Ok, so not strictly a celeb on holiday, but interesting nonetheless

Thomas Suozzi, county executive of Nassau County, New York, has unveiled the county's first tourism campaign and announced Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Ashanti as one of their nine 'tourism ambassadors'.

"The Island Next Door" focusses on residents in New York state and aims to highlight Nassau County's proximity in a time of high petrol prices, expensive air travel and general economic uncertainty.

Suozzi says:

"What other place in the United States has the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, first-class restaurants, top-notch museums and parks, and world-class golf and shopping, just minutes from the world's greatest city?" "Nassau County has always been known as a great place to live. Now, we're showing people that we're also a great place to visit."
