Vacations

This month was filled with some buzzer-beating hot shots making this month's social media truly madness ... celebrities were slam dunking on IG and apparently getting away with lots of traveling!

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Porsha Williams, Barbie Ferreira -- and many other celebs -- were shooting their shots with some record-breaking body shots ... leaving you nowhere to go but into overtime.

Jessie J, Eric Decker, Kristin Cavallari, Conor McGregor and Simone Biles called no timeouts, as they all posed poolside and brought their A-game.

Patrick Mahomes and his new wife, Brittany Matthews, got real adventurous during their "perfect" honeymoon ... exploring the Caribbean together -- and it looks awesome!!

Mrs. Mahomes says the newlyweds went to St. Barts after tying the knot earlier this month ... and broke down the details with photos and video of their trip.

"Took a tour around the whole island," Brittany said on Sunday. "Hiked up a mountain down to this natural pool. It was quite beautiful."

"Everywhere ya went on the island the views were amazing."

The Kansas City Chiefs QB and his wife were all about the marine life -- from watching a sail boat competition to jumping into the Atlantic Ocean.

They also kayaked and enjoyed a boat ride viewing the sunset ... and even spotted a few sharks and turtles!!

In addition to the ocean wildlife, Matthews says the couple enjoyed  delicious food and their luxurious honeymoon suite.

"Went and are at some pretty yummy places and some pretty cool places," Matthews said, "Our view from our villa was just pure perfection."

Mahomes and Matthews got engaged in Sept. 2020 before saying "I do" on March 12 in Hawaii ... where their 1-year-old daughter, Sterling, was the flower girl.

Spring Break in Miami Beach turned violent Saturday night ... after 2 people were shot and kids scrambled for their lives.

It all went down on famed Ocean Drive ... you hear the shots and people start running for their lives.

As for the shooting victims ... a woman was hit in the leg. The other person may have been more seriously hurt ... that person was carried out on a stretcher and taken to a hospital. The injuries were not life-threatening. We also don't know if cops caught the shooter.

It's been a tough Spring Break week ... three people were hurt after a shooting broke out in Texas.

Zac Efron continues to prove he's been able to maintain one of the best bods in Hollywood for years ... taking a shirtless jog on the beach in Costa Rica.

The actor was spotted with some friends -- both male and female -- in Central America this week, unclear if he's down there for biz, pleasure or both ... but he's doing it all in a swimsuit.

Zac's been quite the globe-trotter over the last few years, including his Netflix project "Down to Earth with Zac Efron" where he worked to find healthy, sustainable ways to live.

You can see in the pics, at one point Zac busts out a camera and also takes a dip in the water -- so at the very least, he was shooting some content.

Olivia Culpo made sure to pack plenty of bikinis for her Jackson Hole getaway with NFL superstar Christian McCaffrey ... throwing on a tiny two-piece for a dip in the hot tub -- and the pics are outrageous.

The model and Carolina Panthers running back have been heating up Wyoming this week ... and they've been documenting their romantic trip all over Instagram.

29-year-old OC proved she's able to withstand the freezing temps on Thursday ... by doing an impromptu photo shoot out in the cold while soaking in the jacuzzi.

The couple of nearly 3 years has been enjoying themselves in the Cowboy State ... playing billiards and backgammon, checking out the local fashion and posing for mushy pics together.

The lovely trip comes amid rumors C-Mac could be shipped out of Charlotte this off-season ... but he appears to be in great spirits throughout his R&R with Culpo.

No word on whether 25-year-old Christian was the guy behind the camera for the smokin' hot hot tub pics ... but if so, we salute.

Michael Jordan and Tony Romo bro'd down on Wednesday -- getting in a round of golf together at a swanky course in Mexico.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the NBA's GOAT and the former Dallas Cowboys superstar hit up El Camaleón Mayakoba Golf Course in Playa del Carmen -- and looked quite chummy while hitting it around.

In video of one of the holes they played, you can see the guys were chattin' on the green while their partners tried to sink putts.

Jordan smoked a cigar, while Romo had a big smile on his face.

We're told Tony ended up making his 20-footer right after the video ended -- and several fans that had gathered to watch cheered with joy. Jordan, meanwhile, missed his putt on the hole, we're told.

We also got footage of Romo's drive on the ensuing hole -- and it's clear, the dude still has a really pretty golf swing.

No word yet on who got the better of whom out on the course -- we're told the two were actually still getting holes in as of late Wednesday afternoon.

If you were wondering, they both have incredibly impressive golf handicaps -- so it's unclear who's the favorite.

Spring break is back in full effect as college kids descend on Florida beaches, and while celebs are also jetting off and trying to keep up on the party scene ... it's pretty obvious, most of 'em just can't hang.

