When the rich and famous need an escape from the oppressive adoration of us dull normals, they tend to spare no expense to head somewhere exclusive, where the premium is on personal privacy.
Of course, with a few exceptions, these fabulous destinations are open to just about anyone who can pony up the cash. So even the little people can live it up celebrity style if they so choose. Here are some of the best places in the world to vacation like a star.
Saint-Tropez, France
If the French Riviera is a playground for the wealthy, Saint-Tropez is the rumpus room. Ever since Brigitte Bardot’s heyday, Europe’s elite has had a torrid love affair with the place. What makes one location so desirable for so long? Who knows? Whatever it is, Saint-Tropez has held that mysterious allure ever since the Invasion of Normandy. The beaches are gorgeous enough, the hotels swanky and the yachts oh-so secretive - not to mention bigger than your house.

Made famous by Hollywood hit film “The Sound of Music” the former home of the von Trapp family is being turned into a hotel. The hotel is to be named “The Villa Trapp hotel” and visitors to the hotel will be able to sleep in the family’s former bedrooms or get married in the chapel. The hotel and surrounding park just outside Salzburg, Austria, will open to the public in July and will cost around 100 euros (£80) a night.
The von Trapp family lived in the house from 1923 before fleeing the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938. In 1956 the true story of Maria, the aspiring Nun who sang her way into the hearts of Baron von Trapp and his seven children was made into a movie based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
At least it is going to be made into something that people can use for years to come that fans of the film can visit, unlike quite a lot of the set used in the movie “Dirty Dancing” which was flattened to make way for a golf course apparently.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND (USA): home to the first lighthouse on the Pacific Coast
Alcatraz Island sometimes referred to as just Alcatraz or The Rock. This is a small island which can be found in the middle of San Francisco Bay in California, United States. It once served as a lighthouse, then a military fort, then a military prison followed by a federal prison until 1963, when it became a national recreation area. The first European to discover the island was Juan de Ayala in 1775, who charted the San Francisco Bay and named the island “La Isla de los Alcatraces”, which means “Island of the Pelicans”. (more…)
Queen are said to be releasing their first studio album for 13 years, this will their first album without the vocals of Frontman and legend Freddie Mercury. The last albumthey released “Made in Heaven” was in 1995 and featured material written and recorded by Freddie Mercury before he died in 1991.
The new album named “The Cosmos Rocks” will feature ex-Free singer Paul Rodgers, who has replaced Mercury in the band’s live shows and the band have also announced a Queen and Paul Rodgers 14-nation European tour, starting in September which will include UK dates in Nottingham, Glasgow, London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Liverpool as well as dates in Russia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Hungary, Serbia, the Czech Republic and Austria.
But the burning question in my mind is:
Should Queen Return With A New Album?
My answer to that would be a definate “NO”, personally I think they should have give it up when Freddie died, after all he was the character that was Queen! I mean it’s hardly as if they need the money is it??
