Now, fashionistas of the world may take the celebrity style and incorporate the latest eyewear fashions into their own wardrobe. Celebrities are giving their customers a chance to shine and create their own celebrity image.

The Olsen Twins

Who does not love the Olsen twins? They have launched a brand new eyewear line this year to celebrate the fashionistas of the world. The line will be presented in conjunction with their Elizabeth and James label. If you have bad eyesight and do not want to have Lasik surgery or wear contacts, the Olsen Twins know how to make glasses really chic and stylish.

The Olsen’s line has more than 13 different styles and the prices are fairly reasonable. They range between $155 and $265 retail. Most of the silhouettes are modern with very clean lines. Clients that need eyewear will appreciate the new line offered by these sisters.

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake is another celebrity that has released a new line of eyewear, William Rast. This pop singer and actor is “bringin’ sexy back” to eyewear designs. Justin Timberlake has a wide array of glasses and he himself sports his own unique design. Justin is often seen wearing thick-rimmed, bold, yet sophisticated glasses in numerous celebrity photos.

He is not the only one bringin’ sexy back with glasses. Chris Brown, Johnny Depp, Demi Moore, Scarlett Johansson, Faith Hill and Joe Jonas also join him. Glasses are the new and happening thing to do these days. The new and affordable line is scheduled to release some time in 2011. The signature glasses are only $12.71.

Lisa Loeb

Lisa Loeb has been wearing glasses since she became a star. Her eyewear was always a distinguishing part of her character. In 2009, she launched Lisa Loeb Eyewear. Her designers create everything from everyday designer eyewear to Ray Ban type “Sandalwood” glasses. Her glasses make clients feel confident about wearing glasses rather than embarrassed.

From high school students to professionals in the work force, the Lisa Loeb line has glasses that will help people look good and non-nerdy. Though, nerdy is a look that many celebrities are embracing, currently. She puts a lot of thought into her designs. Now, she even offers the “Wishing Heart” frames. These frames are more playful with neat and colorful patterns. Some of these patterns include tortoise shell, turquoise, lavender and lemon ice.

Randy Jackson

Randy Jackson has changed his demographic to make eyewear more stylish and comfortable for the larger man. He partnered with Zyloware to create his new line of eyewear. Randy Jackson always sports his bold new eyewear on American Idol and does not appear nerdy while doing so. The new line is both affordable and trendy.

Whatever Happened to Laurence Llewellyn Bowen

We all remember the hit TV show ‘Changing Rooms’ which saw Laurence Llewellyn Bowen go into lucky viewers homes and completely renovate their usual deco and style. Everything from lavish, purple, velvet curtains to full on lime green bed spreads, Laurence never let up on his whacky styles and bubberling charisma.

We all remember the hit TV show ‘Changing Rooms’ which saw Laurence Llewellyn Bowen go into lucky viewers homes and completely renovate their usual deco and style. Everything from lavish, purple, velvet curtains to full on lime green bed spreads, Laurence never let up on his whacky styles and bubberling charisma.

The frilly cuffed, interior designer was born in Kensington, London in 1965 and studied Fine Art at the University of Arts London. Mr Llewellyn Bowen started his dazzling TV career in 1996, when apparently his wife Jackie who was an author heard from her agent that the BBC we’re looking for a young, talented interior designer to make a house renovation programme with. Hey presto...within a few months Laurence became the sensational TV hit we now still see on our screens today. His eccentric style both in his personal fashion and interior design, are what have made him a household name for many years now. Although Changing Rooms sadly went off the air, Laurence is still a much loved TV personality and still appears in many things all over the media.

