Who says that it actually has to be a holiday for you to enjoy watching a holiday movie? Some people get quite a lot of enjoyment out of watching Valentine’s Day movies in September and Christmas movies in June. Here are a few that can be enjoyed no matter what time of year it is!

Home for the Holidays: This movie stars Holly Hunter as a single mother who travels back to her childhood home to spend Thanksgiving weekend with her family. Robert Downey Jr. plays her brother and the rest of the supporting cast of characters is charming and wonderful as they play their dysfunctional family roles perfectly! What makes this family so charming is that their dysfunction comes from being a traditional family. Dad plays the organ and turns the hose on kids who argue while Mom nitpicks and the sister tries to be the perfect homemaker. You will not stop laughing until the credits roll!

Love Actually: The great thing about this holiday movie is that it is not technically a holiday movie. Sure the story takes place in the month before and after Christmas and so many of the activities that the characters engage in are Christmas related. Really though, the story is about personal relationships and how intertwined we all can be. This is a movie that you will want to put on repeat so that you can figure out just how all of the characters are connected!

Planes Trains and Automobiles: Steve Martin plays a man whose only wish is to get home and spend the Thanksgiving Day with his family in this movie. Along the way he finds himself stuck with the loud and slightly obnoxious John Candy. This hysterical movie can be enjoyed no matter what time of year it is.

Edward Scissorhands: This movie takes place around Halloween, but it doesn’t have to be October thirty first to enjoy one of Johnny Depp’s first movie roles. Who doesn’t have a soft spot in their heart for the young man with scissors for hands who simply wanted to find a way to hold the girl he loved? This is also one of Tim Burton’s first popular movies and a great introduction to his oddball style!

When Harry Met Sally: This movie’s quintessential scene takes place on New Year’s Eve but you don’t have to wait until the ball starts dropping in Times Square to enjoy watching the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. This movie about how people come together is a classic and is what helped make Meg Ryan a star.

One of the best things about the movie watching experience is that, if the movie is good, a movie can transport you to another time and another place. This is why it is so popular to watch summer movies in the winter and winter movies in the summer—the thrill of escaping your current surroundings for something better.

Musical idols have their own idols, too.  They’re fans at heart, who were, at one time, in the audience of bands whose tunes and lyrics inspired them to get into the music business.  But they’ve had other influences, too, including actors who they pay tribute to in their lyrics.  Here are a few songs and lyrics by musicians who were inspired by an actor’s life or movies–or who they think are just plain hot!

“Candle in the Wind” – Elton John

Although this classic’s poignant, bittersweet lyrics about movie icon Marilyn Monroe were penned by Bernie Taupin, Elton John deeply sympathized with the emotional anguish behind Monroe’s public persona.  The lyrics refer to Monroe by her real name, Norma Jean, and speak with dignity to the human being, not the sex symbol:  “Goodbye Norma Jean/From the young man in the 22nd row/Who sees you as something more than sexual/More than just our Marilyn Monroe.”  Monroe tragically died at age 36.

“James Dean” – The Eagles

In his mere 26 years, charismatic movie star James Dean became a legend whose legacy is eternal.  A daredevil who enjoyed taking risks, Dean also packed a lot of living into those 26 years.  The lyrics to this appropriately fast-paced song express admiration for Dean, and remorse over his death.  A huge race fan, Dean was killed on the way to a race in Salinas, California when his Porsche 550 Spyder was hit head-on at the intersections of Highways 46 and 41.  Part of the lyrics deal specifically with the horrific crash:  “Along came a Spyder/And picked up a rider/And took him down the road to eternity/…You were too fast to live/Too young to die/Bye-bye.”

“Bette Davis Eyes” – Kim Carnes

Originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon in 1974 and made famous by Kim Carnes in 1981, this song’s lyrics salute silver screen star, Bette Davis, known for playing strong-willed, independent women, and for her huge, seductive eyes.  Some of those lyrics include, “She’s ferocious and she knows just/What it takes to make a pro blush/All the boys think she’s a spy/She’s got Bette Davis eyes.”  The acclaimed actress was so flattered by the song and its lyrics that she wrote a letter personally thanking Carnes and the songwriters for making her “a part of modern history.”

