Paul Allen’s monster estate lists at $41 million

Microsoft Cofounder Paul Allen died a year ago and his family is ready to part with one of his estates.  The massive (21,000 square feet) home is in Atherton, California.  One of the top 5 most expensive zip codes in the US. The listing give almost NO details, letting the photos and reputation speak for themselves. But we know it's 21,030 sf, 7 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms.  There's a theater, walk-in closets you could get lost in and is designed in quintessential contemporary fashion.  My only real beef, and it's a big one... it's 100% beige. Why do people want homes that are 100% beige??  It's hard to tell one room from another! Asking $41,488,000.

‘Grease’ spinoff series ordered at HBO Max

I grew up with Grease and it still has a solid place in my heart. But I also have several friends who wont let their kids watch it because of the belief the chauvinistic behavior of the characters isn't the message they want to send. So I was curious how a Grease series could work in the MeToo world. The new series will be set in and around the world of Rydell High, the school which Danny and Sandy attended in the original movie. According to HBO Max, “Grease: Rydell High” reimagines...

Miley and Cody get tattoo’s together on date

The destined to fail union of Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson has ratcheted up another notch.  The two went out and got tattoo's together. And yes, I understand that ok, they're not matching or say one anothers names. So technically the tattoo curse shouldn't apply. But this relationship is the most reboundy shit ever and it wont take much voodoo to push it off a cliff. Cyrus took to Instagram to show off her new ink: a heart with a dagger stabbed through it and a ribbon with the words “Rock...

This is not going to be fun.  Felicity Huffman began her 14 day sentence today at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, CA. She pled guilty in May to paying now-notorious admissions fixer Rick Singer $15,000 to have her college-age daughter’s SAT scores jacked up. I wonder if this will be the same type of thing Martha Stewart went through. A club fed style retreat pr...

Obama would be six percentage points ahead of current front-runners Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren - each of whom would secure 20% of the New Hampshire vote should the First Lady throw her hat into the ring.
