Taylor Swift real estate gift to parents a $1.4 million country home in Nasheville?

[Apr. 16]

Grammy winner and country music legend Taylor Swift, famous for “Our Song” among other chart-toppers, and a cameo appearance in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), just plunked down $1.4 million for real estate. She actually bought a home in Nashville, Tennessee as a gift, according to Us Magazine. And it wasn’t even for her. No, this Dixie darling, just barely legal to drink in most states, bought the 5,000 sq. ft. home for her parents. And she bought a new hot pad for herself in Los Angeles as well just about the same time she was busy putting a bow on the real estate in the Deep South, since she’s been spending so much time in California. Realtors say she even made sure the new post place on the West Coast is likely to have a guest room ready wehn mom and dad head West to visit. Who could ask for a better kid?

“It’s an incredible house,” a source close to Taylor Swift told Us Magazine.

LA Times reports:

The property, built in 1925, boasts three bedrooms and 5,000 square feet, complete with a blue stone terrace and sizable outdoor fireplace. The Real Estalker, which has pictures of the place, said records show the sale went down toward the end of last year.

The new home would be the second for the Swift parents in Tennessee. They have a larger and no less luxurious lakefront home in historic Hendersonville, according to The Real Estalker blog, which they bought for $790,000 in 2004. They also sold beachfront property in Cape May, New Jersey, for $2.4 million in 2005 after purchasing it for just $485,000 back in 1997. The Swift family certainly isn’t hurting for property or cash, it seems, but it sure was nice for Taylor Swift to do so much for her parents.

Taylor Swift also has purchased a home in Los Angeles, according to PopEater. A source has said, “She is in L.A. so much — and she was paying a fortune in hotel charges!”

Michael Jackson doctor outed for death day affairs with strippers?

Celebrity Scandal!

Michael Jackson doctor outed for death day affairs with strippers?

[Apr. 15 — Update on Dr. Conrad Murray Trial for the celebrity death of Michael Jackson]

Appalling is the word that comes to mind to describe this sad celebrity scandal. Dr. Conrad Murray, once the personal physician of green celebrity superstar Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, may have been involved with at least three different women the day the superstar and green celebrity rocker died. Police say records show that Dr. Murray was on the phone with a cocktail waitress from Houston, where Dr. Murray keeps his offices, just minutes before Michael Jackson died, according to TMZ . Murray had met Sade Anding in Houston where she was working in a cocktail lounge at the time, and prosecutors believe she was a girlfriend of Murray’s, among several strippers.

From TMZ:

Prosecutors say the call proves Murray was paying attention to his girlfriend, and not MJ, during the critical period before Michael’s death. And, prosecutors want to admit a $500 check that Murray wrote to Anding “after the two came back from a social outing.”

What the payment may have entailed is left to speculation. But prosecutors say Dr. Conrad Murray had conversations with two other women earlier on the day Michael Jackson died, June 25, 2009. Prosecutors also want to admit a text message from a stripper at Spearmint Rhino Gentleman’s Club in Las Vegas. They say text messages between the stripper, Michelle Bella, and Dr. Conrad Murray took place about 8:30 a.m. on the day Michael Jackson was reported dead. Another woman, Bridgette Morgan, says she called Dr. Murray the same day to ask about a plane ticket Dr. Murray reportedly was purchasing for her to fly her out to Jackson’s home.

Another stripper claimed she was working at Sam’s Hof Brau the night before the green celebrity died, and she said Dr. Conrad Murray was there late that evening, according to another report by TMZ. She reported she had seen Michael Jackson himself at the establishment one night after it had closed — “in a deep sleep,” says TMZ — in the weeks before Jackson died, and she also said that Dr. Murray had invited her to Jackson’s home in Holmby Hills.

Not Winning: Tiger Blood not truth serum according to Warner Bros?

Charlie Sheen News!

Tiger Blood not truth serum according to Warner Bros?

[Apr. 15]

Despite Charlie Sheen and his seeming never-ending rant about how all the people at Warner Bros. and CBS are going to regret their firing him from Two and a Half Men, it seems Sheen is lying only himself. Maybe his tiger blood needs a touch of truth serum. Sources at Warner Bros. have said, unequivocally, that Sheen in no way will be returning to the show and that there were and are no discussions in place to negotiate a return, past, present, or future. And more, when it comes to any debate about whether or not he will return to the show Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen is not #winning.

Entertainment Weekly reported Sheen as having said Tuesday:

“There’s been discussions, but I was asked not to divulge anything,” he told Boston radio station WBZ-FM on Tuesday night. “Had they told me at the end of season 8 that that behavior wasn’t going to be cool, I would have adjusted it.”

On Thursday, however, Entertainment Weekly followed up with this report:

In a letter sent to Sheen’s attorney, the studio’s counsel wrote: “Those statements are false. As you know, there have been no discussions, there are no discussions and there will be no discussions, regarding his returning to or having any involvement with the series.”

But the attorney for Charlie Sheen, Marty Singer, tells a different story. He says they absolutely have been in discussions. Uh-oh. So who is lying to whom, now? No telling with this much money on the table.
