The Five Most Interesting Movie Star Twitter Accounts

CJ — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:17:22 +0000

Social media sites like twitter are hugely popular for many different reasons, but one in particular is that it allows fans direct access to some of their favorite stars. Having this direct link allows people to follow and interact with stars that normally they would have no ability to contact. And with it’s popularity, it’s easy to get on and follow any number of your favorite celebrities. Here are a few exciting twitter accounts in show business that you may want to take a look at.

Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin is an undisputed star, and yet he finds tons of time to devote to his twitter account and followers. Much of his tweeting is political based, as Alec is big into politics, and he will openly engage in conversation with nearly anyone. Much of his ranting is in response to tweets disagreeing with his position, which makes following Alec so much fun especially if the current political landscape interests you.

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton is a frequent tweeter and an idiot, so he naturally has millions of followers. His recent run in with controversy surrounding the Penn State fiasco was not only fun to behold in real time, but a spectacular foot-in-mouth moment that can happen on twitter so easily. He has said since this incident that he will be turning over his account to his handlers who are no doubt much smarter than poor Ashton, so no word on if his account will be nearly as fun.

Joe Rogan

Joe is a stand up comedian, UFC color man(and super fan), back in the new Fear Factor, and is a frequent tweeter. This all makes for an excellent follow if any of the above are an interest to you. Any number of topics can come up on Joe’s tweets, and I find that some of the most interesting ones from Joe come following a stand up show at a particular place. He is always thankful, gracious, vulgar, and extremely sincere. Joe is an example of using tweeting up to its fullest.

Roger Ebert

Although Roger isn’t a real movie star, he is a celebrity in his own right. Everybody knows Roger from his years and years(and years) of colorful movie reviews, but Roger is an equally strong blogger. He uses tweets to announce that he may be watching a flick on AMC, and direct you to his review, or mention a topical news piece and his blog on the subject. For movie buffs, Roger Ebert is a good follow.

Patton Oswalt

Patton is one of the funniest comedians going today, as well as strong TV star. His tweets are often hilarious, and he does a nice job giving shout outs to fan-made flicks as well as some to his own favorite celebs. Patton is a great example of the positive power twitter can have for fans as well as stars. But for his own brand of comedy alone, then Patton Oswalt is a sure twitter follow.

Lady Gaga: Nuts?

Is Lady Gaga nuts? Is she crazy and off her rocker? Should we be spinning our finger by our ear when we see her walk by?

Yes.

Legally, there are three classes of mental illness that qualify as insanity: you are insane if you cannot distinguish fantasy from reality; are subject to impulsive behavior; and if you cannot conduct your business affairs due to psychosis.

And so, legally speaking, Gaga might be sane. That is, if we can get past the inability to distinguish fantasy from reality and her outrageously impulsive behavior, we must surely conclude that she is a shrewd businesswoman making money hand over fist.

Gaga’s recent Monster’s Ball tour is a great case study. First of all, monsters do not exist. She named her tour after a fiction. Already we can document her struggles with reality. Not just that, but she told Stephen Fry of the Financial Times that she lives “halfway between reality… and fantasy at all times”. Troubling indeed.

Concerns of her Ladyship’s mental state as illustrated by Monster’s Ball do not stop there. Gaga’s impulsive nature has never been so clearly detailed as when she re-designed the show each and every time it was performed. Insane? ‘Fraid so. Hey Gaga, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

But of course Gaga is doing just fine when it comes to business affairs. Forbes ranked Lady Gaga the most powerful celebrity of 2011, citing the $90 million she made over the last year, coupled with her robust social media and public speaking endeavors. Anyone who makes that kind of dough, and has that kind of business savvy, has got to be sane, right?

Well… not when you make that kind of dough and you are also bankrupt! Gaga told Stephen Fry that “money means nothing to me…” and that “I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of The Monster Ball”.

Image via Wikipedia

Oh dear. An extreme inability to handle business affairs, added to a failure to separate fantasy from reality and outrageously impulsive behavior (meat suit?)… it all adds up to insanity for the Mother Monster. But if what we have seen is insanity, who wants her to be sane?

