How the stars spent their summer vacations

Summer is almost over (*sob*) and with it, we get a return to cooler temperatures and shorter days with the arrival of fall in September. Oh, and the return of school days!
But what were your favourite stars up to this summer? There was a theme among celebrity vacations this year: Italy. Plenty of celeb couples took in the country's gorgeous sights, while others opted to head for Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California for some magical adventures with the fam!
