Mark Wahlberg originally listed this house back in 2008 for $15.9 million but has now relisted this gorgeous house for $13.95 million.
The house is to die for with a 2 story 2,500 square foot gym that includes a boxing ring that he trained for The Fighter in. The gourmet kitchen has all of the amenities any cook would want. There's a home theatre that will appeal to those men in your life who LOVE their TVs.
The house sits on 2 acres with the main house being 33,000 square feet! There are 5 bedroom suites and 8 full baths in this gorgeous home.
When it's time to play you've got a basketball court, tennis court, putting green and of course a beautiful pool that includes a waterfall and grotto.
In addition to being a producer, singer, actor, mogul he is a smart business man: he purchased the home in 2001 for a mere $4.95 million!
Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars premiered last night (Monday September 19, 2011) with a lot of hype surrounding Chaz Bono being on the show and of course they left his performance to the end to make sure we all stuck around.
I wasn't able to make notes as the show went on so I'm going by memory (sorry for such a train wreck of a review but next week will be better) but what stands out is Chynna Phillips being gracious and gorgeous and Kristin Cavallari as well. And Kristin has those killer gams! For Chynna to do her solo for the first dance of the season is spectacular. She is one to watch.
Sorry but Elisabetta Canalis can't dance to save her life. Poor girl. Now we know why George Clooney dumped her. Ha! Just kidding. Nancy Grace did better on TMZ Live than she did on the dance floor but you know it's easy for us to criticize. I can't imagine what it feels like to be on that stage and know that MILLIONS are watching you. I would need a Depends diaper change midway through my routine. That must be uber-nervewracking.
J.R. Martinez (actor and Iraq vet) was sensational. What a positive attitude and beautiful spirit that man has! Methinks he is going far, and perhaps all the way to the mirrored disco ball. He and Karina Smirnoff have great chemistry and are a great partnership.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy seems very happy to have Hope Solo as his partner. There's a lot of smiling and chemistry between these two. Makes me wonder if it's off-stage as well. She's very athletic which doesn't always translate to graceful but this woman is determined! She will get there, no doubt.
Ricki Lake is delighted to be paired up with Derek Hough and we are delighted Derek Hough is BACK! Love his crazy antics on the camera. He's a tough and amazing teacher so she's in great hands. I like Ricki Lake a lot and I really hope she sticks around. She looked gorgeous in her dress last night and I think she did a great job.
I thought David Arquette did great. It's nice to see him sober and 'present' as he said and even nicer that his estranged wife Courtney Cox came to the show to support him with their daughter. The way David talked about his daughter was so touching. I think he has what it takes to win and he's in fabulous hands with Kym Johnson as his partner.
Ron Artest is paired with newcomer Peta Murgatroyd and he is the wild one this season I think. The man is huge and Peta is tiny so it's quite the combination. He brought his Dennis Rodman swagger to the dance floor but I think he needs to take it a bit more seriously. What do you think? Does he have what it takes?
I loved Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer together! He did really great on the dance floor and I really hope he goes the distance and stays around for a while. He found it difficult with his age and weight but hopefully over time it will get easier. The judges were all very impressed with his dance skills.
Robert Kardashian is teamed up with esteemed dancer Cheryl Burke and she demands the best from her students. I think these two may have a bit of a challenge adjusting to one another's very different styles, but Robert needs to listen to this lady and trust her! It must be difficult for him to live in the shadows of his famous sisters. Did you notice when the camera panned to the Kardashians sitting there, Kim moved her hand so we would see her ring (I can't remember at what point it was)? Don't get me wrong, it's GORGEOUS, but this show is about her brother not her. Uggh.
And last but certainly not least (I saved my favorite for last) is Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya. This guy is a RIOT. I was laughing watching him in rehearsal but when I saw him strut around the stage a la Mick Jagger I was floored. He did a perfect Mick Jagger imitation. What a great personality and presence. I BEG to the Dancing With The Stars Gods in the sky that Carson stick around right until the end. I can't imagine the show without him.
So what are your thoughts on Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars? In ways the beginning was boring, but hopefully it will get better. Who do you think is going home tonight? I think it's either Elisabetta Canalis or Nancy Grace.

