TARA GOES TO AUSTRALIA

What she did: Attended the Magic Millions race (horses) on the sun-kissed/baked Gold Coast. Reports included her hanging out at the Conrad Jupiters Hotel and Casino, plus swimming with dolphins at Sea World. Soundbite: “Australians are great people!” Yes, dear. Yes they are.

Good call? Well, she was hired to be there, so we’d guess it was a good call that she showed up. But her work duties didn’t stop her from having a good time (did they ever), which is difficult not to do up here, where it’s all surfing, sand and sunburn.

If you’re going: There’s a boatload of mass-market hotel junk up here, but there are also plenty of really cool places to stay. At the top of our list would be the Palazzo Versace. Nouveau fabulous paradise, this one, designed by Miss Donatella herself, is actually pretty classy. Through March, a rate of $450 includes breakfast for two, spa access and a treatment credit of $100. Now all you have to do is get there.
