OK, you got us. None of these rich and famous people bothered to send us a note from Maui. But as we languished in our little air-conditioned offices this week, we imagined what it is that the likes of Olivia Wilde, Paris Hilton, Paulina Gretzky, Halle Berry and others love so much about the 50th state. It's not just about the sun, sand and perfect weather.
