Private Jet Card

Celebrities’ and corporate executives jet set around the globe because they can afford to do so and because it saves a great deal of time. But many have decided it’s time to do their part when it comes to a greener healthier environment which is why private jets are going carbon neutral and many are holding private jet card. You might be surprised to discover that it actually costs less than 1% of the total flying costs per hour to go carbon neutral. The cost to fly carbon neutral is between $7 and $65 an hour depending on the type of plane. This is nothing when you consider it costs celebrity private jets from $2000 to $13,500 an hour to fly. For under $12,000 you can offset 250 hours in a Falcon 2000 which seats 10 and costs over $20 million to buy. If you were to fly in a Learjet your hourly cost for carbon neutral flight is $25 but a Gulfstream is $60 per hour. It varies greatly depending on the type of private jets we are talking about. Celebrities have bought into an interesting plan that you too can invest in if you like. It’s called TerraPass which is a private jet card and it calculates how much carbon dioxide emissions the flight creates and then attaches a dollar value that you would pay TerraPass with the money going to “Green” or “Environmental Friendly” projects. It’s a great way to do your part and if you visit their site you can calculate your usage and your payment. But let’s get back to the celebrities â€" many of these eco-minded stars make their contribution to TerraPass when they fly commercial or their celebrity private jets choice isn’t carbon neutral. By holding a private jet card they are doing their part to help the environment whether it’s flying carbon neutral jets or contributing to TerraPass. Did you know that one hour in a private jet is equal to one year’s fuel in your car ? There are many celebrities taking carbon neutral serious â€" Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo di Caprico, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and J. Lo, Dave Matthews Band, the Dixie Chicks, and Pearl Jam. Even President Bush, and Al Gore are participating. We think of celebrities as jet setters who are busy filming movies, going on concert, and enjoying a bit of partying with good friends. But too often we don’t stop to think about the great things these celebrities do for the planet and the environment. Concerts to raise funds for the less fortunate or to help with a natural disaster, or to help a less fortunate nation, and now they are doing their part to help our environment as they jet set around in the celebrity private jets participating in carbon neutrals. Once again the celebrities set the stage for the rest of us to do our part! If you fly a great deal every year you should consider holding your own private jet card.

Creative Ways to Display Your Child s Art Work

Creative Ways to Display Your Child s Art Work How many little masterful works of art do you currently have in your home? Whether your child attends preschool or kindergarten or is home schooled, arts and crafts are a natural part of any curriculum. What do you do with these masterpieces? Most are proudly displayed on refrigerator doors. But you can take it a step further and create clever displays for your child’s art work. The best part of course is that your child can help you with this special little project in your home. Here are some tips for creatively displaying your child’s art work: Designate a wall just for your child’s art work and make a simple ‘bulletin board’. Make a background in a contrasting color from the wall itself where you can attach your child’s pictures, paintings, color or worksheets etc. so that their work will stand out. Use letter cutouts to write your child’s name on the background. You can change the theme to go along with the season/holiday etc. Put your child’s art work in frames. You can either buy inexpensive wooden frames from a retail store or get craftier and buy unfinished frames that you and your child can decorate together. Make mats from construction or craft paper for extra flair. These also make great little gift ideas for grandparents and other family members. Put your child’s name and age on the front left corner so everyone will know the artist. Everyone with little kids has paintings and worksheets on their refrigerator. How about planning a simple craft project with your child? Look for large plastic clips, preferably with magnets on the back, and using either a colorful permanent marker or a paint pen, write your child’s name on the front of the clip. If you need to add a magnet to the back, you can find different size magnet strips or discs with adhesive on the back in most craft stores. Kid’s bedroom doors are a great place to display their art work. Rather than just taping the paper to the door, make a banner and hang it up. Your child can help you attach yarn to a dowel rod (about a foot long) and then tape their current art work to the dowel. However you choose to display your child’s art work, always praise your child and truly admire their work. Take pictures of the displays themselves, and as you replace each piece of art, remember to save some for scrap booking memories. Years from now, as you look back you’ll have sweet memories of your child through their art.

