Hollywood A-Lister’s Still Need a Little Help from Their Neighborhood Cosmetic Dentists

With so much film, media, and magazine exposure these days, Hollywood celebrities are zero-ing in on making every aspect of their physical exterior an image of perfection. Their smiles are certainly no exception!

Advances in technology over the past years have allowed dentists to create flawless grins for people, while still looking and feeling natural. These celebrity smiles can range from a few thousand dollars for a minor adjustment, to the extreme makeover cases of $50,000 or more for their toothy treasures.

And while some celebrities use their signature snaggle-teeth to their advantage, in most cases their new cosmetic dental work is a vast improvement as they jolt into super stardom. Here are a few examples of some celebrities that had smile makeovers:

 

(1) Elliot Yamin

Smile Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers

This past American Idol contestant was once known for two things. An amazing voice, and terrible teeth. Now, with the help of cosmetic dentistry and over $50,000 in porcelain veneers, his career has soared into an oblivion of success. Now, when we see him in his videos and performances, his fabulous voice is accompanied by a celebrity smile.

(2) Miley Cyrus

Smile Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers

This “Hannah Montana” superstar is idolized by kids and their parents alike. She is considered the next generation of media moguls that is taking our world by storm. Once she began gaining popularity in her show and concerts, she opted to make the switch to a more sightly smile. She is believed to have gotten veneers and a surgery to elongate the teeth and fix the “gummy smile” look.

(3) George Clooney

Smile Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers, Crowns, and Crown Lengthening

This self-proclaimed lifelong bachelor once made a joke about getting surgery done on his eyes to make him look younger. It seems like his teeth were a more immediate concern for both aesthetic and physical reasons. As quoted by Dr. Abenaim (starmagazine.com), he believes that Clooney was a tooth grinder which was one cause for the actor to seek a cosmetic change. Aside from the veneers, the Dr. also suggests that Clooney had crown lengthening surgery, a surgical procedure done that brings the gumline up to expose more teeth. This work is estimated at anywhere from $30,000-35,000. Now we love you even more Georgie!

(4) Keith Urban

Smile Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers

Before his days of super stardom and being the arm candy for gorgeous wife Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban’s teeth were far from perfect. Doctor’s believe that Urban had porcelain veneers placed over his choppers to create a far more pleasing effect. He had what dentist’s refer to a diastema, or large space between his teeth. While the veneers have improved his look, his dentist did a good job creating a natural look and left a little signature gap in the front.

(5) Katherine Heigl

Smile Makeover Method: Invisalign®

When it came to looking beautiful for her on screen wedding in 27 Dresses, Katherine Heigl didn’t need to do much. For her own wedding, Heigl complained that she did not want to wed with crooked teeth. She decided to opt for Invisalign, a series of clear, removable aligners that are used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. As of April 2008, 730,000 patients have completed, or are currently in Invisalign treatment.

In recent years dieting becomes very popular in Hollywood. There are saying that you will become rich if you can think of an original idea or transform an old idea about dieting. Of course this is provided that you can have a good marketing plan as well. In fact, there is probably no other place on Earth where diets and any other idea that could keep a body slim are so venerated as in Hollywood.

A lot of people in Hollywood are employing personal trainers in order to keep their body shape perfect. They are also trying various dieting plans. This is because they think that keeping a perfect body shape can help them to get some good jobs!

In fact, most people will be curious about the secrets of the Hollywood stars on dieting. It is believed by many people that there are something different for the dieting plans of the stars. The difference will make them always look good and perfect. However, the fact is that there is no trick in the dieting plans of the stars. As a human being, they are just like us. They have to try various dieting plan in order to seek for the most suitable one. As a matter of fact different people will probably need a slight different diet because everyone is unique physically.

As a matter of fact, the only secret of the diet of the stars is probably that they are able to follow the latest trends. However, the latest trends do not mean they will be the most efficient. Of course in some cases the stars will hire some experts on the matter to make the decisions for that. Other than that there is no secret for the diet of the stars.

We have to understand that the stars are also human beings. They will encounter the same problem as we do. You should find it hard to stick to a diet right? This is also true for the stars. Yet they may have a bit more determination than you because it will directly affect their careers.

