The original 'Ghostbusters' films were just as much about the laughs as they were about the ghosts, and so when an all-female reboot of the franchise was announced, the casting appeared to be perfect. Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, and Leslie Jones were all proven comedy performers, and so they looked like perfect choices to play the four Ghostbusters. It would seem that at least one of them wasn't a first-choice pick, though. Emma Stone was approached to play a part, and rejected the offer.
Stone is a great actress, but isn't exactly known for her comedic flair. We don't know which part she would have played, but as a major star, it's hard to believe it wouldn't have been one of the lead roles. She says that she thought the script was funny, but didn't want to commit to 'a franchise' at the time. As no franchise emerged, she probably wishes she'd just signed on and showed the world that she knows how to make people laugh.
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.
