Carrie Ann Inaba is known most for her gig as judge on Dancing with the Stars. But though we have wondered how she fit into this role, there's actually a lot of things she has achieved in her career.
Although launching her career initially as a singer in Japan, she was first introduced to America as one of the Fly Girls on the comedy sketch series In Living Color with superstar Jennifer Lopez from 1990-1992!
Along with another superstar, Carrie Ann was one of the dancers for Madonna's Girlie Show World Tour in 1993 where she shaved her hair off!
Take it back to Austin Powers in Goldmember, where Carrie played Fook Yu, the identical twin of Fook Mi. Though she has acted in a few films, Carrie was usually casted as a dancer. She even choreographed several television series like American Idol.
Yesterday on Live with Regis and Kelly, Carrie Ann Inaba filled in as co-host for Kelly Ripa with Regis Philbin. During the show, her boyfriend Jesse Sloan made a surprise visit!
When the lights dimmed, he bent down on one knee and said, "I've struggled to find the words to express what you mean to me. You're an inspiration, you're beautiful, you're wonderful, you're everything to me. Will you marry me?" Carrie Ann replied, "Yes. I will marry you...You tricked me!" Her beautiful 2.5 karat princess cut diamond cut ring is from Santa Monica's Rafinity Jewellers.
With a bright past and present, Carrie Ann is bound for more things in her career. This Chinese, Japanese, and Irish dancer/host/singer/choreographer has so much more to offer to audiences worldwide. She's a true example of working hard to do what you love in life and having success come out of it.
