Puttin' On the Ritz - Celebrity Honeymooners in Paris

Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world. No wonder it's a top honeymoon destination. Newlyweds Isla Fischer and Sacha Baron Cohen spent their honeymoon in the Coco Chanel Suite at The Ritz in Paris. Sure, their lavish two-bedroom enclave was once inhabited by the fashion designer, but the lovebirds probably had something else on their minds. Controversial couple, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, also stayed at The Ritz during their honeymoon. In fact, love addicts can bed down in a suite where Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper flirted while shooting Love in the Afternoon.

Feel like cashing in on all the romance? GE is giving away $20,000 in their GE Appliance Cash Sweepstakes. That's enough cash for a trip to Paris. Get ritzy and enter.

Woody Allen's Love Letter to Paris

It's isn't even Valentine's Day, and Woody Allen has already finished what's being described as his love letter to Paris, Midnight in Paris. Set in the 1920s, this romantic film was shot all over Paris last summer. It centers around a couple who are transformed by their business trip to the French capital. Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, and Adrien Brody are just a few of the cast members in this romantic comedy, destined to kick off the Cannes Film Festival in May. Mais oui, even first French lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, makes an appearance.

Going Wilde With Olivia in Paris

Olivia Wilde, who is currently shooting Welcome to the People in Los Angeles, left the House and popped into Paris for a quick trip this week. On her "To Do List": the Giorgio Armani Privé fashion show. Wilde, decked out in a glittering gold and silver Armani dress, sat in the front row, along with Jodie Foster, at the Espace Vendome, where spacey metallic hats and bright, shiny gowns beamed on the runway.

Another night, Wilde glammed it up in Gucci at the Vogue dinner hosted by Carine Roitfeld in honor of Gucci's Creative Director, Frida Giannini, at Hotel de la Rochefoucauld Doudeauville.

Wilde has been on a wild working spree. Besides Welcome to the People, she's also shot Now, The Change-Up, and Cowboys & Aliens.

Sharing Sharon Stone's Paris

This month, Sharon Stone was in Paris for the premiere of her new action adventure film, The Burma Conspiracy, which is known as Largo Winch II in France. The film is slated to open in Belgium on February 16th.

Stone explored the best the City of Light had to offer. Dining at Le Gourmet Des Ternes (The bistro has already posted a picture of her hugging the owner that night!), staying at the Ritz Hotel, and lunching at La Société, were just a few of her highlights. She also shopped at Louis Vuitton, Chopard, Prada, Roger Vivier and Hermès.

Sure, Stone causes a sensation wherever she goes in France, but she really made headlines when she graced the cover of Paris Match - topless - when she was over 50. And, no, we aren't having a senior moment. Click here to see the cover.

Is exploring Paris and dining at some fabulous French restaurants at the center of your dreams? Or, would you rather be a senior cover girl? No matter what you long to do, Lindor Truffles is giving away $5,000 to help fulfill it in their Lindor Lovers Dreams Sweepstakes. Forget about counting calories and enter this delicious contest.

Reese Witherspoon's Paris Pieces

Reese Witherspoon was spotted dining in Paris with her How Do You Know co-star, Paul Rudd, at an Italian bistro called Le Cherche Midi on Thursday night. The next day, Reese hit the retail warpath, making the rounds of Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Chanel, and Giambattista Valli. Since her boyfriend, CAA agent, Jim Toth, proposed over Christmas with a huge 4-carat Ashoka cut diamond and platinum ring, reportedly worth over $250,000, odds are Reese may be shopping for a wedding dress... but, how do you know?

My Chemical Romance: Paris

Paris is my chemical romance. Just the thought of strolling along the Seine, sipping chocolat chaud at Angelina, and gazing at Monet's garden changes the chemistry in my brain. Music can do the same thing. Mix the band My Chemical Romance with Paris, and heaven help us.

This is the best day ever! Yup, KROQ is sending one listener and a friend to see My Chemical Romance in Paris on March lst at Casino de Paris. No, Kevin and Bean aren't pranking you. We're talking a trip to France, specifically: round trip airfare for two, a minimum of two night’s hotel stay, two tickets to see My Chemical Romance in Paris, and $500 spending cash! Go on, sing! But do it before the contest closes on January 14th.

There are two ways to enter. If you're a KROQ listener, like moi, be caller 20 when the DJ tells you to call in to 800-520-1067. Or, bop along to the link below. Warning: this isn't your typical contest, so it's going to take a bit more than filling out the usual form.

Welcome to the black parade. Crawl on over and enter.
