the cost of getting Oscar ready

The cost of being high def HOT.

penelope2.jpg OK, so we all know celebs spend a TON on looking good, but the amount they spend during Oscars increases by 1000% especially when they know the world is watching them on high definition TV.  Last year I wrote a piece about this phenomenon for Forbes.com.  Stylists like Jennifer Rade (Angelina Jolie's stylist) can make up to $7,000 a day. Zoom whitening can cost you $1,000 for one sitting and a laser facial (to make sure you GLOW) can cost up to $600. And that's just the basics!! For a custom exercise regimen at a place like Peak Performance in NYC  it can run you up to $1,000 a week for private training sessions and a customized diet by celebrity nutritionist Oz Garcia will run you close to $12,000.  Ah the joys getting gorgeous...
