Movie Inspired Low Calorie Cocktails

I like to host get-togethers and entertain my friends.  We’re not always in the mood for a dinner party and witty conversation, though.  Sometimes we just want to watch a movie and make snarky comments.  Sorta MST3K style.  Here are some fabulous low calorie cocktails that are inspired by some of the most popular actresses.  Check out the low calorie cocktails inspired by movies, too.
