Cher Relists Iconic Malibu Mansion with a $10 Million Price Cut for $75 Million — See Inside!

where she be going?

sumbuddy get the listing, pls

we need more pics before we trash it

Why doesn't she just relax and die there. She surely has enough money to run it another 10 or so years.

Overcapitalised white elephant that she's tried to offload repeatedly.

13,000 s.f. on 2 acres raises the eyebrow, but I need more pics

For 75 million, I would want 10 -20 acres bare minimum

[quote]My house is so special because it's my sanctuary, my fortress, really—the only place I have any privacy

Why are you selling it?

Taxes, Rose.

She's probably moving to The Villages in Florida.

Does her sougther get a cut of the money?

She MUST be shrooming.

Someone will buy it. Cher's places always sell.

This one hasn't sold any of the multiple times it's been placed on the market, because she's hugely overcapitalised by building an enormous house in a very idiosyncratic style, on a piece of land that's just not big or special enough. Her best hope would be to sell to the royal family of Morocco.

Not true. Cher's choices of finishes and style is impeccable. I haven't been to this house, but I was at the Egyptian place she sold to Eddie Murphy many times. It was breathtaking.

Even if she settles for $50 or $60, she will make a huge profit. Everyone said the same thing about Rob Lowe's place in Montecito.

And it's updated, not like she hasn't remodeled since she built it in 2002.

Where there any trans hookers there?

Other than this house, Cher has been a serial flipper her entire life. Sierra Towers, Hawaii, Palm Springs were the most recent. With the exception of the Sierra Towers, she never lived in the other 2.

She always makes money on real estate.

Where does she keep my Oscar?

R13, name one house where Cher hasn't made a profit.

You won't be able to.

I’d buy it if I win the lottery

R19 It's cute you attach so much importance to Cher's past real estate sales. That's great she's done well. Doesn't change the fact that this house has been up for sale multiple times with no takers and is now being hugely discounted.

The very rich just can't help themselves, can they? They know that they'll take a financial bath by building bespoke estates that will only appeal to a tiny minority, and that the odds of finding another human being who 1) shares their taste, and 2) has the means to pay tens of millions yet for some reason prefers to buy somebody else's dream home, are spectacularly against them.

Yet they keep doing it.

I love Cher, but this house is butt-ugly and looks like it sits between a gas station and a strip mall right on PCH. Of all the beautiful settings in Malibu she picked the worst

The real estate spiels and photos always cut out the surrounding context. Dead giveaway that there are problems.

"born Cherilyn Sarkisian"

Why was that necessary? She's been 'Cher' for 60 years.

Maybe the house started getting on her nerves?

It costs an absolute bomb to maintain and run and she's also bored with it.

Maybe the first Mrs Geffen doesn’t approve of the 2nd Mrs Geffen, who would be the new 1st Lady of Malibu?

It's interesting that Geffen and Cher are dating very similarly in their dotage.

[quote] My house is so special because it's my sanctuary, my fortress, really—the only place I have any privacy

So you're selling it why? These nitwit celebrities always amaze in their silliness.

Chastity Bono to David Geffen, "My dad's dick is bigger than yours"

BURN! 😂

What happened to Chaz?

Where's Ellen (I move every six months) when you need her?

On my way, r33!

The land is actually more valuable without the house. She would probably get $50-60 million right away if he offered to demolish the house for the new owner.

I was looking at a luxury real estate site the other day and the most expensive listings were empty plots of land in BH and Bel Air. When you’re that rich, you want your own bespoke house. Which eventually turns into your own white elephant.

@r32, "What happened to Chaz? "

She saw David Geffen's tiny dick 😳

Cher gets bored with houses like she gets bored with friends.

[quote]She saw David Geffen's tiny dick 😳

So, that'ts where she got the idea?

That's*

Pics

@r38, "So, that'ts where she got the idea? "

Yep, Chastity Bono is now a wealthy Gay man with a tiny dick, just like David Geffen 😜

The sheer vulgarity and incoherence of combining all those Buddhas with Islamic architecture is so breathtaking she should get an award.

