RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
We go here every year for New Year's. The best place to stay is the Fasano (Avenida Vieira Souto, 80). Their indoor pool doesn't have a roof and it's all glass -- so you feel like you're on the beach but you're actually at the pool, so you can wear your jewelry and stuff. It's exclusive -- Penelope Cruz will just kind of stroll up. Rio at night is another story. There are so many big, underground parties, so to find a good time, you just ask somebody, "Where is everyone going tonight?" And they'll tell you.

MONTREAL, CANADA
Canada is turning into a lot of fun. And if you want to be nasty, go to Montreal. There's a great place called Stock (1171, Ste-Catherine east), which is not to be missed -- if you like a naked man swishing by you while you're having a drink. There are also shows and the guys do their little dances. There's a champagne room where you can get a private dance. It's a good time if you're a gay homosexual man.

MYKONOS, GREECE
For 12 years straight, we've never missed going to Greece in August. It's very fashion, it's very fun. N'Ammos (located on Psarou Beach) is our favorite restaurant, and Psarou is the chicest, most together beach there. You eat lunch at 4 p.m. The music is always great and people start dancing on the tables. Before you know it, it's 6 p.m. and it's time for aperitivo. You can get to bed by 9 or 10 and then wake up at 2 a.m. and go back out. Cavo Paradiso (at Paradise Beach) has great international DJs. You'll watch the sun come up and then ride home on your Vespa around noon.

CAPRI, ITALY
When we go to Milan, it's usually for work and we like to come home as soon as we're done... except if we're there in the summer, then we go to Capri. The place to stay is J.K. Place (Via Prov. Marina Grande, 225) and the place to party is Anema e Core (Via Sella Orta, 39) -- it's kind of like the one place in Capri where there's live singing. It's kind of like karaoke but professional -- very nostalgic, very Italian. It's very chill. Capri is the only place where Jackie O. never had bodyguards.

NAPLES, ITALY
In Naples, Jackie O. probably had ten body-guards. Definitely try to sniff out where there's an Angels of Love party. They'll get these American DJs like Frankie Knuckles or Louie Vega and they'll throw a party for thousands of people in a cave on the Amalfi Coast. Then it will start raining outside the cave and that's your air conditioning. It's nature meets underground meets house music with thousands of kids.

BEIRUT, LEBANON
Beirut is just out of control. People there are the biggest party animals. There are all these beach clubs with big pools that jet out onto the ocean, which have become quite trendy in the afternoon. You'll find them all along the port, one right after the other. Your table will have a Jacuzzi and you can just sit in your Jacuzzi and drink. They have all these hot army guys all over the city -- but they don't do photo ops.
