Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo Are Expecting

If Elliot and Andrew Weber had a redo, they would tackle The Amazing Race's Paraguay leg completely differently. After toiling at the harp-stringing Detour for hours, the twins wound up slightly ahead of Vanessa and Ralph - who slaved away themselves at the watermelon-stacking option - at the Roadblock. But the bottle-balancing task proved too difficult for Elliot, the front man of the music group Enova, to handle. "I probably have better balance than he does, especially with things on my head," Andrew, a goalkeeper for MLS' Seattle Sounders, tells TVGuide.com. "Should I have done it? Maybe, but at the time, neither of us knew [from the clue] what the task was." Find out why Elliot took the Roadblock, why they had such a hard time with the harp and more.

REVIEW: Italian Comedy The Salt of Life Proves You Just Never Get Over It Whatever It Is

If the teenage hedonists of Project X want to see whats in store for them in 40 years - and surely they dont - they might have a look at Italian writer-director-actor Gianni Di Gregorios smart and none-too-sweet little comedy The Salt of Life, in which a 60-ish retiree living in Trastevere suddenly realizes that not a single woman - not his reasonably affectionate but matter-of-fact wife, nor his flirty young next door neighbor, nor any of his various old flames and acquaintances is interested in sleeping with him. Its also, to my knowledge, the only movie about the love lives of sexagenarians that closes with the Pixies Here Comes Your Man. This is a movie thatll play great with the blue-haired crowd, and yet I suspect touches like that will go over the heads of the oldsters. The overarching, bittersweet vibe of The Salt of Life is that you just never, ever get over it - whatever the hell it is. The Salt of Life is the follow-up to Di Gregorios surprise 2010 mini-hit Mid-August Lunch, in which some version of the character we meet here - a guy in late-middle age named Gianni, played by Di Gregorio himself - is forced into service cooking and otherwise waiting on his passive-aggressively demanding 90-something mother (played, with grand dame comic authority, by Valeria de Franciscis) and her equally wrinkly, chattery gal pals. Mid-August Lunch was Di Gregorios directorial debut. (He also wrote the screenplay for the 2008 drama Gomorrah.) And if it was the sort of movie to which you could take your mother - as well as your grandmother and your great-grandmother - it was also evidence that even safe, nice little movies, done right, can have a bit of the serpents bite in them. Di Gregorio has a light touch, but he never goes for the saccharine. Even when he stoops to making a Viagra joke - as he does in The Salt of Life - he cant resist tipping it on its ear. And he refuses to overplay the moment - he ricochets off in another direction before you even know it. In The Salt of Life, Gianni - once again played by Di Gregorio, who has the air of a lovelorn basset hound - cant help noticing that all his salt-and-pepper-haired buddies seem to be dallying with beautiful younger women. Almost half-heartedly, he decides he might have a go at it himself: His wife (Elisabetta Piccolomini), who seems to want him around only to make Ikea runs, probably wouldnt care. And his daughter (played by Di Gregorios daughter, Teresa) has her own love life to worry about; her ex-boyfriend (Michelangelo Ciminale) is still hanging around the family apartment, and, seemingly out of a lack of anything better to do, becomes Giannis pal and partner in crime. In between fielding calls from his mother (de Franciscis, once again), who summons him to her home for important tasks like slapping the TV in order to get better reception, Gianni makes attempts with various younger cuties (nearly all of them, by the way, voluptuous in a way that you rarely see in American movies). He begins with his mothers caretaker, Kristina (Kristina Cepraga), a captivating blonde goddess who eagerly tells him about a dream in which he played a significant role - as her grandfather. Then he moves on to an old acquaintance, Gabriella (played by mezzosoprano Gabriella Sborgi), who professes interest in him only to ignore him when he shows up, flowers in tow, at her house while shes busy rehearsing. Old-flame Valeria (Valeria Cavalli) is thrilled to see him, but falls asleep on the couch before their date can ignite. And that vivacious next-door-neighbor, Aylin (Aylin Prandi), adores him but not quite in that way - she's deeply appreciative of the way he's always stopping by to walk her Saint Bernard, Riccardo. Di Gregorio (who also wrote the script) has set up a stock scenario for sure. But its what he does with it, and the way he tosses in casual but significant grace notes, that makes all the difference. Di Gregorio - who seems to be carrying the full weight of unrequited sexual desire in the cartoonishly heavy bags under his eyes - specializes in self-deprecation, especially when it comes to machismo. (And this is Italian machismo were talking about - not for the faint of heart.) When Gianni dons a new suit and struts past his buddies - they sit outside in their tracksuits, talking about football and women, possibly in that order - one of them remarks, He must have a date! only to have another retort, Hes probably going to a christening. He does, in fact, have a date, but the suit doesnt help him much. Giannis inability to get anything started isnt just a running gag - its the pictures backbone, although Di Gregorio keeps the action and the jokes lissome and fluid, rather than locking them into a rigid formula. As actor, director and writer, he approaches the idea of ever-present longing with the suppleness of a dancer. On the surface, The Salt of Life may seem like a movie made just for old folks. The trick is that it really is about the youth that stays with you, even when your aging body is working hard to convince you otherwise. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter.

