Britney Eyeing an Encino Mansion.

PRICE $5,950,000
BEDROOMS 5
BATHS 6.5
GARAGE 4
YEAR 2007
Britney Spears is reportedly considering buying a $5.95 million mansion in Encino, Los Angeles.
The troubled singer - who was recently given back some of her visitation rights to her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline - viewed the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property yesterday afternoon (07.05.08).
The 7,300 sq ft mansion - which is not far from Kevin’s house in Tarzana - boasts vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, fountains, a spiral staircase, a Jacuzzi, a swimming pool with a spa, an indoor and outdoor dining room, a wine cellar, a family room and a designer kitchen complete with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances.
Britney, 26, recently came under fire after allegedly trashing the $35,326-a-month mansion she rented in Malibu, California.
It was claimed Britney never lived in the mansion, but held parties there, which resulted in massive damage.
The source said: “The house was left a wreck. Cigarette burns and cigarette butts were everywhere - and empty bottles of wine were strewed about the place.
“Most of the furniture was ruined with stains, tears or nicks. Rotting food was left in the refrigerator. Spilled wine soiled the carpets and floors. No one picked up after Britney’s dogs, and many ‘presents’ of dog poop were left behind for the owners.”
America Voted & Jason Castro is Out.
Finally, we have gotten to the part of the competition I enjoy the most…
Who do you guys think will win it this year? I am a big believer that David Archuleta will win. No, I am not a 13 year old girl obsessed with him, although I have found a sickening number of those types online since the beginning of the season and their presence is growing rapidly. Seriously though, last night proved that he is the most talented. I actually thought the other David was kind of boring and Jason Castro needs to completely change his identity asap. Jason was terrible last night, the song choices, corny dreads, I don’t dig his style at all. That look went out with the 1990’s as far as I am concerned and now it is time to update. As for Syesha, she is okay, better than Jason Castro but not as good as “the Davids”.
My prediction for the rest of the show is as follows:
- Syesha is gone next week
- David Cook and David Archuleta are the Final Two
- David Archuleta Wins!
I could be totally wrong though. I know Syesha has it in her to kick some ass if she picks a decent song. David Cook could also come out with an amazing performance next week and step in the way of David Archuleta winning but in my opinion, it is doubtful. David A. has consistently performed at the top throughout the competition, he has a ton of fans and he is young. I think he has the most future potential as a recording artist as well… We will see how this competition plays out and if my preditions hold true.
On a side note, does anyone else hate results shows? I pretty much flip around or watch something else until they give the actual results. There is simply too much nonsense and wasted time during these shows. Nothing that happens is worth watching. They use all these stupid tactics to try to keep people interested, from bands to commercials to trying to trick the audience into believing that their favorite is not safe, it is a ridiculous waste of time. I wish they would just post the results to a website in the morning and forget about the hour long dramatic results show that always leaves you feeling like you wasted an hour of your life.
Audrey Tautou to Replace Nicole Kidman as the Face of Chanel no.5
French actress Audrey Tautou has replaced Oscar winner Nicole Kidman as the new face of Chanel No. 5 perfume.
The ‘Da Vinci Code’ star has been roped in to endorse Chanel’s ever-popular perfume.
The perfume’s new ad campaign will start off with a short film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet starring Audrey Tautou in the leading role.
After directing Tautou in two films Amelie and A Very Long Engagement, Jeunet’s ad campaign is their third collaboration.