A lot of people say this chick is crazy. Some say she is hilarious. Others are even confused of her gender. Find out more what people have to say about this successful talented artist by doing a people search.

Trip Down Memory Lane… First Concert

CJ — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 03:23:16 +0000

This isn’t one of our typical news posts, but more of a retrospective on a period in my life when I was naive, innocent & young enough not to know better.

My First Concert

Image by Pearl Jam Official via Flickr

I can’t specifically remember how the topic came up of going to see Pearl Jam in Salt Lake City back in the mid-90′s, but I remember going with my friend Enrique. I had liked Pearl Jam from what I’d heard on the radio and I think they were playing with Veruca Salt(?) and a couple other opening bands; I remember they were pretty good btw.

Anyway, I think we pre-purchased our concert tickets to the show and having my first car (I was only 16), I was ready to go & have some fun.

The concert was at the Delta Center, which I was actually pretty familiar with because we had 1/3 of a season’s tickets to Utah Jazz home games. Other than the venue, the entire atmosphere was a completely new experience.

One of the things I remember distinctly was the smell of pot throughout the entire arena. I don’t think smoking was allowed in the building at the time; let alone smoking mary-jane. This was the first time that I’d been exposed to an illegal drug – odd at 16 years old, but yeah… I didn’t use during or after the concert, but I’m sure there was enough there to get a (minor) contact high (yeah, maybe that’s a stretch).

The concert was fantastic… I remember that I had very little of my voice left afterwards and for about 2 additional days. We didn’t even leave the arena until around midnight, so not only was it my first concert, but it was also the latest I’d been allowed to stay out with some friends away from home (or their home).

While I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my lifetime, I think the Pearl Jam concert opened my eyes in terms of what to expect and that I could really enjoy going. Since the concert, my interest in Pearl Jam has definitely waned, but I think that has more to do with their new music, more than anything. Their album Ten is still my favorite – easy choice for sure.

Since Pearl Jam, some of my favorite concerts include:

KoRn, Stone Sour & Deftones in Phoenix.
Seether in Phoenix.
Silverchair in Salt Lake.
Staind, Nickelback & others in Phoenix.

Omegas – The Starry Watch

CJ — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 17:57:03 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

Omega watches are the official watch of the International Space Station and have been carried by astronauts to the Moon. But for many of us down here on Earth they are associated with a different type of stellar individual – movie stars.

Wearers of the famous Swiss watch brand include Hollywood Hunk George Clooney, ‘Pretty Woman’ Julia Roberts, Memories of a Geisha star Zhang Ziyi and James Bond actor Daniel Craig alongside a multitude of sporting stars such as Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

However, unlike some endorsement deals where the star simply wears a fashion item, the deals in place at Omega watches are a little less straightforward. The luxe watchmaker offers the celebrities an opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of the less fortunate.

A classic example of this altruism is Daniel Craig. When not on set in great films such as ‘Casino Royale’ or appearing on the London stage with legendary actors such as Michael Gambon, the star volunteers time with the charity Orbis international , a global non-profit organization dedicated to preventing and treating blindness by providing quality eye care. The organisation runs the Orbis Flying Eye hospitals that provide optical care in developing nations and also offer local doctors the tools, training and technology necessary to develop workable and lasting solutions to the tragedy of unnecessary blindness.

By building their long-term capabilities, Orbis helps its partner institutions take action to reach a state where they can provide, on their own, quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and sustainable.

This work does not fund itself however and campaigners such as Daniel Craig use their influential position to encourage donors. One way of doing this is with the production of a timepiece such as the Omega watches DeVille Hour Vision Blue.

The Hour Vision Blue wristwatch is a special edition. It has a classic 41 mm stainless steel case and is equipped with a Co-Axial calibre 8500, the movement that signalled a revolution in series-produced mechanical watchmaking.

The rear of the case features sapphire glass which, whilst proving incredibly resilient, allows you to view the inner workings of the mechanism.

Adding distinction to the timepiece is its specially designed sun-brushed blue dial. It has 18 Ct white gold facetted hour, minute and seconds hands coated with white Super-LumiNova and features a date window at the 3 o’clock position.

Regardless of the charitable intentions you can be guaranteed that watches such as this will reinforced the reputation of the traditional watch and of the celebrities who endorse the entire range.

