MONEY IS NO PROBLEM FOR DR PHIL

Can you keep a secret? Dr. Phil is throwing his wife, Robin, a lavish 70th birthday in St. Barts for their family and close friends and he has a lot of special surprises planned for the January bash. The former talk show host originally hoped to make it a surprise party, but Robin caught wind of the idea, so now he’s planning some other special things for her. He’s trying to get either Elton John or Paul McCartney to perform over the weekend celebration and is flying in some of her longtime friends from grade school! Robin loves fashion, so one of her surprise gifts is a trip to Paris where she will have some couture dresses made at the House of Dior. Phil is picking up the entire tab, which he’s estimating to cost $10 million! (We didn’t realize how wealthy he is!)

EVEN MELANIA TRUMP CAN’T RESIST A SALE

The former First Lady uses an expensive skincare line from a top Beverly Hills dermatologist, which is only available at the doctor’s office. Recently she was delighted to learn they they were having a Black Friday sale. She ordered $20,000 worth of serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging treatments. My source says Melania is a repeat customer and usually has the goodies delivered to her in Palm Beach, spending approximately $2,000 a month on the products. The stuff rarely goes on sale, so Melania jumped at the chance to stock up, ordering a years supply in one swoop. Now here’s the funny part, Melania asked for FREE SHIPPING since the order was so large – and even though it wasn’t part of the promotion – she got it!

CAN YOU AFFORD BRAD PITT’S FURNITURE?

 

When he’s not acting or producing, Brad Pitt dabbles in various business ventures, including rose wine (Miraval) and cashmere clothing (God’s True Cashmere)  Now he’s hoping to expand his empire into home furnishings.  Brad’s always been fascinated by architecture and design ( we’ve seen him at various Modernism shows in Los Angeles over the years) so now he wants to design furniture and accessories.  He’s working with European craftsmen and hopes to market his upscale items later next year.  Don’t get your hopes up – his price points are expected to be for the top 1%. REALLY expensive. Think $1500 for a small vase and $15,000 for a chair. That counts ME out…

TOM HANKS BOUGHT HIS DREAM HOUSE FOR 26 MILLION

Who would have guessed that TOM HANKS would be the buyer of the most expensive residence sold in California so far this year? The “Big” star spent over 26 million dollars on a swanky ultra-modern 14,500 sq ft Pacific Palisades compound. Since his two sons with Rita Wilson are almost grown up, it might sound surprising that Tom is moving from a 7000 sq ft house into such a big one. Actually he IS downsizing in a big way. The new home has only four bedrooms and five bathrooms. You can imagine how LARGE the rooms are! And the bonus rooms must be spectacular. We assume Tom has put a lot of thought into this purchase – our favorite movie of Tom’s is “The Money Pit.”
