Hollywood celebrities' appearances during the lead-up to Christmas: Brad Pitt, Bella and Gigi Hadid, the Bennifers

An attentive look at the world of celebrities during the most festive period of the year. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, in their “natural habitat”: Hollywood. Five tips for successful VIP-watching.

Walking around Hollywood

From Brad Pitt to Charlize Theron, from Al Pacino to the super models Bella and Gigi Hadid, many celebrities who during the period preceding the Christmas holidays choose to spend a few weeks of leisure in the name of shopping, good food and surfing. Crossing the vast areas of Los Angeles, between the west coast and the Hollywood hills, it is not so rare to meet celebrities and pop stars

J.Lo and Ben Afflek

The Bennifers were recently spotted in Beverly Hills at a prestigious furniture store. According to what the TMZ website states, after putting their $42.5 million Bel Air villa up for sale, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck would have found a new home in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, considered one of the most exclusive in the Californian city. The two are therefore choosing the furniture for the new home right in the luxurious streets of Beverly Hills

Bella and Gigi Hadid’s favorite restaurant

Bella and Gigi Hadid often stop at “Il Pastaio”, an Italian restaurant owned by Giacomino Drago and the models’ father’s favourite. Sources close to the family claim that it was in the famous location that the two sisters spent their adolescence, dining on a plate of tagliatelle with meat sauce and a truffle risotto. Especially during the holiday season

A dish named Bieber

Justin Bieber is also often spotted by “Il Pastaio” in the company of his mother Pattie Malette. And it is right there, a few steps from the luxurious Rodeo Drive, that you can order the singer’s favorite pasta: Paccheri (needless to say) Bieber-style. The dish has been a global success and it is no coincidence that many fans stop at the exclusive Italian location hoping to meet the pop star. Worth checking out if you are in the area during the holidays

Two steps with Al

In Beverly Hills, with the inevitable headphones, the sporty outfit and the attitude of a failed dancer, it is possible to bump into Al Pacino. The actor does not give up his daily jog even during the holidays, a moment in which – according to the celebrity himself – the actor manages to find more time for himself. A “hop” between the villas is therefore a must

Riding the wave with Helen Hunt and Matthew McConaughey

In Malibu, along one of the most popular coasts in LA, it is possible to surf the waves in the company of Helen Hunt and Matthew McConaughey. The area offers endless VIP-watching possibilities, between the Malibù Pier and the well-known Nobu beach restaurant. There, during brunch time, it is not difficult to meet world-famous actors and actresses. Among others also Johnny Depp.
