Positively Star-Studded Summer Destinations

By Randi Niklekaj | September 1, 2008

Fiji

Known for it’s great beaches, relaxation and surfing, Fiji is a celebrity favorite, ABC News reports.  The island is also secluded, offering privacy from press and paparazzi.  In fact, Fiji is famous for “hiding” celebrities from the peering eye of the camera.

Fiji’s luxurious Wakaya Club features a small, eco-friendly “world apart” experience. It’s a “green” full-service spa and hotel, where stars can get pampered. Visitors like Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore and Oprah have all sunbathed on the hot white beaches of Fiji.

Hawaii

Closer to home for L.A. celebrities, the islands have been a huge attraction this summer, ABC news says. 

Helen Hunt, with director beau Matthew Carnahan, played golf, went horse back riding and took in the romantic Hawaii sunsets.

Julia Roberts visited Maui with husband Danny Moder and children Phinnaeus and Hazel in May.  Australian actress, Isla Fisher and fiancé Sacha Baron Cohen with 10-month-old Olive vacationed on the Island, playing in waves.  

It’s not just a place for families though, High School Musical starlet, Ashley Tisdale celebrated her 23rd birthday with dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo here.

Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammer both own houses in Hawaii and often visit their home away from homes.

Q&A: Ashley Tisdale

By Kristen Aldridge | August 3, 2008

Fans know and love this talented singer/actress from all three smash sequel hits “High School Musical”. I caught up with the young star on the red carpet at last year’s American Society of Young Musicians charity event to get the scoop on her new album and new movie.

Kristen Aldridge: Let’s talk about your new album, “Headstrong”. What was the inspiration?

Ashley Tisdale: Nick Lachey’s album “What’s Left of Me” was an inspiration because fans really got to know him and things he was going through. So my album’s also pretty much an open journal. I really want my fans to connect with me.

Kristen Aldridge: Who else do you admire in the industry?

Ashley Tisdale: Jessica Simpson, I think she’s a great talented singer, and Billy Joel, he’s my favorite…what a great writer too.

Kristen Aldridge: You’re such a busy girl…working on your albums, starring in television shows and several new films in the works. What do you like to do in your free time?

Ashley Tisdale: I am a shopaholic! I love Marc Jacobs and Gwen Stefani is amazing with her L.A.M.B. label. Also Bebe, but designer purses are definitely my weakness!

Kristen Aldridge: We’re here tonight for the American Society of Young Musicians charity event. How important do you think events are like this that support young, up and coming performers?

Ashley Tisdale: It’s very cool, especially since I’m in the music industry. It’s great to come out here and support, it’s awesome!