Does God Care For The Under Dogs As Well As The Celebrity Heavyweight? Learn More

Does God Care For The Under Dogs As Well As The Celebrity Heavyweight? Learn More Too often society overlooks the hotel maid, bus driver or the building superintendent. But the author points out that without these essential people who keep society functioning, our lives would come to a grinding halt. By telling the story of the average Joe the reader is forced to acknowledge the importance of their jobs. The reader is implored to ask themselves about their treatment of these people, the bellhop; the waiter or the coat check person. Are we snide, entitled and obnoxious? Or are we grateful and appreciative of the jobs they do for us? And while you re at it, ask yourself, how do you show appreciation for such people? Do you tip them properly or even better thank them for their service? This book gives us all something to think about regarding the position we play in society. It also serves as recognition of sorts for all men and women who go about their daily lives and go to their jobs that often provide little or no recognition, appreciation and often times fairly low compensation. You re a Worthwhile Person is the equivalent of This Bud s For You the beer commercial, instead Johnson intimates This Book is For You. Hail to the cooks, cab drivers, subway operators, electricians and plumbers and countless other thankless jobs ordinary people do to provide the grease that keeps the wheels of society going. In one chapter, for instance, Johnson lauds a New York City Transit bus driver, Gloria Valez. Johnson describes how Valez cares for the safety of each passenger. She is patient with the elderly, tolerant of the young and the restless and polite to lonely people who talk to her despite a posted sign that advises against it. Valez is not just working for a paycheck or any sort of recognition, and outside of this book she will probably receive none, even from her employer. But, while standing at the bus stop on a miserably cold day you sure are glad to have her pull up and open the door of the warm bus and drive you to your destination. Other examples, when the air conditioning unit in your home goes out on a 90 plus day, you sure are glad to see the repair person come in to solve the problem and get you cool once again. And while you re in the hospital suffering from an illness or recovering from major surgery, you re surely too glad to see the nursing assistant who sticks around to comfort you after the much lauded nurses and doctors have gone home. Yes, there are many ordinary people who do their jobs diligently while they are overlooked by the people they serve. Read this important work and when you re done you are sure to have a new found respect for the everyday people who do so many important jobs--including yourself. Simeon W. Johnson JohnsonandJohnsonGift.com About the Author Prolific author Simeon W.

Rich Pets – Living a Pampered Lifestyle

He has hundreds of toys, only eats the finest foods and bottled waters, and sleeps in designer beds. He may have an odd yet fashionable collection of clothes to wear for all occasions. He always travels in style and is waited on hand and foot. No matter how their schedule may be, his family will always make time to play with him and have some fun. Does this sound like the child of a rich mogul or celebrity icon? In a way it is. It is the lifestyle of many celebrity pets. Owners are willing to do almost anything for a beloved pet. Pets are pampered more then ever. Many celebrities make hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars within a year’s time. A large portion of that money may be spent towards the care of their fuzzy, furry, or feathery companions and making sure that they are the most pampered pets around. Because of this spiked interest in pampering pets, the market for pet care products and supplies has exploded. Now you can find designer clothes, beds, treats, and houses that well exceed the traditional cost for these items. Celebrity pets have become a sort of accessory for the rich and famous. It is then that ethics must be evaluated. Is the animal seen more as a companion or as a commodity? Some celebrities, not to mention any names, seem to treat their pets as a fashion statement. The animal’s needs should be put first. Certain animals, such as monkeys and chimpanzees, simply do not make ideal pets. Other animals may seem cute when they are young, but they can become quite dangerous when they are older. However, we still see people purchasing these animals. Perhaps it is because many celebrities feel the need to stand out or to be different or maybe to start a new trend. One trend that I have seen is with celebrities and small dogs. I am not bashing celebrities and their pets. I am simply saying that animals are living creatures with feelings and needs. An animal such as a chimpanzee, for example, would not do well living without constant companionship and interactions with his fellow chimpanzees. Also, it is not just celebrities that should be concerned with the welfare of their pets. Many people who are considered to be wealthy own pets but are not what we would deem as having a “celebrity” status. Many people will choose to shower their pets with money, gifts, and the like. It is the responsibility of everyone who chooses to bring an animal into their life, whether they are poor or rich, to take good care of that animal. They are like children and depend on you alone for their care. In reality, your pet doesn’t care how many toys he has or if he sleeps in a designer bed. What he or she really cares about is being loved and having your companionship. bigcatcash.com Work at Home

