Weekend Wrap Up

Last week Your Mama discussed and dissected the Sunset Beach, CA house that Oscar winning actress Sandra Bullock's cheating chopper customizer ex-huzband Jesse James has on the market for $4,995,000 (reduced from $6,750,000).

At that time we mentioned to oft repeated rumor that Mister James was fixin' to relocate to Austin, TX where he has bidness concerns and where, perhaps not coincidentally, his ex-wife has a large and lavish spread.

According to the peeps at gossip juggernaut TMZ, Mister James had did the real estate deed and bought himself a 7-acre estate in Austin that includes 9 bedrooms and 7.5 poopers, plenty of room for him to ramble around in all by his lonesome or for all his kids and baby mommas to visit at the same damn time.

The $1,980,000 mansion includes a large home fitness center, theater, a six car garage/workshop, several swimming pools and ponds, and outdoor fireplace next to the party-sized spa, a crick crossed by a bridge, rolling lawns, and mature shade trees galore.

Sounds like the former President Bill "Couldn't Keep It In His Pants" Clinton and his smart and staunch Secretary of State wife Hilary Rodham Clinton just might going country. Well, sort of. According to the New York Post Bill and Hil have their eyeballs on Clover Hill Farm, a dee-luxe 20 acre compound in Bedford Hills, NY that carries a price tag of $10,900,000. The 7,000 square foot main house has 5 bedrooms and 6 full and 2 half poopers.

The bucolic property comes complete with a swimming pool, stables–Your Mama defies any of the children to think of Bill or Hil sitting up on a pony without fallin' out–a koi stocked pond with spitting fountain, artists studio, and two guest houses perfect for the suited up Secret Service mens and/or for the soon to be married daughter Chelsea and her man-mate when they come a'visiting.

Conservative radio claptrapper Rush Limbaugh can finally pack his bags and move his right wing things out of New York City, a lefty-liberal city he loathes because of its high taxes. According the inestimable Josh Barbanel at the Wall Street Journal–who the children may recall used to pen the celebrity real estate gossip for the New York Times–Mister Limbaugh's Fifth Avenue condo with its surprisingly feminine and muralific day-core is currently in contract for just under its final asking price of $12,950,000.

The dee-voon Connie Stevens, a one-times actress/sex kitten who parlayed her fame and brains into a mountain of millions with her Forever Spring skin care and make-up lines, dumped her Manhattan digs for around $7,000,000 according to The Real Deal. The dee-voon Miz Stevens, who bought the 54th floor penthouse pad at the Upper West Side's towering Park Millenium building way back in 1994, reportedly watched the World Trade Towers collapse from her aerie on September 11, 2001.

The 2,479 square foot condo, which has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 poopers, is located in the same upscale Manhattan apartment tower where Oscar nominated actor Alan Alda (M.A.S.H., The West Wing) and his wife own 3-contiguous and presumably combined condos. Also in residence–at least when they're not holed up in their boo-teek hotel sized ocean front mansion in the Hamptons–is potty mouthed and kinky haired radio tycoon Howard Stern and his wife Beth Ostrosky. Greenwich, CT based Regis Philbin also maintains a pied a terre at the Park Millenium building but hunnies we can barely bring ourselves to type his name. Have mercy butter beans, that man is like fingernails on a chalkboard to Your Mama. At least his former sidekick Kathy Whatserface has camp appeal and, much to our delight, acts like a damn fool most of the time. But that Reeg fella? We just don't get it.

Anyhoo, the pending sale was first reported in late May 2010 by the New York Times

Miz Stevens also owns homes the Holmby Hills area of LA and an "enormous log cabin" in Jackson Hole, WY

Former Dateline dive Stone Phillips recently scooped a penthouse in New York City's Gramercy Park neighborhood according to the New York Times. The 2 bedroom and 2 pooper pad that was last on the market at $4,750,000 has wrap around terraces and southern exposures over the private, residents only park.

The penthouse, which comes with a deeded key to the park, was offered in estate condition. That means Mister and Missus Phillips will likely be spending a many more dollars having a smart architect and a nice, gay decorator do over their new digs before they actually settle in.
