Caribbean Destinations

“Celebrities migrate toward the Caribbean because it’s one of the few places they can go where they’re left alone,” says Keija Minor, editor in chief of Travel Savvy magazine. “It’s the perfect place for them to get some relaxation, quiet time and seclusion.” What’s not to love? The fruit and fish are always fresh, and the weather usually cooperates. Besides the laid-back tranquility of the islands, celebs also enjoy a bit of welcome anonymity from fans and paparazzi when they’re tucked away in their own pockets of paradise.

Black culture theme universal, Rock says

Comedian Chris Rock is featured in the November issue of Vibe magazine, showcasing not only his talent, but just plain old-fashioned common sense. Asked why his material about black culture is embraced by white fans, Rock said: “The black experience is a universal experience, ’cause the black experience is the poor experience. A trailer park is just a project on wheels. So any poor white person knows what I’m talking about. Nobody started out rich in America. Even people that have dough can relate to the black experience because their grandfather or great-grandfather was poor.”
