Vanessa-She is of Scandinavian descent on her father's side, and of Russian Jewish descent on her mother's.[1] Although she was not raised in any religion, she has referred to herself as "Jewish" and said she was "spiritual".
Gavin-Born in Kilburn, London, England, to parents Barbara Stephan (b. Scotland) and Douglas Rossdale (a doctor of Russian Jewish descent)----but usually a son practices the faith of the mother not the father.
don't know who the annie person is, sorry.
as for pink, her mother is but she does not practice....P!nk was born in Doylestown,[citation needed] Pennsylvania, to James Moore and Judy Jean; she is of Irish, German, and Lithuanian-Jewish heritage. P!nk's Jewish ancestry comes from her mother's side,; P!nk herself does not adhere to any organized religion, although she considers herself Jewish.
p.s. there are many other celebs who are jewish and some who have converted to judaism or to some form of it (like the kabbalah)....ie: madonna.
others born that way include: ben stiller, adam sandler, fran drescher, bette midler, barbara streisand, jerry seinfeld, david draiman, neil diamond, adam duritz, barry manilow, adam levine, lenny kravitz, billy joel, william shatner and leonard nimoy, jason alexander, thora birch, rachel bilson, jack black, selma blair, corey feldman, harvey fierstein, jeff goldblum, sarah michelle gellar, seth green, scarlett johansson...etc...

Most people in Hollywood are Jewish, however I don't think Gavin Rossdale is. I'm not so sure about Pink being born Jewish, but I'm pretty sure she is into Jewish mysticism. I live just outside hollywood and they are mostly all Jews in the movie industry. Not so much in the music business, it's a little more multicultural.

Joan Rivers is the funniest . Drescher & Griffin NOT ( loud isn't funny to me ).. Bette Midler & Laine Kazan are hilarious in films ( "Down & Out in Beverly Hills ; My Big Fat Greek Wedding ").