R23

It’s kind of like my parallel parking OCD: often, I will look for a parallel space and see an oddly-sized gap between two cars, fall into my typically judgmental self and bitch that they parked that way then I remind myself that perhaps another car was just there and the gaps are just an artifact of the previous car and not everyone is a complete dick.

Anyway, she bought the property in 1989 - perhaps the shitty shopping center and gas station came after?

@r42, Her decorator talked her out of adding the Crucifix collage wall 🙄

Love Chair!

I wish Karen would buy it for me.

ATROCIOUS!!

All those arched doorways, for practically every room?! It’d quickly feel as if you’re living in a tacky Arab themed vegas resort.

It will have to be torn down

This is the part I can't get past, $75 million to sit on that ugly, noisy highway 😬

It will absolutely, 100 per cent be torn down unless it is actively marketed to very new, very vulgar money in the Middle East or Central Asia.

It is tacky and pretentious therefore it truly reflects the owner.

^ Nah, Cher's a good person with no taste

I bet the air in that house is heavy with patchouli and regret.

Did someone say patchouli?

[quote]I love Cher, but this house is butt-ugly and looks like it sits between a gas station and a strip mall right on PCH. Of all the beautiful settings in Malibu she picked the worst.

I agree, the house is totally out of place for California with its faux Gothic Venetian style architecture. So tacky! And the location right on a busy highway feels so unlike an actual home.

The house right next to hers sits on a plot 6 times bigger than Cher's faux Venetian atrocity. Anybody know the owner?

Well the palm trees are beautiful and majestic. Not cheap crap.

If she lived it so much why is she selling it? Clearly she does not need the money.

^ At her age she's beginning to forget which room she left her hair in. Time for something smaller

The article is over 20 years old. Can't you read?

[quote] The land is actually more valuable without the house.

...until it falls into the ocean, which will be soon.

The house is far away from the highway you can't hear and stop all this shit. All you queens would give your left nut to live there.

All the celebrity beach houses are right on the highway

There are houses below- it's not falling into the ocean.

Actually, Cher's house is set back further than most. You'd only hear noise on the tennis court.

Sad last days

R61, they are happy in their double -wides.

R14, that was the sense I got reading the articles about it. Even if she sells it for a fraction of the $75 million, she'll make a good profit. DL had a thread recently on LA area mega-mansions and the accompanying video showed how they were selling less often and at much lower prices.

Those complaining about the proximity to PCH, the whole orientation is toward the ocean. The landscaping and walls take care of any noise and odor. The exception would be the tennis court. Before I bought it, I would have someone play tennis on that court a few times during rush hours. That would be where the noise and pollution would be a problem if there was one.

Bullshit! I've lived close to highways on and off my whole life, you hear every car, truck, horn, brake squeal and crash

"I heard that, Jenner"

Does the house come with Cher?

@r62, "All the celebrity beach houses are right on the highway "

Those suck too, but they're not $75 million

She doesn't even have direct access to the beach. The house sits between an ugly, noisy highway and a row of houses on the beach.

Cher doesn't do beach.

[quote] My house is so special because it's my sanctuary, my fortress, really—the only place I have any privacy

Maybe Haz and I should buy it then. We are so desperate to get out of the private eye. We want privacy!

[quote]This is the part I can't get past, $75 million to sit on that ugly, noisy highway 😬

Can you really hear the noise from the highway that far away?

Yes you do hear noise from the highway, the cars are driving fast, so it's loud and when it's quiet you will hear them. The house is just 20 to 30 meters set back from the highway and it's a busy highway. My parents lived in a house on the outskirts of the little village I was born and the council decided to build a highway connecting all the villages in the area. The highway was about half a mile away from the house but at night, with the windows open you would hear every car.

The only attraction I see with the house is the ocean view, but is obstructed by other houses.

With this kind of money you probably could get something nicer.

The view isn't obstructed you dimwit.

You obviously know nothing about Malibu. No one cares about your shithole village.

You can always buy Candy Spellings house, which was 2 houses combined and literally on the street.

She took it off the market, but I'm sure she could be persuaded.

If you look at aerial shots, that house has a 180 degree view. One side is vacant land.

Seriously who thinks Cher spends any time at all outside in the yard, looking at the sea, playing tennis or swimming in the pool? She doesn't even have a real garden it's just lawn and palm trees. She has zero interest in the outdoors and just lives inside hiding from the sun.

