Reese Witherspoon has played so many 'love interest' roles that it's hard to believe she'd ever refuse to kiss a co-star, but there were exceptional circumstances on the set of 'Water for Elephants.' Her co-star was Robert Pattinson - which for the majority of women would be considered to be a bonus - but unfortunately for Pattinson, Witherspoon, and the whole production, Pattinson was trying to deal with a heavy cold at the time the scene was due to be filmed. Witherspoon wasn't keen on catching it!
A sympathetic Witherspoon later commended Pattinson for continuing to film while so ill, but also said that he had the most 'disgusting, green, infectious' cold she'd ever seen in her life. Pattinson felt wretched about the whole thing, and apologized to Witherspoon between bouts of sneezing and snotting. Nevertheless, they eventually decided the movie had to have the kiss, and so they went ahead with the scene. We'll go ahead and assume there were no tongues involved.
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.