Thousands of students are getting their party on in FL this week as spring break really starts to take off. The annual migration started a couple of weeks ago, and usually runs through mid-April.

This is the first spring break in 2 years to have zero COVID restrictions -- although, as we saw, there wasn't exactly a hell of a lot holding them back last year either.

On the celeb side of things ... Kristin Cavallari jetted down to Mexico, where she's sipping on fresh coconut water and soaking in an ocean view ... and Nicole Scherzinger is chasing rainbows over in Hawaii.

Couples are getting in on the spring break action too ... Heather Rae and Tarek El Moussa are taking a load off in Los Cabos, while Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are kicking back in Costa Rica.

Some folks are really logging frequent flier miles -- Ryan Sheckler went all the way to Thailand, and the long flight looks worth it ... he's on his honeymoon and is splashing around with freaking elephants!!!

Check out the galleries, and decide who's doing spring break better. Yeah, celebs might have fancier hotels and excursions -- but, if you're just looking for a party ... hard to top students in the sand.

Simone Biles brought her 25th birthday celebration to the sand of Turks and Caicos ... enjoying a romantic walk on the beach, and a private dinner with fiancé Jonathan Owens.

The couple shared some of the bday fun on social media on Monday ... and it looks and sounds amazing.

"Want to wish my beautiful fiancée a happy birthday!!!" Owens said in a sweet message on IG.

"What's a better place to bring it in than paradise 🤪🍾."

They were definitely livin' it up on the islands -- the 4x Olympic gold medalist was even surprised with a private dinner on the beach.

"Here's to your best birthday yet, and we just getting started!!!!" the Houston Texans safety said, "More surprises to come 👀😘."

"I love you more than you would ever know baby ❤️❤️ #twentyfiiiiine 🥵"

Owens added, "Looking forward to making endless memories with you on this journey of life together, everything happens for a reason and it's obvious we were made for each other."

The gymnast and NFL player have been dating since 2020 ... when Biles slid in his DMs. The two got engaged on Valentine's Day this year and plan to say 'I do' in 2023.

Shaun White is starting off retirement with a bang ... the legendary snowboarder took a trip to Costa Rica with his girlfriend, Nina Dobrev, and judging from the pics, life's good. Very, very good.

"It means no worries….🦁 #retired," Shaun wrote on an Instagram post of himself on vacay.

White -- a five-time Olympian and three-time gold medalist -- retired last month after competing in his final Winter Olympics. The 35-year-old was overcome with emotion as he concluded his final Games ... crying in front of the media.

In a recent interview with NBC in Boston, White told the outlet "Yeah, I'm retired, that's the last of it. Every step of the way has been great. I’ll finally have the time to do some things I’ve always wanted to, take some vacations, ride some powder."

Shaun kept true to his word ... going on a vacation with his famous GF. The two went to Costa Rica ... taking in sights on the beautiful islands at Hacienda Altagracia -- a local luxury resort.

White and Dobrev -- star from the hit  TV show "The Vampire Diaries" -- have been dating for years ... and announced they made it official while quarantining together during the early stages of the pandemic.

Nina considers herself an avid lover of snowboarding -- and, well, her boyfriend happens to be one of the greatest snowboarders in the sport's history.

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews are days from getting hitched -- the couple just arrived in Hawaii for their wedding day!!

Mahomes' lil' bro, Jackson, is providing some breadcrumbs surrounding the ceremony via Instagram ... revealing everyone's in Maui leading up to the big event.

Now that the location has been confirmed, the next question is -- who are Patrick's groomsmen?!

Jackson shed a bit of light on that, too ... revealing he's Patrick's best man by posting a pic with the superstar QB (sporting a bright-patterned RompHim) and saying, "Best Man type vibes 🤙🏽."

The Mahomeses aren't the only ones in paradise ... Matthews and her friend (and Travis Kelce's girlfriend) Kayla Nicole took a flight on a private jet to the island.

"Let the fun begin sister girl," Nicole said on social media.

Of course, Mahomes and Matthews had plenty of fun last month -- the Super Bowl champ went all out in Vegas for his bachelor party ... and his fiancée enjoyed a getaway with the girls.

Mahomes and his high school sweetheart got engaged in 2020 ... and had their first child, daughter Sterling Skye, on February 20, 2021.

Whaddaya do when you win the Super Bowl??

You get all your friends together on a yacht and head to Cabo, of course!!

L.A. Rams head coach Sean McVay did just that this week -- boarding a $15k-a-night boat and having the time of his life ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

36-year-old McVay, his fiancée, Veronika Khomyn, and their closest friends made the trip down to Mexico and partied it up on a 75-foot Sunseeker called Sea La Vie.