As a result, you will expect that the stars will work harder in order to keep their body shapes perfect. However, the truth is that they are not experts in the field of dieting and they are also relying on the advices of the experts. So, if you have the same determinations as the stars and get the same sort of experts, you will also be able to keep your body shape perfect.

The country was in deep economic trouble in the 1930’s but this was the Golden Age of Hollywood. So how did Hollywood keep booming when almost everything else fell apart?

Celebrities always look fabulous. Whether appearing in television or films or strutting down the red carpet during movie premiers and awards, they never cease to fascinate us with their larger than life presence. The truth is, it takes a lot of effort to look the way they do, and being the public figures that they are, they cannot afford to slack off when it comes to taking care of their physical appearances. Their livelihood largely depends on how they look. Aside from the clothes, the hair and the makeup, celebrities have to take good care of their bodies.

So it is no surprise that these stars have their own secrets when it comes to staying fit and gorgeous. Their health agenda can range from extreme workouts to well-planned meals. Who doesn’t want to know their secrets in staying absolutely sexy? Here are some of the diet secrets of seven women celebrities.

1. Jennifer Aniston

The star of the phenomenal television show Friends not only mesmerized audiences with her adorable comic sense and her famous hairstyle, she was also known for having one of the sexiest bodies in Hollywood, as she appeared in countless magazine covers. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the 40:30:30 diet method. The diet consists of:

40% Low glycemic carbohydrates -Foods such as beans, fruits and vegetables, legumes

30% lean proteins -Tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and low fat dairy products

30% essential fats -nuts and seeds, fish and olive oils

It is essential that every meal should contain macronutrients to attain the balance of hormones and maximum weight loss.

2. Kate Hudson

The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained the envy of many in Hollywood.

3. Oprah Winfrey

As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of audiences. Known as one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight gain, she has recently toned up her figure and has never looked figure in age 50 by combining a regular exercise regime and diet plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the threadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are lowfat. She limits her consumption of white sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit of not eating anything after seven in the evening.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow

A lot of people may find it hard to believe that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah’s, avoiding sugar and white flour. She usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated dairy from her diet, and does yoga everyday.

5. Madonna

The pop star known as the Material Girl has always flaunted a body that is to die for, and has become a true fitness paragon over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top shape by having Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.

6. Claudia Schiffer

The bodacious German supermodel eats salad and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea.

7. Christie Brinkley

Long-time supermodel maintains her all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep junk foods of any kind inside her home to make sure that she does not eat them when cravings occur. She snacks on sweet potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice diet when she needs to slim down fast.

Celebrities are just like ordinary people. They need to maintain their figures just like anyone else, and there is more pressure on their part since they are constantly in the public eye. Ordinary folks can have celebrity-like bodies, too, and by following these diet and fitness plans, they can also look like red-carpet worthy.

DMA/Donna Michelle Anderson asked:


A short while ago, I was invited to speak at a casting event. I replied with an enthusiastic yes (I love a good workshop, panel, parking lot…anywhere I can talk passionately about the biz)! I immediately sent the organizer my current bio, with links to more information and pictures online. The organizer was very surprised by my speed/efficiency and sent a nice thank you.

That SAME DAY, I was helping a friend of mine put together materials for an upcoming production. We requested a bio from one of the participants three times, and it finally arrived a few days later, with typos. At that moment I thought, “Sometimes Hollywood hopefuls are so focused on what they hope employers are going to give them, they aren’t prepared with what they’re supposed to give US.” So here are the five marketing materials, at minimum, you need to always have on hand to advance as a professional in show business.

AN UPDATED RESUME

Nothing is more important than a résumé that accurately reflects, at least:

*Your job titles;

*The project name;

*Your employer;

*Any production partners (e.g., choreographer, production company, director, etc.);

*Your dates of employment.

For example (all fake!):

- Principal Dancer | THE NUTCRACKER | Lompoc Ballet | Chor: Justin | 12/2006

- Background Dancer | LOVE MY BABY (Baby Tee) | Paramount Music | Chor: Jayn J | 10/2006

This really is just a credit list, so employers can instantly see not just what you have done, but FOR WHOM. Those names are the ones that will get you hired more often than your titles! If I know someone on that list, and I call them, and they rave about you, my job hunt is over.

