We ribbed Pitbull earlier on for mentioning Florida as often as he possibly can in his music, and so we have to do the same to Bruce Springsteen. If aliens monitored the Earth from space by listening to our radio stations, they would know that Bruce Springsteen was from New Jersey. 'The Boss' was born in Long Branch and still lives in the state today - albeit in the more glamorous location of Colt's Neck. He went to Catholic school as a child, although he didn't care much for the strict environment imposed on him by the nuns.
Springsteen's introduction to music was seeing Elvis Presley on television when he was seven. His mother rented him a guitar for six dollars a week, and the youngster began to teach himself how to play it. Subsequent school reports noted that he didn't want to engage with anyone or anything apart from the guitar. He's sold over sixty million records, with his biggest moment in the spotlight coming when President Ronald Reagan hilariously misinterpreted the lyrics of 'Born in the USA' in 1984.
Whether celebrities are looking to be in the spotlight or escape the paparazzi, there are some popular vacation destinations that always seem to be frequented by the stars. Celeb spotting is a favorite pastime of many travelers, and you might be able to snag a photo or even an autograph when you visit these top celebrity vacation spots around the world. Although the price tags may be a bit higher in these destinations than your average budget getaway, these are some of the best celebrity vacation spots that you can start saving up to visit and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a house here, and it’s been a favorite getaway for Gwenyth Paltrow. Some of the local favorites that boast the most celebrity sightings include the Wellies Restaurant and Bar, Puerto Portals, and Es Trenc Beach.
Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
