NY, it's about time...jersey we're next! How you doin?" — Wendy Williams, on Twitter.And my favorite quote of all:Ny Senator Roy McDonald, a Republican who voted for equality, to reporters:“You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing. I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this.”
That's right. The de Rossi-DeGeneres gals are packing it in and putting their house on the market for a cool $49 million. Or you can pay $60 million for the whole compound.Ellen and Portia de Rossi-DeGeneres bought the 12,000-square-foot house back in Ott-Seven for $29 million, and then in 2008 the privacy-seeking pair paid $8.5 million for the house across the driveway. They proceeded to tear down that house to make way for expanded grounds, then purchased other properties for another $10 million, to keep their home just to themselves.Now, they want to sell the pieces, or the whole shebang.So, what exactly does $49 million....or $60 million...get you these days?Well, for starters, the house is located in Beverly Hills, on it's own street, behind gates, and sits on 3+ acres. It features a 9,200 square foot main house, two guest houses, and another, completely separate, 3 bedroom house, which can function as a additional guest house for the estate or a separate home office.That separate home has two en suite bedrooms plus living room, dining room and kitchen. There is also additonal space under the pool--you read that right, under the pool--for a fitness center, staff quarters, and a 10-car garage. Access to the under-pool areas are by way of a hidden staircase behind the all-wood pool cabana.There's a master suite, extensive dressing area, three guest bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and "private nudity-encouraging sunbathing terrace". The property features every conceivable amenity and state-of the-art security, all constructed with the finest level of taste, quality, and craftsmanship. The estate features incredible grounds, gardens, and spectacular city views overlooking the Los Angeles Basin. A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a world class estate. Or maybe just a $49 million dollar piece of it?source
