Escape with Christina Milian

Christina Milian is a jet-setting triple threat: singer, actress, and TV host. When she’s not traveling for work, shooting music videos, and appearing on The Voice or Dancing with the Stars, Christina is spending time with her daughter Violet — which is why the “AM to PM” artist recently teamed up with Kimberly-Clark Family UNity (FUN), a partnership giving families a chance to create their own family song. Christina hopes to do more traveling with her little one (and the rest…

A New York Minute with Olivia Munn

In her new thriller flick, Deliver Us From Evil, a Bronx-accented Olivia Munn plays a policeman’s wife who is investigating some bone-chilling demonic crimes. She actually likes scary films and gets really bored if they don’t terrify her. For Munn, it’s like being on a roller coaster where you want to be scared but dread them at the same time. Ever the chameleon, she’s not staying in the horror genre for long. The actress who made a big splash playing…

View from the Top: Jenny McCarthy

Since pulling up a chair to co-host ABC’s The View, Jenny McCarthy has made the move from Chicago to New York City. The actress, mother and always-entertaining blonde bombshell recently helped the Vemma Nutrition Company introduce its newest ready-to-drink beverage, Vemma Renew, at the Bryant Park Hotel in NYC. While sipping, we “singled out” our favorite funny lady for an exclusive interview about her new home, her old one and a unique New York City activity – poker, anyone? Galavante:…

Model Traveler – Petra Nemcova

Beautiful and foreign. And we’re not talking about Petra Nemcova’s next or last travel destination. The founder of Happy Hearts Fund isn’t simply a gorgeous person on the outside (though she turns heads everywhere she goes), but a kind soul and world traveler. She’s up in the air at least twice a week. Between her regular overseas commutes, we met up with the stunning Czech supermodel when she came through New York City – and she shared some of her…

Alyssa Milano

New York Fashion Week took over Lincoln Center last week, which meant plenty of outrageous outfits on a strikingly attractive bunch – and a particularly challenging time finding a cab. This stylish spectacle unsurprisingly drew A-list actresses, artists and Adonises. Actress Alyssa Milano – best known for Who’s the Boss, Charmed and, now, Mistresses – sat front and center at the Tadashi Shoji show, looking pretty in plaid. Galavante caught up with her for a New York minute to talk…

Billy Baldwin & Chynna Phillips

This Valentine’s Day, we sit down with actor Billy Baldwin and singer, songwriter and actress Chynna Phillips (of Wilson Phillips – obviously) to talk love, life and travel. They’ve been together 23 years, and with three kids between 9 and 13 and an unrelenting schedule, the Santa Barbara-based family has been going full throttle. “We haven’t been away on vacation without the kids in years,” says Phillips. But recently, the couple headed to Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa outside…

Island Style

A voyage to Easter Island, 1,234 miles from anywhere, qualifies as a bucket list trip, so it’s only natural that you’d want to bring home a souvenir for bragging purposes. But much like the deal you closed to afford your adventure, scoring a replica of the famed moai requires strategic negotiation. Contrary to conventional bargaining wisdom, craftsmen selling the best moai generally aren’t motivated by money. Why? Because all native Rapa Nui are allotted land, and most of them have…

Beautycounter

You may have heard of Beautycounter through the grapevine, which would make sense, because that’s basically the premise of the brand. Remember Mary Kay?

In short, Beautycounter offers effective, good-for-you products, from the hair to the face to the body to a colorful range of lip sheers that are literally safe enough to…

In Fiore

In Fiore is one of those brands that can get you in real trouble, because if you try one product, you’ll want to try them all. The brand’s founder, Julie Elliott, opened this modern apothecary in San Francisco after years in the fashion industry in New York. So, right off the bat, we trust her standards. The foundation of her products is handpressed flower and herbal oils, blended into an array of potions so aromatic they will practically transport you…
