Dita Von Teese Ditches Paris For One Week Only in Vegas
Although we usually leave Las Vegas news to our sister site, VegasChatter, we just had to share the news that one of our favorite travel tweeters, who also happens to be the world's top burlesque star, Dita Von Teese is returning to Vegas for a week's worth of performances.
These days, she spends most of her time at her place in Paris or flying around the world either signing her books or giving little tastes of her signature martini glass act, but when she's back at the MGM Grand's Crazy Horse, it's the real deal. She'll be performing "Lazy" with the Crazy Horse dancers, "Le Bain Noir," and "Teese'ing," and hopefully more from March 31 through April 7 (no show on April 6).

The North Shore of Hawaii Taken Over for Teen Surfer Movie
You might remember the story of Bethany Hamilton, the teen who lost her arm in a shark attack off the shores of Tunnels Beach, Kauai in 2003 and was back in the water just 3 weeks later. Now, Bethany's inspiring story is being made into a movie starring AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt.
The cast and crew began filming two weeks ago and have been spending most of the shoot on Oahu's North Shore. On Wednesday, the cast was spotted filming scenes at Sunset Beach, off of Route 83. There are four other popular beaches along the North Shore, Ehukai (The Banzai Pipeline) Beach Park, KeWa`ena Beach, Waimea Bay Beach Park, and Ali`i Beach Park. Winter is the best time for surfers along the North Shore because the waves are at their highest, reaching 15- 20 feet on average. All of the beaches are free and open to the public, but on a good surfing day, you may have trouble finding a parking spot!

Kim Kardashian Outs an Air Marshal Via Twitter Using In-Flight WiFi
Kim Kardashian was in New York this this week for the premiere of her clothing collection for Bebe, but what's making more news than that is her return flight to Los Angeles. Kim, utilizing the in-flight WiFi on her airplane—we're guessing an American flight because we've seen her travel with them on Keeping Up With the Kardashians—tweeted that she was sitting next to an air marshal named Jim.
It went a little something like this:
I'm on the airplane...love wifi! I am sitting next to an Air Marshall! Jim the air marshall makes me feel safe!
Immediately her fans began wagging their fingers at her thoughtlessness, since air marshals are supposed to blend in with the regular passengers and not be pointed out, for the security of all on the plane. So while still in the skies, Kim tried to cover her (very famous) ass:

Celebs Ready To Descend On Vancouver For The 2010 Olympics
Olympic fever is sweeping Vancouver but so far, there haven't been too many celebrity sightings. A few celebs have managed to get their hands on that elusive torch including Matt Lauer, Arnold Schwarzenegger and native Canadian, Michael Buble, who was moved by the experience. “The last six or seven, eight years as I’ve gone around the world, the first thing I’ve always said is I was Canadian,” Buble said. “It’s emotional, I’m shaking. I mean, I’ve got goosebumps and I’m a guy who doesn’t get nervous for a lot of things. I don’t get overexcited by too much but it’s going to be hard to sleep tonight.”
In addition to torch bearers, Omega watches is set to host several of their celebrity "ambassadors" during the games at the Omega boutique at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Cindy Crawford will appear at an event on Feb. 14 at the Omega boutique, Superstar swimmer Michael Phelps will appear at the same location on Feb. 18, and Buzz Aldrin will be there on Feb. 21.

The Loss of LOST Might Mean the Rise of Hawaii
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 Dae Kim romping through the beaches, hotels and wilds of Hawaii in Hawaii Five-O.

Did Kanye Really Throw A Fit On a Plane at LAX?
Even though Kanye West hasn't been making many public appearances lately, that doesn't mean he's been keeping quiet. He has been taking to his blog, defending himself against the haters and setting the record straight.
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
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.

Sean Penn Travels with John Edwards to Deliver Relief in Haiti
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
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.

Use Twitter to Stalk Jimmy Fallon in Montreal
While some celebs were getting poured on in L.A., Jimmy Fallon proved all the cool kids were actually in Canada. The Late Night host spent the weekend in Montreal for a friend's bachelor party where, he announced on his show Friday, they planned to do some snowmobiling and ice fishing. But, apparently, they decided to do some eating and bar hopping instead.
On Sunday, he tweeted, "Love to Montreal. Had a blast this weekend. Joe Beef, Chez Serge and Stereo. Great places." So, where are these great places? Joe Beef, located at the corner of De la Commune Street and De la Callière Street, in Old Montreal, has only 28 seats and a limited menu to ensure each customer has great service and each meal is as fresh as it can be. Every night there is a choice of four appetizers and four main courses written on a blackboard in the restaurant. Main dishes include tripe-a beef, fresh fish or traditional Montreal cuisine ranging from $18 to $40.They also have a “raw bar” where you get to choose from three or four different kinds of oysters, clams, crabs or lobsters ($8 to $18).
