Celebrity Homes

That is the complete opposite of his previous home!

What's surprising is that it's lush, but I can see a family there...unlike other celeb homes that look like frustrated museums.

My god, that's my dream home.

I'm off to make brownies now in my apartment kitchen where my ass hits the fridge when I try to open the stove.

I love the layout but not how it's decorated.

Queer Eye's Ted Allen recently sold his Chelsea apartment, and it's gorgeous (designed by his interior decorator partner).

That's a very nice apartment indeed. I'm usually more impressed by the homes that actually look and feel like a real home, then again my view is skewered by Cribs, which seems to only show the worst interior designed homes ever. Money simply can not buy you any class.

Oh, so beautiful! That bedroom would Mr Yossarian's fantasy! A comfy bed and a wall of gorgeous bookshelves - what more could he want? Besides me in that bed!

[jenedreamer]

That is a beautiful bedroom...all the books and the light shining through the big windows.

It always seems like such a waste with some of these celebrity homes. They're like, "Yeah, and I'm here about two months out of the year" and they open the fridge and it has a case of beer and a bunch of ketchup and mustard. If I were lucky enough to have a big home like that like hell would I not be there every day and make it all homey and such.

I wonder if celebrities take the following into account when they buy these places:

*Maintenance (and the accompanying expenses involved)
*Taxes
*Security
*Insurance

I mean, a lot of this is long term and the expenses involved are probably enormous and add up. Furthermore, many of them also involve themselves in extensive renovations and interior decorating. Also adding the fact that many celebrities have multiple establishments. I have no idea why they don't take these things into account.

Have you guys read about Courteney Cox and David Arquette selling their Malibu house? She bought it about 4 years ago for about $10 million and is trying to sell it for $33.5 million!!!
It is a Lautner (The Segel House) so you know it is special but man what a price!!!
the listing
I love how it says that the house includes a dryer and trash compactor, cause you know, a $33.5 million house sometimes is a little sparse.
