The Loss of LOST Might Mean the Rise of Hawaii

February 9, 2010 at 9:00 AM | by JetSetCD | 0 Comments

Dear fans of LOST, don't pout because you're only several more episodes away from the end of the final season of your show, because the cast members sure aren't worrying. In fact, they're already on the look out for the next gig, and Daniel Dae Kim is the first to find post-LOST success as he's already signed on to play Detective Chin Ho Kelly in the upcoming remake of the late 1960s detective drama series Hawaii Five-O.

So what does this mean for travel? Well for one, it means that couch potatoes are going see the beautiful beaches and vistas of Hawaii when the series airs eventually, and that's some serious subliminal messaging. This will trickle down to hopefully help the tourism end of Hawaii's economy which struggled majorly during the recession and still needs a boast in the bottom.

So if you enjoyed Daniel Dae Kim romping through the exotic wilds of Hawaii in LOST, stay tuned for Daniel Day Lewis romping through the beaches, hotels and wilds of Hawaii in Hawaii Five-O.

According to the NY Post, West freaked out in LAX Monday night on his way back to NYC from the Grammys because he and his assistant were seated in business class, not first class.

Katie Holmes Gets 'Romantic' By Herself in Park City During Sundance

January 28, 2010 at 10:22 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Katie Holmes is the talk of the Sundance Film Festival this year, and not just because she's flying solo in Park City, UT, but also because she has two films in the fest that are getting a lot of buzz. Yesterday, Katie was spotted at the premiere of The Romantics at the Library Centre with co-star Josh Duhamel and his wife Fergie. Kate also took some time yesterday to pose for photos with one of the film's other co-stars, Elijah Wood, who reminisced about filming the movie last year on Long Island. "One lunch break," Elijah said, "instead of going to lunch, we decided to have a party at one of the holding houses. There was a little iPod dock, and we played very loud music and danced. And the girls were amazing."

The Romantics centers on Laura (Holmes), the maid of honor at the wedding of her former college roommate Lila (Anna Paquin ) and the love of her life Tom (Duhamel). The wedding provides the backdrop for a reunion of their friends who had the nickname The Romantics. But, The Romantics isn't the only film Katie's touting at Sundance this year.

Where: Haiti
January 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM | by Jennifer Kester | 1 Comment

While big-name singers like Alicia Keys and Madonna used their pipes to raise more than $58 million in the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon on Friday, actor-activist Sean Penn was on the ground of the disaster-torn country to lend a hand.

The star delivered medical supplies and transport doctors to those whose lives were devastated by the January 12 earthquake as part of his charity, the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. In Port-au-Prince and around the capital, Penn gave out water filters, went to a clinic, visited out a food-distribution site, and checked out the efforts of soldiers from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division.

Rumors of an 'Avatar II' Follow Avatar's Star Back to Australia

January 21, 2010 at 1:30 PM | by cmb | 1 Comment

Australian hottie Sam Worthington and his girlfriend Natalie Mark were spotted checking quite a bit of luggage at the Virgin Atlantic counter in LAX Tuesday. The couple was heading back home after attending the Golden Globes on Sunday. It was a good night for Sam and his director, James Cameron, as their film, Avatar, took home the Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama.

Its rumored Worthington has already signed on for the Avatar II, an idea Cameron has always been open to. “I’ve had a storyline in mind from the start – there are even scenes in Avatar that I kept in because they lead to the sequel ,” Cameron said. “It just makes sense to think of it as a two-or-three film arc, in terms of the business plan. The plants and trees, etc, all takes an enormous amount of time to create . It’d be a waste not to use it again,” he added.

