The 52-room mansion that rapper 50 Cent has called home for more than three years, an estate once owned by boxer Mike Tyson, is up for sale.
The rap artist (real name: Curtis James Jackson III) bought the 48,000-plus-square-foot house in September 2003 for $4.1 million. Since buying the mansion, 50 Cent has reportedly spent up to $6 million renovating the house, including adding a helicopter pad.
Curt Clemens, owner of Century 21 Clemens & Sons in Hartford, told the Hartford Courant Wednesday that he toured the house a few months ago after being contacted by representatives of the rapper who said he wanted to sell the property.
Clemens, who was the listing agent on the house when it was owned by Tyson, said that he was notified a few weeks ago that another real estate agent would be handling the sale.
“I was surprised it hadn’t come on the market because we were expecting it,” Clemens said. “He’s put a lot into it, and it’s all very tasteful, except the stripper poles.”
Hey now Mr. Clemens, I’m sure there’s been alot put into those stripper poles too. Alright maybe not into the stripper poles but onto the stripper poles. Ewwww.
Who the hell needs 52 rooms? Can you imagine having a house so big you can sleep in a different room every week?
Angelina Jolie was left shaken when she discovered a desperate paparazzo had cut a hole in the fence of her rented Czech Republic estate - to snap photos of the actress and her family at play.
Jolie and boyfriend Brad Pitt called police to their Prague home for the third day in a row when she realized how far one cheeky snapper had gone to get exclusive shots.
Police arrested the photographer, who was later fined. The Pitt-Jolies are in Prague together while the actress shoots new movie Wanted.
I understand they’re so frickin hawt, that it’s hard to stay away from them, but leave their personal property alone jackasses! I’m waiting for one of the pap-smears to drop in from a hang-glider or parachute. That would be some cool shit.
Oh yes, the time we’ve all been waiting for… Drum roll please……. Paris Exposed is coming back! Yeah baby! Our favorite little site with all the herpes prescriptions, receipts, photos, and everything else Paris Hilton trash that we could possibly want, is making it’s way back on the ‘net. There’s a little note on the website saying it will be back up in 24 hours!
In other Wonk-Eye news, Paris has re-hired her publicist Elliot Mintz.
“I represent Paris and I’m proud to,” Elliot Mintz told Reuters early on Tuesday after a night out with his client. “We had a wonderful evening, we talked, and our media relationship resumes uninterrupted.”The relationship was, in fact, briefly interrupted in the immediate aftermath of Hilton’s Friday court appearance, when a judge sentenced her to a 45-day jail term for a probation violation stemming from an alcohol-related reckless driving offense last year.
Mintz, 62, released a statement on Sunday, saying he no longer represented the 26-year-old hotels heiress, and he apologized for giving her dubious legal advice.
By late Monday, Mintz was back in Hilton’s good graces. But he declined to explain what had caused the turnaround.
“Whatever there was is no more,” said Mintz, whose clients have included John Lennon and Bob Dylan. “I don’t choose to revisit that which is divisive. I’m only interested in that which is healing.”
I’m sure it’s because he’s the only one she can pay to keep hanging out with her. Who else do you see chillin’ with Paris on a normal basis in the past 2 years?
Wild ‘N Out host Nick Cannon proposed to Victoria’s Secret angel Selita Ebanks in the middle of Times Square on Monday night.
After attending the glamorous Met Costume Institute gala, the couple were chauffeured via Rolls Royce Phantom to Times Square, where Cannon proposed with a $400,000 canary yellow diamond ring as the MTV jumbotron broadcast the words, “Selita, will you marry me?”
I’m ready to start taking bets on how long this marriage will last. I’m going for 8 months cause you can only stand his Bill Cosby impression for so long and she’s too hot for him.
Looks like Sanjina may be up for being a contestant on VH1’s I Love New York 2! Do you think it’s him in THIS video? Sure does look like it! I have a feeling this could be an old video one of his friends had and threw him on the I Love NY website as a joke. What’cha think?
Contestants who want to be on the new season are asked to set up a profile and send in a video explaining why they are the man for the job. While we’re unable to confirm if the real Sanjaya sent in the video, someone posted a very odd video message on VH1’s website … involving sour candy?
