Summer's coming, and it's getting hot in Rome. So hot, in fact, that even one of the city's most famous tourist attractions, the Trevi Fountain, is no longer safe. Yesterday a local office worker gave tourists and their cameras something different to enjoy:

The 38-year-old identified only as Roberta stunned onlookers by stripping out of her clothes and swimming several lengths of the fountain before stretching out on the marble plinth at the base of a statue of Neptune.

While she could've been hit with a fine of nearly $150, or hit with one of the many coins constantly thrown into the fountain, police simply gave her a warning and let the embarrassment of explaining the lunchtime frolic to her boss, plus having photos plastered across the media, be punishment enough.

One of the best parts of summer trips? The ubiquitous summer share or rental by the shore.

Looks like SJP and Matthew Broderick beat you to the Amagansett oceanfront, as reported by The NY Post, but there's still time to find something of your own.

Forbes.com/MSN's Summer Rental Guide 2005 picks the top ten destinations (strangely the IROC-Z heavy Jersey shore didn't make the cut?) but Martha's Vineyard and Kennebunkport did, natch.

Slap on some pearls and madras shorts and mix yourself an Arnold Palmer--we'll see you at the clambake.
