Romantic Travel News, Early October 2005
Romantic
Travel in Paris
The City of Light
was transformed into a paparazzi paradise as a torrent of Tinseltown's
elite flocked to Fashion Week. Beyonce and her beau Jay-Z
checked into their suite at the Plaza Athenee Hotel before checking
out the naughty notions on display at Agent Provocateur's show,
while Uma Thurman lodged at the Ritz Hotel after attending
Louis Vuitton's latest show. The Ritz was also the home base
for "Basic Instinct" beauty Sharon Stone, who
was spotted sightseeing from a bateau mouche floating along
the Seine.
From her suite at
the Georges V Hotel teen queen Hilary Duff could look
out upon the Champs-Elysees and the Eiffel Tower. The singer/actress
was in Paris to promote her latest CD, although she tempered
her grueling work schedule with shopping sprees on St. Honore
street, her boyfriend Joel Madden of the group Good Charlotte
at her side.
Greece
Getaway
Billy Zane,
best known to cinematic romantics as villainous Cal Hockley
in the blockbuster "Titanic," appeared at the Zappion
Megaron in Athens, Greece for the opening of an exhibit displaying
over 300 artifacts from The Ship of Dreams. The actor, himself
a romantic at heart, is rumored to be planning a summer 2006
wedding to his long time lady love, actress Kelly Brook.
Cavorting
in Cabo
According to People.com,
during her time away from the Nogales, Arizona set of her latest
movie "Bordertown," Jennifer Lopez enjoyed
a romantic getaway with husband Marc Anthony at Las Ventanas
in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The posh resort has become a haven
for Hollywood heavyweights.
Spooky
Fun
Actor Chris Rankin,
better known to "Harry Potter" fans as Percy Weasley,
brewed up some fun along with other magically-minded attendees
of the "Witching Hour" festivities, a three-day Salem,
Massachusetts symposium celebrating the works of author JK Rowling.
Dieter Schmitz
and Jessica Smith from MTV's "Laguna Beach"
had a ghoulishly good time inside the 3-D maze set up at Knott's
Scary Farm Halloween Haunt, an annual event held at Knott's
Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.
Royal
Ramblings
Britain's Prince
William, who is soon to follow in his younger brother's
footsteps by enrolling in Sandhurst Military Academy, is currently
enjoying country pursuits as he works on the Chatsworth Estate
in Derbyshire, where the future king of England lodges in the
property's 16th century hunting tower. Chatsworth House, which
is open for self-guided tours, will soon be in the spotlight
as one of the venues featured in the upcoming adaptation of
Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," starring Keira
Knightley.
New
Mexico Sightings
The residents of
Santa Fe, Taos and Lordsburg may be lucky enough to catch a
glimpse of former 007 Pierce Brosnan and "Star Wars"
alum Liam Neeson as production begins on October 17,
2005 in New Mexico on "Seraphim Falls," a Civil War
drama slated for a 2007 release.
Hawaiian
Hotspot
Constructed on land
which once belonged to Hawaii's last queen, it seems only fitting
that The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa would be visited
by Hollywood royalty, and in mid-October actress Kate Hudson,
along with her co-stars in the upcoming comedy "You, Me
and Dupree," Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon,
enjoyed their time away from the set at a party held at the
Maharajah Ultra Lounge, the new Hawaiian hotspot located inside
the 1,310-room luxury hotel.
Scottish
Stand-Ins
The regal appearance
of Scotland's Blairquhan Castle will stand in for Balmoral Castle
in the currently in production drama "The Queen,"
in which actress Helen Mirren portrays the current British
monarch, torn between private sorrow and royal duty in the days
following Princess Diana's death.
Shanghai
Shenanigans
Lovebirds Liev
Schreiber and Naomi Watts recently jetted off to
Shanghai, China to step in front of the camaras for the movie
adaptation of Somerset Maugham's classic "The Painted Veil,"
which co-stars Edward Norton. Scenes have already been filmed
in Huangyao for this remake of a 1934 flick starring Greta Garbo,
which will be shot in its entirety in China.
