Supermodel Photoshoots

St Barts Still Hot For Swimsuit Shoots

January 21, 2009 at 8:59 AM | 2 Comments

Just when you thought it was going out of style, photos of supermodel Marisa Miller were leaked of her latest photo shoot -- in the celeb vacation hot spot of St. Barts.

Miller, the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, was shooting what is rumored to be a Victoria's Secret catalogue. Fellow Angel Miranda Kerr was also snapped there. St Barts is popular with SI, too -- they used it for a 2007 shoot featuring Maybe-Brady Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima.

Celebs from Mariah Carey to Richard Gere found themselves in St Barts over the holidays -- but the hotness quotient will probably go down now that we're onto it. Sorry, stars!

Still On Vacation

Two Men In A Tub

January 7, 2009 at 8:56 AM | 0 Comments

Just passing the torch! Current Bond Daniel Craig and heartthrob of moms everywhere Richard Gere have a man-to-man talk in the hottest celebrity vacation spot of this winter, St. Barts. Beyonce and Jay-Z were recently spotted there as well as Mariah Carey, Eddie Murphy and Jon Bon Jovi.

Gere and Craig may be sittin' pretty right now, but let's hope neither of them owns the boat they're on. The yacht industry slump began in December 2007, before most of us were acquainted with the R-word, making it difficult for owners to sell the boats they have. Since many boat buyers are upgrading from their previous boats, any downturn in price leads to a downturn in sales, and a vicious circle ensues. Even the luxury travel market isn't completely recession proof: By April yacht sales in the $200,000 to $800,000 range were already down 50 percent.

On the other hand, it's a great time to pick up a luxury yacht, in case you have a chunk of change sitting around. But what if next year's hot vacation spot is landlocked?

Celebrity Vacation

James Bond's Week Off

December 29, 2008 at 9:20 AM | 0 Comments

These waves have been shaken, not stirred: Current James Bond, Daniel Craig, and girlfriend splashed about in St. Bart's over the weekend. They were later spotted kissing on the beach--as long as they don't try that in Dubai!

Craig does have some time off as the sequel to this fall's "Quantum of Solace" hasn't even been written yet. Internet rumor has it the next flick, the 23rd Bond picture, will be filmed at least partly in New York City, with outlaw Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko) to return. Bond goes even more Bourne? Only 2009 will tell us for sure.

St. Barts

2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Beach Location Revealed

Looks like we have identified one of the beach locations for the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition--Reserve Naturelle Barine Saint-Barthelemy. As of late last week, both Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima were being heavily photographed on that particular St. Barth's beach.

If you are in the area, be sure to hit up Le Tom Hotel for beach chairs and umbrellas, as long as you run up a nice lunch tab their they are usually accommodating. The umbrella is key, you don't want to be red as a lobster when you finally get your chance to talk with the supermodels.