“The Johnny Depp Song” – Amy Anne

As if the name “Johnny Depp” wasn’t spine-tingling on its own, it’s enough to induce permanent euphoria when set to music.  A vocalist for the band, Xenophilia, Amy Anne co-wrote the music and lyrics to “The Johnny Depp Song,” which appeared on her solo album, “Supergirl.”  Sung in smoky, sultry cabaret style, the lyrics to this ode to Depp’s physical attributes abound with humor that your average stalker could relate to:  “Johnny Depp you’re cruel/You’re the harbinger of drool/Come mow my lawn without a shirt, Johnny Dirt.”

Whether it’s love, lust, respect, sympathy or awe, musicians have paid tribute to countless movie stars in their song lyrics.  And, coming from a musician, being immortalized in one of their songs is their highest compliment.

Over the last couple decades styles have changed dramatically. Today, if you want to look your absolute best, a bright, white smile, is what is necessary. People are judged by their smiles for things like job applications, attraction purposes, or just because they’re nice to look at.

Since a big white smile is so popular these days, great products are being released at a very reasonable cost. In the past, you could shell out literally thousands of dollars trying to get that movie star smile, but those times are gone. If you can’t afford porcelain veneers, or an expensive trip to the dentist for a bleaching, you still have options to get that great smile.

There are all kinds of over-the-counter products designed to brighten your teeth. There are bleaching trays, whitening strips, and various other products. How often you have to whiten your teeth involves your eating and drinking habits. The whitening could last 1 month and it could last a year, it just depends on the person.

Luckily these products are priced reasonably enough that they can be used on a monthly basis if needed. Now we’ve all heard of whitening strips and bleaching trays from the commercials. The whitening strips, used to be my product of choice, until I came across a fantastic new product that you basically just paint on your teeth each day and it only takes a couple of minutes.

The results are noticeable after only a few days and I can’t say enough about them. Now the downfall is this amazing product can’t be found in stores, it can only be found online. So you happen to be in luck if your interested in checking them out, because I’ve provided the link below…Congratulations on your new and improved smile!

Movie stars. Loved by many, hated by some and the envy of all those around them, but how do they do it?

Perfect bodies, fit and trim.

Effortless rapid weight loss.

They fit in the smallest of clothes.

It’s enough to make your sick. So what is their secret?

Lots of cash to hire a personal trainer?

A personal chef to cook their food?

Yes, that can definitely help, but it is really a double edged sword. Tons of cash can also mean, who cares if you flake on your personal trainer. You can afford to pay and not go or just find a new one. A personal chef is great, but who says you won’t ask them to make you something rich and delicious? After getting your own personal chef, who would only want carrots and celery?

Have you guessed their secret weapon? Did you know that most of the movie stars don’t even know about it? They have it, they feel its effects, but they haven’t harnessed its power. In fact, it is why many turn to illegal drugs. Some of the drugs are just for getting a high to escape and others are specifically for losing weight. Both work, both are illegal and both kill you. Not a good option.

So, what is their secret weapon that is leading them to their fantastic bodies? It’s accountability to their fans. They have millions and millions of people always scrutinizing them. Every extra pound or inch gets noticed and their career is on the line. The public is fickle. They can be on top of the world one day and totally invisible and out of work the next.

Accountability is why so many celebrity diets work for the celebrity. It’s not the diet, it’s the millions of fans watching their every move. If they are successful, they are loved by millions, if they fail, they are ridiculed on every tabloid. With motivation like that, who couldn’t have a fit and trim body.

You too can harness the secret weight loss weapon of celebrities, without all the baggage that goes along with being a celebrity. Being in the public eye also creates an enormous amount of stress, which directly interferes with weight loss, not to mention, leads many down the path of destruction.

By being accountable, you can get the same motivation movie stars use to lose the weight and get that dream body. By building a team of friends around you, who are supporting you on your weight loss goal, you are no longer alone. When you win, your friends win and they get to join in the fun by cheering you along. Not to mention, you will be inspiring them to realize their dream body as well. Stop trying to lose weight alone and get an accountability team around you to insure your success.