Lars von Trier's end of the world drama, Melancholia, has been whispered and buzzed about long before the director's controversial remarks at the Cannes Film Festival, but even getting himself kicked off the Croissette couldn't overshadow his leading lady's performance. Kirsten Dunst won the award for Best Actress for this film and it has been eagerly awaited ever since.
I've been a fan of Dunst since 1994's Interview with a Vampire and it is high time she had something to showcase her considerable talents again. (I don't care about her personal life. For someone who grew up in front of the cameras, she's doing pretty well.) In Melancholia, she has it. It's the story of two sisters (Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg) with an already strained relationship who find it further challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide into the Earth.
The hand-held camera work may be off putting to some, but I think it makes the whole thing feel more immediate as if we're watching the events unfold and taking home movies. von Trier has assembled a scary good cast. Besides Dunst and Gainsbourg, it includes Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgard, Stellan Skarsgard, Jesper Christiansen and Udo Kier. The film played TIFF last week and opens in the UK on 30 September, October 7 in the US on VOD and November 11 in theaters (huh?)

Here's the first trailer, UK edition, for Andrea Arnold's new cinematic retelling of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival a few weeks ago to great acclaim. It then played TIFF to a resounding, "eh". So who knows what we can expect. I do know that Andrea Arnold is a woman that takes chances. She makes small, very intimate little British films like Red Road and Fish Tank. The latter earned a lot of critical acclaim for one Michael Fassbender, as a man who not only has a secret, but sleeps with his lover's 15 year old daughter. That we can watch that unfold without revulsion and even admire the film is huge a tribute to both actor and director.
The Bronte sisters are having a good year. First came Cary Fukunaga's lushly romantic Jane Eyre (with the aforementioned Fassbender), and now we have this version of Wuthering Heights. There have been so many versions, the most famous of which starred Laurence Olivier/Merle Oberon, Timothy Dalton/Anna Calder-Marshall and even as late as 2008, Tom Hardy/Charlotte Riley (his now fiancee). For those who don't know the story, Heathcliffe is a poor young English boy, played by newcomer James Howson, who is taken in by the wealthy Earnshaw family where he develops an intense relationship with his young foster sister, Cathy, played by "Skins" actress Kaya Scodalerio, with tragic consequences.This is a new take on the classic that seems both understated and yet something we haven't seen before.
Wuthering Heights will next play the BFI London Film Festival on 7 October before it opens in the UK on 11 November. No US release date is currently available. I hope that changes.

Now before you get all hot and bothered, this wedding video of George Clooney is for a commercial. You should all know better than to think otherwise.
However this model, is one lucky biatch. First of all can you imagine waking up in a beautiful hotel suite like that with a boulder on your finger and to turn around and find out you are married to George Clooney? And then these are the first words out of his mouth:
"Well hey there, I was letting you sleep," "I like your dress. It looks better off than on."
*THUD* The commercial is for Norwegian bank DNB NOR. I say very well done! How ironic that the 'I will never marry' George Clooney does a commercial like this. Priceless. And the total disbelief on the actress' face is equally priceless.

Charlie Sheen getting fired from Two and A Half Men is kind of like what winning the lottery would feel like to you and I. In his settlement, Charlie Sheen is getting $25 Million from Warner Bros within a couple of weeks (can you freaking imagine knowing that much money is coming to you?) and will get more over time.
And by more I mean $100 million. That's over a 5-7 year span, mind you, but that's STILL $14-20 Million PER FREAKING YEAR. And that's all because he filmed 180 episodes in his final year and that $100 million represents syndication profits. Please shoot me.
You know, Charlie was smart enough to have that negotiated into his contract and he did the work so power to him. The downside is that he may find it difficult to work in Hollywood, but with that kind of money he can buy his own projects.
