Has Your Home Ever Been Robbed?

Paris Hilton's Hollywood Hills home had an unfortunate encounter with a thief this morning; it was robbed of an estimated $2 million worth of jewelry and other belongings. Poor thing! While I can't say there's $2 mill. worth of anything laying around my house, I sure wouldn't be a happy camper if a burglar penetrated it. Fortunately, I've never had that displeasure.

On the Market: The Polaroid Beach House

CasaSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 07:00:55 -0700

The celeb-ridden Polaroid Beach House, an infamous party spot frequented by scenesters like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in Malibu, has just been put on the market for the whopping price of $32 million. The house was basically one big product placement, used by the owners, the Polaroid company, to throw parties for young Hollywood that'd be snapped by paparazzi, discreetly landing their products all over the tabloids. But apparently, that promotional scheme was nixed by "local (rich) neighbors who objected to the around-the-clock revelry in the summer of 2007." To see more photos and hear more about the property, read more.

The listing for the four-bedroom, five-bath property reads:

We are pleased to offer the rare opportunity to own 80' of sandy Carbon Beach-frontage. Included are approved plans to build an exquisite 6,000 approximate sq. ft. estate with beachfront pool and spa and the existing 4 bedroom and 5 bathroom Malibu Classic Home. This double wide lot sits in the middle of the premier west coast beach.

Got 32 mill. to spare? Can you keep quiet for the neighbors? Maybe this one's for you.

Deck the Haus: Chiasso Mod Trees

Is it me or do these Chiasso Mod Trees ($20) just scream Paris Hilton? Or maybe Legally Blonde? I don't really love them (I actually think they're rather tacky). However, with coordinated décor they could have a lot of potential. I also like that Chiasso describes them as "contemporary plastic"—what does that mean? How would you class up these mod holiday trees?