Female folk country music artists: Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris - Image via Wikipedia

Hailing from Alabama, the multi award-winning Emmylou Harris is one of country folk music’s most influential female artists. Though she is a singer-songwriter, Harris is also well-known for her beautiful reinterpretations of other artists’ work.

Harris has received 12 Grammy Awards over her 30 year career, selling more than 15 millions records around the world. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and then the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009, Harris’ prolific musical career began in the 70s, albeit with humble and tragic beginnings.

Harris serendipitously met country singer Gram Parsons whilst performing one night with Gerry Mule and Tom Guidera. The pair instantly connected musically, with Harris going on to perform vocal harmonies and duets with Parsons on tours and for his iconic LP, Grievous Angels. Only weeks after the session recordings, Parsons was found dead in a motel from an accidental drug and alcohol overdose.

A bereaved Harris went on produce her debut solo album, Pieces of the Sky, a collection filled with reinventions of other artists’ songs including the Beatles and Dolly Parton. The album was number seven on the Billboard Country Charts.

A master collaborator and composer, Harris has worked with the likes of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes and Elvis Costello. Drifting from country folk music to Bluegrass and rock, Harris’s sound easily transcended genres and had a profound influence in bringing country music to rock audiences. Her second LP, Elite Hotel is a poignant example of this and foreshadowed her immensely important role in getting a wider mainstream audience to enjoy and buy country folk music.

Harris still performs around the world, having recently toured Australia and headlining Sydney Festival’s famous opening night event, Festival First Night. As a testament to her enduring career, Harris released a new solo album, Hard Bargains in April this year, which you can purchase using music gift cards. There are even rumours that she will feature in seasoned pop artist Bonnie Tyler’s upcoming album.

Top Celebrity Jewelry Trends for 2011

CJ — Sun, 22 May 2011 19:58:34 +0000

If you want to know what the next big trend in jewelry is going to be, it’s always a safe bet to take a cue from the most fashionable, well-dressed celebrities. Whether these actresses or pop stars are strutting the red carpet, grabbing groceries, or just showing off a new diamond engagement ring, they often dress to impress with clothing and jewelry choices that set fashion trends around the world.

In 2011, judicious use of certified loose diamonds in more subtle, but higher quality, jewelry is becoming more popular than the bedazzled costume jewelry of years past. At this year’s award shows, shoulder-grazing earrings were still in attendance on some celebrities, but many more opted for sparkling, embellished dresses, and simple, but beautiful jewelry. Many stars were careful to match the tone and style of their dresses with coordinating jewelry choices, like the classic pairing of red dress and diamond jewelry worn by Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lawrence to the Oscars. Other celebrities, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Adams, and Helen Mirren, opted for over-the-top glamour and sensational statement jewelry pieces, while Natalie Portman chose perhaps the most wearable look of all—simple tassel earrings and her brand-new engagement ring (more on that later.)

But not every occasion calls for certified loose diamonds, so another huge trend this year is pearls. Moving beyond the standard single strand necklace, pearls are showing up in drop earring styles, lariat necklaces, and chunky cocktail rings. Why pearls? The celebrity seen in pearls more than any other is none other than First Lady Michelle Obama, who uses Jackie O style pearls to add some presidential class to her casual but sophisticated ensembles.

Pantone, the color authority, has declared 2011 the year of honeysuckle pink. That’s good news for jewelry lovers, because pink diamonds and pink sapphires make beautiful necklaces, earrings and rings. Pink gemstones are modern yet romantic, fashion-forward but traditional. Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Tara Reid has been spotted with this unique jewelry trend. Another colored gemstone trend that has surged to popularity is green emeralds, especially when used in dramatic drop earrings. Angelina Jolie is credited with sparking this trend way back in 2009, when she showed up at the Oscars in 2009 with jaw-dropping emerald drop earrings. Since then, the wearable and ultra-flattering look has been spotted on Julianne Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Annette Bening and Blake Lively.

