"Gia Mantegna, the daughter of actor Joe Mantegna, has been chosen as Miss Golden Globe 2011.  The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced on Thursday night that the 20-year-old actress will take on the role at the 68th annual ceremony next month.  &amp;quot;I am honoured to be part of this wonderful ongoing tradition created by the HFPA,&amp;quot; said Gia. &amp;quot;I have grown up watching the Golden Globes with my family and feel so fortunate to be part of such a magical evening, so early on in my career.&amp;quot; HFPA president Philip Berk said that they were &amp;quot;thrilled&amp;quot; by the decision, adding: &amp;quot;She is just as talented as she is beautiful and will surely be a great addition to the show.&amp;quot; Gia made her acting debut in 2003&amp;#039;s Uncle Nino, which also starred her father. She has since acted in 13 Going On 30 and Land Of Women, as well as appearing on The Secret Life Of The American Teenager. She will soon appear on TeenNick&amp;#039;s Gigantic.  Other previous Miss Golden Globes include Mavis Spencer, the daughter of Alfre Woodard and Roderick Spencer, and Rumer Willis. Laura Dern, Melanie Griffith and Joely Fisher have also taken on the role in the past.  The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Ricky Gervais, will air live on Sunday, January 16 from 5pm PT/8pm ET on NBC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
