Nowhere to Hide for Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller tried to pretend she hasn't been in the tabloids for weeks while out and about in London yesterday. Ever since her steamy vacation photos co-starring very married boyfriend Balthazar Getty got out, her attempts to keep a low profile have been, shall we say, somewhat pointless.

Sienna's toplessness on holiday with Getty in Italy is one thing, but not all nudity-friendly zones are also pro-adultery: A clothing-optional hotel in Florida, Caliente Resorts, was forced to withdraw from the American Association for Nude Recreation amid rumors of sex parties taking place behind its closed doors.

Turns out, the AANR is a "family-oriented association," so any connection to swingers just won't fly.

Get Buzzed this August for $9k

Celebrities losing weight is so 20th century; the hot new trend is going totally weightless! We told you about Joey Fatone taking a Zero G flight for his 31st birthday back in February, and now the anti-gravity flight provider has even raised the bar for those willing to spend $9,000.

On August 17, Zero G will host a flight out of Las Vegas for a select 16 people--the normal load is 35--with one very special guest, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. With more room to float freely for 30 seconds at a time, the lucky crew can mingle with Buzz and ask him about all the wild stuff he did when he was weightless for hours at a time.

We can think of what we'd want to do weightless in a plane, and it's dirty. If you're paying nine grand, we'd be hoping for a bit more excitement than throwing chips at each other from across the cabin!

Hamptons Travel: Lindsay and Sam, One Night Only

Lindsay Lohan partied with her potential squeeze Samantha Ronson this weekend at the East Hampton club Lily Pond. It's a rare East Coast appearance for Lohan as she gives her mother's reality show "Living Lohan" a wide berth and sticks to her new movie "Labor Pains," being shot outside of LA.

So are The Hamptons over? A few weeks ago The New York Times described the gradual drift of the Hamptons crowd toward Montauk as the exclusive addresses of Martha Stewart and P. Diddy draw more and more of the "wrong crowd."

Not that there's been a serious dip in Jitney ridership yet, but at least the fundraising crowd is cutting back on their Hamptons trips, leaving your friendly neighborhood nonprofit to feel the pinch. So before you go, leave some money in Manhattan!

Airport Photo Shoot: The Dark Knight Is BatDad

Christian Bale carried 2-year-old daughter Emmaline to the airport over the weekend. Couldn't Lucius Fox have whipped him up a state-of-the-art child hoisting device?

In case you traveled to Under A Rock, Michigan this weekend, you know that "The Dark Knight" just broke all kinds of records, including biggest opening weekend in history and most opening screens.

The flick was filmed in Chicago, Hong Kong and Britain, all standing in for Gotham City. We craned our necks but didn't spot any real-life landmarks--how about you?

Rumored Concert Travel: Casino Life for Mariah?

Is it time to put Mimi out to pasture? A Vegas casino has reportedly made an offer to Mariah Carey for a residency there--with a $100 million price tag.

The Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, which rose out of the ashes of the Aladdin this year, thinks the singer could be the next Celine Dion or Elvis. It's the same place whose clubs called in Heidi Montag's employer, Bolthouse Productions, to help them get with the times.

Vegas is a great place to make money (just ask Dion, who raked in almost $400 million over five years at Caesars) but we're not sure it's really Mariah's style!

Airport Photo Shoot: Zac Efron's Oversize Carryon

Zac, Zac, Zac, what are you doing? You may be the Disney Channel's number-one hottie, but this is New York. You can't just show up at JFK and decide to reinvent yourself as one of those downtownies who skateboards to work.

Guess this is what tween stars do on vacation. Efron is off, along with his "High School Musical" costars, until they start press rounds ahead of the film in October. Till then, we're hoping he'll blow all our minds by filming a cameo on "Gossip Girl."

So Who Started That Louisiana Bar Brawl?

Looks like Josh Brolin and other cast and crew of the movie "W" weren't as rowdy as initial reports led us to believe. While no one is disputing that lighting tech Eric Felland got tossed from the bar, cell phone video taken at the scene reportedly shows cops using pepper spray on Brolin and fellow actor Jeffrey Wright.