Although statement earrings and necklaces are still popular, another celebrity jewelry trend emerging at recent awards shows is the use of traditional jewelry in untraditional ways. At the Oscars, Nicole Kidman wore a lariat diamond necklace backwards, so the diamond strand dangled down her back, while Gwyneth Paltrow attached a brooch to the waist of her shimmering dress. Necklaces were even layered over high necklines, like Amy Adams did at the Oscars and Nicole Kidman did at the SAG Awards.

Of course, no celebrity jewelry trend roundup would be complete without a peek at the fabulous diamond engagement rings sported by the Hollywood glitterati. So many celebrities have gotten engaged recently, and every one embodies a different interesting trend in diamond engagement rings. First up is Natalie Portman. 2011 is the Year of Natalie, what with her Best Actress Oscar, five movie roles, baby on the way, and now an engagement to a ballet dancer. All of that buzz is expressed simply in her classic but perfect diamond engagement ring—a round diamond surrounded by a halo of pavé stones. Like Natalie herself, the ring is delicate, beautiful and elegant, without being overpoweringly flashy. It’s the perfect choice for someone looking for a traditional style icon in a diamond engagement ring.

Fancy cut diamonds have been gaining in popularity in recent years, although the classic round stone is still the most popular certified loose diamond. Rectangular shapes, with their angular facets and subtle luster, have a vintage-style appeal and Old World elegance that makes them a popular choice for many celebrities. Reese Witherspoon sports a simple diamond engagement ring with a single Ashoka diamond—a rare and unusual cut that has a truly distinctive look.

Finally, the third celebrity diamond engagement ring is not about diamonds at all. We’re talking of course about the massive surge of interest in blue sapphires and other engagement ring worthy gemstones sparked by future princess Kate Middleton’s blue sapphire and diamond ring. You may have seen it before—it used to belong to Prince William’s mother, Diana. Now that a future princess has opted out of the diamond ring look, choosing a certified loose diamond is no longer the only choice for a fashionable bride. Diamonds can make terrific side stones in a gem-set three stone ring, as Jessica Simpson has proven with her classic ruby and diamond engagement ring.

Top Celebrity Eyewear Lines Created in 2011

CJ — Mon, 09 May 2011 20:03:08 +0000

Long gone are the days when women told each other, “Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.” And guys feel more like Superman than Clark Kent now that glasses have wandered out of nerd territory and onto the forefront of fashion. Glasses are now hip, and the more dynamic the better with bold frames becoming a fashion staple. So much so, that even those with perfect vision are wearing glasses to change up their look. And celebrities who were formerly never seen without their contacts are even launching their own lines of eyewear.

Justin Timberlake

Now that he no longer has to worry about his glasses flying off while he is doing dance moves on stage, Justin Timberlake has added eyeglasses to his William Rast line. The bold, dark frames he has been wearing everywhere from film premieres to awards shows will now be available everywhere his brand is sold.

Lisa Loeb

Lisa Loeb

Singer-songwriter, Lisa Loeb, was the Tina Fey of the 90’s. A generation of men fell in love with her while watching her “Stay” video. She proved that glasses weren’t just for librarians and that a girl didn’t have to lose her ponytail and take off her glasses to be pretty and cool. A decade later, she is still the fashion icon of glasses wearing chicks. Therefore, it makes sense that she has finally come out with her own line of eyeglasses.

Every week on American Idol, Randy Jackson coordinates his eyewear to match his outfits and manages to make those fools who got Lasik mourn the missed opportunity to accessorize. They’re as much a part of his look as using the word “Dawg!” is a part of his judging.

Olsen Twins

Mary-Kate and Ashley

The Olsen twins have added eyewear to their Elizabeth and James line, giving you a chance to recreate a little of the bohemian-style that has kept them in the Style section for the last five years. They have 13 different chic and bold eyewear styles available to choose from.

January Jones

January Jones

When Versace declared January Jones their new blond, it was easy to assume that was limited to their red carpet couture, but she has inspired a new collection of Versace eyeglasses called January J. The frames are fire engine red and black, recreating the experience of riding in a 1960’s convertible with the top down.

We look to celebrities for fashion inspiration, and that doesn’t have to be limited to shoes and clothes. The first thing people notice about you is your eyes, and the more on trend they are, the more fashionable you will be.