A monstrosity

Her house sits on a bluff, but there are 2 plots right underneath her and there is another row of houses in front of that, right on the beach. She is closer the the highway than she is to the beach. Looking out of her faux Venetian windows she probably can see the roofs of the beach houses. Yeah, for this kind of money this is a shit location.

Lol, you must be blind

I would take Candy Spelling's home in a heartbeat. So comfortable and right on the beach. And, if she'll sell, a fraction of the price .

Candy's is 2 hideous houses combined, and is a gut reno.

Wait...what...Cher is only 76?!

Green is beautiful in nature, in flowers, trees, and plants, not indoors, other than some houseplants. The bedroom rug in Candy's bedroom is hideous.

The joined house looks like an autobody garage from the front.

One thing most people don't realize, is that when you live right on the beach you have a great view during the day, but at night it's most likely pitch black And there's always a chance of storms flooding your house.

I'm up on a high hill a mile and a half from the beach, so I have an ocean view during the day and lights at night. It's great on July 4th too- I can see firework shows all down the coast.

Cher looking like she has spent too much money at her plastic surgeons office ,Ewww

If Cher is so happy there, why is she selling?

The houses closer to Point Dume are in a good location, far enough away from a noisy highway but with their own access to a beach.

And to think when she sells this “Believe” will be 25 years old.

R90 because the article is 20 years old. She's been there a long time. Her mom lived down the street, so why not move now that she's dead.

Candy's interior decorating is appalling. How could even an unintelligent old person think that looks good?

Candy has always had taste for shit. She actually bought an original Dogs Playing Poker painting, and has the only Warhol portrait I hate.

She's still trying to sell it.

Yes, not much has changed since yesterday.

I wonder if people like Barbra Streisand actually go to the beach every now and then beneath the cliffs of Point Dume and mingle with the normal people. It's not a private beach there it seems.

It amazes me that wealthy people in California want to live directly on publicly accessible beach. Not just because of the stalker risk but also with all the homeless, drug addicted and mentally ill vagrants who are literally everywhere in SoCal and pitch tents on the beach and public land. Imagine if a treasure like Candy Spelling caught drug resistant TB from a street person.

People aren't pitching tents in that area, trust me.

Just out of curiosity, what is stopping them?

Rich people probably have 24/7 private security on their properties.

Geffen had a fake garage built to prevent people from even parking. Billionaires have their ways.

I don’t know much about Malibu or real estate but from everything I know she will never sell this thing close to $75m. She is not being realistic. She will be luck to get 35 or 40.

R99 Say it ain’t so. She can renovate the gift wrapper in groom into an infirmary.

Gift wrapping room*

The thing is, the beaches are officially "public accessible", but sometimes they are only accessible by boat! I'm speaking to Laguna Beach here, but there are no stairs or access from the street, so no way to get down to many of them.

Bette's house was above one of those beaches. No one is spending millions to put up with homeless.

Exception being Venice, and I wouldn't live there for free.

I'll bet she gets $50, which is still a $30 million profit.

[quote] You'd only hear noise on the tennis court.

And only if Sharapova plays!

Cher was snapped surfing, so yes she does go to the beach. Maybe she drives to another beach around Malibu to do that, but then what's the point of this house which doesn't have access to the beach.

Of course Cher makes money off her properties. Her real estate is bound to appreciate during her century of living.

That pic was Hawaii. As I posted previously, beachfront usually means no nighttime view.

R111, Madonna.

Movie killer and cunt.

I have a a 2004 Malibu, with a low 91,000 miles, runs well and is in decent condition for it's age, and priced far less that what Cher is asking.

Whoever buys it is going to demolish it let’s be real. She should take 40m if she gets the offer.

I’m sure her agent told her to forget the 75m.

"If she lived it so much why is she selling it? Clearly she does not need the money."

Cher is almost 80 years old; it's time to get her affairs in order.

It's either sell that white elephant now or leave it for her daughter (son or whatever) to deal with after Cher dies.

Selling now would allow Cher to reduce size of her estate (along with death taxes), this includes doing something with the substantial gain made from selling a long held asset.

