Go Bronze: There's nothing wrong that a little seasonal sunshine can't fix. We pulled a $472 package to Aruba this morning from LastMinute.com. Resist the temptation to get (more?) plastic surgery when you're there; focus on nature instead.

Go British: What better way to get revenge on that meanie Simon Cowell than by launching a charm offensive on his home turf? Scoop up airfare on Virgin Atlantic and 6 nights in a London hotel with a new Virgin Vacations promo called "London Fling." No wonder it made Kayak's list of the best travel deals for August. You have to travel between November 1 and December 20, though, so spend the intervening months watching "My Fair Lady" and developing a taste for tea.

Go Brooklyn: Up your cool quotient in the wake of starring in the popular but scorned "Idol" by taking the act cross-country for a few months. Stay at one of our sister HotelChatter's Five Best Hotels For Those Not Afraid to Go to Brooklyn and you can be assured of style and plenty of attention for whatever phase you're going through. Dye your hair red and put on a leather jacket! Why not?
