This Just In: Mr. Big Makes a Commitment

CasaSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 07:45:43 -0700

According to Real Estalker, Chris Noth, a.k.a. Sex and the City's Mr. Big, and his longtime girlfriend, actress Tara Wilson (and mother of their son Orion Christopher Noth), purchased an 1,854-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Joseph Eichler-esque modernist home in Sherman Oaks, CA for $1.445 million in August 2007. I'm sure the anticipation of his paycheck from the Sex and the City movie made it easy for Noth to fork over a big million or so for the house, and a three bedroom is also the perfect size for his family of three. I personally love the place, and am eager to see what direction he takes the décor. I hope he doesn't go for a midcentury antigarden . Until then, I'll just have to drool over Noth when I see him on screen at our SATC movie screening party tonight, and I can also look forward to his pairing in a romcom with Renee Zellweger.

Steal of the Day: Honeycomb Print Bolster

CasaSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 08:30:23 -0700

I'm sorry to say this, Mr. Bolster, but you have little functional value, aside from aesthetics and an elbow rest every now and then. So I have a hard time dropping big bucks on you. However, if you're outfitted with a cool honeycomb pattern, a handsome espresso color, and if you don't break the bank like Monsieur West Elm Honeycomb Print Bolster ($19.99) then I'll gladly snatch two of you up. Just don't let it go to your head or anything because, after all, you are just a pillow.

This Just In: Conan Moves to Brentwood

CasaSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:00:02 -0800

It seems that getting back to hosting Late Night hasn't kept Conan O'Brien quite busy enough. The red-haired funny man has also been real estate shopping, and recently purchased a 6 bedroom, 8.5 bath New England Traditional-style gated home on Tigertail Road in Brentwood, California. This will be quite the geographic move for Mr. O'Brien and his family, who currently live in New York City at The Majestic on Central Park West, which he purchased in late 2006 for a reported $9,950,000.

To hear more about the Brentwood home and to see some pictures, read more.

The Brentwood house is a massive and well-appointed beauty, featuring six fireplaces, six en suite bedrooms, a 1500 bottle wine room, a paneled library with bar, and a 60 feet-long veranda. The master bedroom suite comes replete with balcony, sitting room, dual baths, and giant fitted closet. Other awesome amenities include a screening room, a spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a heated pool.

What do you think of the new house? Is it too East Coast trad for the West Coast, or do you think it's big and beautiful enough for any entertainment mogul, regardless of locale?