The short film is scheduled for release in 2009, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Celebrity Wedding Trends
From landscape centerpieces to dramatic first dances, celebrities are going all out to celebrate their nuptials. In Style Weddings magazine highlights the many stars incorporating the hottest, newest trends for their walk down the aisle:
Luscious landscapes
First it was monochromatic, all-one-color centerpieces, which Heidi Klum and Seal did, then it was multiples - lots of little centerpieces on one table. The new look? Landscapes. According to celebrity planner Michele Rago, who did the flower arrangements for “SVU” star Mariska Hargitay, new trends include bead-strewn crystal candelabras, potted herbs and even natural motifs like mushrooms. Perhaps we will even see rustic landscape centerpieces at Jenna Bush’s upcoming nuptials since she opted for an informal affair at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Why are these a trend? Because celebrities and regular brides are looking for something different. Landscape centerpieces give a whole new dramatic atmosphere to the wedding. They might include pretty bowls, moss, and even just mushrooms. It goes way beyond flowers.
Dramatic veils
Celebrity brides are going retro by wearing dramatic veils for their ceremonies. Veils had fallen out of favor for the “two dress” trend, where brides wear one dress for their ceremony and then change into a different dress for their reception.
For a while, people thought that veils were too classic and old-fashioned (they date back to ancient Rome). A lot more celebrities are adding veils to their dresses, as it’s something every bride can do without spending too much money; a veil is a great way to change your look from ceremony to reception at a fraction of the cost. You can chose to wear the veil even during the reception! But for comfort’s sake, try a shorter style.
Groom’s cake
This Southern tradition has been gaining favor over the last few years and is now a full-blown trend. It’s a way for the groom to personalize the wedding. Foodie Tyler Florence kicked off the trend with his “Steel Magnolias” themed groom’s cake. For his lavish Beverly Hills wedding, Josh Cappo, jewelry designer Erica Courtney’s son, had an armadillo-shaped red velvet cake. The cake should pick up on something about the groom - a favorite sport, activity, hometown or even nickname.
The groom’s cake should be an interest of or connection to the groom. It’s a fun surprise that can be featured during the reception so people can see it, and it’s served with the traditional wedding cake.
Global-inspired favors
Favors are a great way to thank your guests. Willa Ford sent guests home with herb-scented candles that complimented her herb motif. “My Girl” star Anna Chlumsky embraced her husband-to-be’s heritage by giving chopsticks.
For a couple with Indian heritage, all the female guests can receive colorful bangles tied with a ribbon. Or you can embrace your hometown with candy apples for a New York City wedding. People think favors are lame and throw them out, so if you are going to go through the effort, make sure that they mean something!
Formal first dance
As the TV sensation brings ballroom dancing to America’s living rooms, more and more couples (this includes our favorite celebrities) are leading their reception off with classic, choreographed dance moves. Once a couple finds their song, they find the classic dance - from a fox-trot to something sultry like the tango - to choreograph their moves to. People are tired of that fumbling high school dance - they want something memorable! Katherine McPhee even did a traditional dance at her wedding, to a 16-piece band, with twirls and dips (the works).
It’s best to prepare for your first dance with the same care you give to your invitations, gowns, catering, flowers and music. Start planning at least six months prior to your wedding date so that you can choose your special song, the type of dance you want, and take lessons before “wedding frenzy” sets in!
Private lessons are best as you will be able to dance exclusively with your fiancé and choose your own music. And remember, always practice the dance in your wedding gown (or close to it) instead of jeans …
Britney Leaving the Gym (5/6/08)
I am so bored of seeing Britney’s dumb face, I can’t even express how boring she is to me. Honestly, it is not because she is not doing anything interesting, she could dye her hair blue and go out naked and I would still find her boring. I don’t know what happened to me? I used to love her and now it is painful for me to have to look at her. I am 100% over her and uninterested. Since I know how much you guys love her, I work through my pain and post these pix. enjoy!
Ellen Page @ Juno Press Conference in Tokyo (5/7/08)
Ellen is adorable but I didn’t love the movie Juno. I guess I had high expectations because I had heard so much positivity but it didn’t meet them simply because the movie was too uninteresting. I liked the characters but I found them to be unrealistic. I am not sappy and while it was somewhat touching, I guess I found the sappy parts to be a bit annoying. I also didn’t find it funny. I don’t think I laughed at all. Definitely overrated in my opinion.
