Anna Nicole Smith´s mansion on the market

Posted on August 8, 2011 | Leave a comment

Four years after the blonde bombshell´s untimely passing, her house has been put on the market. The big, ugly pinkish building is listed for a meager $1,75 million. This is still quite a wad of cash for most of us, but for a house in the Hollywood Hills of this size, and with these views, it´s a bit of a steal.

The house boasts stunning views of Los Angeles and smog filled skies

The house is currently owned by the estate of Anna Nicole, under the control of her lawyer Howard K. Stern and her holding company Hot Smoochie Lips Inc. Rumour has it that the house is put up for sale to pay for the care of Daniellynn, Anne Nicole´s baby with Larry Birkhead.

I found this video on Walmart’s Youtube channel. Quite a good channel to check out actually as they also post diy and deco tips.

This house spins to get the most out of the stunning views and the light. It doesn’t spin very fast with 48 minutes for a full rotation. Designed by famed architect Richard T. Foster in 1968 (as a collaboration with Philip Johnson), the home is on the market now with an asking price of $1,750,000.00.

Christina’s Burlesque Crib

Posted on July 25, 2011 | 1 comment

American InStyle magazine features the home of Grammy winning singer Christina Aguilera this month. The mediterranean-style (aren´t they all) mansion in Beverly Hills (where else) used to be owned by Ozzy Osbourne and was the stage for the reality soap around his family. Christina once stated she really didn’t like their style (I Loved it!) and was determined to erase any trace of it. She surely managed to put her own mark to it.

Christina as happy hausfrau and devoted wife.

InStyle magazine describes it as Gothic, burlesque, Hollywood Regency and chinoiserie elements are juxtaposed with modern flourishes like graffiti artwork, Japanese anime and kaleidoscopic rugs. “I wanted every space to have its own personality,” According to Christina.

Hunky Gavin Newsom moves again

Posted on July 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

My loyal fans might remember my 2009 post about handsome former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom selling his penthouse. He and actress wife Jennifer Siebel  apparently did not move to Sacramento as was suggested in the post, as he is now selling the home he bought shortly after selling aforementioned penthouse. The house is in Ashbury Heights, a wealthy neighbourhood of San Francisco.

Listing information describe the detached residence as 3,051 square feet over three floors with a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The property was originally built in 1915 and some of the Edwardian architectural features are kept. It’s on the market for $2,750,000

with one kid, and another on the way, the couple likely wants the kids to have a room each on the same floor as their own.
