vacation

Frustrated by the tunnel traffic in Mobile Alabama when you're on the way to the beach? Here are the quick and easy directions around that bottle neck.

What is spring break without a trip to the beach? As Louisiana's colleges gear up for the warm weather migration, here are some facts about beaching it that you might not know.

It was literally a scene straight out of the movie "The Shining". However, the cause of this macabre event takes this story to a tragic new level.

A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise’s fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited. This would be the end, the experts said, of a franchise that has kept Cruise’s career surging forward for the past two decades. Well, that was apparently a big load of crap because Rogue Nation opened well and opened in the same ballpark as the rest of the franchise. Even with inflation differences, this series keeps on hitting the same box office sweet spot.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

What are the top vacation fantasies we all share, according to a survey they include getting an upgrade, romantic dinners, and time on the beach with our partner.

The new Vacation may bear the same name as the old Vacation, but it’s actually a sequel, taking place a few decades after the first ill-fated Griswold family trip to Walley World. The first trailer for this new version has arrived and while it has the same title and premise as its predecessor, it bends over backwards to let you know that Ed Helms is the same Rusty Griswold from 32 years ago, all grown up. Can we call this a rebootquel?

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are vacationing together in Croatia and they don't seem to be hiding the fact. Both have been tweeting the same photos of sunsets and Anderson event tweeted a photo of Cohen in front of a lake and mountains.

Queen Britney Spears took to her Twitter recently to share with the world a little slice of her vacation in Hawaii with her boys Jaden and Preston, and uh, we’re kind of jealous.

Yesterday, Chris Reed showed me one of the saddest videos I have seen in a very long time. I'll take it a step further and admit that it actually pissed me off, and I could only watch a few minutes of it before having to turn it off. The video featured 68-year-old bus monitor Karen Klein being verbally abused by a group of hateful middle school kids as they rode home from their Greece, NY middle s

Oh, the life of a Kardashian. Lounging on yachts worth millions, sipping on champagne and bouncing their money-makers (literally) in exotic waters were all on the agenda when the entire Kardashian Klan took a recent trip out to the Dominican Republic. They also found time during their free time to record a lip dub to Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Hypnotize.'

In January 2012, after touring non-stop and dropping a new album, Rihanna took a much-needed vacation in Hawaii. The ‘Where Have You Been’ songstress just shared pictures from her Hawaiian beach adventure on her official Facebook page, and there’s some sexy pictures of the Bajan skinny dipping and posing in sultry position whilst soaking up the sun’s rays.

I saw a recent article that actually suggested that in order for movie theaters to stay in business, they MUST allow the use of cell phones during movies. The reasoning? Because "kids will set the agenda for the multiplex business in the coming years," and if theaters don't allow them to talk, text and tweet, they will ultimately lose their business and eventually fold.

If you haven't heard the news, Rihanna is on vacation. When she isn't smoking funny smelling looking things, she is sexing it up on her Twitter account (@rihanna). Over the last 48 hours Rihanna has unleashed numerous photos of herself in skimpy bikinis and putting her bad girl image on full display.

I've lived in Louisiana my entire life, but there's still plenty of places I haven't had the chance to visit. Many years ago, I remembered hearing about the regatta in Lake Arthur and how much fun it was, but for one reason or another, never made it.

Well it's my final day here in Jamaica at Beaches Boscobel Resort & Golf Club, the all inclusive family vacation. I'm sad to go, but happy to get back to Lafayette and share my experiences with all of my friends and family, including all of you that listen to me everyday! Last night we had a farewell dinner that was TONS of fun.

Well, Day 2 of my vacation here at Beaches Boscobel Resort & Golf Club has come and gone, and let us just say there were a LOT of 'firsts.' I am no longer a virgin in the massage world. My girlfriend convinced me to get a couples massage, and of course, I gave in. (Hey, When In Rome, right?) Now that I have explored the world of tissue rubbing, I'll definitely be looking around Lafayette for m