R107: Venice is a horror show. Venice residents John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten) and Paul Hogan both carry on in the press about how they are now living in The Walking Dead. Won't do great things for resale. It really is a shit show there, I hate it.

[quote]Bullshit! I've lived close to highways on and off my whole life, you hear every car, truck, horn, brake squeal and crash

Oh horse shit. Millions of people have been living next to highways, train tracks and airplanes since the modern age began. The noise becomes part of your life and people end up never even hearing it anymore.

Cher has been photographed surfing in Hawaii, but likely she does so elsewhere as well.

With bff Kathy Griffin

Cher is very down for earth and a woman of the people as seen by her gaudy old lady mansion

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Cher clearly cares about climate change, almost as much as Barbra.

It’s very Norma Desmond.

@r119, Bullshit to your bullshit! You live near a hwy. because you can't afford anything better. Like living next to an airport you never get used to it, but you learn to accept it. If I'm paying $75 fucking million I don't want to hear you and your boom-boom base on your 20 year old ricer 😠

How much money does it take NOT to put up with noise?

Does Cher come with the house? Will she sing me to sleep?

We've already done that joke.

Does she know where she’s going to? Chasing the fantasies that filled her mind

She'll buy something equally as big, or close to it. I posted earlier about her Egyptian place, but Cher is used to multiple housekeepers, a personal chef and other staff.

Is Kathy on staff as court jester?

I'd live there, just to smell Cher!

[quote]Geffen had a fake garage built to prevent people from even parking. Billionaires have their ways.

A picture of his face would suffice.

[quote] The very rich just can't help themselves, can they? They know that they'll take a financial bath by building bespoke estates

Agree with you about these ultra-customized houses being a mistake. At least Cher lived in hers for a couple of decades. The real dumb move is to think you can build a "bespoke estate" to your specific tastes, then sell in a year or two - AND factor in the cost of all your custom stuff into the asking price.

From the inside pictures provided by the DM, one could expect a genie to pop in at any moment and feel right at home.

The ocean water in Hawaii is a lot warmer than the water in Malibu. Even if you go down south to Baja California (Mexico), the water is still cold.

Cher.

Why does Cher hate Madonna?

^ Because Madonna was a cunt to her

She said Madonna wasn't a nice person, and mean for no reason. Cher was at her wedding to Sean Penn, at his invitation.

[quote]Why does Cher hate Madonna?

Because Madonna got the Evita movie. Cher wanted that movie.

It’s been 30 years. Can’t these two kids and make up.

The truth is that Madonna was to Cher what Britney was to Madonna. Cher expected Madonna to be respectful and reverent, rightfully so but that’s not our Madge now is it.

True that!

Isn't Cher's house in a less desirable area of Malibu? Streisand's estate is in a far more desirable area with more privacy.

Seems like it would be more desirable to be able to walk from your deck steps to the beach, but what do I know. Kathy Griffin has been to Cher's house and was impressed, but Kathy may have just been kissing ass.

Courtney Love said that Pam Anderson lives in the "trailer park" area of Malibu.

^ Those trailers at Point Dume sell for up to $5 million. Not your typical trailer park

Cher had NO interest in Evita. She is an Oscar winner, unlike Vadge

Kathy Griffin's own taste in homes, as seen in her reality show, is rock bottom. Really tacky, and shopping mall soulless.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Kathy's house, featured in her reality show. It was kind of awful. Not cluttered, but I could've picked so many other nicer places than that. I would have preferred a unit in a high rise to that house.

Cher may or may not have wanted film role of "Evita", but her name was on that list.

Or....

Unlike Madonna Cher at least had a very extensive C.V. film role wise including some well received to great performances.

Vocal wise Cher would not have been a great choice (that vibrato would have to go or at least be controlled), as for acting part of Eva Peron it would have been interesting to see Cher's interpretation.

Looks wise Cher would have looked lovely with blonde hair. Process of getting her there however likely would have left her with fried and crispy hair for long time afterwards.

I love Cher's pool and loggia. I could live with a little road noise if there was an unobstructed view of the pacific. The house is overpriced and a little cheesy but otherwise very nice. Do we think Cher and Kathy Griffin are still friends? I've always gotten the impression Kathy used her for stories but only hung out with her a few times.

