and the trend is…
SPENDING!
What happened to the housing crisis? Brad and Angelina have just purchased a 1000-acre pad known as Chateau Miraval in the South of France. The village is called Brignol.
The price: a little over $60 million (according to E!).
Included in the hefty price tag: 35 bedrooms, a vineyard known as Miraval, lake, forest, moat, swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, gym sauna, jacuzzi, and banquet hall.
According to an insider, “They’ve already spent almost another million on furniture and the whole family can’t wait to move in.”
Move in date is within 3 months.
Neighbors include Bono of U2 and Johnny Depp — should be some serious block parties!
TMZ has just reported that Jay and B are settling down as well.
Their crib, though less impressive that the power Jolie-Pitt’s is still impressive at 15,000 square feet.
Located on one of the most upscale streets in Scarsdale (New York State), the colonial style mansion has been under construction for about 6 months.
NOW HOW ABOUT SOME TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT FOR THE REST OF US!
Hey guys, if you haven’t noticed already it’s Memorial Day so get out of your house, off your computer, and start the celebration. Summer is here to stay.
New York City is empty as the flocks have taken off for the summer retreat of the Hamptons. The celebs have followed suit with the openings of the major summer hotspots – Dune, Pink Elephant, etc. Click here to view the exclusive invite.
The crowd here can usually be tough on scoring a ticket in, so if you’re not one of the good ol’ boys or girls, the best route to summering Hamptons style is to score a great deal on a summer houseshare. Basically going in with 50 someodd people that you may or may not know to grab a huge party house. These are usually the most fun places anyway with all the ammenities to throw a massive pool party included. A lot of them even come with VIP tickets to the nightlife venues.
TIP: Get used to the verb ”to summer” or you’ll be outed as a visitor for sure. You’re summering in the Hamptons, not visiting, not vacationing. It may be odd, but so is most of the rich and famous lifestyle.
Hamptons shopping post to come!

In Hollywood the bikes are coming out in full force! Whatever the reason is, being green or keeping fit, we love seeing the stars on their rides.
When getting a bike you could go a few directions depending on your personal “cool” factor. Each one of these stars below are different. Kevin Jonas rocks the lowrider, Hillary Duff pulls doubletime between Starbucks and her beach cruiser, Joel Madden is revving things up with his chopper-styled ride, and Chloe Sevigny chats away with her folding green machine.
Choose your ride carefully, and happy gasless travel!

As more New Yorkers flock in droves away from the place known as Club Row (Home of Marquee, Bungalow 8, Pink Elephant, and a slew of other previously premiere New York venues), so too do the celebs.
Long before the New York socialites disappear, and the B & T move in, do the celebrities abandon ship. Likely sick of the paparazzi shots, drunk driving tickets, and overall poor media approval of their drunken nights (See Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan), these celebs are now flocking to secret, more exclusive, intimate venues in the Big Apple.
Goldbar, Socialista, Upstairs, Beatrice, are all relatively new venues that host small celeb packed environments promising no paparazzi interaction.
Dicaprio is often a staple at Upstairs on Sunday Nights – a personal friend of the owner Danny A. Danny’s claim to fame comes through Marquee as celebrity promoter extraordinaire. In this video on TMZ.com he gets pulled over on 5th avenue with Leo in tow.
We were at Upstairs last Wednesday when John Mayer, Hillary and Hayley Duff were all in attendance.
Here’s a map of the four venues listed. Bottle buying is strictly enforced unless you’re on a list or a beautiful lady. Good luck!
