It’s hard these days for celebrities to get away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. It seems like there is a photographer lurking on every Caribbean beach, with a long-range lens to snap Bey on a private yacht or Orlando Bloom kayaking half a mile from shore. It’s not surprising that celebs aren’t sharing where their next vacation spot is when they are on the red carpet, as they’d probably like some time out of the spotlight. However, there are some places where they can get away from it all, and these three famous ladies have shared where.
Chrissy Teigen - Lake Como, Italy
Model, mom, and co-host of Lip Sync Battle, Chrissy Teigen, mentioned just how much she loves Lake Como. The Italian region has welcomed many other celebrities, including Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and of course, George Clooney. However, for Teigen, it is much more than just a holiday spot, as she married her love, John Legend there in September 2013. She said in a recent interview that the food is incredible near Lake Como. recently revealed that for her, there's no place quite like Lake Como in Italy, and the place will always have sentimental value for her.
Jennifer Aniston - Cabo San Lucas
Jennifer Aniston has a string of movie hits to her name, and of course, became a star playing Rachel in Friends. She can probably book a holiday anywhere she likes, but she favors the One and Only Palmilla resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She has been snapped there with her famous buddies, Courtney Cox and Jason Bateman. She has partied there for New Year too.
Demi Lovato - Kenya
Pop superstar Demi Lovato definitely needs a vacation sometimes. They have had a turbulent life, and have learned the importance of taking proper breaks. They visited Kenya in Africa for charity work, and worked with the WE movement to empower women and children in the country. Fans were delighted that Demi shared some images of her dressed in traditional Maasai costume, as it’s unlikely a photographer would have snapped her in the country.

The Outdoor Art Project in the Swiss Alps
Art is subjective, and some may describe it as beautiful while others find it not to their taste. The artist can explain it but that isn’t necessarily how the viewer will accept it. For some people, they think that art simply hangs in galleries, that it is painted or sculpted. The truth is that art can be much simpler, or indeed more complicated. It can be made of many textures and colors, and sometimes none at all.
Brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin attended art school separately, with one heading to Zurich and the other to Berlin. However, they have come back together to create art, and share a studio on the top floor of a factory that once housed textiles. Their Swiss Atelier für Sonderaufgaben is located in St. Gallen near Lake Constance. One of their most interesting works in the past few years is a hotel perched on a Swiss mountain.
Wait, is that a hotel or is it art? To them, it is both, and indeed to the 4,500 people on the waiting list in 2017 - it seems that interpretations don’t really matter. The project is called Null Stern and it is a hotel room without walls or a roof.
The view is spectacular, of course. Those who stay there sleep in a comfortable queen bed, as seen in the photo, and breakfast is delivered by a local farmer, who comes clad in a tuxedo but wears mountain boots. The bathroom is an inconvenient ten minutes away. It is located in Appezellerland, overlooking the Safien Valley. There is an alternative if the weather turns bad, but then it is no longer sleeping in a work of art. Perhaps the experience is moving art?
The brothers have not just created this bedroom, but also made installations in other public spaces.