I like Candy's heavy wood panelling. I could change up the furniture and be very happy. It has a cozy and unpretentious vintage vibe.

Cher was the only name for the Evita movie that made sense.

Barbra Streisand had too much angst and self-control to let loose on a number like Buenos Aires.

Liza Minnelli didn’t have the ruthless killer instinct.

Bernadette Peters didn’t have the earthy quality of an actress from the bars, from the sidewalks, from the gutter theatrical.

Meryl Streep didn’t have Donna Murphy.

but Cher’s dick wasn’t big enough

Giving credit where do Madonna did manage to pull it off somewhat as Evita. She also had the figure and looks to pull off the Dior "New Look" fashions costumes were based upon.

That being said for my money there is still only one Evita.

Say what you want about Patti, but then, since and still Ms. LuPone nailed it.

[quote]Giving credit where do Madonna did manage to pull it off somewhat as Evita.

If only she could act!

Oh now you're asking too much.

If they wanted someone who could "act" Madonna never would have been in running. As with Lucille Ball and "Mame" suits wanted a name that would be a strong box office draw.

Cher likely could have done much better acting wise over Madonna. Again however vocally and looks wise may have been another story. Cher's body is all wrong for the Dior "New Look" costumes; she's too tall and angular. Madonna also had then still an earthy quality, you can imagine her as someone who worked herself up from the streets. Oh wait, isn't that her life story?

[quote]Giving credit where do Madonna did manage to pull it off somewhat as Evita. She also had the figure and looks to pull off the Dior "New Look" fashions costumes were based upon.

The Dior New Look was imagined for pregnant ladies?

[quote] Giving credit where do

It's giving credit where "due."

The house does not have unobstructed ocean views. there are two rows of properties and a street that's separating Cher's faux Venetian monstrosity from the beach to which she also does not have any direct access.

Shut the hell up.

It doesn't blend well with its environment.

"Cher was the only name for the Evita movie that made sense."

If that Evita film were a drama yes, but as a musical am sorry Cher's voice was just all wrong.

Madonna singing voice does have its detractions, but a pronounced and seemingly uncontrollable vibrato isn't one of them.

In days past studios could get away with dubbing even a major film star; Cher never would never allow that to happen.

Madonna waged an all out full frontal assault campaign to win role of "Evita". Once obtained after being sat down a few times she discarded some of her more unflattering behaviors and went to work. This included working with a vocal coach to bring her singing up to standard.

Finally again as stated previously Madonna resembled Evita far more than Cher.

Maybe it was fact Madonna was pregnant, but her face had a bit of chubbiness that was far more favorable than Cher's more angular features.

[quote] "Seriously who thinks Cher spends any time at all outside in the yard, looking at the sea, playing tennis or swimming in the pool?"

Back when Georgia was alive and well, they used to use the pool fairly frequently. One time, Cher tweeted about her mother skinnydipping in it. At 80+ years old. I love it. But now? Probably not.

[quote]This included working with a vocal coach to bring her singing up to standard.

And having Andrew Lloyd-Webber discard all the hard to sing notes.

ALW wanted Barbra to debut the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" but she declined. She told him that she didn't want to sing a song glorifying a fascist. She would have sung the definitive version, as she did with Memory. LuPone's Argentina version is too staccato and she has no vocal warmth to speak of. LuPone is very lucky that Barbra turned it down.

[quote]LuPone is very lucky that Barbra turned it down.

No so lucky with Sunset Boulevard. LuPone was pissed when Streisand's versions were playing as hold music at the SB box office.

Cher uses the pool for exercise. Her bestie Paulette posted on Instagram many times.

[quote]Cher uses the pool for exercise.

Did she used to have swimming races with Chastity/Chaz?

"The Dior New Look was imagined for pregnant ladies?"

Don't know how Penny Rose pulled it off; either Madonna didn't show much during filming or what, but of about 85 costumes you'd be hard pressed to tell Madonna was knocked up.

Was Patti LuPone in the running to play Evita in the film version of "Evita?"

Cher found out she was pregnant after ahooting began on Evita.

