After receiving a covert communique from Billy Baldwin (not the actor Billy Baldwin, but another Billy Baldwin) that Shaquille O'Neal had finally sold his shaq on Miami's Star Island, Your Mama spent a little time digging around on the interweb to sort out the haps with dirty looking rock star Lenny Kravitz's recently rehabbed residence on Miami's guard gated Biscayne Point which had been listed for sale in late March of 2009 with an asking price of $2,850,000.Well butter beans, believe it or not, without a single price reduction the 5,717 square foot house has been sold. According to listing information, the deal has yet to close but even in a slumping real estate market and despite many naysayers saying Mister Kravitz was real estate krazy a deal has been made.
Listing information reveals the house includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full and two half custom marble bathrooms, polished concrete floors and a custom wall of glass that slides open turning the living room into a giant covered porch. The back yard area has been completely tiled in some sort of expensive stone with a rectangular swimming pool and spa sunk between the house and the 1,100 square foot tiled dock.
Unfortunately, Lady Good Fortune is not smiling on Mister Kravitz up in New York City where he has been trying to unload his 6,000 square foot party penthouse on SoHo's cobble stoned Crosby Street. The 5 bedroom and 7 bathroom building topper has been for sale on and off for a good number of years with an asking price as high at $19,500,000 and as low as $12,000,000. Currently the asking price sits at $14,995,000.
UPDATE: Mister Kravitz got $2,450,000 for the property.
Lawd Mama, You're going have to stop stirring that pot with the spoon and use it on the chilrins if they get going like last time you mentioned Mister Kravitz.
ReplyDeleteThere's always plenty of coke cash in tacky, humid Miami.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not suprised that this home eventually sold for the original listing price due to it's Biscayne Point location, appropriate price based on comps, and with what looks like a revovation that would appeal to 21st Century prospective buyers unlike Kravitz's overly personalized and anything but designed to sell SoHo spread.
ReplyDeleteso how big is it, anyway? Any pics?
ReplyDeleteMama's article says it's 5,717 sqft.
ReplyDeleteQuite a day for not so good celebrity health news. TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack, and Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer and died.
ReplyDeleteomg, that gave me shivers. I've taken a pretty dim personal view of him in recent years, but I certainly hope he pulls through, and that Farrah rests in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe LA Times and CBS News just reported that Michael Jackson is dead. May he rest in the peace that always eluded him here.
ReplyDeleteMICHAEL JACKSON CAN EAT MY D@@@ and my S^^^
ReplyDeleteEveryone I knew from his camp (I used to work for them, him) was a wacko in their own right.
They were all evil evil in their own way, they lied all the time, his whole image was a facade, complete opposite in real life and the only thing you could count on from him was good music, everything else was a lie, end of story
when I stop working for him is when my life got better but I had to sign these damn agreements that can still take me down so that is all I have to say
I hope you come back as a more humble person in your next life "michael berry" and where are my millions you fake !!!!!!!
"I suppose super fame can turn one from a nice innocent person into a evil all controlling orge"
"and that evil all controlling orge could care less about all of his employees making buptkus, as long as he is making billions, yes that is right billions"
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the time to be tearing him apart. He died a premature death today. You have a bigger problem then he ever did if that isn't enough to satisfy you.
ReplyDelete12:04pm-- thats not what I meant
ReplyDeleteHis antics put me out in the street for a month years ago and he would not help me out in any way, and while he was alive I would have to worry about voodo doctors, his minions calling me and threating me
ReplyDeleteso now that he is dead
good.....
I am glad, another evil dick is gone from this earth
and make no mistake he did wield the power of god when he was alive
I hate to agree with Av Joe but he's right...what happened behind MJs closed doors was ugly. I know several people formerly in his camp who received "anonymous" threats for years after leaving his employ.
ReplyDeleteHe was without question a stellar musician and entertainer, but he was a ruined and paranoid man. And the people around him were/are worse.
Even the family attorney is already (already!) out making claims of persc. drug abuse encouraged by people around him a la Anna Nicole Smith.
