Love has been renting a $27,000-a-month home in the West Village area of New York City, but the owner of the home, Donna Lyon, is not happy with how the rocker has treated her property. Love has now been asked to leave the house.

Lyon’s complaints are varied. She says her famous tenant has redecorated the four-storey house against her will, which Lyon claims has “ruined” the property, previously “made beautiful” by interior designer and former resident Steven Gambrel. It’s fair to say Lyon was not won over by Love’s choice of interior design tastes:

“Courtney has wallpapered and painted a large portion of the property without my consent. I learned about this when I wanted to sell the house and had photographs taken. They sent me the brochure and I said, ‘This can’t be my property.’ I came to New York to see it and I was horrified by what she had done. The walls that had been hand-painted and glazed were ruined, covered in damask wallpaper and ice-blue paint.”

Lyon also says Love is $50,000 behind on her rent, and almost razed the house to the ground when she accidentally set curtains on fire with a candle. “I got a call from her accountant, who said, ‘Miss Love is fine,’ which I was glad to hear, but I thought, ‘What about the house?”’ Lyon told the New York Post.

The landlady says  it will take 12 weeks and US$100,000 to restore the home to its original state. Her lawyer Norman Flitt has said Love’s alleged actions are “tantamount to destroying a work of art.”

A court date of December 21 has been set. The rock star’s representative has not commented.

“For most of my life I did deliberately lead a private life and inadvertently led a public life,”

These were the words Chelsea Clinton used to describe why she has been shying away from publicity for all these years on “Rock Center With Brian Williams”.  Sitting across a table from Mr. Williams she sat with her backed straight and her hands folded gently across her lap,  and talked about pride in her parents accomplishments and the inspiration she derived from her grandmother, Dorothy Rodham.  Dorothy Rodham died this year and always encouraged Chelsea to do more with her fame.

She chose NBC and NBC chose her.  She is using the fame her grandmother extolled her to do more with as a way to reach out to people, to make a difference and to promote the stories she finds need to be told.

She started her first broadcast with a story from her father’s home state of Arkansas, and spoke about an amazing woman, Annette Dove, who had devoted herself and all of her money to running an afterschool program for the kids of Pine Bluff.

Chelsea seemed very comfortable, and very likeable and prepared to jump into her new career with gusto.  Not only will she be able to promote the charities she cares so much about, among them AmFAR (devoted to the fight against AIDS)  and also her father’s Clinton Foundation but the real question every in asking themselves is…Where is this going?

Many people use the media as a stepping stone into a new life, most notably politics. It seems as if a third Clinton’s star is rising.

Do you think Chelsea Clinton has what it takes to make it on NBC?

If you’re in the market for a super huge home to call your very own Disney star Hilary Duff has placed her 9,277 square foot house on the open market.

The mom-to-be listed her mansion this week and according to the listing it features five-bedrooms, six-bathrooms, a wine cellar, gym, gift-wrapping room, game room and of course a swimming pool. If wine isn’t really your thing the home also features a cognac room.

The Toluca based residence has been on the market one other time when Hilary Duff offered it up for $7 million last year. Apparently the actress is now more serious about off-loading the home, offering to take $6.25 million.

9,277 square feet is quite a lot of space but I personally would like it a few more bedrooms and a few more bathrooms at that price. All kidding aside it’s a beautiful home and here’s one more picture to prove it.

MyHollywood.com is geared toward women gamers who also love entertainment news. Its “signature” MMOG game, creatively named “The Red Carpet Game,” lets you create an avatar and progress through different levels of celebrity. You navigate through a virtual Hollywood, playing mini-games, answering quizzes about current pop events, and accumulating points along the way. As you do well, you collect things like “high-status branded virtual items,” as well as mansions, VIP passes, and all the other signs of being a star. (Of course, those “branded items” double as advertising — don’t think any company is getting its name on anything for free.)

The site is still in public beta, with a full release set for early next year.

Hey, it may not be my niche, but this site knows who it’s targeting — and who knows, it just might work.
