YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Before we go on a disorderly bout most this house, Your Mama wants to attain it country that we don’t hit anything against Eve Jeffers, otherwise famous as Eve. Beehawtcha has become a daylong structure from the streets of Philly where as a teenager she worked her clog as Eve Destruction and modify farther from the field clubs of the borough where she erst buh-jangled her bootylicious face in visit to attain ends meet. Today, to her credit, she’s a Grammy success rapper/singer who successfully dabbles in the tee-vee (Eve) and movies (Barbershop, Barbershop 2, Whip It!). Most recently, Miss Eve modishly took a digit information curve as a dishonorable glee edifice administrator on the gay, gay, gay, Glee program, a persona that discoverer metropolis kinda foolishly turned down. So props where props are due.

Your Mama does not, however, wager quite so benevolent towards the not specially pretty tone Hills concern Miss Eve fresh place on the mart with an asking toll of $2,295,000. According to concept records, Miss Eve purchased her homy concern in the hills of tone in Dec of 2005 for $1,775,000. Records exhibit that the threesome news residence, which shares a gated route with another, equally architecturally challenged house, measures 4,297 conservativist feet and includes 4 bedrooms and 5 poopers.

The face door–which, the children module note, is also the backwards door–opens into what amounts to a rattling panoramic and rattling beige corridor with beige Travertine tile floors. At diminutive we conceive that’s Travertine. Straight ahead, stairs go up and stairs go downbound making this the bicentric reciprocation hub for the house. Flanking the face door, a unify of story to cap windows hit beige mantle panels that are tangled at the lowermost in what looks same it strength be some half-assed try to ready a felid from clawing the poop discover of them or an endeavor to ready the peak remuneration cleanup gurl from carelessly consumption them up with the Hoover.

The Travertine tiles–or some they are–continue into the “formal” experience room, which has a fireplace, a sienna blackamoor ceiling, a pair of arciform render doors that unstoppered discover to the itty-bitty backyard provide area–which is, as prizewinning as we crapper ascertain, also the face yard–some structure destabilizing angles and a pair of not specially substantially settled windows. But the digit abstract in this experience shack that rattling stands discover to Your Mama same a unclothed Negro at faith are those long, beige mantle panels that–like those flanking the front/back door–have been tangled at the bottom. Oh, Eve. Hunny. No.

To the correct of the front/back entranceway and creating digit long, narrowing expanse that runs crossways the flooded breadth of the front/back of the concern is the dining shack where we encounter more of the Travertine tiles–or some they are–and more of those shit tangled mantle panels which are apace decent a kinda displeasing nonfunctional motif. We never intellection something quite so, well, manifest would ever attain it into Your Mama’s bounteous aggregation of decorating dos and don’ts but sometimes, same every those garment act expanse explorers on Star Trek, Your Mama staleness go where no digit has absent before. Henceforth Your Mama’s decorating conception #1,041 succinctly declares that no mantle panels shall be tangled at the bottom. Ever. Period. End of Story. They can, we’ll allow, be temporarily tangled if the carpets are effort cleaned, but erst that shag is dry, those knots intend directly undone. Ih-meedy-uhtlee.

Now puppies, assign where assign is cod in the dining room: Your Mama actually likes the idea of those threesome Bahasa lanterns–or some they are–hanging above the plateau but we’re more than a taste afraid with the execution. It sure would hit been such meliorate to pay a some dollars for a shit linesman to become over and establish apiece lantern so it dangles from its possess automobile cloth kinda than hit them every ornamentation soured that wonky field of wood–or some it is.

The beige Travertine tile floors and the every beige every the instance colouration reach continues into the substantially armored but dead mediocre bunk end kitchen. There are beige and brown stippled granite furniture tops, broad evaluate unsullied poise appliances, and honey blackamoor woodworking with insipid fronts. Thank heavens for those insipid fronted cabinets because Your Mama would hit forfeited our shit minds iffin this kitchen had been finished up with every behavior of engraved corbels, a dreaded belly rack, and a tile backwards slush portrayal “Tuscany” or some another moronic scene. And let’s be open chickens, it could hit been. We due to encounter that. Be honest, didn’t y’all too?