David Beckham's New Puppy Dines with Gordan Ramsay, Flies First Class

January 18, 2010 at 2:00 PM | by cmb | 0 Comments

David Beckham won't trust just any old airline to fly his new bulldog puppy. Becks reportedly spent £2,000 ($3,267) to fly his new pooch back to Los Angeles on Pet Airways. The bulldog puppy, who was a Christmas gift from his wife Victoria, flew from London to L.A. in luxury. PetAir's Gold Standard service includes a custom-made wooden travel container with bedding and water, a pre-travel health examination and one night in the care of a vet. A source close to the soccer star said: "It's one lucky animal, but David only wants the best."

But a first class flight isn't the only perk the dog has enjoyed since becoming part of the Beckham clan. The dog also stayed with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay at his Wandsworth home in London and enjoyed specially prepared meals, while the Beckhams returned to Los Angeles. Another source added: '"In its very short life, David's dog has already seen the kind of luxury it will be treated to. It's been fed top-notch food by the UK's leading star chef, and has now been flown in total comfort to LA."

Now, Johnny Depp fans in Serbia can pose for photos with the actor anytime they want. Johnny was honored with a statue in his image at the the opening of the Third Annual Kustendorf Film festival held in Belgrade, Serbia yesterday. The nearly life-size statue was created by renown sculptor Dragan Nikolic Bajastatue and was presented to Depp by Serbian director Emir Kusturica. In addition to the statue, Johnny also received the “Award for Future Movies.” Umm....

The statue was unveiled in the village of Drvengrad, which was created by Kusturica for his film, Life is a Miracle. Though it started out as a movie set, the "woodenvillage" is now a popular tourist destination with restaurants, a movie theater, library and gallery. The town was even named the best European architectonic achievement in the last three years by the expert jury of the Brussels Foundation for Architecture.

Why Depp might be back in Serbia sooner than you think...

Gary, Indiana To Build Michael Jackson Theme Park With 'Thriller' Coaster

January 13, 2010 at 2:23 PM | by JetSetCD | 1 Comment


MJ's Neverland Ranch, which will inspire the park

Some shocking news from the LA Times today, something which we oddly expected but truly hoped would never happen. That's right—someone is building a Michael Jackson Theme Park.

Although the obvious location for the King of Pop's playland would be his already theme park-ish Neverland Rand in Santa Barbara County, California. But no...this whole new development is landing in the singer's hometown of Gary, Indiana. They expect to break ground this year, and plan for a full decade-long buildout, to cost approximately $1 billion. Apparently they think that we'll be more ready for an MJ theme park in ten years, but they are wrong.

After the jump, more on a 'Thriller' roller coaster...

Halle Berry Proves More Than A-List By Skipping Security

January 12, 2010 at 9:13 AM | by kjb | 0 Comments

It appears that the perks of being famous don’t stop when you reach the airport. Last week Halle Berry was too cool to wait in line for airport security in Montreal, and was whisked past all the passengers at the airport.

A police officer escorted her, her boyfriend, and her little girl to the front of the line. Apparently the boyfriend—Gabriel Aubry—played the “we’re going to miss our flight” line, and that’s what allowed them to skip ahead of everyone else.

Is Croatia Totally The Next Celeb Hotspot?

January 11, 2010 at 3:04 PM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Beyonce and Jay-Z have done it, so have Mickey Rourke and U2. It seems like everyone's vacationing in Croatia these days and why shouldn't they? Celebs are finally figuring out what in-the-know tourists have experienced for years; Croatia offers everything other European countries on the Mediterranean do, like gorgeous beaches, sailing, great food and first-class restaurants, but at a cheaper price.

Last summer, the rich and famous were flocking to Croatia for some fun in the sun. U2's bassist, Adam Clayton, took a much needed vacation in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik where he ate dinner at Nautika and drove around in a Mercedes before heading back to his luxury yacht. Jay-Z and Beyonce also stayed in a yacht outside of Dubrovnik but they had a slightly less tranquil time last summer after the paparazzi got a little too close, causing an altercation with one of their bodyguards. In August, Mickey Rourke didn't seem to mind the paps snapping pics of him while he when for a swim with a mystery "friend".
