Feeling like flying? On Tuesday, Southwest Airlines announced a one-way fare sale that will allows travelers to purchase tickets for less than it cost to eat out at a four-star restaurant.

The cheap flights must be booked by 11:59AM MDT Friday @ www.southwest.com. The fares are good travel between December 2, 2009 and December 16, 2009 or between January 5, 2010 and February, 10 2010. Travel is valid every day except Sundays. Fare does not include local and federal fees and charges.
Southwest cautions that seats are limited, especially to destinations in Florida and Las Vegas. Special fares may not be offered on busy days such as the Super Bowl in Miami.

Posted on 02. May, 2009 by CSS.
Samantha? Samantha Who?
Less than a week after Lindsay Lohan was caught in a pair of secret meetings with former girlfriend Samantha Ronson, the Mean Girls star is being romantically linked to a new older man! LiLo, 22, is reportedly seeing 36-year-old computer whiz Ben Holtz.
Lindsay first prompted rumors that she’s moved on from Ronson on Tuesday, when snapping shutterbugs captured a few photos of her frolicking with Ben on a beach in Maui.
RadarOnline writes: Though Lohan has typically gone for DJs, actors and musicians in the past, her latest companion is an entrepreneur whose latest venture is a Web-based tech company called PeekEez.com. Holz, a Carnegie Mellon grad, is currently based in Seattle, WA, but previously owned a couple of internet cafes on the Hawaiian island.

Matt Damon Shirtless On Vacation With His Beautiful Family!
Posted on 18. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
These photos are a double treat in that we get to see Matt Damon without his shirt on along with what I believe is the first glimpse of his six month-old daughter, Gia Zavala. Damon, his wife Luciana and their daughters Gia, Isabella, two and a half, and Alexia (from Luciana’s first marriage) were spotted on vacation in the Caribbean on Monday. Damon was seen drinking a beer and watching his daughters play on the beach.
Damon, 38, gained from 20-30 pounds last summer for his role as a conflicted executive in the true-life drama The Informant. In order to gain weight quickly for the role, Damon said that he stopped working out, drank a lot of beer and ate burgers. He admitted that it was easier to gain weight in his late 30s than when he was in was in his 20s.
Damon had to lose weight quickly after that role as he needed to re-shoot scenes for his film The Green Zone in September. He seems to have gained some of the weight back, but he’s still super hot looking and looks great. It looks like he had a relaxing vacation with his family over Valentine’s Day weekend.
Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors, I will watch anything that he does! In 2009 I have four Matt Damon movies to look forward to as well as the much anticipated fourth instalment in the Jason Bourne series, scheduled to hit theatres 2010!

The Cast Of 'The Hills' Hits Hawaii Sunset Beach
Posted on 17. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Opting for a change of scenery from their usual SoCal digs, the cast of “The Hills” was spotted enjoying a day at Sunset Beach in Hawaii yesterday (February 16).
Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner, and the whole gang (except for Heidi and Spencer) spent their afternoon filming scenes for an upcoming episode, with the boys attempting some surfing while the girls hung out and chatted.
Coming up this April, “The Hills” Season 5 is scheduled to begin airing on MTV, and a big development in the plotline was recently mentioned.
During the February 2nd airing of “The After Show” for “The City,” it was announced that LC would be getting a new co-worker at People’s Revolution- Stephanie Pratt will replace Whitney Port as Conrad’s confidant and partner-in-crime.
I thought we had already established that Lauren didn’t really work their, that it was her fauxjob…

Jake Gyllenhaal Plans "Romantic" Egyptian Getaway With Reese Witherspoon
Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
The rumor-mill is working overtime in Britain – the gossip is that Jake Gyllenhaal has decided to propose (or has already proposed) to Reese Witherspoon during an exotic Egyptian getaway.
According to the British travel agency with whom Jake made the arrangements, Jake organized a private jet to take Reese to the pyramids, the Luxor and a private viewing of a newly-discovered mummy. Yikes, maybe it’s not so romantic? A mummy doesn’t really say “marry me”. The Sunday Telegraph has more:
While Reese Witherspoon no doubt enjoyed a Valentine’s gift or two from Jake Gyllenhaal, the Hollywood actress can look forward to an even more romantic treat.
[The] couple, who did not confirm that they were a couple until November, are to be taken on a romantic holiday to Egypt amid rumours that Gyllenhaal may be planning to propose.
“I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend,” said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company’s private travel office at Harrods. “They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience.”
Gyllenhaal, 28, lived in Notting Hill with Miss Witherspoon, 32, while filming Prince of Persia.
-From The Telegraph
Last week, an interview with Reese came out in Parents magazine, and Reese admitted that her kids think she’s totally embarrassing. I pointed out that not many “embarrassing” moms get to do the dirty with Jake Gyllenhaal. It seems like this Egypt trip might be something more than just romance – think about it, wouldn’t little kids love to see the pyramids? Won’t Deacon love to see a mummy? Perhaps Jake planned a family vacation, not a romantic one.
On a side-note: It must really suck to be that famous that as soon as you book a trip with your travel agent the entire world knows about it!