Also include degrees, professional affiliations and awards.

Let’s talk about the format for your credit list:

*It must be ONE PAGE ONLY;

*It must include, at least, your legal name, professional name (if different), mailing address (not home! City, ST only if you don’t have a separate address), contact number, e-mail address and Web site (if any);

*All names must, must, must be spelled correctly (check online - these could be established shows or friends of your potential employer);

*Create your list in a table (in Word, that’s Table/Create Table) with columns (skip tabs and spaces!) so you can easily line up columns, update and move things around;

*Stick to one format for each credit and make it uniform throughout the rez (e.g., if project names are in caps once, they should be in caps always);

*Include your name, professional title and year in the title of the document. That way, when you e-mail it to a potential employer, they can save the file and always know what and whose it is. So you might call it: “Rez_LeeBryant_Producer_2007.doc”

Organize one credit list by job title and another by date (most current down).

You might end up needing a more extensive rez that includes job descriptions for some submissions. But your current credit list is an absolute must for all job submissions - update it on the last day of every job.

A CURRENT BIO

A bio is not a two- or three-page brag sheet. It is a one- to five-paragraph summary of what you have done and why it makes you stand out from your peers (check out my bio for an example. Don’t re-list every job from your rez here. Summarize and sell. So your five directing credits might be presented as: “Over the past five years, Corrinne has directed several acclaimed regional and off-Broadway productions, including the Lucent Award-winning production of MacBeth at New York’s Ventana Theatre.” (Yes, I made all of those names up.)

If you are kind of weak in the spelling and grammar area, please send your bio to someone who is excellent at it. No typos. No grammatical errors. No syntax errors. Let it put your best foot forward for you!

Celebrate each new professional milestone by immediately updating your bio. That should be the final thing you do to signal the end of a gig. A call could come the next day, and you’ll be ready with current info.

A CURRENT PHOTO

Even if you are not a performer, on many occasions, you will be asked to submit a photo with your written marketing materials for promotion, including Web sites, brochures, event programs, etc. You should have a current, accurate photo in both 8×10 print format and a small, digital file (say, 100px x 150px, 72 dpi, JPEG).

A CURRENT E-MAIL ADDRESS

Hey, we work in entertainment; we’re expected to move around the world! Addresses and phone numbers change, but make sure you have an e-mail at a free service you know will be around for a while (Yahoo!, G-Mail, etc.), and use that as your permanent address (don’t rely on your current DSL or cable address; buyouts happen too often). If someone tries to reach you three years down the road off of a submission, know that they can at least find you there. If you don’t have a computer, go to the library and get online for an e-mail account. It is not an option to NOT have one.

A WEB SITE

In 2007, Web presence is REQUIRED! Having a Web site markets you 24/7. They don’t cost a fortune, and they are worth every dime you spend, especially if you are selling your services. At the very least, MySpace and other social networking sites* are free, or you can create a blog on sites like mine at Google’s Blogger for FREE. You want to expand your visibility in the industry? Get yourself onto the Internet.

*If you currently use MySpace as a social network, please create a second page that’s a professional site ONLY, with your pictures, video, music, credits, what-have-you. You are using this site as a selling tool; keep it clean and simple to navigate.

A CELL PHONE NUMBER

I know you have one. Please remember to turn it on, carry it with you, check it regularly, and keep the message box clear so you can get messages about jobs, interviews, casting, go-sees, auditions, rehearsals and bookings. Also, take the pop songs off of your message, please, and let people get straight to hiring you! “Hi, you’ve reached Darwin Smith, please leave a message. Thank you.” Done.

Okay, that’s the minimum list. Add to that a current reel, a portfolio, spec scripts, references and more to show people who can advance your career that you are ready, able and worth every possibility they can present.

My family and I are moving to southern California later this year. My main goal is to be a successful actor, and I am ready to go out on auditions and try to get an agent. My family is going through some financial troubles and we need to find a town/city that has low renting prices, good schools, and is safe. It needs to be close enough to Hollywood for me to go out and do the acting thing also. I looked at Sherman Oaks and Studio City, but the crime rate is too high. Thanks guys!
