JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- VISTAKON(R), Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., makers of ACUVUE(R) Brand Contact Lenses, has teamed up with some of today's most popular young stars to bring teens an exclusive peak at their most meaningful moments and the experiences that have paved their paths to celebrity. The two part series will air nationally on Fox television on Saturday, December 23 and Saturday, December 30 at 11:30 AM. Check your local newspaper for listings.

ACUVUE PRESENTS CELEBRITY MOMENTS will feature personal stories and insights from hot Hollywood favorites Will Smith, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx and Dakota Fanning. They join the roster of well-known artists like multi-platinum teen songster JoJo to breakout performers like Vanessa Anne Hudgens, star of the wildly popular movie High School Musical and girl group sensation The Cheetah Girls, fresh off of their 41-city tour. Also letting viewers in on some of their private defining moments are teen phenom and recording artist Jesse McCartney and Dawson's Creek alum Joshua Jackson.

In addition to the television program, ACUVUE is hosting a Bonus! companion website at celebrity.acuvue.com where viewers can replay their favorite moments from the television series and view exclusive bonus footage of these and other hot celebs. They also can download a FREE* TRIAL PAIR certificate from ACUVUE so they can start living some of their own defining moments with crisp, clear vision and all-day comfort. The program's online component is now live and will be updated with new content leading up to and following the two air dates.

Additional celebrities lending their names and juicy tales to the project include the down-to-earth songwriting sister team of Aly & AJ; two-time reality TV pop star Ashley Parker Angel; champion extreme skateboarder Bucky Lasek; Brooklyn babe Jeannie Ortega; self-styled "veteran" and R&B heart throb Marques Houston; hip-hop hottie Mila J.; all-American pop rocker Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's; radical skater-girl Jen O'Brien; and outrageous BMX stunt riders Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist.

The series will be hosted by Olympic and World Championship ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, both of whom wear ACUVUE brand contact lenses. Carrie Keagan takes the helm as the lead interviewer getting the lowdown from the all-star roster.

Here's a sneak peak at some of the insider celebrity scoop that will be revealed on the show:

-- Which hottie appeared in Prince's "Diamonds and Pearls" video?
-- What sexy songstress once played homely "Hunchback of Notre Dame" Quazi
Moto?
-- Whose baby was the first one ever born on MTV?
-- Who buys her CD in stores every time she sees it?
-- Whose life was changed by a bike thief?
-- Who needs contact lenses to see the blackboard ... and got all A's in
school last year?

Show viewers will also have a chance to learn all about celebs' current and upcoming projects, and they can go online to get a little additional history on how each of them made it to the top of their games.

"Life is all about defining moments," says show host, Belbin. "A major moment for Ben and I was when we started skating together in 1998. Back then, we had no idea how successful we'd become as a team. The message viewers can take away from this program is how one event can set major changes in motion to affect your life's path," she concludes.
