Right here’s who’s doing what:
Sharon Stone as soon as needed to purchase a 56,000-square-meter island. The factor’s within the Adriatic. Off Croatia. And it was unloading for $1.8 mil — and that was give or take a kuna’s change fee.
Brad Pitt. Massive with houses. Like his marriage, he fights over them. As soon as his had portions of travertine marble, hand-carved in Rome. Even the bathroom was marble. And he had water pour from a ceiling rainhead — no precise bathe factor. The splash overflowed onto the ground. Undecided how that helped him. Additionally who cares.
Madonna as soon as purchased a 9.5 million pound place on the Wiltshire-Dorset border. She then examined a Sixteenth-century 10-roomer factor within the Adriatic with stables and what everybody wants — a croquet garden. In case you ask, King Edward schlepped there.
All look to get out of the USA. Johnny Depp went for a rustic pile close to Tub, England, which he thought of the proper spot for his — excuse the phrase — temperament.
And don’t knock residence lives of our pols like Biden, Kamala, our Mayor. Madeleine Albright as soon as mentioned: “We’re hardworking individuals who generally should stay in subconditions. In Moldova, our ambassador there washed dishes within the bathtub.”
For his well being
I’m not sitting up nights interested by Eddie Murphy, however I’m instructed — prepared? — he requested peach-scented potpourri in his lodge room. He has a germ phobia. Washes his arms 100 occasions a day. Additionally afraid of catching a bug whereas filming a love scene. For a love scene higher he ought to’ve washed different elements.
It’s a ruff life
And all proper already with police canine Commander chewing on White Home friends. Barbara Bush’s freckled English spaniel Millie was referred to as DC’s ugliest hound. And Clinton’s black-and-white cat, Socks, napped on the South Garden. (Biden, too.)
Farewell, pal
We simply misplaced NY1’s Ruschell Boone. I liked her. We liked her. NY1 liked her. And he or she liked everybody. Her life, her household, her work. Then got here one imply situation that didn’t love her.
She sat in my residence. Instructed me she got here from Jamaica. Cashiered at a grocery. Then Lord & Taylor. Then reporter. Married. Had two boys. Residence was Astoria. Subsequent got here an evil. An emergency. Hospital.
She misplaced 50 kilos. When launched she came to visit to my residence. She introduced me Jamaican rum and flowers. We cried collectively. Her co-workers despatched items. Some overnighted. Her fellow reporters stored in contact. Pat Kiernan referred to as. Frank DiLella stayed shut. Annika Pergament despatched flowers. Errol Louis, telephone calls. Jamie Stelter and Lewis Dodley wrote playing cards.
Could the following life love her the best way we did.
All the time a break day
Cease tales on “how laborious” BS Biden works. I had the following desk — our napkins almost touched — at then-Sen. Alphonse d’Amato’s 2004 marriage ceremony to now-divorced Katuria. Biden preened. Posed. Drank. Did pictures. Smiled. Extra pictures. Drank. Patted backs. Preened. Extra pictures — offering the particular person was a VIP. He reveled in his personal significance. Final time this man labored was in rehearsing his son.
A brand new factor’s being perfected in Washington. Thieves are coaching to be topless muggers. This manner you received’t bear in mind their faces.
Not solely in DC, youngsters, not solely in DC.