On Your Way to Becoming A Chef Celebrity

Watching celebrity chefs do what they love most on TV makes their job a lot easy. The viewers that we are, never think that being a chef takes long years of excruciating training and exposure to working with different types of people and kitchen. Juggling a chef s responsibilities such as cooking for people they hardly know while at the same time, impressing the management of the restaurant or hotel where they work for are two tough ones that none of the rest of us will have to go through. Just imagine what these chefs are made of...how they are able to do all the chopping, stirring, preparing food and impressing everybody else all at the same time? Though chefs demonstrate great wit in cooking and perseverance on staying in the heat of the kitchen for hours, they too, know how to interact with co-workers. They also work as acting managers, only in the kitchen though; towards their cooks. But of course, there is no need for reprimands as everyone working in the kitchen has one goal. And that is to make a delectable dish for the famished customers waiting just beyond the kitchen to devour on. Aiming to become a chef celebrity is a motivation. Although, if you are targeting to become a good chef, your milestones should be more of the experiences you have and the people you meet. Learn from the already professional chefs ahead of you and ask questions. Try to work according to what you know, what you stand up for that is right and who knows, many days from now, you ll find yourself in front of the camera waiting for it to go live. Become Chef is a perfect site in the internet to learn all about becoming a Chef.

Over 40 and Fabulous

Women over 40 don’t have sex, they don’t date and they don’t get married. They do become grandmas, bake cookies all day and give out hugs and don’t understand dating, fashion, and flirting and certainly don’t want to do any of that for themselves. Okay, so those are pretty outdated stereotypes. But isn’t that what a lot of us thought growing up? And, isn’t there some part of your brain that still believes a small part of that or something similar? That a 25-year-old woman isn’t going to have anything in common with a 70-year-old woman? Right? Wrong. Or so I discovered when I was in my twenties, that women in their seventies, for example, were just as concerned with fashion, romantic relationships and their looks. That maybe they hadn’t really changed all that much on the inside, even if the outside belied that thought. “Oh yea,” you say, “I know all about that. The widowed lady on our street has been seen in the company of men having coffee down at the town bakery.” That conjures up a certain image, doesn’t it? Gray hair wrapped in a bun, granny glasses, an old housedress, sensible shoes. But what if she had touched-up blonde hair spiked in a short, trendy style with a celebrity brand of sunglasses, was wearing fashionable hip hugging capri pants with a midriff top? What would you think of her now? Would she inspire you to be the best you can be at any age or would you think she was dressing too young? What about the woman in-between? Maybe she’s not frumpy but not stylishly young either. After being widowed or divorced for a couple of years, what if she were to begin datingâ€"not just one man but maybe two? What if she were your mother? Your sister? Your aunt? Or what about all the women who never married? Where do you put them? I love fiction that you can learn from. Where characters have to look inside themselves, face the unpleasant parts about themselves or others but come out stronger. Or have interesting insights. Like the character, MJ, in Old Boyfriends by Rexanne Becnel, People categorize you so that they can dismiss you. How true. I dislike categories, boundaries, boxesâ€"in music, books, movies and especially boundaries around age and who and what we are as women. That s why I m writing Women s Fiction with Attitude â€"fiction for and about women who defy simple descriptions. So what kind of woman do you want to be when you grow up? Libby Gill of Traveling Hopefully says to imagine the type of woman you want to be when you re old. And then one day, when you look in the mirror, you will see her. I know the kind of woman I want to be when I grow up because I’ve seen her. She’s got attitude, she’s got spunk, she’s got enthusiasm for life. She’s found her callingâ€"and it’s probably more along the lines of scaling the highest peaks, deep-sea diving, or traveling the world, rather than baking cookies, baby-sitting grandkids and gardening. Maybe she has kids and grandkids but you wouldn t know it because her life is not defined by them. She can express that side of her but there s so much more to her. She’s taking that job transfer to Texas and learning how to 2-step or she’s gone off to Paris, Australia,or Hong Kong by herself or with some old friends. Or maybe she’s gone off with somebody new in Las Vegas, London or Montreal. If she s afraid, you wouldn t know that either because she doesn t let fear stop her from taking that risk, to dare to be who she really is. Because the woman I ve seen dares to live. And it doesn t hurt to have a little attitude. A little motto. Like what s inscribed on my coffee cup, It s Hard To Be Humble When You re Fabulous! And that s who I m starting to see when I look in the mirror. Kathy Holmes writes women s fiction with romantic comedy elements while raising an awareness for Women over 40 and Fatherless Daughters.