Top Seinfeld Birthday Moments

CJ — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:31:58 +0000

Stand up comedian and legendary television producer, creator, writer and actor Jerry Seinfeld celebrates his 57th birthday on Friday April 29th. There is no word yet on exactly how Seinfeld will celebrate the auspicious occasion, but it will likely include his wife Jessica and their 3 young children. With all of his millions of dollars, he will no doubt do something extravagant like renting out the Statue of Liberty for a party or flying all of his friends and family to the Bahamas for a bash on the beach. That is just the kind of thing that you do when you have more money than you know what to do with. Right?

Inadvertent Funny – Episode 56, “The Visa”

All of this talk about Jerry’s upcoming birthday plans has got me thinking about Seinfeld and all of the show’s legendary moments. I am a huge Seinfeld fan and can probably quote most of the episodes by heart. Some of my favorite moments on the show have surrounded birthdays. Despite the show’s long run, there wasn’t a whole lot done on the subject of birthdays. This is likely due to the fact that the whole premise of the show is ‘nothingness’. But when Seinfeld did showcase something related to a birthday party, it was epic.

Here are my favorite Birthday Moments from Seinfeld:

#1-Jerry’s Birthday Comedy Sketch

The all-time best Seinfeld birthday moment did not actually occur in the plot of the show itself, but instead, it occurred during Jerry’s monologue in the opening credits of episode #84, The Fire. Jerry’s monologue was a comparison of an individual’s first birthday party and their last birthday party in which he said:

“The first birthday party you have and the last birthday party you have are actually quite similar. You know, you just kinda sit there. You’re the least excited person at the party. You don’t even really realize that there is a party. You don’t know what’s goin’ on. Both birthday parties’ people have to kinda help you blow out the candles–you can’t do it…you don’t even know why you’re doing it. What is this ritual? What is going on? It’s also the only two birthday parties where other people have to gather your friends together for you. Sometimes they’re not even your friends. They make the judgment. They bring ‘em in, they sit ‘em down, and they tell you, ‘these are your friends!’ Tell them, ‘thank you for coming to my birthday party.”

So funny because it is so true.

#2-Elaine Scolding Jerry for Giving Her Cash

The interactions between Jerry and Elaine are legendary. They like each other, then they are just friends. They might be yelling at each other one moment, then they are best friends again by the end of an episode. Who can really keep track? It’s safe to say that all of the up and down affection and squabbling between Jerry and Elaine led to the some of the most interesting moments that would serve to define their characters throughout the series.

One such defining moment occurred in the season 2 episode, The Deal. After hatching and implementing a seemingly simple plan to finally solve the age old problems that arise with being “friends with benefits,” Jerry is having a difficult time picking out the perfect birthday gift for Elaine. As is often the case in the world of Seinfeld, there are no simple solutions to life’s problems, and even picking out a birthday gift for Elaine is not immune. After much fretting over the meanings and connotations of different gifts, not wanting to give Elaine the impression that he’s too enamored with her Jerry finally decides on a pile of cash with a zippy card. Jerry was pleased with his gift idea, but Elaine clearly was not. Elaine exclaimed “Cash? You got me cash? Who are you my uncle?” It would seem that even with ground rules, being friends with benefits carries a complicated, heavy burden.

#3-Elaine Hates Cake

In the season 9 gem, The Frogger, another funny birthday moment occurs because Elaine is fed up with all of the frivolous birthday celebrations going on at J. Peterman. During one particular celebration, she insists that she doesn’t want cake and that she is sick of celebrating every little event that goes on at the office with cake. Then, when a coworker insists having cake is, “Nice,” Elaine blows up, and in one of her better tirades she exclaims, “What? What is nice? Trying to fill the void in your life with flour and sugar and egg and vanilla? I mean, we are all unhappy. Do we have to be fat, too? ”

Then, she glances at the severely overweight women in the corner who suddenly looks very sheepish and in an effort to smooth things over she says, “Not you Becky, I know you have a slow metabolism.”

Oh, you gotta love Elaine.

#4- -George’s Fire Freak-out

One can never expect too much from George Costanza. He is self-centered, slow-witted, stocky and unemployed most of the time, but he does have many good moments when it comes to being absolutely hysterical. Case in point: Season 5, episode 84, The Fire. George goes to his girlfriend Robin’s son’s birthday party. When the burgers cooking in the kitchen catch fire, George smells smoke, panics like a child and runs from the room screaming and pushing all of the women, children and elderly guests out of the way so that he can get to the door first.

