If they weren’t drinking, they re-energized with Java Monster, the new coffee flavored drink from Monster Energy Drink, which has the caffeine of regular coffee but twice the buzz, or replenished with Hint Water and took home some True Lemon powder mix that can be added to water to make lemonade or used for teas and other delicious recipes requiring a fresh lemon taste.

What’s Ahead in 2008?
Want to know if this is your year? With the StarLines Astrological Calendar, you can plan out 2008 in three critical areas of your life that includes Love and Romance, Career and Money, and Health and Well-Being. Until you can get your own reading, Starlines professional astrologer Amy West has given us a reading of what’s to come for 12 of our favorite celebrities.
Jennifer Garner – DOB 4/17/1972 (Aries: Mar. 21 – Apr. 19)
2008 focuses on nurturing child and own inner child. Jennifer loves to stir things up, to find what it’s made of whether it’s her love relationships,friendships or assets. Who’s in charge requires a balance of what’s nebulous and what’s real. The absolute truth that nothing real can ever be threatened is driven home. This is a year of walking away with no regrets and bringing more joy into the simple day-to-day. Energy is driven to transform diet for clearing toxins and surprisingly to Jennifer her intuition is enhanced. One transforms the other. A gift from spirit is received between the end of January and early February turning an ideal into reality, feeling truly heaven sent. There are aspects of the ‘significant other’ that cannot be fully known. 2008 is the time for Jennifer to enjoy the mystery of life and to see it as a plus for engagement and enchantment.
Tori Spelling – DOB 5/16/1973 (Taurus: Apr. 20 – May 20)
The focus for 2008 is manifesting desires into form and utilizing energy cycles. There is an assuredness that delivers. The key for Tori is to capitalize on how the Moon affects her energy and to get into her timing. Being in her timing insures that no one can push her buttons. This is a year of great love for Tori including love for self, the initiating energy for awakening the true self. There is a call for fresh starts and possibly the pitter patter of new little feet. When it comes to Tori’s wishes and they may be many, any apparent block is of no consequence. Driven and direct she is in the position to make it happen. Resources are unlimited, in truth. The ‘significant other’ relationship is infused with love and passion. Life has a poetic quality and Tori dances through in rhythm and rhyme finding a depth and a height to satisfaction of the legendary kind.
Alanis Morissette – DOB 6/1/1973 (Gemini: May 21 – Jun 21)
The seed was already planted and in 2008 the seed sprouts, grows and comes into fruition. An idea comes in that is brilliant, powerful, prosperous and life transforming. Big, big, big changes come in and like the phoenix Alanis comes through the fire transformed. 2008 is a milestone year, one that Alanis will look back on and feel the excitement. The key is for Alanis to always, always, always be honest with herself and that is the catalyst. The love of Alanis has substance, value and at essence no superficiality. Males are a big part of the energy and the luck. With greater reward a greater risk is part of the deal. The happening place is the 9th house of vision, philosophy and higher mind. Comfort and emotions are balanced through achievement, utilizing resources and writing one’s own ticket. Gemini… they make us feel like a kid again!

Celebrities Win at Emmy Suites
At the Sonya Dakar Beauty Boot Camp & Gifting Lounge, celebrities received signature treatments by the skincare maven, eyelash extensions, lash applications, hair styling, manicures and pedicures, and so much more.
America’s favorite Idol judge, Paula Abdul, just couldn’t get enough of the suite. She fell in love with her lash application by Ja’Maal Buster of Fab’Lous Lashes and the Sonya Dakar UltraLuxe Facial, that she scheduled another appointment for both right before the Emmy’s. Of course, Paula did a little shopping while she was there, picking up a matching python clutch and belt with an interchangeable rhinestone clip from Cecelia Accessories. Most of all, she’s looking forward to taking her 5-star Caribbean Escapes Belize trip, which comes complete with a spa package.
Cast members from the hit Broadway musical Wicked stopped by the SunStyle LA sunless tanning booth for a full body contouring sunless airbrush tan and took home cases of ICIO, a breath freshening water for the rest of the cast.
It was no accident that Emmy winner Jaime Pressly looked radiant as she gave her victory speech. She has Sonya Dakar to thank for her glowing skin. Jaime’s pre-Emmy skincare treatment included the Sonya Dakar UltraLuxe Facial, Red Light Collagen Therapy, and Oxygen Treatment.
The gorgeous Rebecca Gayheart aka Mrs. McSteamy, Charlie Sheen’s fiancé Brooke Mueller, and Big Shot’s Jessica Collins each took home a metallic shift dress from ABS by Allen Schwartz.
While the stars visited the annual suite, they signed the Sonya Dakar Pink Jet Set Travel Kit that includes must-have Facial Fitness basics for perfect skin, which will be auctioned off for October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to support the efforts of CancerCare.
The Madison & Mulholland suite at the swanky Sofitel Hotel was the only gifting event to be completely interactive. Celebrities such as Scott Baio of 45 and Single proudly knitted for charity who knew Scott could knit? He also experienced the Magnolia Audio/Video media room, which featured the Pioneer Elite 2008 Flat Screen TV and $20,000 Martin Logan speakers.