The Media Age Of Celebrity Faux News

It s all over the Internet. It s prominent on the cable news stations. It s become popular on the network news. You can see it in the tabloids in the newsstands. Everywhere you can see the tragic mistakes of the modern celebrity. It s all celebrity bad behavior all the time. The media s sensational stories of celebrities personal, sad, and tragic problems have created its own industry of faux news. The sight of Paris Hilton going to jail created a frenzy of news media coverage for two full days. Hilton was the number three story on cable TV. It was the eighth most heavily covered story on network TV news. However, this celebrity faux news did not make the top ten stories covered in American newspapers. There was similar television media coverage after the death of Anna Nicole Smith. For days nearly half of cable news coverage was devoted to her story, making it by far the most heavily covered story for a week on cable. Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith are not exceptions. There are plenty of celebrity stories for the media and the paparazzi to exploit for faux news. They can choose stories involving the personal issues of Lindsey Lohan, Nicole Richie, and Britney Spears or the new legal issues of O.J. Simpson. There seems to be an endless supply of celebrity news for the media to report. The media creates and distributes celebrity faux news because it can be packaged to appear to be sensational. It involves a celebrity that we know and therefore it appears to touch us in a personal way. For the television media it means ratings at a bargain basement price. The panel discussions, the speculation, and the experts are cheap. The same issue can appear on a cable channel all day or all week. What does the American public think of all this celebrity faux news? The Pew Research Center for People and the Press completed a new national survey in July 2007. Here are its findings: An overwhelming majority of the public (87%) says celebrity scandals receive too much news coverage. This criticism generally holds across most major demographic and political groups. Virtually no one thinks there is too little coverage of celebrity scandals. Who is to blame for the excess celebrity coverage? The Pew Survey states that a majority of the public point to the media. Fully 54% of those who say celebrity news is over-covered also believe news organizations are to blame for giving these stories so much coverage. Roughly a third (32%) say the public is to blame for paying so much attention to them, and another 12% say the media and the public are both equally to blame . In summary, the survey finds that 87% of Americans feel that celebrities scandals are over covered by the media. Nobody believes that there is too little celebrity coverage, and 66% believe that the media is in some way to blame for the excess coverage. It is interesting to note that a majority of young people under thirty blamed the public for excess celebrity coverage. People over thirty years of age overwhelmingly blamed the media. This media obsession with the faux news of the sometimes troubled personal lives of celebrities is taking media attention and focus away from important national and international news stories and events in 2007. It is contributing to the dumbing down of American society. Indeed, it is very disturbing that we have heard little from the American media about the heroic story of Aung San Suu Kyi, even with the recent worldwide attention given to the sad events in Burma (Myanmar). However, we have heard far too much about the personal problems and issues of our celebrities. It is the substantive news that we could know, and don t, that should concern us. This media age of celebrity faux news comes at the expense of real news, and poses a danger to a free and literate society.

What Is It About Celebrities And Designer Perfume?

