Biography

Whitestarr was formed in 2000 and signed by Atlantic Records, but were later dropped. The band was virtually unknown until they became featured on the television show "The Rock Life" on VH1. The premise of the show is a "rockumentary" format, where cameramen follow the band inside the shows and studio and outside in their personal lives.cite web |url=http://www.nypost.com/seven/07192007/gossip/pagesix/hes_got_more_of_a_gift_for_baloney_pagesix_.htm |title=He's Got More of a Gift For Baloney |accessdate=2008-03-06|date=2007-07-19] The series was canceled during its first season due to low ratings.

Whitestarr has gained more notoriety for the personal lives and antics of the members than for any commercial success. Singer Cisco Adler was a paparazzi target while he dated Mischa Barton, Kimberly Stewart, Paris Hilton, and Lauren Conrad [Citation |last=Martindale |first=Stone |title='The Hills' Lauren Conrad's VMA PDA with Cisco Adler |url=http://smallscreen.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1354078.php/The_Hills_Lauren_Conrads_VMA_PDA_with_Cisco_Adler |accessdate=2007-10-06] , while drummer Alex Orbison had been seen on the TV show "LA Ink", which stars his one–time girlfriend, tattoo artist Kat Von D.
