Mischa Barton's home in Beverly Hills In "totally didn't see this coming" news,
Mischa Barton is selling her home. Which is 7,600 square feet. And in Beverly Hills. And she wants $8.4 million. What in the hell? The description from
Sotheby's:
Ideally nestled behind gates on over an acre of land within exclusive, gated Bowmont Estates in the BHPO, just minutes from all the action on the famed Sunset Strip or to Rodeo Drive, where only the most exclusive boutiques are located, is a magnificent Tuscan villa. Upon entering the large foyer of the approximately 7,600 square foot home (not including two detached guest suites), one senses that they have entered into a very special place from which one can either enter the great family kitchen or cross the beautiful courtyard and enter an even grander foyer, from which a gracefully ascending staircase takes one upstairs to the family areas of the house. Whether congregating in the media room, entertaining while enjoying the canyon views off the large terrace, walking across the expansive yard or along the garden trail, playing in the pool, or just relaxing in the spa, this property calls to everyone to enjoy. Live the life about which most people can only dream.
FYI: Mischa originally purchased this home for $6.4 million back in 2005 when banks were giving out seven-figure loans like candy, so she stands to make $2 million if it sells (it won't). But back to my main point: Mischa Barton lives in a 7,600 square foot mansion in Beverly Hills?!? She can't even
afford an apartment -- how the hell does she afford a mortgage? Wait a minute, she's renting her house out for porn shoots isn't she? I knew I recognized that pool.
Schoolgirl Sluts 47, I believe. What a disappointment that movie was. They should have killed the franchise after 46. You make a 47th sequel to a movie, it's pretty clear you're doing it just for the money.
Scarlett Johansson's house at 7222 Senalda Rd. in Los Angeles In 2007, Scarlett Johansson purchased a pretty kick-ass Spanish Villa in the Hollywood Hills for a mere $7,000,000. After spending untold thousands on renovations,
she listed it for sale last week. For $4,950,000. Ouch. In 2007, I rented a studio apartment in a violent section of San Diego for $400/mo. In the three years that I've been living here -- though I did install a pretty nice shelving unit from IKEA -- I have not lost over $2,000,000. My dignity? Yes. $2,000,000? No. Winner: Me.
Nicolas Cage's castle in Somerset, England Those tax problems
I wrote about a few months ago are catching up with Nicolas Cage. He had to sell his English castle. Bummer. From the
Daily Mail:
He reportedly paid £5 million for the pile, which is built in the shape of the ace of clubs, two years ago. A potential buyer is understood to have offered a figure close to the guide price of £3.5 million.
"The castle has just come on the market - they have stopped all work on it and instead want to sell as soon as possible," reveals a source close to the sale of the Grade I-listed property, which sits in 35 acres of parkland and 12 acres of woodland. "They have already accepted an offer, even though it is below the guide price. Both buyer and seller want to push things through as quickly as possible."
You know what, I'm OK living in a world where Nic Cage doesn't own a castle. We're talking about the same guy that starred in such craptastic films as
Ghost Rider and
The Wicker Man. He shouldn't be living in anything larger than a studio apartment in Van Nuys.
