World's Best Places to Visit

Sometimes, when the travel bug strikes, the only cure is to pack your bags and go. But where to? U.S. News Travel ranks the top vacation destinations around the globe. Our list includes exotic islands, gigantic metropolises, and world-class historical sites. Vote for your favorites and see which spots rise to the top. 

NO1.

London

Why Go: The UK's capital city is a world unto itself. With eclecticneighborhoods and numerous landmarks, London requires several days (if not years) to get to know. That said, your inaugural visit (as you will certainly be coming back for more) should include trips to the Tower of London and the British Museum. But if you have more time, hit up Portobello Road and Borough Market to appreciate the local culture. 

NO2.

Barcelona

Why Go: Known around the world for its legendary fútbol team, Barcelona boasts much more than just athletic talent. Touring the city is a feast for the eyes: Visitors walk past medieval architecture in the Barri Gotic and the innovative creations of Gaudi in Parc Güell. Matching Paris' Notre Dame with its own Sagrada Familia, Barcelona puts itself near the top of this list with a fun-loving spirit and creative ambition. 

NO3.

Paris

Why Go: Year after year, the magnetic City of Lights draws new travelers to its Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre Dame—but Paris also keeps experienced travelers coming back for more. See, there's always a new Michelin-rated restaurant to try, a new exhibit to see at the Centre Pompidou or a new shop in which to swipe your credit card. And we can't discount Paris' je ne sais quoi charm that's unexplainable but also unmistakeable.

Courtney Stodden Searching for "Chris Hemsworth-Type" for Music Video Debut

Courtney Stodden is on the hunt—for the guy starring in her music video, that is.

E! News exclusively learns that the teen bride is casting her romantic male lead for the music video for the song "Reality," and she has a very specific idea of what she wants this mystery man to look like.

"He has to be attractive. She's looking for aChris Hemsworth-type look," her momager, Krista Keller, tells us. "She's excited! She's able to choose somebody who she feels is going to be perfect for that spot. She's gotten a big response to the casting call."

Stodden's singing debut at The Abbey canceled

The video will be directed by Michael Serrato, who Keller says brings a "controversial edge" to the project.

"It will be an interesting combination. It will be an iconic video that will be very edgy. It will be both of their creativity together," Keller says. "'Reality' is such a hot song, their collaboration will really help the song come alive."

She couldn't say much about the video (gotta keep it a surprise!), but she assures fans that Courtney's outfits will also deliver.

"She's had a lot of people step up and want to dress her for this. Everyone wants to dress her! So she's going to have her choice of a ton of looks," Keller says.

Are you excited to see Stodden's music video? Sound off in the comments!

NEWS/New Couple Alert? Dancing With the Stars Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy Cozy Up in New York City!

JT/INFphoto.com

Dancing With the Stars partners Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy had undeniable sexual chemistry on the show, but could it be that the steamy connection from the ballroom floor has made its way into a full-on relationship outside of reality TV?

The smiling duo were spotted linking arms together in New York City this morning, possibly giving fans what they'd been hoping for since the first episode of this last season—a Kelly and Val love affair.

Did you read our backstage scoop from the DWTS finale?

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Monaco tweeted, "Thank you all so much for your support throughout the past few months. I had such an amazing time. GMA tomorrow with @iamValC and crew!!!" Darn it!

Kelly cleared up the relationship rumors last night during the finale of Dancing With the Stars.

"Listen, I hope everybody can have friendships like this," she told Brooke Burke-Charvet, who actually asked what was going on between them. "I mean, this is what it is. It's a foundation of an amazing friendship. I know you're laughing, but it's true!"

"This is what it is: It's unconditional love for each other, whatever that label is," Val further explained. "It doesn't have to be boyfriend-and-girlfriend. It's a relationship that I cherish. She can rely on me and I know I can rely on her."

Are you still secretly hoping this couple becomes an actual couple? Let us know in the comments!

NEWS/Celeb-Favorite Stella McCartney Wins Designer of the Year at British Fashion Awards 2012

It was a big night at the British Fashion Awards on Tuesday, and today we're toasting them from across the pond! Most notably, one of our fashion favorites Stella McCartney won top honors as Designer of the Year in London last night.