Memorable shows saw Laurence and the Changing Rooms team turn a little old ladies front room in Manchester, into a medieval banquet hall. The lucky viewer, Rose Smith had a very boring and drab living room with brown curtains, a old grey 2 seater sofa, weird 80’s patterned carpet, lots of dusty nic-naks on the aging mantel piece and to top it off...a chair of teddy bears and dolls all stacked up in the corner! On recommendations from the Old ladies daughter who rang the show, Mr Llewellyn Bowen waved his magical hand and transformed the run down interior disaster into a beautiful, rustic, warm and much more comfortable and alluring living room. The Changing room team also installed a ceiling fan, as Rose often found it near impossible to spend a summers evenings in her own living room due to the stuffiness and humidity. However with the ultra slick ceiling fan, with turbo advance settings that the team installed, she’ll be able to relax in her new medieval paradise to her heart’s content, no matter what the weather.

People often ask the Changing Rooms team how they get the room makeovers done so uber quickly...as well as having many pairs of hands to help them whip up these heavenly room ideas, the team also use things such as dehumidifiers and portable air conditioning systems so that paint drys quicker, rooms are more aerated and wall prints have less chance of smudging or spoiling.

Why not take a leaf out of the Changing Rooms book and revitalise your home for the summer. Not only will you feel happier with your new surroundings with such tools as dehumidifiers on the market you can also save a lot of time so making simple changes to a room, as in a new coat of paint, won’t take the whole of your weekend up. Plus we can all learn something from the big man himself...go for a whacky or eccentric colour and style that you usually wouldn’t go for, because as they say a change is as good as a break!

Maria is a shameless promoter of dehumidifiers and ceiling fans, and loves all things interior design!

Real Life Peter Pans

Though not recognized as an actual disease or psychological disorder by the World Health Organization, Peter Pan Syndrome (also known as the Peter Pan complex) describes a person that fails to grow up mentally. Sufferers are typically male and demonstrate immature behaviors on a regular basis. They tend to lack the emotional maturity to handle adult situations and as a result, act out in inappropriate ways.

Causes

Real people suffer from this syndrome largely due to a sheltered or traumatic upbringing. These individuals act much younger than they are, participate in foolish or adolescent behavior and even dress too young for their age, long past their 30s and into the rest of adulthood. Parents who are overprotective could create children that grow up to have this syndrome because they never develop the tools needed to deal with life as an adult.

Symptoms

Though Peter Pan Syndrome affects men and women, it's more prevalent in men. It is characterized by a lack of personal responsibility in all areas, an inability to keep promises or commitments, narcissism and vanity and extreme self-esteem issues. Sufferers may appear cocky like a stuck up teenager, but inside, they are usually injured emotionally and doubt themselves often.

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was probably one of the most famous sufferers of Peter Pan Syndrome. He even admitted that he wanted to be like Peter Pan because he stayed young forever. Jackson grew up in the spotlight and was denied a normal childhood. In an effort to make up for this, he lived on a ranch called Neverland and acted like a kid most of the time. However, his continuous desire to be around kids (because he supposedly felt like one himself) led to speculation and allegations regarding child abuse.

Britney Spears

Another person thought to have Peter Pan Syndrome is Britney Spears. She also grew up in the public eye and didn't experience a normal childhood. Once she reached adulthood, she'd known a life only of no responsibility. Then, she had children and seemingly the world fell down around her. The infamous head shaving incident was just one in a long line of issues for the singer. With attentive care, however, as of 2011, she seems to be doing much better in terms of coping with life's challenges.

Danny Bonaduce

Danny Bonaduce was a child star on the popular TV show, The Partridge Family in the 1960's. He was the outspoken, lovable child on the show, but once he grew up, his antics were no longer so cute. Everything from drug and alcohol abuse to domestic disturbances has plagued his life since then. He has failed to take responsibility for his actions much of the time and even though he exudes a cocky attitude, he likely suffers from severely low self-confidence.

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan was also a child star—a common theme among famous Peter Pan Syndrome sufferers. She's just emerged into adulthood recently but it's generally difficult to tell considering the great number of stunts she's pulled. She's been in and out of rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. She's been arrested for DUI, gone to jail and even was accused of stealing jewelry. There's seemingly no end in sight for her hard partying and continual run-ins with the law.