When that didn't subdue them, a Taser was used on Wright, police admitted. But TMZ is reporting that racial slurs were also directed at the actor, who is black.

The city attorney plans to file charges against the actors for interfering with police officers, though a final decision on that hasn't been reached. We already knew that Shreveport was making a play to become the Hollywood of the South, but we didn't expect heavy-handed police tactics to be one of the ways the town would channel LA.

Trespasser Travel: Visit the Bohemian Club, If You Dare!

If Richard Nixon hated it, it must be fun: A Vanity Fair reporter was arrested trying to sneak into the Bohemian Grove, a secret camp for the rich and powerful outside San Francisco.

There are a lot of institutions out there keeping the white man down these days, so politicians like Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon would retreat to this summer camp for grown-ups, which was founded in 1872. There's reportedly a 20-year wait to become a member. Dick Cheney, Alan Greenspan and Newt Gingrich have stopped by to rub shoulders with Francis Ford Coppola and Merv Griffin. It has thankfully never been confirmed that members run around naked for two weeks while on camp territory.

But VF's Alex Shoumatoff wasn't the first person to contemplate breaking in: A filmmaker was not only able to infiltrate the gathering, but videotape one of their secret ceremonies, in which a figure representing "Care" is stuck in a boat on the property's lake and set ablaze. Really, they get away from everyone and that's what they do?

Olivia Newton-John Survived the Great Wall and Cancer

Olivia Newton-John climbed the Great Wall of China, and she wants you to know, it's just like having cancer! Wait, wrong way 'round: The trip gave her a sense of perspective on being a cancer survivor. Cancer doesn't hawk you a T-shirt or one of those peeing statues.

Newton-John, who performed at this year's Gay Pride parade in West Hollywood, led a trip called the Great Walk to Beijing in April to raise cancer awareness and raise funds for a Melbourne, Australia treatment center she founded.

She said of the wall:

It was sometimes difficult, it was strenuous, it was challenging. But when you got through it, it was amazing.

Hopefully China will feel the same about the Olympics--22 days to go!

1980s Travel: Menudo Member Tossed from Flight

Did you know that Menudo still exists? Apparently the Latin boy band is still around, and one of its current members, Carlos Olivero, got tossed off a Delta flight on the Fourth of July after not complying with a flight attendant's request to stow his iPod.

According to a source quoted by People:

A flight attendant accused Carlos of having an attitude after she asked him to turn off his iPod in preparation for takeoff. Carlos complied and turned his iPod off, but the flight attendant then demanded he stow it. Carlos showed her again that the iPod was turned off, but he refused to stow it.

Come on, folks! How many federal trials will passengers have to face before you realize that you're required to do what FAs tell you?

As for Carlos, he and his mother were booted, and the rest of the band decided to join them in waiting for another flight. They eventually made it to Knoxville, where they performed in front of 75,000 fans still living in the '80s.

Hiatus Travel: "The Hills"-GOP Crossover Inches Closer to Scary Reality

When Heidi Montag announced she supported presidential candidate John McCain, entertainment junkies wrote it off as the results of the same brain-deadening virus that caused her to break up with her best friend for Spencer Pratt. The only thing scarier than a Montag endorsement, though, is the campaign's seeming embrace of the words of this reality star.

Heidi, currently making a go of it as an event planner and pop singer, recently had lunch at LA's exclusive restaurant The Ivy with the senator's daughter, Meghan McCain.

The Columbia grad put her political site, McCainBlogette.com, on hold for July, but is she really strategizing with the co-star of the most insidious tabloid campaign of our time? And given that "The Hills" returns in August, could McCain become Montag's new on-screen bestie?

Otherworldly Champion Travel: Nadal's in Space

Rafael Nadal blasted off at this year's Wimbledon to whomp Roger Federer in the fifth set of the finals. Now the 22-year-old superstar is getting an interstellar tribute: An asteroid in the belt between Mars and Jupiter will be named for him.

The rock, which measures four kilometers in diameter, isn't suitable for, say, a vacation house, but Rafa's welcome to watch it move through space from the Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca, the Balearic isle where he was born. Right now the best he can hope for is to ride past it on Virgin Galactic.
