Candidate #1: Shia LaBeouf's Cool Sherman Oaks Home
PROS* Gorgeous mid-century house. Hollywood style and glamour.
* Shia's a Hollywood Hottie!
CONS
* Shia is at about minute 12 of his 15 minutes of fame.
* The house is so fab, we're just plain jealous! Yes, we reserve the right to 'playa hate.'
Candidate #2: The "Ferris Beuller" House of Glass
PROS
* Another mid-century beauty (albeit probably freezing cold during those Chicago winters).
* Nice period furniture pieces inside.
* It's for sale. So you can own a piece of movie history . . . if you've got $2.3M.
CONS
* Infamous Ferrari is not included in the sales price.
* It's not really a celebrity's house. This actually disqualifies it from winning.
* It's not even the movie house of the movie's only celebrity--to the extent that we're still calling Matthew Broderick a celeb. Remember, it was his friend Cameron's house.
(Cameron was played by Alan Ruck, in case anyone cares and we know no one does.)
Candidate #3: Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's Overpriced New York Home
PROS
* It's a normal person's house. (Of course, Geithner may be a psycho.)
* It's the first house to garner its own segment on The Daily Show.
* It's possibly still for sale on the down low + at a greatly reduced price after that segment.
CONS
* That now infamous royal blue tile in the bathroom could get on our nerves.
* That aqua blue and salmon pink bedroom could make us commit hari-kari!
* It's overpriced, Geithner, you dumba$$! No wonder folks want you fired!
Candidate #4: Whoopi Goldberg's Eccentric SoHo Co-op
PROS
* It's a cool and quirky SoHo loft that happens to be for sale.
* AOL thought enough of it to put it on full blast to its subscribers yesterday.
* Despite our observations, a lot of people seemed to really dig her place.
CONS
* It's a little too quirky for us.
* It's a little too Shabby Chic-y for us.
* Did she ever f*ck Ted Danson there? Ewww!
So after weighing all the pros and cons, we have to call it a three-way tie this week. Congratulations Shia, Tim, and Whoopi. All of you have the Celebrity Homes of the Week!
Ciao!
Get ready to get your socks knocked off! We just learned that Transformers cutie Shia LaBeouf just plunked down $1.825M for this stunner in Sherman Oaks, California.
This 3-bedroom/4-bath home was built in 1958. That's right! Yet another midcentury home. And a serious contender for our Celebrity Home of the Week!
