With the economy the way it is, mancations have become a thing of the past. Sure, bromances live on but when it comes to celebrating the love and friendship of two or more dudes by going on vacation somewhere, well that's probably one of the first thing to get cut when money is tight. Unless you're a celebrity of course. Then mancations are totally recession-proof.

Well known mancationers, Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, were spotted tussling on a raft in Portofino, Italy over the weekend. Portofino, originally an old fishing village, is now a swanky section of the Italian Riviera heavily favored by celebrities for summer getaways. And while Owen and Woody took it rather easy on their raft, more active water sports can be done in Portofino like jet-skiing, diving and snorkeling.

And let's not forget about the designer shopping and fabulous Italian restaurants in town--both are perfect ways to end the idle days aboard a bro-raft.

We went to see the movie Transsiberian this weekend on the name alone, and it was totally awesome. We're hardly the first to compare it to a Hitchcock thriller, but the parallels couldn't be more apparent.

Woody Harrelson does a tremendous job as the overly loud, not-quite-with-it American tourist and Emily Mortimer ("Lars and the Real Girl") is wonderful as his more worldly wife. Shortly after the pair boards the train from Beijing to Moscow, a mysterious young couple joins them in their cabin. It's not much longer before things get super creepy. (Ben Kingsley shows up later as a Russian detective.)

The Brad Anderson film premiered at Sundance earlier this year and so far is in a very limited release in New York City. We tried to get distribution info from the studio, but haven't heard anything back just yet. For now, you can check updated showtimes at Moviefone.

That little taste of summer vacation you had this weekend just wasn't enough! You've just got to get away before that Croc tan line fades. That's what Woody Harrelson must have been thinking when he told a reporter he wants to do a 40-day fast on an uninhabited island--when he has time in his work schedule, of course.

Harrelson already lives on Maui but that isn't deserted enough for his swimming and surfing sojourn. Nor, apparently, did biking from Seattle to LA or winning this weekend's Cannes celebrity poker charity challenge do it for him: Nothing will work except a full fast:

I mean, I don't take it lightly. I know it's gonna be hard. But can you imagine? Eating nothing for 40 days? Swimming and surfing every day in a remote place? Where does the mind go?

He should know--he did a 38-day fast two years ago.

Give Woody a hand: What remote island, besides the one from "Lost," would be the perfect getaway for a fasting actor?
