The tropical getaway comes on the heels of Scarlett's recent trip to Berlin and an appearance at Obama's "Runway to Win" fundraiser in NYC earlier this week. Nate and Scarlett went public with their Read more

Vacationing with girlfriends doesn't have to be all about boozing, suntanning, and dancing on tables (OK, I take back the last one).
