Katy Perry moves East Coast!

Posted on November 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

It might be to be closer to her mother in law, as hubby Russel hails from good old UK, or maybe it is just to be where some of the other action is. Katy Perry bought a modest sized anything but modest prices apartment in NYC. The newlyweds are the happy reported owners of 1,500 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in New York’s SoHo district.

If you’re thinking she’ll be singing “East Coast represent, now put your hands up!” you’re wrong. Mrs Perry (or is it Brand now?) stays true to her roots. Just last year she and then still live-in boyfriend Russel splashed out $3,250,000 for a -not sure what country but surely mediterranean style – mansion in the trendy LA hood Los Feliz. Cause you could travel the wo-orld, but nothing comes close to the Golden Coast.

Mischa Barton puts her house on the Market. $8,395,000 and it’s yours!

Posted on April 23, 2010 | Leave a comment

Rumour has it the current financial crisis is hitting c-list celebrities too! Good Lord, where is this world going to. Our friends at The Real Estalker heard it first, but Mischa Barton is selling her home. Well, we all saw it coming really. What did she do after the OC? And wait, was she even in that the whole run? To be fair, she was OK in the OC. It was her love interest, not even bothered to IMDB his name, that got on my nerves. The house from the show was featured in one of Homevoyeurs’ Movie & TV home quizes.

But, hard times for Mischa means she has to put her house up for sale. And judging the pictures, this will not be an easy decision. Her house looks as if a lot of energy went into turning it into a villa one finds in the old country’s Tuscan Hills. It is in fact located in the Beverly Hills, and features 6 bathrooms and 10 bathrooms.

$8,395,000, or if you are good at haggling a bit less, and it can be yours. Now where is that thing that I use to check my bank balance…..

Vidal hopes to make a sale sas-soon

Posted on February 15, 2010 | Leave a comment

The wonderful queen of real estate gossip, the Real Estalker, wrote on her blog that mister Vidal Sassoon and his wife Rhonda (yes, wife, I was surprised too) have listed their 1950’s minimalist bungalow in the glitzy LA neighbourhood of Beverly Hills. The 6000 plus square feet bungalow (that’s 550 plus square meters for us normal folk) was designed by the noted architect to the stars Hal Levitt. This man designed many a house for many a movie star way back when Beverly Hills were still hills, Hancock Park was still a park and one could still breathe in fresh air in Bel Air.

The house has seen extensive renovations throughout the years. It still oozes 50’s architecture but I must say that for a man who does such wonders to hair, the house is a bit too bare for my likings.

It’s on the market for a staggering $17,500,000 but for that one buys a house previously owned by Her Royal Highness Princess Shams Pahlavi, the now deceased older sister of the last Shah of Iran. Not sure if that is actually enough of a reason for that hefty a price, but I know I’d be telling that to strangers in bars if it were my house.

San Fran’s hunky mayor sells über plush pad

Posted on April 29, 2009 | 1 comment

Gavin Newsom, the dark haired tall and dashing mayor of San Francisco has put his 1650 plus square feet penthouse on the market.  This as he is planning to strut his stuff in Sacramento as governor of California. Newsom is controversial to say the least. Many a puritan and hypocritical narrow minded American want him out for allowing gay marriage in his city. He himself is married to actress Jennifer Siebel, so, damnit, not gay.

Newsom and then some!

The penthouse is located on the 20th floor of Bellaire Tower, an Art Deco landmark from the 1930’s. The lay-out offers windows on the sides of the apartment allowing views to stretch from the Golden Gate Bridge, across to Marin County, downtown and the TransAmerica Pyramid and the Bay Bridge.

One bedroom only....

One bedroom only....

My first impression is “where is the balcony?”. If I were to put down $2,995,000 for a place to live I’d like a little balcony… and a guest room for that matter….

I like the way it looks though, nice decorating there. And I can only imagine the views in real life!