^^I mean Madge

Maybe she wants to buy Chastity a new dick for her birthday

If you built this exact house today in, say North Dakota, how much would it cost?

[Quote]Cher doesn't do beach.

but maybe potential buyers do and that would be a drawback.

What did happen to Chaz? He's dropped off the map. Vaginal atrophy?

[Quote]Why doesn't she just relax and die there. She surely has enough money to run it another 10 or so years.

because her boy toy is bleeding her dry

@r179, "If you built this exact house today in, say North Dakota, how much would it cost? "

The nicest house in ND will run you just under a million bucks... No extra charge for snow 10 months a year

R175

See link at R151.

Yes, Patte LuPone was considered for film of Evita following long held pattern of those who star in a stage production given first crack (or at least consideration) when musical or whatever moves to film.

DL fave Andy Cohen interviewed Pattie LuPone about film Evita, to say "Patti" wasn't a fan is putting it mildly.

Patti has been rather outspoken about her feelings for the show that made her a star (Evita) and ALW as well.

Apparently Ms. Lupone was offered role of Evita Peron's mother in film, she turned it down.

Giving equal time to her bile spewing, Patti LuPone didn't have much nice things to day about film adaption of Les Misérables (LuPone was the original Fantine) either.

I can't tell the difference between this video and the raging and horrific screams of wild animals in the woods behind my house, after being dragged off and killed by coyotes.

A real piece of shit.

Cher has enough money for 100 boy toys.

R179, the same minus the land value. Building with luxury imported materials doesn't save you any money in North Dakota.

Patti is such a snearing bitch I don’t she has ever said anything nice to say at all. She’s not adored for her niceness.

Ok Miss Girls, in case some of you have forgotten Roddy McDowall had a house on Malibu sandwiched between same stretch of highway and beach as Cher. No one had any problems going down there for parties or whatever, nor did Roddy have issues living "just off a highway" either. And he wasn't alone in that neck of woods.

[quote] "No so lucky with Sunset Boulevard. LuPone was pissed when Streisand's versions were playing as hold music at the SB box office."

Okay. While I believe this to be bad practice, I think it's fucking hilarious.

Why does Cher hate Madonna?

Cher doesn't hate Madonna. She just called her out for being a spoiled, stuck up cunt. Which she is, and always has been. But for years now, Cher has said that she and Madge (she calls her that...which I love) "are good". Of course, she still doesn't back down when asked about her.

The clip at the link is years old, but it's still just as accurate.

Kookiness, and all...Team Cher. Forever.

Do people even put tennis courts on their properties anymore?

No they don't.

Actually, yes they do. Especially in CA where you can normally count in months of good weather.

Only a crass fruitcake would install a court.

R197 Or a famous celebrity or public figure who can't or won't go to a public tennis court because they'll be bothered and won't have much privacy.

Where did Cher live when she dated Ryan O'Neal? Must have been a different house.

[quote] Was Patti LuPone in the running to play Evita in the film version of "Evita?"

Patti was never seriously considered. Nobody outside of Broadway knew who she was. Plus as movie production dragged on, several of the actresses being considered aged out of the role. Evita was still quite young when she died.

R14- I wonder how many COCKS Rob Lowe sucked in that place.

In 1996 I liked Madonna however I walked out of Evita. It was preposterous and Madonna as usual was a leaden and fake actress.

Madonna got part of Evita on top of waging all all out war to fight for part, also wrote a long passionate letter to Alan Parker to convince him she was perfect for the role. Included with said letter was a video of her "Take A Bow" which Madonna had specifically requested director make it very much a 1940's to 1950's vibe.

[quote]Cher's faux Venetian monstrosity from the beach to which she also does not have any direct access.

It's Cher we're talking about here, she can just teleport herself to the beach.

Rest of how things played out is here.