He was the lion and we were all the starving animals underneath his fearsome control, lot of backstabbing, coercing, threats, he was like south park portrayed him to be
ReplyDeleteI know deep deep down inside he was a good person, but when I was in the room with him I could not speak to him unless spoken to, he would tell his folks not to pay some people because they were bothering him to much, he would fire many on a whim and also
he stole the beatles catalog right out from underneath paul mc cartney
not that paul is any nicer of a guy
all in all he was the best shrewdest businessman of our time
what I can is that if he could put you in the poorhouse he did, and he did great music but a lot of it was stolen from poor writers trying to get a break and they still lost in court, end of story
and of course if I said this out loud in front of a michael jackson fan they would look at you as if you stabbed them in the heart, so in the real world I would never say this, I would say RIP michael....... but I would be thinking you @#$%@#$%@#$%@#$%@#$%"
ReplyDeletethere I have said my peace
btw I hope that south park and other shows do more degrading michael jackson comedy, now that he is dead, "that is if he really is ?" he is no longer a threat to them as when he was alive, he had billions you know, billions stashed all over the globe, no joke
He may come back in his next lifetime as a songwriter who gets ripped and lives a life of poverty, that would be good karma.

ReplyDelete"there I have said my peace"
We can always hope, but I'm not holding my breath...
539pm PDT I am officially sick of the Jackson coverage, esp here.
ReplyDeletejeff goldblum supposibly died too
ReplyDeleteI know that MJ was not only a crack addict but all of those that worked for him had to do it as well and when they were fired from his camp for unknown reasons they were still addicted to crack
ReplyDeletemaybe that is where all of his money went ? it would certainly explain the mood swings
Hey - at least Joe was entertaining today. I stopped reading his rants on the housing market a month ago.
ReplyDeletehe died from a crack overdose, and that is the cover up
ReplyDeletejust like anna nicole and many many others
crack kills, it is no laughing matter
and for the rich and famous, many of them do it to take down the daily stress
I heard he died of food poisoning.
ReplyDeleteHe swallowed some 12 year old nuts.
he heeeeeeeee
Didn't Mama do a piece on MJ's Bel Air rental? Can't seem to find it.
ReplyDeleteYes 7:19. LINK
ReplyDeleteSomewhat eerily now, Mama mentioned it has "an unlucky 13 terlits" at the time.
a) Jeff Goldblum didn't die. It was a hoax.
ReplyDeleteb) That isn't the "real" Average Joe. He would never replace profanity with symbols.
no it was me, I put the symbols out of respect for little kids that may read this
ReplyDeletejust sayin
:)
:{} avg joe
btw mj was a destroyer of careers and livelyhoods, young and old
ReplyDeleteI came to know many that suffered under his rule and I felt sorry for those that thought he would make them rich, everyone I knew tried to do projects with him in hopes of getting rich, many of those folks are long gone and now he has to face them in the afterlife
Enough already joe. You made your point. You make us suffer all the time, subjecting us to your lengthy, conversation interrupting diatribes. You know the other commenters here don't like it, and do you care? NO. Pot calling the kettle black.
ReplyDeleteanon who made you the comment police ?
ReplyDeleteaverage joe is very entertaining, at least we have that
I was addressing joe, and who made you the comment police? You're probably joe anyways.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't Average Joe.
ReplyDeleteHE doesn't respect anyone nor would he care that children read this blog. If he respected others, he would have STFU a long time ago when he was told REPEATEDLY that his posts weren't welcome by EVERYONE on the blog.
If he cared that children read the blog, he would have never posted profanities in the first place.
Average Joe cares about one thing and one thing only - reading his own posts.
MMMMMM....... that Mister Kravitz, dirty in a good way Mama. Can we find out who the buyer might be and will they maintain the Karvitz custom day-core.
ReplyDeleteI know this is off topic, but RIP, Farrah.
ReplyDeleteJust tried to go into Celebrity Address Aerial site to look at some addresses relevant to MJ and lo and behold it is suddenly no longer a free site. They are asking for$9.99 a month or $24.99 for three months. These are porn prices, and they ain't selling porn -- at least the kind of porn that compels folks to fish out the old credit card. Their traffic is going to go down to next to zero, and it will be free again soon if they intend for the site to survive. The most viable model for sites like this is the model presented here. It may not be a lucrative one, but it allows the content provider to stay relevant, and to use the site as a springboard to other, possibly more lucrative, ventures.
ReplyDeleteBased on the extremely elite location this property was a steal for land value alone. Too bad I didn't have the cash.
ReplyDeleteI know this is off topic, but RIP, Farrah.