What Is It About Celebrities And Designer Perfume? Not so long ago, the designer perfumes that adorned high end department store counters were the sole creation of large cosmetic companies. Such brands as Guerlain, Chanel, and Estee Lauder were incredibly popular and celebrities would often be approached by these companies to endorse their brand of designer perfumes. Things have changed in recent years; celebrities are no longer content to simply endorse a cosmetic company s designer perfume. It is now a status symbol for Hollywood celebrities to own their own line of Cosmetics, designer perfumes, and clothing. The extent of a celebrity s involvement can vary greatly in any designer perfume that caries their name. Many celebrities do little more than simply approve the finished product letting professionals carry out the design tasks. Others are very hands on in their approach, becoming very involved in the design concept stage all the way through to how their designer perfume will be marketed. While many celebrities claim to be involved in nearly every aspect of the creation of their designer perfume, they are not talking about going into a laboratory and mixing different scents like a modern day Dr. Frankenstein. They are talking about taking part in the processes that developed the specific type of scent that they would like to manufacture. They sometimes also contribute to the look and design of the bottle and how their new line of perfume should be marketed. One celebrity that takes great pride in their involvement of her designer perfume production is Jennifer Lopez. After working behind a cosmetics counter for a time, she had no doubts about the scent that she wanted for her signature fragrance. The slight sake scent that was added the combination of fragrance was actually credited to her by the cosmetics company. Her penchant for jewelry is one of the main reasons she had the bottle designed to include pretend necklace or diamond ring. Due to her involvement in many aspects of the development of her scent, she can be sure that the fragrance is an accurate reflection of her. You also have other celebrities, such as Paris Hilton, that are not nearly as involved in the design of their perfume. However, Paris has a very large role in how her perfume is marketed. You probably would not even be able to find her perfume at the local discount and drug stores among all of the other fragrances if it were not for her face on the package. The reaction was not always positive when Hollywood celebrities first began introducing their designer perfumes decades ago. Many critics believed that celebrity perfumes were nothing more than a passing fad. With stars such as Britney Spears and Sarah Jessica Parker joining the growing ranks of celebrity perfume makers, the industry of celebrity designed fragrances is growing at an astounding rate.

Anorexia, Bulimia, and Depression - Is There A Cure?

Anorexia, Bulimia, and Depression - Is There A Cure? Many of those suffering from anorexia and bulimia are high-functioning adults coping with stress, anxiety, and depression. They may have tried many different solutions to their problem. This article explores the typical experiences of a few people suffering from such eating disorders. Most therapists today deal with these disorders by first treating the underlying causes of the body-image problems. These causes are assumed to be past experiences and how they may have affected us. Women and men who suffer from these illnesses may have to overcome deeper issues ranging from poor self-esteem to childhood abuse. Effective therapy can help improve their professional and family lives as well. Therapy for anorexia and bulimia Anorexia, bulimia, and eating disorders are a way of coping when stress and anxiety seem unbearable. With the encouragement of a therapist, an anorexic or bulimic client can learn to face the sources of her stress or anxiety, and find healthier means of reacting to stressful situations. One woman who had overcome eating disorders several years earlier consulted a psychotherapist in Austin when her problems recurred. This woman had recently moved into Austin, and she was without the support of family and friends while working at a new job. She had reverted to her old methods of coping with stress, namely food. Food is a form of self-treatment for many people, as it was in this woman s case. Her therapist helped her to see her need for developing new relationships, and she also participated in group therapy to meet people. By the end of therapy, she made new friends and was excelling in her new job. Her eating disorder no longer affected her. Eating disorders and treating depression Depression can be another cause of eating disorders too. Of course, eating disorders can cause someone to be depressed, so determining cause from effect is difficult. A depressed person may overeat, or not eat enough, and so either gain or lose a lot of weight. This will affect their physical health. A therapist will help her concentrate on her strengths and regain her sense of balance. One woman in Houston was depressed because her husband had had an affair and left her. She blamed herself and her recent weight gain for this, but was not able to lose weight. She tried everything she could but the weight remained. Therapy helped her see several other contributors to her depression. She explored some of the events in her past that were causing her a great deal of distress. She was able to take responsibility for her eating habits, and find a warm and supportive relationship. Eating disorders, PTSD and victims of sexual abuse Post-traumatic Stress Disorder may happen because of one-time traumas likes being the victim of an accident or a crime, and also because of long-term abuse like childhood sexual or physical abuse. PTSD often goes hand in hand with eating disorders. Victims of childhood abuse sometimes keep the abuse secret, and the therapist may be the first person they confide in. Sometimes when childhood abuse has been blocked out, a reaction may be triggered in adult life by seemingly unrelated events. And lots of times, bulemia or overeating is a symptom. One therapist in Denver helped her client work her way through traumatic memories by giving her art and journaling exercises. These gave the victim a sense of perspective and she was able to stop blaming herself. She also became better connected with others emotionally. Her eating disorder markedly improved. Eating disorders and counseling for couples Eating disorders may affect someone who is married or in a committed relationship. Counseling can benefit married, engaged, or lesbian and gay couples, if one has an eating disorder. The partner with the eating disorder may feel guilty for what he thinks he is causing his partner to feel. And the partner may feel guilty for feelings of resentment towards the partner with the disorder. That is why couples therapy helps so much. The most common problems that bring partners into therapy are poor communication, or upheavals like illness, death of a family member, or an affair. Any of these can plunge partners into depression and conflict and often make the eating disorder worse. Therapy can find the cause of the dissatisfaction, and a solution both partners are happy with while preserving the relationship. It helped one lesbian couple in Austin to come to terms with each other’s families of origin. They were able to work out ways to achieve both their goals without sabotaging their relationship. Even though one partner remained quite overweight, the couple achieved a peaceful resolution and enjoyed a much better relationship.

