There comes a time in every young pop star's life when, in order to be taken seriously, she must learn to date people who don't terminate relationships through text-messages. She must accept her fate as a purveyor of mediocrity and be content with her millions, while thanking the media overlords for not sullying her good name. For Simon Cowell side-project Leona Lewis, that time is now. And it's marked by that dubious rite of passage that most of us twenty-nothings will probably never experience: property ownership!
It's true! Leona's a big girl now. She's eyeing a converted barn in the British countryside, priced at £1 million. It's the perfect retreat to from the brutal pressures beleaguering anyone of such elite celebrity. Or from her very songs, the same ones Radio 1 insist on playing hourly. Like all respectable rich people, Lewis also owns property in London, with her boyfriend. And yes, SiCo does have the spare key. [Digital Spy]
For about roughly that same amount, but in London proper, Sienna Miller has put her 2-bedroom/3 bath up for sale. Not only is it near all restaurants and Madonna-accessible (at least when she tears through the Isles), but the house also comes fully equipped with its own Turkish bath and sauna. Sadly, the best case scenario, Miller even stands to lose about £200,000. [The Real Estalker]
But because the world is unfair -- yes, even to born-agains -- Stephen Baldwin's upstate New York abode is facing foreclosure. Which doesn't exactly smack of total surprise because he is competing on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here. The sprawling brick-and-mortar eyesore was supposed to be auctioned off in exactly a week. Even though a late-in-the-game rep insists otherwise, additionally whispering about a sprinkling of litigious fairydust that Baldwin's throwing on this messy matter to make it go away. Which is unfortunate news for anyone who really took a liking to the home's decor. [People]
