Tommy Lee Rocks Out at the Calabasas Country Club

BUYER: Tommy Lee
LOCATION: La Masina Court, Calabasas, CA
PRICE: $6,750,000 (list price)
SIZE: 8,841, square feet, 6 bedrooms 7.5 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: This is an unusual one children because although we are unable to locate any property records that indicate the sale of this property, we have it on very, very good authority that this house is indeed the new home of impressively endowed rocker Tommy Lee. Your Mama first received a tip on this from a little lady we'll call Lisa Looselips back in mid July, but at the time we were unable to get any sort of confirmation.

Then yesterday, out of the blue, the subject of Tommy Lee came up again from another impeccable source, a gentleman who always seems to know where everyone lives. So we got on the horn to Lucy Spillerguts, our go-to gal when trying to suss out the what's what with a property. And Lucy tells us also that Mister Lee has indeed recently taken possession of this house.

Located in the suburban wilds of the Calabasas Golf and Country Club, Mister Lee's new house is a modern pile amid a sea of high end Mediterranean tract houses. All you crazed and ignorant Motley Crue fans who think it might be fun to jump in your hoopdies and head out to Calabasas and party with Mister Lee will be sorely disappointed when you run into the gate at the bottom of the hill that will ensure that you are not able to drive your messed up Mercury up to the circular drive of this house.

According to listing information, the 8,891 square foot house with 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms was remodeled in 2005 and includes a jaw dropping 3,000 square foot underground garage for 12 cars. A few other unique features of the house, which has been remodeled with a "water and sand" theme (whatever that is), includes a three story atrium with koi pond and spa, indoor gardens with a retractable roof, full gym, a professional movie theater, 2 kitchens, including one which is a catering/wine tasting kitchen complete with stone floors and oak kegs, and a piano shaped pebble-tech pool with a "party spa for 10."

Do you get the feeling this is the perfect house for a rock star too? Well, except for the suburban neighbors who just might not appreciate a party spa filled with a slew of plastic boobed bimbets trucked in from Hollywood in a big white limozeen as much as Mister Tommy Leeand his tatooed buddies might.

Or will Mister Lee be settling down to a suburban life of rented movies and dinner at Marie Calenders with Kimberly Stewart, the "what does she do all day?" daughter of legendary rocker Rod Stewart?

We have also heard that Miz Pam Anderson, the on again off again paramour of Mister Lee and mother of his children, has very recently moved from the house on Morningside Drive in Malee-boo she was renting. So perhaps, we speculate based on no real information here children so do not go repeating anything we say, the enormously endowed duo are going to give it another go in Calabasas? Stranger things have happened with these two.

As of this morning Your Mama has not been able to flush out a sale price for this houe. Perhaps our good friend Mister Big Time with his crazy ways will be able to dig up that information.

Southern Accents

There's nothing more exciting to me than going to the store and seeing a new issue of a magazine I love. And I do love Southern Accents. The new issue is not to be missed. It's the 30th Anniversary issue with loads of old photos and commentary by people such as Bunny Williams, Julia Reed, Jackye Lanham and others. There's even a book review of Bunny's not yet published new one, along with a review of Axel's not yet released book. Page after page is wonderful, eye candy every one. The featured homes don't disappoint either. First is one designed by Beverly Jacomoni, a Houston favorite. This house was featured in the very under-appreciated book by Mary Emmerling, Romantic Country (a personal favorite). Also featured is Suzanne Rheinstein's home outfitted with all new fabrics from her just released Lee Jofa fabric line. Her interview is interesting and thoughtful. A third showcased home is a Dallas mansion designed by Cathy Kincaid. I know a lot of people consider Southern Accents a "regional" magazine, and it is, to the degree in that Southern designers are featured, but these southern designs should not be missed by those in other parts of the country. If you don't read the magazine, this issue may be just the one to change your mind.

Pictures from Mary Emmerling's book, Romantic Country, that show the house featured in Southern Accents. These photos aren't included in the magazine, so I add them for your viewing pleasure. This is the outside of the gorgeous New Mexico home with interiors by Beverly Jacomini. It's a single story home, originally built for an artist. I love the landscaping with the purple perennials.

Here is a shot of the living room showing the slipcovered antique settee, window seats, French furniture and antique tapestry.

A picture of the master bedroom. In the magazine, the Bennison bedspread has been replaced. I suppose it's to present a newer version of the decor, but I much prefer this spread to the new one. I love the Fortuny drapes that divide the bedroom from the sitting room. The headboard is to die for!

Here's a peek at Suzanne Rheinstein's breakfast room. The chair is slipcovered in her toile that is the highlight of her new Lee Jofa collection. In the magazine, Suzanne describes exactly how this toile came to be in her line. It's interesting, because she admits she didn't exactly design it! I love this toile and I'm on the hunt for a client willing to use it. Takers, anyone?

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Looks like Paris "Pokey" Hilton has done bought herself a new mansion. Your Mama has been hearing whispers and rumors for quite some time now about a particular house up in the guard gated community of Mulholland Estates and all signs do indeed point towards a big yellow house on Clerendon Road.

Your Mama understands why this blond gurl and her 12 itty bitty puppies would want to live up in a guard gated community. Even the most publicity hungry in Hollywood eventually get sick and tired of having to take pictures with Danish tourists while taking out the garbage or having their dirty q-tips that were fished out of the garbage auctioned off on Ebay. Who can blame them really?

Ever since Miss Hilton was sprung from the clink and sold her N. King's Road house in West Hollywood, all the buzz has been that she's looking for a house in a gated community. And the 24 hour guard gated Mulholland Estates fits the bill. The community, technically in Sherman Oaks even though the developers were able to get the 90210 address, has been and continues to be home to many celebs including Vanna White, Brian Wilson (whose house is currently on the market), and Loni Anderson (who just sold her houses) and The Spitter Avril Lavigne (who also just sold her house). Previous residents include Tom Arnold (who bought his house from Paula Abdul and recently sold again), Xtina Aguillera, Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Anka (who recently sold to Lisa Gores), and some more who our little pea brain can't recall.

No property records Your Mama is able to access show that Pokey is indeed purchasing this house, but all our sources and tipsters are fingering this house. Fingering like crazy. Also, all the big tabloid and celebrity mags are pointing here too. We figger where there's smoke, there's often fire. Could be wrong. We've been wrong before. Could be that Pokey's own people planted the piece in US Magazine to through all us real estate gossips off her little blond trail.

Your Mama doesn't have much to say about the house, particularly since the contents of the home seen in the photos are not Pokey's, nor do they belong to a celebrity. We will say that we are more often than not non-plussed by the homes up in Mulholland Estates. They're big. They're "well appointed" with SubZeros, Vikings and ungodly numbers of terlits. They usually have nice views of the San Fernando Valley if you like that view. Otherwise they look like big fancy houses anywhere in the good ol' US of A, only much more expensive.

We do so hope and imagine that the house will have a full scale make over by Paris' huge team of nice gay decorators to rid the place of all the beige tile and black granite. We're seeing mirrored side tables, white couches and a couple of stripper poles in the room with the leopard print carpeting. Ya'll may be fooled by all the reports of Paris settling down, getting all church lady and reading the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and all that Kabbalah crap. But not Your Mama. We know this weave headed heiress still likes to shake her scantily clad money maker and work it down with the Hollywood demi monde.

Only time will tell whether this is indeed the house the Paris will call home. But when and if she does move in, we expect her neighbors will not be pleased by the circling helicopters and those bloated, poorly raised, and foul mouthed Davis brothers hanging around and peeling out in their Bentleys up and down Clerendon Road.
