KANYE’S NEW NEIGHBORS ARE BRACING THEMSELVES

Kayne West just purchased a 20,000 sq. ft. (11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms!) house above Beverly Hills in the ritzy gated community of Beverly Park North, and let’s just say some of his high-brow neighbors aren’t exactly circling with the welcome wagon. The community includes a mix of privacy-loving celebrities like Justin Bieber, Adele, and Denzel Washington, along with various business titans. According to my source, the neighbors organized an impromptu emergency meeting when word got out that Kayne was moving in. Although the homes are spread apart on large lots of land (Kayne has 7 acres) the neighborhood and HOA have strict rules and regulations, and some residents fear that Kayne’s over the top lifestyle won’t gel with theirs. While nothing can be done to stop Kayne from moving in, it’s safe to say he’s already been given a copy of the neighborhood rules, and a plan is already in place if he ISN’T in compliance.

GWEN AND BLAKE BOUGHT THE ULTIMATE DREAM HOUSE!

Even a pandemic can’t stop celebrities from buying and selling real estate. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been together for a few years, and they just took a BIG step and bought their FIRST house together and it’s a winner! The best part is- it’s BRAND NEW and no one has ever lived there! According to Variety, the 13000 sq ft Encino hilltop home on 1.6 acres has EVERYTHING – including a state of the art home theater. The builder was asking 14 million and Gwen and Blake talked him down to 13.2 million. Nice way to start a life together…

PHARRELL WILLIAMS WILL BE ISOLATING IN THE LAP OF LUXURY


We always knew that Pharrell Williams was a fashionista (besides looking good, he has a number of fashion businesses and collaborations) but we never would have guessed he preferred to live in an opulent mansion. According to Variety, Pharrell rushed to close a 30 million dollar deal to purchase this fancy residence in Coral Gables, Florida, because he wants to move RIGHT IN and quarantine there in luxury. The house sits on 3.5 acres, has over 17,000 sq ft, 9 bedrooms, 11.5 baths, and every luxury you can imagine, including an elevator. Not bad for a family of six. (Pharrell and his wife Helen have one son and a set of triplets.)

KISS THE PLAYBOY MANSION GOODBYE

The Playboy mansion is now in the process of being mostly demolished and this photo of how it USED to look brought back a lot of memories. The backyard and pool area was ideal for large parties – with lots of food , music, and drinks, not to mention predatory men of a certain age. Young women always outnumbered males and most of the men were a lot older. There was always a fabulous buffet and that’s what attracted hungry young actresses, models etc. My friends and I never missed a party just because of the food. And you could meet those old time Las Vegas comedians and all kinds of athletes. Bill Cosby was always there, enthusiastically greeting gaggles of arriving girls. It was fun while it lasted, but also a little sleazy…