"Although his preferred leading lady was Michelle Pfeiffer, Parker was struck by an impassioned, four-page letter that Madonna wrote to him over the 1994 Christmas holiday, along with a copy of her Latin-themed ‘Take A Bow’ video. Pfeiffer became pregnant, and did not want to shoot Evita on location. Madonna was back in the ring, but her chequered acting career made her a risky proposition. Lloyd-Webber was concerned that her immense fame would overwhelm the picture, and unconvinced by her vocal range. Sir Tim Rice, however, favoured the singer to play the part over a more conventional actress. After accepting a flat $1 million fee – and forgoing a percentage of the film’s profits – Madonna signed on for Evita in 1995."

and:

"By 1988, Oliver Stone was writing a screenplay for Evita, which he planned to direct. Stone invited Madonna to discuss it with himself, theatrical producer Robert Stigwood, and Andrew Lloyd-Webber at the composer’s Trump Tower apartment. Describing all three men as “fabulous misogynists,” Madonna decided she could not work with Stone in particular. Lloyd-Webber thought her rude, and when Stone insulted her in the press, Madonna moved on. Meryl Streep became the favoured choice, and spent a year preparing for the role until Stone shelved the project."

From R191

[quote] Ok Miss Girls, in case some of you have forgotten Roddy McDowall had a house on Malibu sandwiched between same stretch of highway and beach as Cher.

It's clear from the Roddy McDowall home movies that his house was right on the beach. You can see guests are right at the beach, sitting on the wall surrounding his patio, just above the beach.

From what's been described in this thread, it appears that Cher's house does not have beach access, while RM's house certainly did.

R191 that was 1965 dear. Things have changed since then

Maybe she's getting ready for a nursing home. She's close to 90.

[bold]QUEENS![/bold]

Spiraling off into multiple tiny Rumplestiltskin-esque whirlwinds of fury over Patti/Madonna/Evita/etc., in a thread about Cher's house.

Such bitchy queens queenishly bitching.

[quote] Spiraling off into multiple tiny Rumplestiltskin-esque whirlwinds of fury over Patti/Madonna/Evita/etc., in a thread about Cher's house.

We need to do something to bump the post to the top. It’s not a “tasteful friends” post where we can bitch about her 1970s decor.

R207, Cher has at least 20 years left if she makes it to her Mom 's age. I think the grandma lived even longer

She installed the court the year after Her & Chaz lost the mixed doubles championship to Barbra & Jason at the prestigious Malibu Cup Tournament

So, Cher was just bluffing about having waterfront property?

The Pacific Ocean is freezing cold, better to look at it from a hilltop house then to try and swim in it

If I were to buy it I'd change the decor from gothic middle eastern to gothic victorian and replace the Taurus motif with my own zodiac sign.

Living that close to the water does your furniture get all mold and mildewy?

No, it doesn't get moldy.

@r214, "Taurus motif "

Ford decorates now? I'll take the Mustang motif

For the person who asked:

tasteful: because SOMETIMES, we're tasteful.

Friends: Eh , if you're lucky.

I don't care if I lose millions.

The huge "fuck you" the eventual sale will send to my spoiled, lazy, untalented, ungrateful kids is worth every penny!

Cher bought both her kids houses, and Elijah multiple houses, none if which he lived in for very kong Elijah was living with her last I heard. He prefers live-in help and a chef.

Has Elijah ever held a job?

would you?

the nephew of one of her assistants was busted for dealing heroin/fentanyl out of the house in 2018. If your house is too big for you to know who's there at any given time or what they're doing, time to downsize!

In Hollywood years it is

I am obsessed with her mid-90s goth catalogue Sanctuary. I have only seen a few grainy online images and I would love to see hi-res versions.

It’s the preferred interior design aesthetic of teenage me.

OMG she looks like she walked out of Madame Tussaud's @ R224

Looks like some MacMansion in Coral Gables, FL.

For no particular reason, compare it to the beachfront home Bette Davis owned in Laguna Beach.

@R229

Gorgeous and classy. Bette D had class.

And I luvs me sum Cher.

She should bite the bullet and advertise directly to royals in Saudi Arabia, where some gay prince would leap at the chance to have some Cher.

How is Cher's gelato business doing?

She should rework her old disco hit “Take Me Home” and advertise on TV with the jingle “Take My Home”. Or entice with alternative uses for the property, subletting it into apartments with “Living in My House Subdivided”.

I thought she bought a place in the same building as Candy Spelling is living at now.

I remember reading Chaz’s book and be talked about how money was tight in the early 80s in their family and all I could think was “bitch your mom was getting $350k a WEEK playing Vegas”

does it come with Blue?