Realtor gives fans license to rent

The property seen in 'Quantum of Solace' is available as a vacation rental. The property in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' is also available to rent.Businesses have long tied in with celebrities to sell consumer products. Now even the vacation rentals biz is turning to Hollywood to increase bookings -- and offer studios a new space they might want to enter, given its growing revenue potential. FlipKey, a division of TripAdvisor, recently added a listing of homes to rent that have appeared on TV shows like MTV's "Real World," films like Summit's "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1," the James Bond actioner "Quantum of Solace" and "Scarface," or homes in which Orson Welles and rock stars Jim Morrison and Iggy Pop once lived. As the site says, "real life isn't like the movies, but then again, a vacation is an escape from real life. Next time you travel ... you can skip Hollywood's celebrity homes tour in favor of actually living in a celebrity's home." The rentals aren't cheap, though. Twi-Hards who want to slumber in the Brazilian honeymoon beach house where Bella and Edward celebrated their nuptials in "Breaking Dawn" will have to pony up $4,000 to $9,000 a night for the six-bedroom casa. A minimum two-night stay is required. Bond fans can stay at the four-bedroom Villa Talamone, in Italy's Tuscany region, for $2,323 per night. But take note: 007 never stayed at the seaside retreat in the film; it was the residence of his friend, Rene Mathis. And for something more local, "Real World" fans can rent out the massive eight-bedroom Key West residence at a cheaper $1,500 to $2,000 a night. The oceanfront home, with a 30-car garage, still features the original colorful decor from the 2006 season of the show, including jacuzzi. A note: FlipKey says the home is "suitable for the elderly." Other rentals are a little misleading. The "Guns of Navarone" house isn't from the film but is a modern structure that happens to perch above the picturesque St. Nicholas Bay, in Greece, where the war pic was lensed. And Miami's Carlyle Hotel, seen in "Scarface," "The Birdcage" and "Bad Boys 2," isn't a hotel anymore but a refurbished apartment complex with 19 residences. FlipKey offers apartment 4F, a one bedroom facing Ocean Drive and the Atlantic Ocean for up to $250 a night. Some listings are obscure, like the five-bedroom Hawaiian home used to film the Morgan Freeman and Owen Wilson comedy "The Big Bounce." Weekly rental price: $17,427. So far, FlipKey offers just 20 entertainment listings among the more than 200,000 vacation rental properties in its roster. But it's looking for more. Although not heavily promoted, the new listings could prove lucrative for TripAdvisor, which itself was spun off from online travel agency Expedia, and give it an edge over other sites like Otalo, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk, iStopOver.com, HomeGetaways.com, Niumba.com, RedAwning.com, SkipJump.com, and PerfectFloridaVillas.com. TripAdvisor-branded websites globally receive more than 50 million unique visitors each month, and have 20 million members. The company's revenue has grown 30% over the past several quarters. The vacation rental market grew to $85 billion in 2010, according to Radius Global Market Research. How much of that is due to well-off movie buffs vacationing in Orson Welles former pad is anybody's guess. Contact Marc Graser at marc.graser@variety.com
