Nicolas Cage Loses Two Mansions in Auction
Nicolas Cage saw two of his many homes go on the auction block today. Both homes are his investment properties in New Orleans. They are estimated to be near $3 million dollars and Cage can’t pay for either of them.
Regions Bank which is the bank that Nicolas was being foreclosed by bought the homes at the auction. One home is located in the French Quarter and the other in the Garden District. Regions paid $2.2 million for the Garden District home located at 2523 Prytania Street. The French Quarter home located on Royal Street was bought for $2.3 million. Both homes were over 10,000 square feet big.
Since Cage is broke, I’m sure this is the first auction we’ll see from the famous actor who loved to spend of the fruits of life. Next up might just be that castle he owns in Germany.
Debbie Gibson home in LA avoids foreclosure; Plastic surgeons rejoice
Honk honk!
Debbie Gibson and her sweet surgically-maintained 39-year-old body have dodged the dreaded foreclosure bullet.
Big Time Listings reports that the 1980s-era pop tart unloaded her 1,733-square-foot lemon in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills — located at 1522 Forest Knoll Drive — for $900,000 in a short sale transaction.
That’s $375,000 less than what she paid for the quaint two-bedroom love shack back in 2005.
The good news is that the bank gets stuck with the loss, ensuring Gibson is able to keep spending freely on silicone, suction and such to keep her electric youth and doesn’t get lost in your eyes.
Only in my dreams could I imagine that anything is possible like this. I’m losin’ myself at the thought … what a foolish beat.
Michael Jackson will kill you …
… if you mess with his “priceless and irreplaceable” items from “Neverland’s trove of memorabilia” that he doesn’t want to auction off, according to Yahoo.com.
Seriously, folks, you can’t make this kinda stuff up:
Darren Julien, said in a sworn statement filed with a Los Angeles court that the singer’s representatives even tried to intimidate him into postponing the sale.During a Feb. 9 meeting at a fast-food restaurant in Los Angeles, he said, one of Jackson’s employees warned that the auctioneers would be in danger “from Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam,” if they didn’t call it off.
“He told us that Dr. Tohme and Michael Jackson wanted to give the message to us ‘that our lives are at stake and there will be bloodshed,’” Julien said, referring to Jackson business manager, Tohme Tohme.
I totally want the chalis that held all of “Jacko’s” Jesus Juice if this auction eventually goes down. That way I can have conversations like this:
“Here Gav, why don’t you try some of my Jesus Juice — it’ll take you to happy places”
“No thanks Mike, last time I did that, my ass felt totally ripped the next morning…”
Or something like that.
Madonna house in Wellington FL
So “Madge” is taking time away from her recent gig as homewrecker, setting her sights on way more important things like becoming a world-class jockey.
True story. And Page2Live.com has it:
” … the singer is expected to continue her horseback riding training, including jumping and polo. Madonna first spent two weeks in Wellington in January with her personal trainer. She left for New York City but returned a week later to hammer out the lease details and hang out with polo superstar and Ralph Lauren model Nacho Figueras.”
Oh and what a great deal they struck with a $50,000 per month rental on a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom fixer upper that expires on March 31.
Guess no one informed the 50-something freak starlet that Florida real estate values are pure crap right now. Maybe it is the same genius who still dresses her up in all those crazy costumes that reveal her gross old ladiness.
Yeah, that must be it.

Bob Dylan’s home in Malibu smells like crap
That’s what his neighbors are telling the Los Angeles Times, anyway:
” … neighbors are claiming in an increasingly onerous dispute over a porta-potty at his sprawling ocean-view estate on Point Dume. Residents contend that the nighttime sea breeze sends a noxious odor from a portable toilet on Dylan’s property wafting into their homes. The stench has made members of one family physically ill and forced them to abandon their bedrooms on warm nights, they claim. For more than six months, Dylan has ignored their complaints and their pleas to remove the outhouse, the downwind neighbors say.”
Perhaps just like Reuben Carter — number one contender for the middleweight crown — Dylan had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down.