Executive Protection - Risky Business

I recently read about a bodyguard who was killed while protecting American government VIPs in Iraq. He was shot in the neck, which was the only part of his body that was not protected by body armour. Clearly, the individual who killed him was a highly-trained sharp shooter. At this level of Executive Protection, the “bad guys” become more dangerous, better trained, and even more ardent in their efforts. These types of assignments are designated as “high risk.” The bodyguard was no doubt superbly trained and skilled, and had in fact been honored and medalled by the Queen of England for his work. And still, he was killed on the job. He was only 45, and leaves behind a young wife who is devastated. I thought it time to address the part of Executive Protection Services that is often overlookedâ€"the inherent risks associated with this line of work. I recall when I was first hired to work as a bodyguard to Prince. To many, his arrival on the music scene was exciting and ground-breaking and to most fans, “Purple Rain” was a musical phenomenon. The downside was a certain segment of the population viewed Prince as “the Anti-Christ.” I thought I had the greatest job in the worldâ€"great pay, and of course the cachet of being one of the bodyguards for the hottest performer of that time. I also clearly remember the time we went to a concert venue and had to do a security sweep with bomb-sniffing dogs because there’d been religious zealots who thought Prince represented evil and claimed bombs had been placed at the venue to try and prevent the concert. That was the day I realized that this was not a “fun-and-games” job. I realized that this high-paying job comes with a very high price tag: potentially the loss of my life. Now, for the most part, protecting a celebrity is not deemed “high risk.” (Those assignments usually go to individuals with a good deal of military training and the paychecks for those jobs are staggering because of the level of risk involved.) However, even when working as a celebrity bodyguard, there were a certain number of people who were a potential risk to be around. I remember a individual in Atlanta who approached me and told me “God had commissioned her to kill Prince.” We took every threat very seriously. We just never knew. Being associated with a celebrity meant that we were all targets. It really hadn’t occurred to me when I signed on to work for Prince. I thought I was invincible. I don’t know that this business is the right fit for an individual with a family. Granted, the paycheck can be lucrative and alluringâ€"but remember, if you have a wife and children, it is not your life alone that is impacted, should you be wounded or killed on the job. The risk is very real and the consequences can be far-reaching. Just as Law Enforcement officers are putting their safety and very life on the line every day, Executive Protection can mean you are taking the blow (or the bullet) for your employer. It’s something to think about. Harlan V. (Hucky) Austin has acquired over 20 years of field experience as a Close Protection Operative/Bodyguard, seven years of which he served as Director of Security Services for Paisley Park Productions. Foremost in his duties at Paisley Park was assuring the safety and welfare of the musical artist Prince, as well as celebrities with whom Prince collaborated or associated with â€" Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, Morris Day, Sheena Easton, George Clinton and Kim Basinger to name a few. bodyguardcareers.com

