Entourage and what my life would be as a movie star

Entourage” depicts the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle of Vincent Chase, a sexy young movie star whose career is just taking off,  and his entourage. Vince and the boys have Los Angeles at their fingertips, and they frequently endulge in all the the spoils that come with celebrity. Their life is hard work and ultimate play! 

If my life were anything like Vincents , this is how it would play out. I would be a movie star, which was always my dream until a teacher ruined it for me ( thats a whole different story).  The one thing I would totally avoid is paparazzi, I would never want people knowing my personal stuff.  I think I wouldn’t be as much a partier though, i’d be more about family.  I’m not sure who would be part of mu Entourage. I haven’t really had a lot of good friends for a while. I would have a big house on the beach, and a maid. thats my dream if I were a celebrity.

Watch “Entourage” five nights a week!  Check your local listings here:  http://www.entourageweeknights.com/

 Disclosure:  “I have been hired by Warner Bros WBWord division to raise awareness for ‘Entourage.'”

In a sensational battle of the bands, with Camp Rock’s future at stake, will Camp Star’s flashy production and over-the-top antics win out, or will camp rockers prove that talent, teamwork, and spirit are what truly matter?

Bonus features:  Rock Along

**** I still haven’t decided if I like this movie better than the first.  I do love the music and dances in this movie though, they are the best part.  My daughter had been waiting so long to see this, and she absolutely loved it. Her favorite part was when Nate sang a heart-felt song at a fast pace to the girl he likes.  I didn’t like how they made Tess look in this movie. I mean she is still snotty and rude, just like the first movie. The red lipstick she has to wear makes her look weird. Overall the movie was upbeat and very enjoying.

Release date: September 7, 201o

Running time: 97 minutes

My rating:8

**** This movie is he best out of all three I think. My family and I were able to see the movie at a early screening, but it looks a lot better on dvd. My kids enjoyed it and talked about the movie all day after we watched it.  My favorite part of the movie is when Tinker Bell gets fed up with the girls father not believeing his daughter and explodes at him with anger.  My children and I really loved the movie, but my husband who is a scientist, says that they are making science look bad.

Retail: $39.99 for blu-ray combo, but on Amazon for $21.99

Release date: September 21, 2010

Running time:TBD, DVD says 77 mins.

Back to school wearing your backpack correctly

With school back in session, kids are finding that perfect backpack. Disney characters, super heros and more, but the important thing is making sure your child is wearing their backpack the right way.

Here are some tips from Dr. Andrew Casden, associate director of Beth Israel’s Spine Institute.

  • Reduce the weight in the pack – weight should not exceed 20% of the child’s body weight.
  • Bend at the knees, not at the waist when lifting heavy packs.
  • Wear the backpack over both shoulders, not slung over only one.
  • Place heavy items in the back of the pack.
  • Consider a pack on wheels that can be dragged rather than carried.

Back pain in children is rarely serious, but should not be ignored either.  If children complain of persistent pain, you should consult a physician to rule out any medical problems.

9/19-9/25 National Singles Week

9/19 Wife iappreciation day

9/24 Love Note Day

 

*****When my husband came home, I showed him the flowers I received, and his first reaction was I am suppose to go give you flowers not the other way around! He finally accepted the gesture. These Flowers are gorgeous, and smelled great, unfortunately they started to wilt quickly. There are so many gifts to choose for your mate though, cakes, chocolates, rose petals.

According to Chase’s Calendar of Events, “Pleasure Your Mate Month” is an annual holiday during the month of September to promote love and appreciation between mates.  It is the perfect time to think about the one you love most and what they mean to you. Remember to celebrate them on a regular basis to find new ways to bring happiness together.
