Madonna…is anxious to sell her luxury estate in the Hollywood Hills. Over the past few months the rebuilt and re-landscaped property was only being shown to select bidders by private appointment only. But, according to local Realtors, Madonna just switched to a multiple-listing to further her chances of dumping the property at a whopping $22.5 million. The Manse – which boasts gabled rooftops – rests on 1.17 acres of prime real estate and is accessed by an impressive 500-foot tree-lined driveway. The ritzy digs include a nine-bedroom main house, resort-size lap pool, tennis court, theatre screening room, art studio (natch), a well-stocked bar, and 17,000 square feet of living space. Obviously, Madonna doesn’t play poker, or she wouldn’t tip her hand about how desperate she is to sell and move on. Too rich for my blood, that’s for sure.
Beyonce…the pretty chanteuse’s calendar is getting booked up real fast with prestigious gigs, signaling that the stage Diva’s popularity is not waning in the least. The chart-topper (and headline grabber) is slated to warble at President Obama’s upcoming Inaugural Celebrations at the White House later this month, for example. And, then she’ll no doubt dazzle Super Bowl fans (and music-lovers alike) when she sashays onto the stage on February 3rd at the biggest sports event of the year. A post-baby album is also in the works, folks! Stay posted for updates.
Lady Gaga…while we’re on the subject of recording, word out of the Pop Diva’s camp is that the star of the concert circuit (to her little monsters, at least) has whipped up about 50 tunes that will be considered for pressing on her much-anticipated upcoming release AIRTOP. Ga has promised that the album will be a novel one, in that it will be completely interactive! A ground-breaking move for the music biz, don't 'ya think? We’ll see!
Cyndi Lauper…took a career turn this past week when she entered the topsy-turvy realms of reality TV. The Show titled “Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual” (which broadcasts on Saturday evenings at 9 p.m. on Wetv) follows the Pop Icon through the course of her hectic daily schedule. At first, husband – actor David Thornton – was aghast at the thought of the family being scrutinized under the glare of the sizzling-hot spotlight (he being a trained professional thespian who studied at Yale, after all). “We originally wanted to do a scripted comedy, but I realized that my life is a comedy, so we might as well film it,” giggled Lauper in a frank interview recently with one of the show-biz tabloids. “I think the show is fun. It shows the struggle with the juggle. For most women, it's really hard to work and have a family, and we kind of want it all. I am lucky because my husband helps me so much, but I think that people can relate because it's about trying to do well and stay close as a family.” I’m in your corner, and pulling for ‘ya, Cindi!