All of these celebrities exhibit or exhibited clear signs of Peter Pan Syndrome. For the most part, it seems to be rooted in an abnormal upbringing that did not prepare them for the standard demands and responsibilities of life. Only they know that for sure, but one thing is for certain: this condition is not attractive and results in irresponsible, unappealing behavior fit only for children.

The Best Way to Get Celebrities to Endorse Your Product

Flipping through the pages of a supermarket glamour magazine you will find smeared across countless high-gloss pages the universally recognizable faces of stars like Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt. These celebrities endorse numerous products, and studies show that the millions of dollars paid to these stars annually to sell new and established products return an enormous profit.

So how does a small business with a great portfolio of products and services land top celebrities as sponsors while also accumulating the sales revenue to afford such representation and reap the rewards of increased sales?

Getting Inside the Consumer Brain

On the mind of the consumer, which the business community should always be focused on, Peter Drucker famously observed, “Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value.” His years of study and analysis have exposed the flaws and dependencies of business systems.

In order to deliver a product, the essential process components must be well understood and measured in order to supply exactly what the customer wants. To maintain sustainable growth and come to solid agreements with business partners, contracts are required. A contract or agreement represents the sources and constraints that link all the components of a business process into a high-functioning system.

Contract Software to Help Smooth the Process

A best practice that is followed by premier companies and those with celebrity sponsorship is the effective use of contract management software to create, manage, store, retrieve, report and execute contracts.

Contract software benefits are not about an application manufacturer, but more about what the business is willing to achieve for the investment it is about to make. A business with a strong product or service offering will require a product that will reduce errors in contract execution, approvals and litigation to near zero occurrences. The absence of these occurrences as measured in the system will proportionately reduce overhead costs.

Profiling the business and the sources of input, the contract software will measure the value of contracts from inception to completion so that potential profits and liabilities are clearly understood. Under this management model, a clearer picture related to business performance can be articulated and corrections made in order to achieve business goals.

Contract software systems supply a more a solid structure around agreement language to reduce risk. Rather than maverick language created on the fly between the business and suppliers or other parties, language in the contract application is reviewed by a legal team. As each new agreement is executed, the audited and approved paragraphs and content are reused in each new segment and with this approach a reliable mitigation strategy is executed.

Celebrities sell products, and products are built by processes and contracts managed by software that produces the right results.

Glee – The Movie

In what will surely be earth shattering news to ‘Gleeks’ everywhere, the hit Fox series ‘Glee’ will be released as a 3-D film for two weeks this summer.

‘Gleeks’ are what rabid fanatics and supporters of the show call themselves. The film is called “Glee Live! In Concert!” and will feature the cast and crew backstage as they travel around the country performing their live stage production. The 3-D film will be directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who directed ‘Fame’ and will be released on August 12.

Among the cast members scheduled to perform are Lea Michele, Amber Riley, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, Mark Salling, Naya Rivera, Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Chord Overstreet, Harry Shum, Jr., and Darren Criss. Ashley Fink and members of the Warblers are also expected to make an appearance in the 3-D ‘Glee’ film. So far it is unclear if series stars Jane Lynch, the arch nemesis of the ‘Glee’ club and Matthew Morrison, its supporter, will appear.

‘Glee’ has been a hit show for the Fox network since its debut in 2009. It tells the story of a high school glee club called ‘New Directions’ that is competing on the show choir circuit. Each episode features several musical numbers with cast members singing songs from a number of notable performers such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, Billy Joel and Madonna. The cast also re-enacted the hit cult musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” which brought them even more critical acclaim.

The show has been a hit with the teenage demographic and parents whose children perform with their high school show choir. It has spurred discussions about fitting in, peer pressure and doing what you enjoy without worrying about what other people think about you. The show has caused a resurgence of interest in show choirs and glee clubs around the country with more students than ever signing up for after school music programs, looking to expand their repertoire of songs and pursue their musical dreams.