Outside the apartment, he’s confronted by the mob of guests and an angry clown with a large shoe. In typical George fashion, he tries to spin his cowardice into the positive traits of a heroic leader:

“Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing, what looked like knocking down, was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground; am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?”

Classic Costanza, classic!

#5 — Inadvertent Funny

In episode 56, The Visa, George is complaining about Jerry out-funny-ing him in front of his date. Jerry insists that he can turn the funny on and off and Elaine tells him he can’t. So when George’s date comes back and mentions that it is her aunt’s birthday Jerry tries his best and melancholy musing on the futility of birthdays and the false hope they bring leading to one of the funniest dead-pan birthday quotes of all time:

“Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we’ve grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it’s not to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.”

The perfect delivery, underplayed and masterful!

Happy Birthday Jerry Seinfeld and thanks for all the laughs–intentional or otherwise!

How Kate Middleton Stays in Shape

CJ — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 00:14:07 +0000

Image by liam_davies via Flickr

With the royal wedding approaching, Kate Middleton and Prince William have been the topic of conversation all across the Internet and the media. Every bride feels some sort of pressure to get into tip top shape when wedding time comes, but when the wedding is between a prince and a princess – well you can imagine the added pressures to look your best.

So what exactly does Kate Middleton do to stay in shape? Well, besides the fact that she will be kept in tip top shape from running from the paparazzi (something that like Princess Diana, she will always have to endure), apparently Kate Middleton does a whole lot. Who knew being a princess called for so much exercise? I can hardly imagine the princesses of the middle ages running stairs in the castles to stay in shape, but then again, there was no mass media in those days so there wouldn’t be a need to.

In 2007, Kate seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and people were very concerned. Then the word of her break up with the prince came out, and she lost even more weight. Like many people out there, the stress from the media and the break-up had made her lose her appetite. She would however bounce back, and she now keeps thin the healthy way – through diet and exercise. Something that doesn’t seem too hard for her.

Kate is apparently one of those people where being and staying healthy comes very natural. And even though she was an averaged size woman in the early 2000′s, she has been able to stay so thin lately because eating healthy foods is a part of her and she is always finding time to go to the gym to work out. And she does so for usually at least a full hour. She even had her own gym built for her by Prince William so that she didn’t have to worry about being photographed every single time she went out to the gym. When she did go out to the gym however, she usually cycled her way there, making her trips to the gym doubly effective. How nice would it be to have your own private gym!

Kate also enjoys doing yoga – something that requires a lot of dedication to holding positions and is good for overall flexibility and muscle strength. She is a very sporty person, and has been the captain of her hockey team in college – a sport that requires a lot of athletic ability, and has been in charity boat races. She is your natural athletic sporty girl, and she takes it upon herself to stay in great shape – not needing to refrain from eating during the day like some models do.

A while ago Kate was photographed on the beach and on a boat with Prince William and the tabloid press had a field day as she was seen in her bikini both times. This was also proof that she has a fantastically fit and healthy body. She looked athletic and lean, with a healthy balance of muscle and fat.

Cover of DUKAN DIET

It is reported that Kate and Prince William will try to start a family right away, and will then have to start raising small souls while the press keeps tabs on them. Staying in shape while having kids can definitely be tough, but for someone who eats healthy naturally, and genuinely likes to exercise, it should not be that hard of a feat. Apparently Kate’s mother, is the one who takes extreme dieting more seriously, as it was her Dukan Diet that actually caused wedding speculation in the first place. She had lost 4 lbs in 4 days and the rumors started to fill the airwaves immediately.

Kate is pretty good at keeping her life as secretive at it can possibly be, especially for being engaged to a Prince. And with all the hype surrounding her wedding, keeping her life as well secretly kept as she does is a is a truly amzing feat – something that most people that are constantly in the eyes of the media just can’t do. There is one thing that is for sure though and that is when it comes to healthy eating and exercising – Kate Middleton is a natural! Something that we can all learn from.
