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.

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 ...Tour Michael Jackson's hometown
Jul 21st, 2009 at 12:30PM: The Michael Jackson madness continues! When the announcement of Michael Jackson's death circulated around the globe in late June, news outlets went crazy. We watched day after day of non-stop Michael mourning on TV. CNN talked about his kids, his declining health, and the rumored cause of death. E! reminisced about the scandals that plagued him, and his decidedly eccentric behavior (baby-dangling, ...Top 5 cruise ship spas
May 31st, 2009 at 10:30AM: Being on a cruise seems luxurious enough. To add to the glam and relaxation, though, consider a spa visit. Frankly, if I were on a cruise, I'm not sure if I would need a spa--the cruise seems like it might be enough pleasure. On second thought, a person to massage my feet would be nice--a person from Thailand, perhaps.
If you are that person who wants to add the best spa experience to your trip, ...The next innovation in cruise ship entertainment - real grass
Mar 23rd, 2009 at 11:00AM: Cruise companies are amongst the most creative minds in the travel world - each time a new ship is launched, passengers are treated to amenities never seen before on a ship. In recent years we've seen outdoor movie theaters, wave pools and a massive indoor atrium. The next innovation is being introduced on the Celebrity Cruises Solstice. This 1425 room mammoth of the seas features a half acre of ...Become a world famous traveler

Gadling fave Christopher Elliott wrote "How to be a Youtube travel star," which explains how you can turn your vacation videos into internet acclaim, but there are more ways to publicize your excursions. Several websites have popped up to help travel reporters connect with sources. Yes, we need you to help us write the stories you read. By helping us, you can become a ...Lively-est brunch in Manhattan
Feb 8th, 2009 at 12:00PM: In New York, brunch is more than just a meal. For most, it's that one chance to indulge, regardless of tax bracket. You find an upscale restaurant, sip a champagne cocktail and order dishes you could never prepare on your own. Most important, you work hard to seem nonchalant, as if you live this way every day. Of course, if you're visiting the city, you also want at least one celebrity sighting. ...Celebrity Hookup Hotels
Jan 15th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Celebrities, they're just like us: they go to hotel bars to hook up. The question, of course, is which hotels, so we can watch them and take cell phone pictures. Well, MSNBC has decided to feed your obsession by publishing a list of known celeb hangouts called Busted! Hotels where celebs go to hook up. On the list? The Soho Grand (right) The Beverly Hills Hotel The Palms Casino Resort and more. ...Galley Gossip: Rock of Love - on the airplane!
Jan 8th, 2009 at 12:30PM: "When he walked aboard the flight the first thing I saw were the boots, and then the cool jeans and long blond hair. He didn't wear any makeup and his skin was clear and soft, a beautiful complexion. Then I noticed the bluest eyes I've ever seen. We were flying from Orlando to Los Angeles, I think," said my mother, who is also a flight attendant for the same U.S airline that I work for.

Sep 13th, 2008 at 10:30AM: Let's say you've arrived at LAX airport and you happen to look, kind of, like Jamie Lynne Spears, and it--kind of, looks like you are carrying a baby. From this LA Times article's account, you'd be surrounded by some paparazzi in a wild flurry as they snapped your picture hoping to sell it to TMZ, Perez Hilton, or some other celeb loving publication.
That's what happened Wednesday night when ...Gwyneth Paltrow's Spain travel show to hit PBS in September

Aug 24th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Gwyneth Paltrow, celebrity chef Mario Batali, food book author and New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman, and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols (who *gasp*doesn't have a Wikipedia page!) will star in a show called "Spain...On The Road Again", documenting their travels across Spain. I like all these celebrities but would watch it just for Paltrow, who by the way sounds like she speaks fluent ...Latino heartthrob kicked off Delta flight
Jul 16th, 2008 at 11:00AM: You'd think famous people can get away with a bit of attitude, not on a Delta flight though. 18-year old Latino music heart throb Carlos Olivero recently got kicked off a Delta flight in Atlanta for not stowing his iPod. He was asked to switch it off and stow it for take-off; he obediently turned the device off, but refused to stow it. Next thing you know, a security team was called on board and ...Attend Milwaukee's Summerfest in honor of George Carlin
Jun 23rd, 2008 at 9:30AM: George Carlin, the guy who created quite the stir in the 1970s with his comedy routine, "Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say on Television," just died yesterday.
When I went looking for a travel related element to add to this piece of news, I came upon this tidbit. Carlin was arrested for performing this very routine in 1972 at the Milwaukee Summerfest . As it so happens, the Milwaukee Summerfest ...Hip hop artist launches travel site
Apr 2nd, 2008 at 5:00PM: At first I thought: what on earth was Kanye West thinking trying to be a travel agent!? But a bit of thought and it makes complete sense -- it's a great way to encourage his fans to book with him, especially making it easy to for them follow him around when he's on tour! The Grammy-winning hip hop star has actually done a decent job making the site "Kanye Travel Ventures" seem quite resourceful as ..."We Are The World" impersonated by the Japanese
Bon appetit on the Eiffel Tower
Dec 28th, 2007 at 1:30PM: Taking further our kicks of eating things either made by someone famous or with someone famous, now eating on something famous takes a new turn. Friends, friends and friends, you can now dine in new style at 410-feet on the Eiffel Tower. Called Jules Verne (after the famous French author?), the revamped restaurant on this monument is the brain child of celebrity chef Alain Ducasse that will serve ...