Tyra Banks - Supermodel to Multi-Media Star

Say what you will about Tyra Banks as a TV host, reality-show judge, recording artist, or humanitarian. One thing is for sure: She is smokin hot. Being smokin hot is how she makes her living, really. She s a supermodel. It s a prerequisite for the job. Her modeling career was launched in Europe in the 1990s, initially to pay for college tuition. Quickly thereafter, she became a worldwide phenomenon. She has appeared on the covers of countless magazines, making history by becoming the first African-American woman to be featured on the cover of GQ, the Victoria s Secret catalog, and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and calendar. Countless men devote countless hours to staring at her photos in magazines or the internet, as she continues to rate in the top 10 most searched personalities online. Banks always had ambitions beyond just modeling, however. She appeared in several episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1993 and went on to do guest spots on other TV shows, including Just Shoot Me and Felicity. She co-starred in several lousy movies, too: Love Stinks, Coyote Ugly, and Halloween-Resurrection, none of which should be watched without close friends and couple glasses of wine. Savvy businesswoman that she is, she rode the wave of a great idea with America s Next Top Model, a reality show that premiered on UPN in 2003 and promptly received the young network s highest ratings ever. Banks is the show s host and main judge, as well as one of its executive producers. Tyra parlayed the success of that Top Model into her own talk show in 2005, where with grace, wit and humility, entertains a wide range of guests, some famous some not, on topics ranging from movie releases to breast cancer. The main thrust of the show features regular people and their regular issues -- like Oprah, only, you know, hotter. Banks made news in early 2007 when she re-created her 1997 Sports Illustrated swimsuit photo shoot -- complete with a bikini that demonstrated how much larger her body had gotten since then. She told People magazine that she s 30 pounds heavier now than she was in 1997, but that she feels comfortable with her body and no longer wishes to (or has to) starve herself to succeed. With her talk show aimed at ordinary American women, it seems only right that she s not so supermodel thin that ordinary women can t relate to her. Tyra Banks is a breath of fresh air. While many of her supermodel colleagues have a haughty, diva-like, self-important persona, she is the opposite of those things. Her work with TZONE helps empower young girls, and her reality show, America s Top Model launches careers. It s also a blast to watch. And unlike many of her peers, she has genuine talent beyond the runway -- she hasn t modeled since 2005 -- and cares about the world around her in more than just a superficial way. She puts the super in supermodel. And did we mention she s smokin hot? Nasanji Parker is a successful celebrity gossip columnist and avid celebrity and supermodel watcher.

Best Exercises To Firm Inner Thighs

Exercises for the thighs not only help sculpt and firm up the legs, they also help minimize unsightly cellulites. Simply walking or engaging in aerobic exercises can tone the legs but not necessarily the inner thighs. There are numerous exercises to firm inner thighs and the exercises you need depend on which part of the inner thighs you need to strengthen or tone and for what purpose you are exercising your thighs. Most women want to have toned thighs but not bulky muscles like those of body builders. To achieve slim thighs, many women use lower resistance or weights and increase the repetitions of their exercise. The inner thigh muscles are called the hip adductors. You need to exercise caution when working out your inner muscles. Over exerting your self may result in injury especially if you have not been exercising for a while. You may also get the services of a personal trainer to help you get started. You must also do stretches before your work out. One exercise that is recommended is the press lift. In the press lift, you contract your inner thigh muscles while holding a ball between your ankles while lying on your side. Although this sounds completely easy, it is not. Another exercise to firm inner thighs is the lunges. Lunges not only tone your inner thighs, they also tone the outer thighs and the hamstrings. In the dumbbell lunge, you hold dumbbells and pull your shoulders back. You put either one of your feet forward and then slowly bend your knees so that your inner thighs are stretched. After holding the position for a few seconds, slowly return to the standing position and repeat the procedure but switching to the other leg. When your knees are bent, remember that your knee should be over your ankles and not go beyond.
