This Just In: Sienna Miller's House Vandalized
The London house of Sienna Miller — who has recently been getting slack for dating married actor Balthazar Getty and appearing topless in photos with him — has been vandalized, spray-painted with the word "SLUT" and a pseudo-Satanic circular symbol, according to the Sun. The vandalism apparently occurred despite a burglar alarm system and security lights at the house. We all can think what we want about the couple's relationship, but I think it's pretty terrible that this should happen at Miller's own home.

Arielb38 wrote to me asking,
I am about to move into a new rental in a new neighborhood, very different from where I have been living for the last 15 months. I was wondering if you are aware of any places that do a comprehensive review of home security systems. My roommate wants one, and I've never had one and don't really think that it's necessary.

Do You Live in a Healthy Green City?
Why should a city go green? Well, for one thing, a green, healthy city means that the air and water will be cleaner, which means that the residents will be healthier and less likely to suffer from conditions like asthma. There's also a rapidly growing green economy, which means that there will be better job security in a green city.
This Just In: Mariah Carey Buys in Bahamas
Rumor has it, according to Real Estalker, that songstress Mariah Carey has purchased a 4,000-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 5-bath home on Windermere Island in the Bahamas. Windermere Island, where Prince Charles and Princess Diana once honeymooned, is an exclusive and private vacation destination marked by luxury homes and pink sand beaches. The home, which was last listed at $4.9 million, is composed of four detached buildings connected by marble walkways and terraces, featuring a fully updated "kitchen house" with a large storage area, laundry facilities, and a bedroom and marble bathroom, two deluxe cottages, a "40-foot-long, infinity-edged pool and a beach cabana" facing Savannah Bay, and a "computer operated camera security surveillance system."
DIY: Grass Skirt TV Stand
I first saw Hawaiian grass skirts used to conceal clutter in one of my favorite decorating books, Pad. A few years ago, frustrated with the lack of stylish TV stands available, I decided to create my own grass-skirted version with a shelf I bought at Ikea. (Please forgive the poor quality of the photo; I've since upgraded to a new stand and couldn't take another one.)
By attaching the grass skirt to swiveling curtain rods that open and close like cabinets, you have a fun and funky way to conceal your DVD player and DVDs underneath.
