'Queen' was one of the biggest bands in the world during the 1970s and 1980s. They sold out stadiums, had huge world tours, and rolled out hit after hit whenever they had new music to sell. Freddie Mercury - who many people consider to be the greatest rock and roll lead singer of all time - sadly passed away in 1991, but he's recently been discovered by a whole new generation thanks to the biopic movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' Never have mustaches looked so cool or iconic.
'South Park' makes crude parodies a calling card, so if Matt Stone and Trey Parker had Mercury in mind when they designed the character of Mr. Slave, we wouldn't be at all surprised. He looks like he's part Mercury, and part Village People. Very few people have rocked the handlebar mustache though - and Mr. Slave is something of a hit with the gentleman - so we suspect that he's more Mercury than anything else.
Whether celebrities are looking to be in the spotlight or escape the paparazzi, there are some popular vacation destinations that always seem to be frequented by the stars. Celeb spotting is a favorite pastime of many travelers, and you might be able to snag a photo or even an autograph when you visit these top celebrity vacation spots around the world. Although the price tags may be a bit higher in these destinations than your average budget getaway, these are some of the best celebrity vacation spots that you can start saving up to visit and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a house here, and it’s been a favorite getaway for Gwenyth Paltrow. Some of the local favorites that boast the most celebrity sightings include the Wellies Restaurant and Bar, Puerto Portals, and Es Trenc Beach.
Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
