There’s a reason why hundreds of thousands of pioneers braved the Oregon Trail in the mid-1800s. At the end of the roughly 2,000-mile route was Oregon — a state with a little bit of everything, from lush, fertile valleys where berries, pears, plums, and cherries thrive, to expansive high deserts and wild coastlines.

Jennifer Lopez is doing just fine after her breakup with former fiancé Alex Rodriguez, but has anyone checked on A-Rod? We aren’t sure he’s in the same emotional shape as his ex — he seems to be a little tender after everything that has happened in the last few months. Despite his insistence in a new interview with ET that he’s centering in on “all the positive” aspects of his life, we do sense a bit of wistfulness for his former life with Lopez....

In the southern part of Argentina, occupying the northern Patagonia region, the low-key mountain town of Bariloche hugs Nahuel Huapi, a startlingly crystalline glacial lake centered in the national park of the same name. Early in the 20th century, Swiss, German, and Austrian settlers decamped here, lured in by the invigorating alpine air and knee-buckling natural beauty. And today, European flourishes continue to abound in Bariloche, from the rustic wood chalets to the popularity of craft chocolate....

But a farm is actually exactly what they wanted, and so they made their dream a reality — one that also fit their Hollywood lifestyles. Together, over the course of five years, the Kunis-Kutchers designed their very own sustainable farmhouse, tucked away in the exclusive hills of Beverly Hills, and now that the project’s complete, they’re sharing a look inside the luxuriously rustic home....
