It's almost a little sad to look at this picture now. This little girl is so full of life and hope - her eyes are sparkling so much that they practically burst out of the screen at you. The young Amy Winehouse appeared to be a happy, smiling child of the type that any parent would love to have. The hair is a little all over the place, but Winehouse was always something of a trendsetter when it came to hair. She single-handedly made the beehive fashionable again, and who would have thought that was possible?
Tragically, we all know how Winehouse's story ends. She struggled with alcohol and drug issues her whole adult life, and her body gave up on her when she was only 27. She left behind a legacy of heartbreakingly beautiful and candidly honest songs, most of which are contained on the legendary album 'Back to Black.' She was controversial, outspoken, outrageous, and never sorry for a second of it. Winehouse's life was a wild ride, and she's still very much missed today.
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.
