Jul 3rd, 2011 at 7:00AM: Celebrity Cruises new 2,886-guest Celebrity Silhouette will debut soon with all the bells and whistles of her previous 122,000 ton Solstice-class sister-ships. Look for iPad art tours, a "trendsetting onboard experience" and larger than normal staterooms. Sailing from New York, a whole lot of New Yorkers and tri-state area residents will be on board, starting their vacation without taking a ...On Celebrity Cruises X marks a change to on board experiences
Feb 16th, 2011 at 7:00AM: Cruise lines continue to hack away at what we think of them. Pretty much burried are images of shuffleboard, bingo, and "just old folks" on the ships. Now, they are moving forward with intense new branding efforts that are making for clear choices between lines.
It wasn't all that long ago that if your answer to "Where did you go on vacation?" was "on a cruise" that similar images, impressions ...Tennis legend Martina Navratilova to climb Kilimanjaro
Dec 6th, 2010 at 8:00AM: 54-year old tennis legend Martina Navratilova is in Tanzania this week where she'll be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa at 19,340 feet. She is making the climb to raise funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting sportsmanship and a code of conduct in athletics, around the world.

Nov 11th, 2010 at 9:00AM: OK, so how creepy is it for a grown man to follow Paris Hilton? Because I do, like, on Twitter.
I'm not ashamed--on the contrary--I love Paris and will always defend her, because that's what BFF's do for each other. For the record, I'm no follower-come-lately. I've been with @ParisHilton back to the time when she was barely hovering around one million followers. Since then, we've gone through ...Paris Hilton hopes to open her own hotels
Aug 18th, 2010 at 12:00PM: Seems the partying ways of Miss Paris Hilton might be coming to an end (or just a new destination). The Hilton heiress announced she is ready to try her hand at being a hotelier.
The reality-star-turned-singer-turned-actress-turned-designer celebrity told Pop Tarts that since she's already hand her hand in most of the entertainment industry, she is ready to test out the hotel industry.

Aug 2nd, 2010 at 3:00PM: Few people think to travel to Bermuda but those who do find a charm unknown on many more popular islands. While Bermuda is technically a British overseas territory, the residents of Bermuda consider themselves very much an independent nation. Bermudians are known for their practicality, integrity and simple luxuries - they are fiercely proud of their heritage and it shows in all aspects of their ...Photo of the day (7.29.10)
Jul 29th, 2010 at 5:00PM:
Some of the best travel photos tell a story or capture a stranger in a private moment. This candid portrait of a woman in Tel Aviv, Israel reading in a window by Flavio@Flickr does both beautifully. What is she so absorbed in reading? It could be an alarming news story or a love poem, or she could just be catching up on the latest Lindsay Lohan antics. At any rate, her image tells an ...Photo of the day (7.22.10)

In addition to making awesome song parodies and being a fun celeb to follow on Twitter, Weird Al Yankovic has been a passionate polka advocate for his entire career. It's no wonder when you see how much joy this gentleman is experiencing playing the polka, captured by Flickr user Adam Baker in Krakow, Poland. More music could benefit from accordions; they're portable, fun to play, and make a ...Joan Collins excess baggage bill: $4,966 for $180,000 in luxury bags
Apr 20th, 2010 at 11:30AM: While you visit Gadling and read my rant about $45 carry-on bag fees, other air passengers are having having fun turning excess baggage into a challenge - not a complaint.
Take for example Joan Collins - Because she travels a lot between London and the United States, she says she feels "compelled to travel like a packhorse".
And she isn't kidding either - each trip involves a professional ...Stress gets to Susan Boyle at Heathrow
Jan 15th, 2010 at 5:00PM: With all the regulation shifts, evacuations and the recent terror attempt on Christmas Day, it's a stressful time to fly.