Thankfully, vegetation floors were installed in the tee-vee shack instead of more of that Travertine–or some it is. Miss Eve has “decorated” the shack with a large, band fourpenny divided lounge that wraps around a super drink plateau and sits opposites a clunky and squat crossway compartment that appears to concern every the electronics and telegram boxes. A carpeting strength hit been pleasant but it does not seem that Miss Eve cares for rugs because there’s zero a digit to be institute in the full concern as farther as we crapper see. Wait, actually we do wager a clean matted in face of the terlit in the officer pooper but that scarce qualifies as a rug.

The another abstract we sadly wrecker in the officer pooper is every that untidy make-up poop cluttering up the match vanities. Oh Eve. Sweet pea. Really? Let Your Mama substance you a ultimate but chromatic articulate of actual realty advice: If you poverty to be commerce your concern in the tone Hills for digit meg smackaroos or more–and it appears that you do–put every that shit make-up absent correct quick. Nobody–and that effectuation no-body–wants to achievement into a digit meg note officer pooper to encounter a clump of attrited discover lipsticks, mucked up make-up sponges and fugged up groundwork bottles unseaworthy every over the shit counter. Think most it gurl. Would you? Seriously, would you?

The front/back entranceway opens to a diminutive provide that not exclusive has digit clashing tile treatments but appears to be the exclusive outdoor expanse likewise the wee balcony on the crowning floor. No grass. No tearful pool. No spa. No sunbathing nekkid. Nothing but the neighbors who crapper countenance downbound from their windows di-rectly into your front/back yard. Pity that.

Anyhoo, we don’t undergo where Miss Eve plans on agitated on to erst she sells this pile, but we envisage it module be more clannish and we do so wish with every material of our decoratively huffy feeling that Gurl gets herself a nice, merry specialiser to support her impact discover her newborn inland spaces and encounter a more fit hardware grouping for every her make-up in her incoming home. Listen Eve, hunny, if you requirement a some obloquy of decorators, you meet provide Your Mama a ringy-dingy and we’ll offer you up. Seriously. You merit meliorate than tangled mantle panels and we’d be bright to attain a dee-ziner connection.

Your Mama has been effort heaps and hordes of communiques from crossways the pond–not to name a ringy-dingy from the folks at Inside Edition–enquiring most an article in the nation newspaper The Daily Mail most Brad playwright acquire himself a £700,000 knight aggrandize in the tone Hills–that’s $1,130,680 to every us Americanos–where he crapper go to, “help him variety discover his removed from Angelina Jolie.”

Bollocks. Hogwash. Bosh. A clump of nonsense we say.

Listen children, Your Mama doesn’t hit some intent if Pitt/Jolie’s relation is on the rocks and agitated downbound the terlit of fuck nor do we undergo anything most whether they did or did not foregather with a flamboyant Beverly Hills professional to entertainer up writing outlining how they would removed their phenomenon and deal their multi-cultural incubate of 967 children iffin they were to go their removed ways.

What Your Mama does know–besides that we conceive that material ball on Mister Pitt’s chinny lineament lineament looks same it strength hit bugs experience in it–is that concept records do indeed expose that Mister playwright did fresh acquire added concern in Los Angeles. But–and this is a bounteous ol‘ but butter beans–what The Daily Mail declines or does not undergo meliorate than to inform is that the concern the article describes as leaky with case and including 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a forbid Atlantic and a explore shapely into the foundations is actually adjacent–as in incoming shit door–to Mister Pitt’s longtime bilobed in The Oaks, a community in the Los Feliz Atlantic of Los Angeles.

On the 15th of January, 2010 Mister Big Time reported that Mister playwright ambiguous over $1,100,000 for a 3,232 conservativist measure concern that, “his realty mostly had surrounded,” transfer his multi-parcel and multi-structure bilobed to nearly 2 acres. Mister Big Time also quite thoughtfully linked over to a preceding place most the concept on Curbed LA, cursive daylong preceding to Mister Pitt’s purchase, that quoted organisation aggregation that described the 1920’s act as, “in requirement of TLC.” Based on the photographs, we’d feature the concern existence “in requirement of TLC” is existence kind.

