CELEBRITY PADS featuring Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West new Bel Air house


Kim Kardashian reportedly purchased this house in Bel Air, California, with boyfriend Kanye West for nearly $11 million. It’s brand new and in “an über-private, gated community” where the monthly HOA fees alone are what a lot of people would consider mortgage payments ($933/month)! WOW!

Less than two months after Kim and Kanye purchased the sprawling 10,000 square-foot  home in Bel Air, Calif., the parents-to-be have sold the villa for a hefty profit.

Kardashian, 32, and West, 35, have already flipped the $10.75 million mansion to an unnamed buyer for a million dollars more than they paid for it.

The pair wanted to gut the original design to accommodate a 14,000-square-foot Italian villa with its own movie theater, bowling alley, basketball court, and spa, but apparently, this ended up being more of a bother than it was worth!

Guess it's not too big an issue when you're already on the look-out for new homes in Paris, New York, and Miami.

Either way this home is a beauty!

New CHEESECAKE FACTORY to open in Novi!


The Cheesecake Factory can be found in nearly three dozen states, but Twelve Oaks Mall will be the popular chain's first Michigan location.
The Cheesecake Factory will open its first Michigan restaurant at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi later this year, Taubman Centers said today.

The Cheesecake Factory can be found in nearly three dozen states, but Twelve Oaks Mall will be the popular chain's first Michigan restaurant.

For years, real estate developers in Michigan tried to convince the restaurant chain to open in the state. The restaurant offers an extensive, full-service menu ranging from seafood to steaks along with, of course, a large dessert menu that includes more than two dozen cheesecake choices.
Bloomfield Hills-based Taubman Centers said the Cheesecake Factory will operate an 8,430-square-foot restaurant at Twelve Oaks that will accommodate approximately 225 guests and another 60 on the patio.

“Having grown up in Detroit and watched my parents start their cheesecake business here in the 1950s, opening a Cheesecake Factory at Twelve Oaks feels like a true homecoming,” David Overton, founder and CEO of the Cheesecake Factory said in a statement.

Founded in 1978, the Cheesecake Factory operates 177 restaurants in the U.S.
