April 4, 2011 at 1:25 PM | by | Comments (0)

St. Barths in the Caribbean has always been known to attract the rich and famous (and the wannabe rich and famous), and it's a general rule that the most rich and famous head down during the dead of winter. There is, however, a second wind that occurs when the days turn grey with spring rains, and that is now.

Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town co-star, Josh Hopkins, are adding fuel to the firestorm of dating rumors while vacationing in St. Barts. The pair has spent the past week hanging out on the beach with Courteney's daughter Coco and shopping in Port of Gustavia.

Roman bought the 70-acre property, with a full beach and Balinese bungalows, for a cool $90 million. If he only spent one weekend in one of his two Colorado ski-in, ski-out properties (um, in July) last year, then when will he find the time to vacation in the Caribbean? Perhaps it's just a parking space for his three-plus boats?
