Wednesdays with Wrecks and Celebrity Stalking

Someone got a haircut…..Let me introduce you to skeletor!!!

001

Wrecks had so many matts in his coat that shaving him completely was the only option the groomer had because the matts were so tight and close to his skin!  She did leave him with a little goatee action…

Now on to our little Sunday night celebrity stalking in LA.  While we were on Hollywood Blvd I picked up a map to movie star homes…

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 082

So thankful for a little GPS that we had in the rental car!  The first place that it lead us to was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Gardner’s gate…

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 088

Most of the star’s homes that we visited were behind huge gates, so we were never able to see their actual houses (sad face).  I wanted to know what was behind these gates…so as soon as I was at my computer I went looking for pictures of their houses on google.  Here is an aerial view of Ben and Jennifer’s home…

The one house that didn’t have a gate was Betty White’s.  It was so small and cozy looking.  I attempted to find an aerial view of her home but all that came up was pictures of the White House….go figure!  Oh and I forgot to mention that after we left Santa Monica the sun went down…Celebrity stalking at night seemed a whole lot more creeper!

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 094

Next up was Jay Leno.  Here is his gate…

And here is the aerial view that I found.  Check out the gross pool.  I guess he is to busy driving all his cars around to clean it!

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Millinno’s gate was not that impressive…

But behind the gate lies a pretty nice pad…

We found Taylor Swift’s pathway up to her house, but we never found the driveway.

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 113

The road in the picture below is the one that we took to get to her house and where the gate is in the picture above is located on.

Taylor Swift April 23, 2011. Country music superstar, Taylor Swift, has reportedly splashed out $3.55 million for this secluded celebrity compound in the Franklin Canyon area of Beverly Hills. The four-time Grammy winner purchased the property in the first week of April through a trust and had only just few weeks ago purchased her family a $1.4 million home in a historic neighborhood in Nashville Tennessee, where she herself owns a $2 million condo. Originally built in 1941, the Cape Cod Colonial home sits on a 1.37 acre lot at the end of a long gated drive. The home has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms plus a detached one bedroom guest cottage with vaulted ceiling, fireplace and a compact but fully equipped kitchenette. Additional features of this romantic and serene compound include: first-floor master bedroom with dual baths and walk-in closets, two upstairs guest bedrooms, spacious living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and downstairs office. French doors throughout, covered patio and outdoor fireplace, landscaped gardens and paddle tennis/sport court.

What a cute little place…

Here is Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitts amazing gate. 

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 118

I guess Jenn (I get to call her Jenn now since I have been to her house and on the set of FRIENDS…we are like BFF!  ha!)  got the Beverly Hills home in the divorce.  She recently remodeled the whole house and sold it for $42 million dollars.  Chump change!

Doug’s favorite gate on our night stalking adventure…The Playboy Mansion…

Day 2 Cali Vacay - LA tour 106

I found a picture of the gate in the daylight and thought that I would share it…

So many sinful things have probably happened on this property…

We stopped at a couple of houses in Malibu on Wednesday while driving up to San Fran.  The gates look way better in the day light!  This is Julia Roberts’ home…

This Georgia girl tore down two houses on her property to build her dream home…

Matthew McConaughey’s gate really reflected his Texas style to me…

This is the best aerial view I could find of his house…

I had a great time finding all these homes…Doug just went along for the ride.  He is such a trooper!  On to the beach and Disneyland tomorrow…
