While she's away yachting in Portofino, Jennifer Lopez's empire suffered a bit of a blow back in Los Angeles. Her 6-year-old restaurant, Madre's, has shut down, "until further notice" according to a sign posted on the eatery's door.

Celebrity-owned restaurants tend to last as long as the stars' high-profile relationships, so props to Madre's for making it as long as it did. Hopefully Eva Longoria Parker's joint Beso won't suffer the same fate...

Houston, TX

From its air-conditioned baseball stadium, Minute Maid Park, to its Texas-sized meals served up at Houston Barbecue Company, Houston has a vast variety of activities in the summertime. Its Museum District is also a great way to spend the weekend days. With 18 different museums to choose from you can soak in some culture while soaking in the sun! Book a room in the heart of the district at The Zaza Hotel (713.526.199/ hotelzaza.com/Houston). The hotel is within walking distance to the 445-acre Hermann Park, Miller Outdoor Theatre, Houston Zoo, and other attractions. It’s an urban oasis in the city with an outdoor swimming pool and wellness spa.
