We're not afraid to admit that Biloxi, Mississippi has never been high on our "To Visit" list. True, it does host killer Kid Rock concerts, but that alone won't get us on a Skybus flight to the Gulf Coast.
Budget Travel magazine, though, thinks we should reconsider. Biloxi's done a lot of rebuilding since Katrina smashed the city in 2005, and big casinos are a major draw. So too is bingeing on seafood: The city was once the world capital of oysters and shrimp.
We're not too taken by the couple of museums BT suggests, but that's no big deal when there are 26 miles of beach around to enjoy. Cruising on a replica of a turn-of-the-century schooner sounds pretty cool, too.

Jaunted tipster James found the R2D2 mailbox in Jackson Mississipi. Who knew R2 was into taking in some gospel music down by the Pearl River, or maybe the droid hit a blues bar. There are plenty of Mississippi blues events for R2 to check out this month.
He does look quite lonely sitting on the side of the road in Jackson, but at least he has his little blue postal friends to keep him company.
R2 is showing up everywhere this summer.

While Kevin Federline celebrated his divorce by
pseudo-promoting his new album in DC last weekend, Brit went her own way and jumped on a plane yesterday to spend time with the kids in her homeland: Kentwood, LA.
While in town, Brit popped over to Mississippi and stopped at her favorite gourmet eatery, Nyla's Burger Basket. Nyla, a 55-year-old family friend of Brit's, serves up fast food, lots of greasy burgers and fries, and milkshakes. In other words, wonderful food for growing toddlers. Nyla claimed that Brit looks "beautiful" with her "cute little short hair cut."
The fam left town yesterday evening, perhaps to head to Miami where Britney was originally scheduled to be headed towards earlier this week.

Just in time for Oprah's
Summer of Faulkner, the house that the novelist lived in for decades, Rowan Oak, has been so carefully restored that you can almost smell the bourbon in the air.