‘Glee’ has also been a big hit with television critics. Normally very fickle about what they like and what they do not like, the critics pretty much agreed the first season of ‘Glee’ was unlike anything they had seen before and they liked it. Season two met with a slightly less enthusiastic response from critics who quickly tired of the bubble gum song choices and simple stories. They predicted a serious decline in viewers over the course of the season but so far viewership has stayed strong. In fact, it has even grown slightly a good sign they are doing something right.

There is also no denying the commercial success of the ‘Glee’ commercial albums, with songs actually performed by the cast members. They have now sold more than 21 million singles and nine million albums. There is also a ‘Glee’ karaoke game for the Nintendo Wii, DVD and Blu-Ray releases, a young adult series of books based on the show and an iPad app. The albums are released through the iTunes store the same week the show airs. The albums are released through Columbia Records.

‘Glee’ is definitely a juggernaut that just keeps making money for the producers. Whether or not this summer’s 3-D film is good is almost an after thought. As long as it exists, ‘Gleeks’ will flock to it and it will make money. At least it will this season.

Gunter Sachs Remembered

Farewell to Gunter Sachs, playboy, photographer, philanthropist and legend.

Born on the 14th November 1932 Gunter Sachs spent his early days of privilege in a Germany which was changing beyond all recognition as the Nazi party came to power. His father knew both Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goring and was an honoury member of the SS.Sadly his father shot himself in 1958 and Gunter then inherited the family fortune. Tragically in the same year that his father died he also lost his first wife, Anne-Marie Faure to a failed medical operation.

His early training was as an economist and mathematician but as he later said he never worked one day. His moved to St Tropez and assumed the life of a playboy. Although to be fair this was not a term he favoured and preferred to be called a gentleman. It was here in May of 1966 that he met Brigitte Bardot who was to become his second wife. The attraction was immediate and the next day he hired a helicopter to drop over a thousand red roses onto La Madrague, her St Tropez house. They were married in Las Vegas by a ceremony which took just eight minutes. For the honeymoon they went to Tahiti where they met Salvador Dali as well as Charles de Gaulle and Georges Pompidou. Other guests included Princess Grace of Monaco and the Shah of Iran.

Unfortunately the marriage did not last. Plagued by infidelities on both sides they divorced in 1969. His third marriage was to the Swedish model Mirja Larsson.

On Saturday 7th May 2011 Gunter Sachs shot himself in the head. He was staying at his chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland. His message was

"The loss of mental control over my life was an undignified condition, which I decided to counter decisively".

So how will we remember him this icon of the 60's? For me it will be this man who seemed to be able to transcend national boundaries and identities. In a time when our holidays were by a cold beach at Blackpool this was someone who could jet off to Tahiti and places which we could only dream about. This was a man who could write his own rules and could marry the most beautiful girl in the world. Yes there is jealousy aplenty around and maybe it is wrong that one man can inherit such wealth but in a world which was in the middle of the cold war then surely here was someone to brighten the news.

What will he be remembered for? Probably having the 13th turn of the St. Moritz Olympic bob sleigh run named after him.

Titanium Rings for William and Kate

The public obsession with William and Kate’s engagement focuses in large part on the sapphire engagement ring with its poignant history.

Some have suggested that the sapphire ring is too steeped in tragedy. Others laud William for bringing the story full circle. Public opinion has historically factored into the romantic choices of England’s rulers.

The Engagement Ring with the Highest Personal Cost

King Edward VIII gave Wallis Simpson, the love of his life, an emerald engagement ring. At almost 20 carats, the ring surely had a high price tag. However, this engagement ring also cost Edward his kingdom. Nationalist sentiment and strict mid-twentieth century mores prohibited the King of England from marrying a divorced American woman. He abdicated to marry the woman that he loved.

