Looking like a typical American family on vacation in Europe, Nicole Richie and her musician husband Joel Madden and their kids Harlow and Sparrow took in the local sights. They did all the touristy stuff – sailed on a yacht, had a carousel ride, ate some ice cream, shopped, and took plenty of photos of each other.

Looks like Christina Applegate will slip into Beverly D’Angelo’s shoes in the reboot of the 1980s family comedy Vacation. Ed Helms of Bachelor Party fame is signed to play the Chevy Chase “Dad” role. The reboot will be updated in that the son Rusty (originated by Anthony Michael Hall) now grown up and married, will take his wife and kids on a vacation similar to the one he remembers with his family in the 80’s. Ed Helms will play the grown up Rusty and Christina will play his restless wife. The original Vacation was written by John Hughes and directed by Harold Ramis – it will be interesting to compare the two.

Madonna aims to keep her young boyfriend happy. She’s made a yearly event out of flying his family from Marseilles to the exclusive Hotel du Cap in the French Riviera for ten days in August. Brahim Zaibat, was happy to see his mother Patricia Vidal, 47, (seven years younger than Madonna) and his cousins all together for a vacation. Madonna was there with her four children, Lourdes, Rocco, David and Mercy. Brahim lives in New York now with Madonna and she knows he misses seeing his family. These yearly weekends usually cost well over $100,000. Lourdes reportedly has a crush on one of Brahim’s cousins.

Heads turn in the streets of St Tropez as proud daddies Elton John and Neil Patrick Harris vacation together with their partners and kids. Elton and David Furnish are pushing their son Zachary in a stroller while Neil and David Burtka roll with their twins Harper and Gideon. The two families are enjoying a visit in the fashionable seaside town while the little boys have a long play date. Looks like fun. Did Elton have his hair highlighted to look like Zachary?

We had to laugh when we saw this top photo of Angelina and two kids plus four nannies arriving for a family vacation in the Galapagos Islands. Someone posted this on Twitter. The Jolie-Pitts had four nannies and two bodyguards along for the trip, but they have the sense to jump out of the frame when photographers are visible -as in the shot below. It always looks like Brad and Angelina are struggling to hold on to all the ones without help. They’re staying in an exclusive oceanfront house at the five star Royal Palm Hotel Galapagos (last photo) with a separate little garden house for the help.
Madonna is bending over backwards to please the family of her young boyfriend Brahim Zaibat,24. She’s determined to win over Brahim’s mother Patricia Vidal, 45, who is eight years younger than Madonna is. Madonna made a huge mistake awhile back when she insisted that Brahim attend Kabbalah meetings with her. Since he and his family are Muslim, he refused, and a problem developed but Madonna got over it. She invited Brahim’s mother and five of his cousins for a week’s vacation at the ultra-posh Hotel Du Cap in the South of France. Suites there start at around three thousand dollars a night. Everything was on Madonna and the two families got to know each other and lived it up like millionaires before Madonna moved on to the Venice Film Festival. Needless to say, she won them over.
Teflon John Travolta spent the week before Christmas with a bunch of male friends at the Stowe Mountain Lodge in Vermont and his wife Kelly Preston had no objection. When Scientologist John and his buddies weren’t skiing they were getting spa treatments and massages or indulging at all-guy dinners at the luxurious lodge. (It sounds like a slumber party!) Travolta’s all-male getaways are nothing new – in August he partied with eight male friends in Las Vegas. (To his credit John DID spend Christmas with Kelly, Ella, and new baby Benjamin.) Travolta continues to ignore the allegations Robert Randolph made in The Enquirer that he had gay encounters in steam rooms and health spas.

You don’t often see Janet Jackson in a gold bikini vacationing at a sexy hideaway with an Arabic boyfriend, but she seems to be getting out a lot more these days. Janet and her Qatar businessman boyfriend Wissam Al Mana are spending lazy days in the sunshine in Sardinia, Italy, at a private pool. The pair have been keeping company since last December when they were seen together in Paris. Wissam, 35, comes from a wealthy family in –what else- the oil business.

You don’t see photos of Jay Leno vacationing at tropical islands or golf resorts. When he’s traveling, it’s usually on weekends from one comedy gig to another. But he’s got the whole summer off before he starts hosting his new talk show in September, so he took his wife Mavis to Europe. Above, they were photographed leaving the theater district in London. Mavis seems to be having a good time.
