Bauble-Ogling Instead of Leaf-Peeping at The Viking

Where: 1 Bellevue Ave [map], Newport, RI, United States, 02840

Let's face it: Leaf-peeping can get a tad tedious. Which is why we there was a certain twinkle in our eyes when we heard about the jewelry component--namely two handcrafted Angela Moore bracelets--of the "Baubles, Bubbles and Best Friends" package available at the The Viking Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island, not far from the other leaf-peeping locales in New England.

The chilled bottle of champagne and $100 spa credit that are also included aren't too shabby either. For a total cost of $399 per room, nightly, the hotel also tosses in a tour of three of Newport's famed mansions, which we suspect is where the "best friend" bonding part of the deal comes in (we could do that just as happily at the bar).

Mick Jagger Is Either a Frozen Robot or Has a Serious Sweet Tooth

Where: Coldra Woods | The Usk Valley,, Newport, Wales, United Kingdom, NP18 1HQ

By far, this is one of the strangest celebrity hotel requests.

After checking in at the plush Celtic Manor Hotel, in Gwent, Jagger reportedly requested that an American-style refrigerator was placed in his room complete with ice-cream. The rocker apparently uses the frozen sweet treat to cool down his vocal cords after performing.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The hotel has many celebrity guests and they always try to cater for their needs."

We understand that aging vocal cords need to recuperate but does he really need that much? We think Mick is cyrogenically frozen in between shows. Either him or Keith Richards.