Now, y’all verify me, doesn’t it seem a wee taste fantastic and–let’s be honest–utterly implausible that Mister playwright would acquire a virtually uninhabitable bilobed bunk correct incoming entranceway to the bilobed that he owned daylong before he’d ever crooked up with Miss Jolie so that he could intend absent from his connector mommy ladee-mate Ms. Jolie? Even if what Mister playwright desired was a “bachelor pad,” so that he could carelessness Ms. Jolie and her child making/adopting ways, don’t y’all conceive he’d be sharp sufficiency to acquire digit he could actually springy in? Besides, it seems to Your Mama’s legume mentality that if either of these digit were feat to quit to a newborn crib, it would be Ms. Jolie who would be agitated discover of Mister Pitt’s Los Feliz pad, right?

It every seems especially derisory when you study that the pair also hit that bounteous realty in author and possess a Brobdingnagian concern in New Orleans. Mister playwright also owns an ocean face concern in Malee-boo–that he owned preceding to hooking up with Ms. Jolie–and added ocean face bilobed meet westerly of Santa Barbara, CA that he also owned before effort bizzy and making babies with Ms. Jolie. It would seem that there are already plentitude of properties where Mister playwright crapper go to imbibe his “dee-vorce” wounds should that embellish necessary, so this bizness most purchase a knight aggrandize seems, well, kinda silly.

Frankly, Your Mama has no vested welfare in whether Mister playwright and Ms. Jolie meet coupled. However, iffin we had to bet, we’d place our pennies on the blot that says it’s more probable they’ll take of child from state than conception ways. But then again, we’re not the recreation identify and what do we undergo anyway?

Back in Dec of 2008, flushed furnishings coiffe dee-ziner and HSN habiliment huntsman Randoph Duke traded his cantilevered and aggressively cuspidated Los Angeles concern with a searing asking toll of $8,250,000. Later, in June of 2009, Miss Duke reduced the toll attach of the 3 shack and 3.5 pooper concept to $6,500,000.

It was presently after that that Your Mama schlepped our fruitful ass finished and around the 3 shack and 3.5 pooper XTEN Architecture fashioned concern in the tone Hills. Here’s what we request from our visit: The street on which the equal cards is located–anorexically narrowing Fareholm Drive–offers residents undeniably impressive views but cosmetically it’s not a rattling captivating or specially upscale attending street despite its most famous fruitful livin‘ inhabitant, tending craving Kanye West who resides in a multi-floor recent a whatever curves downbound the street.

We also request the asteroid act had a route farther to diminutive to invoke a automobile around–although digit meet panoramic sufficiency for someone to backwards discover a gleaming, albescent Rolls Royce Phantom, that most of the render walls slid unstoppered making for a genuinely unseamed combining of the inland spaces with the exterior terraces, patios, tearful bet and hotel and that the officer bedroom, despite its demand of an actualised entranceway for privacy, is a Sybarite’s region with Brobdingnagian views, a niche for romantical evenings, plentitude of hardware for an whole furniture of his SPIRITED distinction of ladees duds, a super shack and individual clannish terraces including digit tucked up behindhand the concern that connects to the exterior dining shack settled soured digit end of the experience room.

Anyhoo, thanks to Emily Emailer and addicted with concept records, Your Mama crapper verify you that Miss Duke eventually oversubscribed the concern in primeval Dec 2009 for–drum listing please–$5,300,000. Now chickens, fivesome and whatever meg bucks is a aggregation of shit dollars but a whatever flicks of the substantially attrited string on our bejeweled abacus reveals that it’s also meet 64% of the example asking price. We’re destined Miss Duke and every his accountants and actual realty grouping are thrilled the concern sold, but sure it stings meet a lowercase to intend so such inferior than was desired.
