6 Celebrities Who Have Spent Exorbitant Amounts on Things for Their Homes

by

Watching celebrities flounder in wealth can provide endless entertainment and frustration for the masses. While you may be struggling to make a modest rent payment this month, Drake is dropping $50,000 a night on strippers. The next time you hear a celebrity try to argue that they are “just like you,” this list of their exorbitant “home goods” purchases may come to mind. Included here are a few celebrities who have gone a little overboard outfitting their homes.

Lady Gaga

Evidently Gaga has a bit of a fish fetish and enjoys having a vibrant aquarium inside her home. Recently dropping $60,000 to purchase 27 koi carp, Gaga had them imported directly from Japan. While Gaga may have been “born that way,” her spending habits have definitely had to develop with her income. [Read more…]

2012 Celebrity Fragrances For Women

by

Aside from movies, TV appearances and red carpet events, many celebrities have been joining the fragrance movement and their legions of fans are gladly enjoying the scents. Below are our favourite celebrity fragrances for women in 2012.

SJP NYC by Sarah Jessica Parker

Party in a bottle. That’s what actress Sarah Jessica Parker intended for SJP NYC, her latest fragrance. And yet, when people smell it, they think of different things. Some think of spring or summer, while others are reminded of fruits (strawberries, in particular). That’s because SJP NYC comes with top notes of strawberries, osmanthus and mandarin orange. It also has heart notes of honeysuckle, gardenia and rose; and base notes of rum, musk, vanilla and sandalwood. [Read more…]

Whiners, Cops and Robbers — Hollywood Blog Blather, May 7, 2010

Samantha Jones and Kim Cattrall are not the same person. Obvious, right? But actress Cattrall admits that her own sex life hasn’t been anything like that of character Samantha Jones, from Sex and the City (SatC). In fact, she says she’s sometimes wondered if she’s all that sexual. While she did have a much younger boyfriend, they split last year. Well, I don’t know about you, but of the four actresses in SatC, I always had a thing for Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York. And just my luck, I missed the one (?) episode where she actually got naked. Couldn’t find that episode on YouTube, but here’s an entertaining, NSFW clip from another episode.

Lady GaGa is the latest star to use microblogging site Twitter to complain about something. Seems GaGa wasn’t too happy about the way her performance on American Idol was edited. Her tweet: “FOX POORLY + AMATEURLY edited+cut my performance/musical arrangement on idol. Watch real version. http://bit.ly/apyBrH”

Speaking of cranky celebs, is Lindsay LiLo Lohan really only 23? Wow, by the crags in her face, I could have sworn she was well into her 30s. Ok, yes, dear, you’re 23 and you’re allowed to go out and party, even with your new bodyguard. But next time you get drunk, don’t kidnap friends and go on a road trip. Just saying. Remember, you’re currently considered unbankable as an actress, and unless you clean up your act, you’re not going to act for a long time.

Apparently Bruce Willis had a custom handmade wool and silk rug in his home, selected by his interior designer from a fine rug store in LA, Mansour. In a lawsuit, Mansour claims Willis stained the rug with red wine, altered it a few inches, and wanted to return it a few weeks later, though he supposedly had yet to pay for it. Maybe Lindsay Lohan dropped over to party?

Oh thank goodness. Apparently Sandra Bullock does plan to continue acting. Rumors quoting a friend close to Bullock had the actress supposedly leaving Hollywood to live in Austin and New Orleans, to raise her adopted baby son, Louis Bardo Bullock. However, People says that another source says Bullock will continue to make movies.

Acting is a dangerous business. Long Island police officers who came across what they thought was a hold up of a convenience store were inclined to shoot the gunman, until they deciphered that it was a small-budget movie with no production trucks or lights. But that wasn’t before one officer forcibly disarmed a confused actor of his fake gun. Part of the problem was that while officials did know of the shoot, it took place a day early, and nothing was indicated by the filmmaker Fred Carpenter about a scene with weapons. Ooops.

Cheaters, Hosts, and Partyers – Hollywood Blog Blather, May 4, 2010

by

Does anyone watch MTV anymore? Well if you do, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz will be presenters for this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Voting for N. American fans starts May 12 and ends Jun 5. The show airs on Jun 6. Actually, what I’m more interested in is what Cameron’s got going on with the Yankee’s third baseman A-Rod, whose apartment she apparently was caught leaving. Cammy, you’re glowing, but don’t forget you’re not A-Rod’s first blonde celeb fling. Just ask Kate Hudson.

Speaking of flings, David Boreanz of the show Bones just admitted to cheating on his wife, Jaime Bergman, but only after being extorted. Well David, if your mistress succeeds or your wife takes you to the cleaners financially, you might want to give Naomi Campbell a call. She says money isn’t an issue when it comes to her choice in men. While she has dated quite a few successful men, including her current beau who’s a Russian real estate magnate, she does have her own money.

Betty White’s probably dated her fair share in her 88 years (yeah, 88), though she doesn’t seem the type to kiss and tell. On the other hand, she did tell Meredith Vieira on the Today show yesterday that she “draws the line at nudity,” and that her SNL gig will probably not have much nudity. What a kidder. The wonderful Ms. Betty will be hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, thanks to a Facebook Fan Page campaign spearheaded by her admirers. Something tells me she’d be a lot of fun to party with.

Speaking of partying, Lindsay Lohan and her mom were up late at the Chateau Marmont, according to TMZ, just hours before a deposition. LiLo will be defending herself in a lawsuit against her for partying a little too much during a drunken road trip along the Pacific coast in 2007. I think the verdict is easy to conclude: LiLo loves to party all night. It’s a good thing her dad’s plane got hit by lightning, else he might have been there trying to bogart her fun again.

Speaking of songs about partying all night, why did Britney Spears turn down the song Lady Gaga originally wrote for her? You might know it as the twisted megahit Telephone. No idea why Brit turned it down, but apparently she’s decided to cover it. What’s funny is that when I first heard Telephone, I thought it WAS Britney. The demo posted at Perez Hilton isn’t half bad, with incredibly thumpy bass that’ll make you wish you were on a dance floor, but the vocals need some serious editing. Why? Because Britney actually has a great natural voice and she doesn’t need it to be obliterated with vocoding. The long (9:30) Lady Gaga version featuring Beyonce is shown below.