McVay quickly ditched his shirt for the occasion ... showing off his impressive build as he soaked in the rays before riding around on a jet ski.

Sean has a lot to celebrate -- he is fresh off leading the Rams to a Super Bowl win over Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals ... becoming the youngest head coach to win it all.

On top of that, pretty much every major network wants him to leave his coaching gig to start a career in the broadcast booth ... reportedly being offered insane checks in the process.

Even though there's fewer days in the month of February ... celebs on social media turned up enough heat to keep you warm until spring break!

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Winnie Harlow, Tracee Ellis Ross -- and a bunch more sexy celebs -- took to the 'Gram to drop some scorching selfies in the middle of the winter that could bring your blood to a boil!

Try not to overheat while you burn through all the Barbie Ferreira, Anastasia Karanikolaou, Heidi Klum and Joey King social media meltdowns.

Winnie Harlow and Kyle Kuzma were either working on their MMA ground game or packing on the PDA on vacation this week ... and we're assuming it's the latter.

Harlow posted a steamy collection of hot shots to her IG on Thursday ... where the 27-year-old model is seen straddling her 26-year-old Wizards star boyfriend while laid out on the beach somewhere in paradise.

It was clearly a great All-Star break for Kuz and Harlow -- they also enjoyed a boat ride while on the long trip ... and you can see the hooper smiling as he holds a cigar and a handful of his lady.

The couple was definitely into each other -- a good sign that their reconciliation is going extremely well since their break up last August.

Remember, the two split right around the time Kuz was traded from the Lakers to D.C. ... but they got back together 5 months later.

As we previously reported, the two first became an item after Kuz slid into Harlow's DMs ... and they became one of the first quarantine couples to surface during the pandemic.

No All-Star Game selection (and no healthy elbow) for Paul George, clearly no problem ...

The Clippers forward was spotted living it up in St. Barts instead of healthily playing in the NBA's showcase this weekend ... being seen shirtless in the sun with his fiancee, Daniela Rajic.

George looked to have no issue whatsoever with being away from the trainer's room and the hardwood for a few days ... and Rajic, sporting a colorful one-piece, didn't seem to have too much issue with it either.

The couple has a few more days to burn in the Caribbean Sea too ... as George's Clippers don't return to action until Friday when they take on the Lakers.

George's teammates, meanwhile, are certainly hoping the vacay heals their star ... the guy started the season on fire but has been out the past few weeks with a serious elbow injury.

Passengers who witnessed a woman jump overboard to her death on a cruise ship have been left traumatized, and they want the cruise line to do some kind of a make-good.

Rhonda Turner, a 28-year-old from Booneville, MS, was enjoying her time on the Carnival Valor with her husband and two children ... before chaos erupted after a woman jumped off the balcony into the ocean.

Rhonda and her family rushed to where a large group of passengers was gathered. Rhonda says the scene was horrifying. She saw the head of the woman who jumped bobbing in the water. The woman was not decapitated, but all Rhonda could see was her head.

The woman jumped Wednesday afternoon after she was subdued by security. She had gotten into an altercation with a man in the hot tub.

Rhonda says the chaos left her and her family reeling, as helicopters hovered over the ship, trying to locate the woman. Her small children were bewildered and upset ... unable to understand the scope of what had happened.

Rhonda says it's time for Carnival to pony up ... at the very least she wants credit for another cruise. She's so traumatized she's considering counseling.

Forget house hunting! Christine Chiu is taking luxury to a whole new level, cause the "Bling Empire" star is looking for a new castle in France.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Christine and her husband are in the market for some Old World charm. Christine was already in France for Paris Fashion Week last week, and spent the past weekend shopping for castles all around France -- mainly in the countryside.

Fellow cast member Kevin Kreider was with Christine for Fashion Week, so lucky him ... he got to tag along for some castle shopping.

Looks like Christine is going to be spending a pretty penny for the new purchase ... we're told her budget is around $11 million dollars.

Although it's a big investment, this won't be her main residence  ... instead, it will just be a vacation home.

We're told she originally planned to tour 4 different castles, but apparently, one was recently sold and the other had some issues with the roof, so she and Kevin ended up touring 2 over the weekend.

Our sources say the massive properties both include more than 200 acres of land ... and each 32,000 sq.-ft. castle has 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. Fair to say, entertaining won't be an issue!

We're told Christine loves architecture and feel castles are currently not wildly expensive, but restoration could cost a ton ... so, picking the right one will be crucial to her ultimate goal -- locking down a castle future Chiu generations can enjoy.