The Most Controversial Royal Engagement Ring

Like Edward, Prince Charles loved a woman that the public would not have accepted as his queen. Unlike Edward, he was not willing to give up his shot at the crown. Instead, he proposed to Diana Spencer and sparked a royal-wedding obsession. Of course, history revealed that their “fairytale wedding” was a short-lived fantasy, and Charles’s love for Camilla Bowles resurfaced with some decidedly unsavory publicity. Following divorces, Diana’s death and decades of shifting attitudes, Charles presented Camilla with an emerald cut diamond engagement ring with a platinum band.

The Engagement Ring that Closed the Circle

Kate Middleton’s blue sapphire engagement ring represents to the world a sentimental link to the romantic and tragic story of William’s mother, Diana. However, the ring also represents a paradigm shift in royal romance. Like Wallis and Camilla, Kate was originally seen as an unsuitable match for the future King of England. Although their relationship went through some travails, in the end, William and Kate’s love prevailed. Nobody abdicated; nobody hid in the shadows. Their engagement ring closes the circle with the true romance of love winning out over palace politics.

Some have suggested that the best representation of the way William and Kate have transcended the restrictions of royal weddings would be with titanium tension set rings, with their stones seeming to float unbound at the center of the setting. While the nature of the sapphire engagement ring most likely precludes a titanium wedding band, such a band would in fact be an apt representation of their story. Titanium is strong, yet flexible. It is non-corrosive. Titanium inlay rings would allow them to design bands that reflected their unique personalities.

In the end, however, no matter what jewelry this royal couple wears, they have changed the history of royal love. They have brought the world to a place where the opinions and controversies have little impact on their choices of jewelry or partner.

Why Celebs Need VIP Protection

Here are just a couple of reasons why having a chauffeur drive and bodyguards surrounding you are vital.

Have you always wondered why celebrities are constantly surrounded by VIP protection of the highest standard? You may not see it constantly, but there are actually a herd of loonies in this world and they are just waiting for a young, fresh celebrity to ditch the large, black SUV's and half a dozen men in suits. The celebrity may think that they are proving their down to earth nature to their fans, but they aren't - they're showing that they're stupid. Here are just a couple of reasons why having a chauffeur drive and bodyguards surrounding you are vital.

Stalkers:

"They just have a crush", I hear you saying. Wrong! They want to drink your blood, wear your skin and do strange tree dancing around a fire. Look into the cases of Rebecca Schaeffer or John Lennon. A stalker is insanely obsessed and will stop at nothing to be with you, and if you don't give love back, they'll get ya...

Kidnappers:

Once you become a celebrity, your body becomes valuable. Nobody kidnaps a bum at the local supermarket, unless they are a stalker in training, but a celebrity with a fat bank account is an excellent target. Not only can you fork over wads of cash, but the people you know are also rolling in money. With no bodyguards, a professional team of criminals will have you in the back of their van in no time at all.

Fans:

Don't underestimate this group. Crazed fans would probably consume you whole as they work up into a frenzy. They love your look, they love your scent and all they want is to lay their hands on any part of your body. Bodyguards will spend more time protecting you from fans than actual criminals. While you're putting your signature on a poster, the bodyguards behind you form a human shield and physically fight off delusional teenagers who will tear off bits of clothes and flesh just to remember the occasion.

Slimy agents:

They are lurking in every dark corner, waiting to get a piece of your pie. They'll butter you up, show you a neat 12 page contract with text too small to see with the naked eye. Once you sign, their appearance mystically changes and you immediately see the horns clearly. This wouldn’t have happened if you had just been prepared though. With VIP protection, he'll simply run into a brick wall that says: "Appointment only fool!"

Jason Acar is a Professional freelance SEO Copywriter and writes on various topics. Opting to find a service that provides a chauffeur drive while on your vacation is not only more efficient but it is also the safer way to go as every country has a different level of danger. Not only presidents and celebrities use vip protection, so if you want to secure your peace of mind this option should also be considered.
