LA, Chelsea, Cannes … celebrity travel watch

It has been another week of celebrity jet-setting, with parties and award ceremonies at the top of the agenda for many of our favourite A-Listers.

The life of a celebrity is never dull, and it can be hard to keep track of their busy calendar. So, where have the rich and famous been this week?

Los Angeles, USA

The sunshine city is never short on celebs, but there was an extra-high concentration of them this weekend for the Billboard Music Awards.

Unsurprisingly, British singer Adele was one of the big winners on the night. The Someone Like You Singer scooped a bumper 12 awards, including best artist, best album and best female artist.

Adele was one of the few British winners in a ceremony dominated by US artists such as LMFAO and rapper Lil Wayne.

Cannes, France

Cannes, France

The luxury of the Cannes film festival is always a big draw for the glitterati, with big names from across the film industry descending on the French city.

This weekend it was musician Pete Doherty and model Lily Cole’s turn to grace the red carpet. The pair star together in Confession of a Child of the Century, in which Doherty plays the lead role.

Chelsea Flower Show

 

Chelsea, London

This week sees the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show kick off in typically beautiful fashion, with stunning gardens set to wow visitors.

Ahead of the throngs of people flocking to the show this week, the Queen and Prince Philip will get a private tour of the different exhibitions.

Marbella, Spain

 

Marbella, Spain

The Spanish holiday destination of Marbella is usually a favourite with the cast of TOWIE, but this week it was JLS singer JB who graced the city with his presence.

JB, otherwise known as Jonathan, was out enjoying the Spanish sun with his girlfriend and was quick to get his top off for the waiting paparazzi.

Boston – how to spend half a day in The City on a Hill

Boston is a city defined by a rich revolutionary history and world-leading universities. It seems like change and innovation somehow flow through the city’s waters.

But Boston is far from being a quiet, reserved and staid city. Students, creatives and boho-types flock to the Mass capital – many for universities such as Harvard and MIT – not just thriving on the city’s effervescence but positively fueling the energy here.

Boston is particularly gorgeous in the spring and autumn when those lush New England trees are blooming with colour. Sure, you can always check out the city’s slew of museums, galleries, and those infamous Irish pubs, but Boston is perhaps at its loveliest under a bright, strong late spring sun. Here’s a great way to get outdoors in Boston with a half-day itinerary for sun-cravers.

Stop 1: 80 species of plants thrive in Boston’s Public Garden. Tiptoe your way through magnificent circles of tulips (figuratively, of course – straying from the paths is frowned upon) toward Boston Common, a public park popular for grassy sunning, squirrel watching and – if the weather’s right or the Sox have just won – maybe a little barbeque.

Stop 2: From Park Street T station, it’s only a 15-minute walk over to the seemingly endless food corridor in Faneuil Hall Market. Okay, so it’s popular with tourists, but for good reason: go for clam chowder in a bread bowl from Boston Chowda or pick up a few goodies for a picnic overlooking the harbour just outside.

Stop 3: The nearby Rose Kennedy Greenway is Boston’s newest green space, formerly the home of a massive freeway (it took 16 years to put I-93 underground in a project affectionately known to locals as the “Big Dig”). Today, though, it’s a peaceful, 15-acre highway-shaped green belt complete with fountains, a Ferris wheel and benches for sunny day appreciation.