Recognized for her incredibly stylish contributions to the fashion community thanks to her head-turning designs that feature streamlined silhouettes, sexy cutouts and flirty feminine details, McCartney has certainly made her mark on countless red carpets over the years.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Edie Falco and Brooklyn Decker wear iconic Stella McCartney gown 

Her innovative talent is a hit among the Hollywood set (Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Jessica Chastain and Kate Bosworth are just a few of her many fans), so we're not surprised she walked away with the highest accolade of the event.

As if that weren't impressive enough, she also received the Designer Brand award on behalf of her eponymous label, and we have a hunch the best is yet to come!

Party Hair: 6 Ponytail Hairstyles

Easy dressy hair style tips for the holidays.

Of all the party hair you can do, ponytail hairstyles are some of the easiest (and most youthful.)

Forget stiff updos this holiday season: try these pontail hair style tips for the freshest looks.

Not only are ponytails for longer hair, even women with shorter hair can get the same look with a quick, clip-on hair extension (available at local beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty Supply.)

Here are 6 variations on the standard ponytail, all perfect over 40:

• High ponytail. This sassy style gives you lots of youthful appeal (and a ponytail serves as an instant facelift!)
• Low ponytail.  Instantly chic and flattering, the low ponytail is perfect for even your dressiest events.
• Hair-wrapped ponytail. Forget scrunchies or visible hair gadgets: the hair-wrapped ponytail is a more sophisticated approach.
• Side ponytail. For a fun twist, try a trendy side ponytail this party season.
• Assorted ponytails. Try ponytail hairstyles with volume and more fun variations.
• Braided ponytail. The fishtail braided ponytail is something fresh and new this season.

How to Get Ready for Christmas?!

Have you ever loved Christmas but you didn't know how to get ready for it? It is easy when you tackle it in an organized and methodical manner. Here are some suggestions to help ease the holiday stress.

Step 1:
About two months in advance, start organizing a Christmas gift list. Write down tentative gifts for family and friends.
Step 2:
Start a Christmas Club account at a bank or credit union. Bank the Christmas gift money and then shop in late November to early December before the Christmas shopping rush hits.
Step 3:
In November, purchase and start writing Christmas cards. Write a Christmas newsletter. In the US check for mailing dates. In general most letters and packages must be sent by late December for first class mail for domestic locations. Military postings should be sent in early December.

Step 4:
Decorate the house with holiday decorations in early December. Some people like to put some of the Christmas decorations by late November, but if this is done try to keep the decorations low key. Add more Christmas decorations as Christmas gets closer.
Step 5:
Decorate your house. Put up lots of lights both inside and outside. Use commercial and handmade decorations inside the house, especially in the living room area where everybody will gather. Don't neglect the dining room - there should be such things as Christmas themed candle holders and wreath decorations.
Step 6:
Bake cookies as needed. Make sure to make these by hand. Share cookies with friends.
Step 7:
Plan a cookie exchange in December.
Step 8:
Approximately one week before Christmas purchase perishable food stuffs. Leave enough time to defrost the turkey, if preparing.
Step 9:
Put up your Christmas tree. Some folks like to put up the tree on Christmas Eve some do not. It all depends on family traditions.
Step 10:
Decorate your tree with ornaments, tinsel and lights, placing a special star on top of the tree.
Step 11:
Spray the inside of the windows with the artificial snow.
Step 12:
Search the Internet or library for Christmas carol sheet music. Get the music from CDs or by downloading and practice singing Christmas carols for Christmas Eve.
Step 13:
Go caroling. On Christmas Eve, use your practiced singing to delight the neighbors. Be careful not to sing to the wrong people.
Step 14:
Make Christmas baked goodies. Cookies, Christmas cake, stollen and other delights.
Step 15:
Frost some Gingerbread Men with family and/or friends.
Step 16:
Purchase an advent calendar. Use it from December 1st.
Step 17:
Invite friends over for a holiday meal or party.
Step 18:
Leave a plate of cookies near the fireplace on Christmas Eve.
Step 19:
Be sure to place treasured bulbs out of reach of children and pets.

Step 20:
Drink eggnog with or without rum!
