Absolutely beautiful…

As we reported, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Roxxxy Andrews — along with Kenya Michaels — was at Pulse the night Omar Mateen killed 49 people using an AR-15 assault rifle.

Luckily, both performers survived.

What makes the event even more tragic was that Pulse was Andrews’ home club, where he performed for ten years.

On Wednesday, the drag queen got a tattoo to honor the victims, many of whom were his friends.

He posted the (above) pic with the caption:

“Never forget my pulse… Or the fallen your hearts will beat on me forever. R.I.P”

This is so incredibly touching!

Our thoughts and prayers go to everyone affected by this horrible tragedy.

If you could go wherever you want on vacation, where would you go? Consider taking a tip from some of our favorite celebs and visiting their top destinations. From birthdays to holidays and honeymoons, these 4 spots top celebrity vacation lists.

Or, if you’re like most of us and fancy resorts aren’t in your price range, you can at least use the list to start a betting pool – Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna just got engaged, surely they’ll head somewhere special to celebrate.

Best For Beach Bums

Let’s be honest – who hasn’t dreamed of lying on the beach in Saint-Tropez? This beautiful French village, part of the French Riviera, features crystal blue waters and a gorgeous landscape that attracts everyone from Keanu Reeves to Beyonce and the Beckhams. Although technically part of the mainland, Saint Tropez will make you feel like you’ve gone to an island without quite so much isolation. You could even hop up to Nice if you wanted to – but why would you want to when you could stay lounging on the beach?

Ski Bunnies’ Choice

While Colorado is home to some of the best skiing in the U.S., if you’re looking for something a little bit different, join the likes of Heidi Klum and Hugh Jackman in Whistler, British Columbia. Whistler was home to the 2010 Winter Olympics so you can be sure the skiing is superb. You’ll need a little more gear for this trip than for a beach vacation though, so don’t pack at the last minute – you’ll want time to weatherproof your gear, polish your skiis, and dig out your goggles. Luckily you’ve got some time until ski season.

An Italian Dream

George Clooney takes his Italian vacationing seriously – he owns a beautiful villa on Lake Como, in Laglio, a spot that allows him to take regular advantage of boating opportunities and soak in the rich Italian culture. Laglio is a small town – a hamlet, really, so it may not have as much to offer the average vacationer, but it certainly increases your odds of the coveted Clooney sighting!

Staying Close To Home

Of course, in their downtime, celebs don’t all head to international locales – some stay close to home and enjoy some time off. Halle Berry is just one of many celebs happy to chill on the beach in Malibu. And of course, Malibu has more to offer than beaches, including famous eateries like Nobu. You’ll want to book ahead to get a taste of famed chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s cuisine.

While these spots are favored by many celebrities, there’s no knowing who you’ll bump into on vacation, even if more traditional vacation spots – celebs like to take their kids to Disney, too. Still, it’s fun to imagine what it would be like to hop on a private plane to one of these destinations and spend the trip playing the part of the fabulous and wealthy. We all can dream.

Wow, that was fast!

Just TWO WEEKS after Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris broke up, the singer was spotted full on making out with Tom Hiddleston in Rhode Island. The pair first met at the Met Gala back in May.

More details to come…

UPDATE: Lead singer Anthony Kiedis has recovered.

James Corden is back on the road with another hilarious karaoke sesh! This time, he scoops up the boys of Red Hot Chili Peppers and sing along to some of their hits – “Californication,” “City of Angels,” and “Give It Away.”

What separates this carpool from the previous ones is the boys’ strip down, along with our beloved host, of course.

“As soon as I took the top off, it made me feel great,” after his passionate rendition of “The Zephyr Song.”

“I find my greatest purpose in life when I’m completely lost in the music,” Flea admitted.

Great and bold, these boys are!

More James and the Peppers!

Good always triumphs over evil.

On Sunday, the nation was shocked when Omar Mateen murdered 49 people at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL. While the massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in US history, the event also highlighted the courageous actions of a few individuals whose brave efforts saved dozens of lives.

CBS News recently spoke to Imran Yousuf — a US marine who served in Afghanistan — who worked the night of the shooting as a bouncer.

According to the veteran, he was at the club’s back staff hallway when he heard shots go off. After a crowd of people joined him in the close quarters, he realized there was a door near them that could lead them to safety.

The 24-year-old recalls:

“I’m just screaming ‘open the door, open the door,’ and no one’s moving because they’re scared… There was only one choice, either we all stay there and we all die or I could either take the chance to get shot, save everyone else.”‘

Yousuf says around 60-70 club goers went through the exit.

Although he saved so many lives, he believes he could’ve saved more.

“I wish I could save more, to be honest… There’s a lot of people that are dead… There’s a lot of people that are dead.”

We are so incredibly touched by Imran’s courage!

Someone hand this lady a trophy now!

Meryl Streep treated audiences of NYC’s Park Public Theater Gala to a convincing impersonation of the 2016 presidentiable, Donald Trump. Donning a red tie, a hairpiece, and tons of fake facial tan, the actress fits the part to a T!

Co-actor Kate Burton noted how she even emulated some of the businessman-politician’s mannerisms: “He apparently does this thing, where he goes to close to his jacket but it doesn’t close all the way, and so he kind of goes for it and then he tries to close it again.”

“I appreciate the interest, but this was a one-off, a once in a (last in a) lifetime appearance of this character,” Streep clarifies.

No biopic soon?

That was a close shave.

As reported by TMZ, the rapper suffered an initial seizure while on a flight to Cali last Monday, forcing the aircraft to make a landing in Omaha, Nebraska. After his party refused treatment, they proceeded with the flight, only to make another abrupt landing.

