According to the Daily Mail, Mel Gibson’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, just won’t sell (oh, boy, do I really want to do another post about a Greenwich house after the last one caused so much trouble?). It’s been on the market since 2007, when the price was set at $39.5 million. Two years later, it [...]
Jon and Kate Gosselin have had their hands full lately–not just with those cute kids of theirs, but with their marital troubles (they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, but not together), an investigation into whether TLC is violating child labor laws by filming at their house, and even some allegations of pet abuse. Then I [...]
Actor Nicolas Cage is known for his love of real estate. He always seems to be buying and selling something, somewhere. Take this Garden District mansion, for example, that he renovated and is now selling for $3.45 million in New Orleans. It’s huge–13,176 square feet–with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths.

Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. Last week I had lots of people visiting my site, looking for “the house for sale from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” I assumed it was the house Ferris lived in, but it turns out it [...]
Diane Keaton has put her Spanish Colonial Revival-style, Beverly Hills mansion on the market for about $11.9 million. It reminded me of the beautiful photos published in Architectural Digest of her home last year. It was built in 1927 by architect Ralph Flewelling and has 7 bedrooms and 9 baths. Keaton purchased it only 2 [...]
Did you happen to see Oprah’s interview with Elizabeth Edwards last week? It made me sad, but I won’t get into that here. What made me happy was getting such a great tour of their ranch near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I had been dying to get a look inside it since seeing aerial photos [...]
Six years ago, when a friend took me to see “Something’s Gotta Give” with her, I knew it was a Diane Keaton-Jack Nicholson romantic comedy. What I didn’t expect was to fall in love with the Hamptons beach house Keaton’s character lives in. It was my DREAM house. My friend grinned and said, “See? I [...]
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting! According to People magazine: “The Hollywood couple, who already have son James Wilkie, 6, announced Tuesday they’re ‘happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed.’” In honor of their happy news, I [...]
I love Sally Field. I love her so much I’m going to resist doing a joke about how I like her–I really like her! I got totally sucked into watching the first two seasons of “Brothers & Sisters” on DVD this month while working on this post about the sets. She plays Nora, the matriarch [...]
Welcome to another Movie Monday, when I feature the beautiful homes used in television and film. With due respect to the fine actors in the 2008 version of “Brideshead Revisited,” the hauntingly beautiful Castle Howard was the true star of the movie for me. Castle Howard is considered to be one of the grandest private [...]