Stress affects all of us; passengers, airport staff, pilots and yes, even superstars. Perhaps it was stress that got to Britain's Got Talent prodigy ...Lindsay Lohan investigates India's child trafficking industry
Jan 11th, 2010 at 6:30PM:
So, after many differing reports on what Lindsay Lohan was doing in India (including ours, when we heard gossip that the whole thing was a liecation), the rumored BBC documentary previews, such as the above, are starting to appear.
Lohan indeed went to India in December 2009, allegedly to investigate both sides of the rampant child trafficking trade, from interviewing the parents in poverty ...
Celebrate Elvis' 75th Birthday at Graceland this week
Jan 4th, 2010 at 4:30PM: Had he lived, Elvis would be turning 75 years old on January 8. Superfans can celebrate with a week of parties hosted Graceland from January 7 to 10.
Events include a day tour of Tupelo, where Elvis grew up, book signings from authors of books on Elvis, fan club events, and panel presentations from close friends and associates of Elvis. There will be musical performances, including a gospel ...Lindsay Lohan rescues child laborers in India...or not
Dec 15th, 2009 at 4:30PM: Looks like miss Lindsay Lohan has gone on a little "liecation" recently.
The actress/singer/celebrity trainwreck posted a message on Twitter that made it sound like she personally took part in a raid that saved child laborers in India while there filming a documentary for the BBC. "Over 40 children saved so far...Within one day's work...This is what life is about...Doing THIS is a life worth ...Celebrity Cruises starts all-you-can-drink plan
Dec 3rd, 2009 at 12:30PM: Despite the advertised low rates for many cruises, I've always thought that the extra fees for alcoholic drinks would make the final price rise far above the base cost. Even for a moderate drinker - a few glasses of wine or beer with dinner, a pina colada here, a strawberry daiquiri there - the cost for a few days of booze for two people on a cruise could come out to a couple hundred dollars over ...Explore London with Sherlock Holmes
Nov 15th, 2009 at 2:30PM: In anticipation of the Christmas Day release of the new Sherlock Holmes movie (starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law), Visit Britain has developed a microsite to help guide fans to the London locations used in the film. The site also offers possible itineraries for a Holmes-themed tour of London.
The list of London stops on the Holmes tour includes St. Paul's Cathedral, ...Pablo Escobar's Hacienda popular with tourists
Nov 11th, 2009 at 1:30PM: Visiting the former home of a famous person is pretty common. Tourists flock to Elvis' Graceland and who wouldn't love a look inside the creepy world of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch? But exploring the former compound of a Colombian drug lord....well that seems a little less likely. Yet aparently Pablo Escobar's Hacienda Napoles, located outside of Bogota, Colombia, is a hit with tourists.
...Anthony Bourdain creates animated web series
Oct 31st, 2009 at 11:00AM: I'm a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain and I love No Reservations. A show that combines travel to places both exotic and familiar, pure rockstar gluttony and classic Bourdain snark - how could it go wrong? So when I heard that Bourdain was creating an animated web series for the Travel Channel (relax, it will NOT be taking the place of No Reservations) I figured it couldn't be anything less than ...

If haunted houses, ghost hunts, cemetery tours, zombie pub crawls and other usual Halloween attractions just aren't sexy enough to make your holiday complete, if you want more girls and less gore, and if you've got $1000 to drop, make plans now to attend the ...Randy Quaid (allegedly) stiffs hotel for $10K
Sep 27th, 2009 at 10:00AM:
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife, former model Evi, got out of jail Thursday night. They landed in the Texas pokey because of a $10,000 hotel bill they didn't pay in California. Each is out on $20,000 bail. They were arrested in Marfa, 160 miles southeast of El Paso.
Authorities in Santa Barbara, California issued a felony warrant – burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy ...New Zealander auctions off Paris Hilton's boarding pass
Sep 2nd, 2009 at 10:00AM: A man flying from New Zealand to Fiji on August 12th found a little surprise at his business class seat. Slipped between the pages of his in-flight magazine was the boarding pass of celebutant Paris Hilton, who had traveled to Fiji a few days prior.
Rather than toss the pass, the man decided to put it up for sale on a New Zealand auction site. Despite his claim that is "certainly has no other ...
