Talking travel with country star Deana Carter

Nashville born and bred singer Deana Carter has been a staple of the country music scene since 1996, when her debut single “Strawberry Wine” reached No. 1 on the Billboard country charts. She’s had two additional No. 1s and multi-platinum album sales. Her most recent album of classic cover songs, “The Chain,” features a who’s-who of guest stars including Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson and George Jones. We caught up with her recently to talk about life on the road.

Talking travel with Christopher Lowell

Interior decorator Christopher Lowell is famous for his television shows, “It’s Christopher Lowell!,” “Interior Motives” and the “Christopher Lowell Show,” even winning a Daytime Emmy for the latter program. But he’s also appeared on “The Hollywood Squares” and he’s a national brand, with a line of office products at Office Depot and partnerships with Jo-Ann Stores and 3 Day Blinds. Lowell also has written several best-selling books and designed a hotel in Manhattan Beach, Calif. What hasn’t he done? Stopped saying “You can do it!” to anyone who’s listening and stopped jet-setting all over the world to spread his design tips and great sense of humor. We spoke to him recently about his travels.

A chat with Gilbert Gottfried, a miserable guy

Stand-up comic Gilbert Gottfried might be most well-known these days as the incredibly grating voice of the duck on the AFLAC Insurance commercials, but he’s also been in the “Problem Child” movies and “The Aristocrats” and is a fixture on the late-night talk-shows, “Hollywood Squares,” the New York roast circuit and “The Howard Stern Show.”

Read his lips: A chat with Jeff Dunham

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham’s career is taking off. He has been a Comedy Central staple for years, and his two DVDs, “Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself” and “Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity,” have been selling wildly, while his latest tour has been sold out all across America. See him in concert or check out the DVDs and you’ll be introduced to his wooden alter-egos: the crotchety, opinionated senior citizen known as Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Jose, Melvin the Super Hero and Peanut. We caught up with this very busy man recently to talk travel.

Fore! Talking travel with Annika Sorenstam

Golfer Annika Sorenstam has won 70 LPGA tournaments, including 10 majors, plus 18 other international events, and she is far and away the leading money-winner in the tour’s history. She’s the only female golfer to ever shoot 59 in a tournament and she’s made a name for herself off the fairways with golf course design, the Annika golf academy and a charitable foundation.

Dylan Lauren finds the sweet spots

Dylan Lauren is known as the daughter of famous designer Ralph Lauren, but she’s also a celebrity entrepreneur in her own right as the owner of the growing, increasingly popular Dylan’s Candy Bar franchise, which has six U.S. locations, including the flagship shop in New York City. As a seeker of all things sweet, Lauren has traveled all around the world. We caught up with her just in time for Valentine’s Day to talk about candy and travel and how the two mix.

How to travel like a rock star

Joe Elliott is the charismatic frontman of the ubiquitous British radio rock band known as Def Leppard, who scored huge hits in the 1980s with mega-albums "Pyromania" and "Hysteria." The band will be back with their latest album, "Songs From the Sparkle Lounge", on March 18. They’re scheduled begin a tour with Styx and REO Speedwagon starting March 27 in Greensboro, N.C., and their first single off the new album, “Nine Lives,” features country star Tim McGraw. We caught up with Elliott by phone recently and talked about his favorite places to travel.

Thank goodness for famous divas and rock 'n' roll train wrecks. They're the sort of hotel clients who make us feel better about ourselves after we've pestered the concierge for last-minute Broadway tickets or complained about too-firm pillows.
