(ARA) – Are the stars really so different from the rest of us? Well, let's see – you probably don't have a personal assistant to fetch your morning latte or a multi-million dollar mansion to come home to after you return from a red carpet premiere, but like your favorite stars, you want to look and feel your best. After all, the quest for a healthy lifestyle is something most everyone can identify with.
From the latest diet and workout regimens to the hottest products, celebrities are at the cutting edge of today's health and wellness movement. And sometimes technology makes staying healthy a little easier – and more enjoyable. The good news is, while you may not be able to employ a personal chef, you can own many of the products that the stars count on to help simplify and enhance their homes and their lifestyles.

Here are some of the gadgets the stars swear by to keep their Hollywood looks. They range from the routine to the unexpected.

* A sparkling white smile can help you look and feel like a movie star. While many celebrities opt for expensive cosmetic dentistry, there's a simpler, healthier and more inexpensive avenue to a beautiful smile and good oral health - a power toothbrush. For example, the Sonicare Elite power toothbrush incorporates advanced sonic technology to deliver the best oral health and hygiene results. Plus, its built-in timer encourages the celebrity in you to brush all areas of the mouth for two full minutes, as dental professionals recommend.

* Known for being jet-setters, celebrities have to travel around the globe to film their blockbusters. Portable and feature-packed, Philips' ShoqBox is the “must-have” travel companion. Users can listen to their favorite tunes en route to their destination via the 256 MB MP3 player that stores 60 MP3 tracks. For the ultimate listening flexibility at the beach or pool, the ShoqBox features an FM radio and the ability to link to your other MP3 players via the line-in connection.

* Get ready for your close-up with Norelco razors for men and women. The Cool Skin 7000 series for men is the first electric razor to shave as close as a blade when used with the built-in NIVEA for Men lotion. Unique Glide Rings distribute the shaving lotion evenly over the face for a revitalizing shave, in or out of the shower. Women can turn to Norelco's Moi for Me, a razor that acts like a blade but protects like an electric. Since it's cordless and waterproof, you can use it to shave either wet or dry.

* Despite your efforts to stay fit and healthy, emergencies do happen. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, a HeartStart Home Defibrillator can help save the life of friends and family. Nearly 80 percent of all sudden cardiac arrests occur at home, and the majority of victims have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease.

*Finally, you can resort to the oldest trick in the book – flattering lighting. Celebrity makeup artists know that great lighting can make a huge difference in how their clients look. You can get great lighting at home simply by changing your light bulbs. Philips' Natural Light Vanity Globe is the perfect tool for creating crisp, white light that more closely resembles daylight – perfect for applying makeup or shaving. The light bulbs are designed to enhance true colors and allow you to see details more clearly.