Apparently, this isn’t the first time. Back in 2013, multiple seizures already happened: “This wasn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh…I have had a bunch of seizures, you just never hear about them,” he shares to Power 106’s DJ Felli Fel.

“My heart rate went down to 30 percent. I have people around me who know how to handle it. This time was real bad because I had three back to back and the third one was so bad,” Wayne continues.

Hope things get better this time.

Justin Bieber is well known for not shying away from the media spotlight, regularly grabbing headlines around the world. Whether it is getting arrested for DUI or peeing in restaurant kitchens his fans usually stands by him.

This time though, he may have made himself a powerful enemy in Pop Queen Miley Cyrus by mocking her country accent. It appears Miley isn’t bothered though, as in speaking to Hollywood Life, a source close to her said, “ Miley absolutely loves Justin’s video making fun of her. She thinks he sounds so ridiculous when he copies her voice, plus she’s the one that first pointed out how much they look alike”.

He did remove the post from his Instagram though so all may not be as well as it seems. Replacing the image with a snap of himself with sporting superstars Lewis Hamilton and Neymar it seems Justin is not worried about any beef.

Captioning the post, “3 Kings” while boastful is certainly accurate. The three of them are the standout performers in their respective industries. Hamilton’s forte is F1 and his attributes make him the highest paid athlete in the UK, having signed the richest contract in British sporting history. But what has Hamilton’s $ 133 million wealth bought him? Oh, just an apartment in Monaco, his own plane, and a hotel in the Caribbean. On top of all of this, the star’s swagger makes him the 5 th most marketable sports star in the world.

Neymar, on the other hand, comes in at the 23rd highest-paid athlete in the world, and is worth an unbelievable $ 75 million. Like Hamilton, Neymar is extremely marketable and the Brazilian is involved in a string of endorsements across his native country. Such endorsements include banks, cars, sunglasses, perfume, soda, ice cream and of course, sports gear. The 23-year- old is sure he gives back, however, and has ploughed $ 9 million into Barcelona’s Foundation.

Bieber is in a completely different class to his new found friends with his net-worth coming in at an amazing $ 200 million.

The megastar earns between $ 60-80million a year and his wealth shows no signs of slowing down. He has a number of endorsement deals, ranging from skin care, to perfume to Calvin Klein underwear. His perfume broke records and was the best-selling fragrance in history.

The Canadian takes up residence in Beverly Hills, home to LA, California. And his mansion truly is the stuff of dreams. With unique circular walls, huge steel beams and even its very own elevator, the eccentric property is certainly well suited to Bieber, who can often be known for his crazy antics.

The popstar will never be short of a ride, with his more than impressive range of motors. His cars include: a Range Rover, a Fisker Karma, a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, a Smart Car, a Ducati 848 Evo, a Range Rover Evoque, a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Porsche Turbo 997, and a Ferrari 430. And to keep his collection secure, his home boasts a seven-car garage.

This weekend has been of this year’s most depressing so far.

Two major incidents occurred recently – the demise of 50 people due to a shoot-out at Pulse, an Orlando gay nightclub, and Christina Grimmie‘s death at the hands of another shooter [also in Orlando].

“How many times are we as a nation going to read a horrific story like this, where someone uses a gun to kill an innocent person, and DO NOTHING. I demand gun control,” Kesha says of Grimmie’s unfortunate end.

Meanwhile, Cher, a known gay icon, tweets devastation from the Pulse incident: “NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH?? WHEN UR HURT, WOUNDED, MURDERED WE ALL CRY?? WE ALL MOURN ?? WE R ALL LESS WITHOUT U MY EXTENDED FAMILY?? #URNOTALONE.”

Praying for the repose of their souls, as well as their families’ well-being.

Most of us can’t even imagine the kind of luxury that goes into celebrity homes, and Jennifer Lopez’s new Bel Air estate purchased from Sela Ward is no exception. From the gourmet kitchen – a common feature in many celebrity homes – to the theatre and guest house, the eight acre property combines French and Southern styles for a mix of high-end luxury and welcoming comfort.

If you want to bring a little bit of that luxury to your own home, you may need to scale it back a little, but that doesn’t mean it’s all out of reach. Here’s a sneak peek at the property with a few hints on how to make those details your own.

Swap An Amphitheater For A Home Theatre

Lopez’s new property has an onsite outdoor amphitheater ideal for entertaining guests, but most of us don’t have the space to build an entire performance space on our property. More to scale would be her home theater, seating 30.

That may still be a little big, but most larger homes can accommodate a home theater in the den, family room, or spare bedroom. It may not be huge, but you’ll enjoy a bigger screen size and amplified sound. Add some extra comfortable seating, and you’ll have a luxurious viewing space.

Hit The Pool

The Bel Air estate has both a swimming pool and a manmade swimming pond, perfect for the California weather, but maybe a bit much for those in colder climates. Still, swimming pools are a staple of high end homes, and by investing in an in ground pool rather than the less expensive above ground option, you’ll add a little extra class. In ground pools are also less prone to leaks since they’re typically self-contained and lack liners prone to tearing.

Be sure you consult with a contractor before launching a pool installation project – you don’t want to put yourself in a position where an inopportune leak or similar problem causes you to spend your time worrying about home restoration projects rather than enjoying the sun.

Focus On Bathroom Luxury

Celebrities’ bathrooms are often more similar to spas than to your average shower and sink set-up. But if you have room for a tub, you have room to upgrade a little bit. Consider adding an old school claw footed tub and and a pedestal sink with some extra plush towels. Bathrooms don’t need much more than some fancy soap and good design to feel like the pleasure center of the home.

Everyone deserves to love where they live, which is why it’s worth it to follow celebs’ leads and make room for enjoyment. Home is our refuge from work, from the office and errands, and it should feel that way. Just channel your favorite celebrity and enjoy!
