Tubing Is The Only Way To Beat The Heat In The Valley Of The Sun

When you think of Phoenix in the summer, you probably think of the sweltering heat and imagine yourself dodging in and out of the comfort of air conditioning. A relaxing trip down a river in a tube doesn’t even seem like a possibility, but it is, and you can beat the summer rays only 30 minutes outside the city.

After a short ride towards Mesa, you’ll find yourself floating and bobbing along the Lower Salt River in the middle of the Tonto National Forest. Although tubing is usually a relaxing experience, there are some rapids along this route to keep you on your toes. Also, they encourage picnicking along the river and even rent out special tubes to float your cooler right along side your group.

Stars Who Love To Love

Even if celebs were out and about their business, Saturday still wasn't a normal day. Beyonce and Jay-Z attended a charitable event together in Mesa, Arizona, where they and baller LeBron James donated 150 musical instruments to a local school.

Jennifer Lopez performed in New York's Madison Square Garden Saturday night, bringing onstage not only husband Marc Anthony but their nearly one-year-old twins Max and Emme. The kids looked a little shell-shocked, but it was their first show!

Since they love the cameras as much as (maybe more than?) they love each other, it's not surprising Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of "The Hills hosted a V-day bash at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas.

Of course, not all of them could be with the ones they loved. Heidi Klum left her beloved Seal at home as she hit New York Fashion Week to attend the Barbie Fall 2009 runway show and pose with some festive balloons. After a high-profile spat with girlfriend Samantha Ronson on the 13th after sis Charlotte's fashion show in New York City, Lindsay Lohan slipped out on the morning of the 14th to pick up a little something at Blue & Cream -- maybe an "I'm sorry" gift?

And Miley Cyrus' rumored fling Justin Gaston was nowhere in sight as the starlet and her mom hit London's TopShop, which opened after-hours just for her. After all, diamonds are a girl's best friend, but new clothes show up better on TV.
