Tara Reid stepped out at the Bacara Resort & Spa, a celebrity favorite in Santa Barbara, on Saturday. She hit up one of the resort's three main pools to show off her ever-improving frankentummy, which was until recently seriously scary due to some crap liposuction job.

The resort has extensive spa and fitness facilities, but we know you doubt she used them. Yes, the Bacara also has a restaurant, Miro, with a huge, award-winning wine cellar. Much more Tara's speed, and the opportunity to drink in peace is only 95 miles from L.A.

Nick Lachey Checks it Out at Bacara

Long distance lovebirds Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo took some time off last weekend to get away together.  The two shacked up at Santa Barbara's nicest resort: Bacara.  They spent the day in one of the 26 private cabanas, occasionally taking a dip in one of the resort's three infinity pools. Not too shabby.

Vanessa was spotted catching some rays while Nick was spotted doing his usual, checkin' out whatever T&A was in sight. We can only wonder what he's thinking about...Jessica? Jessica who?

Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick Take a Break from Tennis at Bacara

How many lame jokes can we make about tennis matches or game, set, love in telling you about Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick's lovers' getaway?  The king and queen of tennis took a break at the Bacara Resort outside of Santa Barbara, a beachfront property than earns highly varied reviews.  The concept is fantastic, but some visitors believe the service doesn't equal the rather high price tag.

Still, it's a popular resort of celebrities and other A-listers who want to spend all weekend in a caban or on a massage table (the spa is a centerpiece).  It's also a place for L.A. parents to send their kids, accompanied by nannies, of course.  We know of at least one industry dad who sent his two daughters there every weekend with their nanny, with wads of cash and instructions to give the little ladies whatever they desired.  The staff is made up primarily of UCSB students, and no Gaucho was shocked to hear that David Hasselfhoff "cut himself" "shaving" in a hotel recently.  The man has been tearing up Bacara suites for years, ravaging furniture and savaging the minibar.

Sienna Miller and Jude Law's Santa Barbara Getaway

Where: 8301 Hollister Ave [map], Santa Barbara, CA, United States, 93117

On-again off-again British twosome Sienna Miller and Jude Law (God, will she just find someone else already??) reportedly just hit California's gorgeous Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara for a little R&R and "couple time." (Read: bingeing, purging, and humping)

Apparently the two were looking for a little "summer lovin'" at the resort. We're sure that Jude managed to screw it up somehow amidst the 78-acres of private beaches and  Frette-linen adorned balcony-rooms.

We'll keep you posted as to where the petite pair will surface to make up next.

Luxury Camping at El Capitan

Where: 11560 Calle Real [map], Santa Barbara, CA, United States, 93117

We know, we know...we bagged on TomKat for requesting a specialized tent and all, but it would be fun to go camping and not have to deal with soggy sleeping bags and re-heated canned Campbell's. Some of you guys must feel the same...

The folks at Outside magazine seem to agree with us. In their July issue they've rounded up some of the best luxury campsites like El Capitan Canyon in Santa Barbara, CA that boasts 'safari tents' complete with queen size beds and down comforters as well as personal firepits. During the high season (May-Oct.), a safari tent will run you $135 a night.

Hey, we never said we didn't have a dash of high maintenance to us.
