Celeb Pageant Host Travel: Pack Those Bags for Vietnam

Pack your bags, C-List celebrities! You've just won a trip to... where? Given its name, the Miss Universe pageant can be held anywhere from here to the planet formerly known as Pluto, but perhaps co-hosts Mel "Scary Spice" Brown and Jerry Springer were surprised to learn they're headed not to Rio or Rome but to Nha Trang.

Nha Trang is actually a popular tourist destination on the southeastern coast of Vietnam, known for its great scuba diving. The Super World Travelers Brangelina have already been there, of course.

In the past 10 years, Miss Universe has been held in the US and Puerto Rico a total of four times, though other less-familiar locales like Cyprus and Ecuador have also played host.

Music Travel: This Year's Spice Dropout

Well, that went well. Victoria Beckham has announced she is leaving the Spice Girls on the heels of the group's very successful world tour. Posh told a British tabloid she was the impetus to split up the Spice Girls the first time, and now she's anxious to get back to her other career as a fashion designer.

Those in the know (our sister, the Spice Girls super-fan) say Posh never had the strongest voice, so why would she want to stay in the band? She probably just doesn't want to leave David Beckham to be tempting eye candy for the ladies of LA. He's like a British Brad Pitt. But what Posh creations would you wear, if any?

Richard Branson just spoiled our afternoon. Just when we expected the Spice Girls to book tickets on SpiceJet, the girls, whose tour starts in Vancouver December 2, decided to take Virgin Atlantic instead.

It's the second set of high-profile ladies that the Virgin group will be flying around in coming months. Virgin America's hosting the Victoria's Secret angels for a PJ party on November 28. Trying to keep up is Delta, which in lieu of models, has plenty of other news today.
