Spanish villa set to sell for over $1.3 million
from realtor.com
Collette bought the Spanish style property with her husband two years ago. The single storey villa is 2,136 square feet in size and was built in 1924. It boasts three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a compact garden with lots of natural light. There’s also a plunge pool to cool off on hot Californian days.
The Muriel’s Wedding star apparently chose the property because of its location. The villa is conveniently close to the studio where she filmed the Showtime comedy series, United States of Tara.
The Daily Mail reports that ‘now that the show has closed, Toni has decided to take the opportunity for a change of scene.’
The 39 year old actress is currently in negotiations to star in the forthcoming film Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. Collette is set to star as Hitchcock’s long-term friend and assistant Peggy Robertson.
The movie, set to be directed by Sacha Gervasi, is also rumored to star Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Danny Huston, Dame Helen Mirren and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Based on the book by Steven Rebello, the script has been penned by Black Swan writer John McLaughlin. It is hoped that the film, scheduled for a 2013 release, will draw the kind of acclaim won by the 2011 film My Week With Marilyn.
After spending almost 30 years in this piece of treasure, Harrison Ford wanted a change of scenery – so he has put the mansion in Brentwood, CA on the market – for a hefty price of $8.295 million!
If the 69 year old actor gets the full asking price for the property, he will make a neat $1 MILLION profit – Indiana Jones will be impressed by this move! Ford currently resides in the cosy family home with his current wife, Ally McBeal star, Calista Flockhart and their nine year old son, Liam.
At the time of buying the seven bedroom estate back in 1983, Ford – who was one of the biggest Hollywood stars at the time – was married to his second wife, Melissa Mathison. The couple divorced in 2004.
So what does this surplus size property has to offer? As well as boasting seven generous-sized bedrooms (which commands breathtaking views of the city and the ocean), the super luxurious mansion features a regal dining area along with country kitchen, a cosy living area, a family room, eight bathrooms and even a library! The outside is just as beautiful – the grand home possess a picturesque garden.
The gated New England traditional estate has so much more for offer: there’s a poolside guesthouse, plus TWO separate guest suites. The dream home is set back from the street, giving any A-list celebrity the much-craved privacy.
Harrison must have been an ace handy man over the years, as there is a purpose-built detached work shop on the property. The workshop probably makes a good ME-TIME place for the old chap!
Will Harrison miss this hidden jewel? I’m sure he will –but with that fat profit coming his way, I’m sure he has his sights on another superfly mansion!
London is the place to reside and invest if you’ve hit the big time and want to follow the trend. Since the cultural birth of the ‘swinging sixties’, the capital flourished and generated a ‘scene’, attracting rock icons from all over the world to splash out and take residence in the trendiest areas of London. Today, from Mayfair to Marylebone, Soho to Chelsea, an eclectic mix of rock stars inhabits an eclectic mix of London pads. London has many luxury houses for sale so when you hit the big time you will be spoiled for choice.
Madonna
One such star needs no introduction, as this material girl lives up to her name, paying £10 Million for a ten-bedroom inner-city town house in Marylebone. Bounded by Oxford Street and Edgware Road, Madonna is surrounded by boutiques and unique restaurants. Unlike the majority of MTV stars who ‘pimp out’ their cribs with everything that is modern, Madonna’s crib offers an opulent interior, in keeping with its grand Georgian exterior.
Perhaps considered Madge’s contemporary, another certain Lady has crossed the pond and bought herself a luxury apartment north of Oxford Street. Gaga, although not as yet cramming her cases with giant sunglasses and Herman Munster boots (the pad isn’t finished due to the luxurious development not as yet completed), chose one of four penthouse suites. This building, somewhat reflecting Gaga’s personality, boasts a modern concrete exterior, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows. The finished development will provide a communal courtyard (can’t see her using that!), and a roof garden – this diva obviously hasn’t experienced the capricious nature of British weather. As for the finished interior, one can only assume it’ll be as eccentric and brash as her wardrobe. Maybe she’ll be seen sipping champagne whilst reclining on a chaise long upholstered in Parma’s finest ham?
Mick Jaggers House
Sir Mick Jagger
Going back a few decades, the original swagger meister himself, Sir Mick Jagger has pouted and strutted in many a London mansion. He spent some time at Downe House, located at Richmond Hill with former wife Jerry Hall. This Georgian-style abode overlooks the Thames. Built of brown brick and yellow window dressing, it includes four storeys and balconies. Obviously a desirable location, former Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood, and Pete Townsend from The Who previously resided here.
After being chucked out of Downe House by Jerry Hall, and carrying out extensive refurbishments on his next home, Sir Jagger now lives in a five-bedroom Chelsea mansion, again overlooking the Thames.
So if you make it in the big time, chuck several million London’s way. Mix with the elite, dine with the finest, and you never know, you may even get to watch the discarded shopping trolleys and used condoms drifting down the Thames from one of Mick’s balconies.

The property is owned by Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez. Guez originally put the property up for sale in 2008 for $38 million. He then tried to rent the property for $300,000 per month before reducing the price.
Jackson rented the house while he rehearsed for his This Is It tour at the Staples Centre in LA. He lived there with his three children, Prince Michael, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, eight.
The property was listed for a higher price of $29million when it was put on the market in August 2010. It is now available for under $24 million.
The 50-year-old singer died of a Propofol overdose in June 2009. On June 25th 2009, paramedics were called to the house on Carolwood Drive. Jackson was taken to the UCLA medical centre where attempts to resuscitate him failed and he was pronounced dead.
He was scheduled to begin a run of concerts at London’s O2 arena weeks after his untimely death.
Whether Williams is serious about buying the home is still to be seen. However, with an estimated fortune of $149 million, the English pop star certainly has the money to snap up the stunning mansion.
