CHER IS THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE

Cher is doing her kids Chaz and Elijah a favor and cleaning out her closets so they won’t have to. Although she seems to be living it up these days with her decades younger boyfriend (fiance?) Alexander Edwards, Cher has also started facing her own mortality. The recent death of her mom Georgia seemed to be the catalyst. Cher has accumulated over 5 decades worth of costumes, clothing, jewelry, mementos, etc , and now she’s slowly but surely, downsizing. (Years ago we went to a yard sale at her house and it was FABULOUS!) She hired a professional organizer to help her sort through her mountains of stuff.  She’s selling items, donating things to museums and charity thrift shops, and giving her friends some of her possessions. She wants to make it easy for her kids, when she’s no longer around…

OUR TWO FAVORITE ROOMS IN THE NEW AFFLECK/LOPEZ HOUSE

While Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on their Italian honeymoon (with their kids, no less!) work has begun on the new 60 million dollar 29,000 sq ft Beverly Hills house they bought before they left. They kept the purchase a big secret and nobody knows exactly what they paid for it, but billionaire James Packer once owned it. You already know it has 7 bedrooms and everything else a human could want, but after checking out the photos we picked out the two rooms we love most. The first is the amazingly well-equipped beauty salon that will keep the blended families looking their best. Sigh. Drool. The second desirable room also made us dizzy with envy- it’s the closet – and it looks like an expensive boutique. Now THAT’S breathtaking luxury…

KIM KARDSHIAN’S FORMER “CLOSET” FOR SALE FOR $3.7 MILLION

Back in 2003, when Kanye West started finding some success, he bought a modern house in the Hollywood Hills. When he started dating Kim, she moved in for awhile, until they eventually relocated to a Bel Air mansion. What happened to the 4200 sq ft house? It became Kim’s CLOSET! She had such an enormous wardrobe, even back then, that the entire home was turned into a jumbo closet and storage area just for her clothing. Eventually, Kanye sold the house and Kim found other storage space, but it’s back on the market and now you can buy Kim’s former “closet “ for 3.7 million dollars. Hopefully the family’s new Kardashian Kloset online resale store will clear out some of their many overstuffed closets…

KELLAN LUTZ AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE

We’re so accustomed to seeing Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz shirtless and flashing his abs that we were taken aback when we saw him on the set of his new movie “Syrup.” The movie is about a group of competitive twentysomethings working their way up the corporate ladder. Kellan’s character looks like he’s about to pop out of the closet.

JESSICA SIMPSON WILL DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE – BUT SHE WON’T DO THAT!

Jessica Simpson is crazy about her fiancee Eric Johnson, but she won’t give up and inch of her closet space for him. Jessica has twelve closets in her Beverly Hills mansion carefully designed to store her huge collection of shoes (over 5000 pairs) handbags, clothing, and accessories, but there’s no extra space for Eric’s wardrobe since he moved in. So what did Jessica do? She bought several rolling racks and put them in the office so Eric can hang up his clothes. Something tells us she’ll be doing some major renovations or moving to a bigger place after they get married.

ANGELINA JOLIE CLAIMS SHE HAS A SMALL CLOSET

We were surprised to learn that Angelina Jolie incorporates function and logic into her fashion choices. Angie told Vogue that Brad and the kids tease her because she almost always wears black. She defends herself saying, “It’s utilitarian – it’s practical. Every shirt and jacket goes with every skirt or pants. Every dress goes with every shoe.” She added “And I have a tiny closet.” THERE’S a jolt. Perhaps the most famous and beautiful actress in the world, with multiple mansions, HAS A TINY CLOSET! She seems to be the opposite of the majority of celebrities like Mariah Carey who displayed their humongous closets on Cribs.
