Story I'm just a lil pissy that I couldn't get news about my hometown from any media source (including the DC news that I watched today) other than Nola.com. And the only reason why I checked is because talked to friends who are there with no power and damaged homes. Extremely bad thunderstorms and tornadoes ripped through the N.O. around 3am this morning and damaged a vast amount of homes and property--what was left over from Katrina. The West Bank is a mess and so is the Uptown area. A huge amount of FEMA trailers are wiped out and now people for real have no place to go. Almost the whole N.O. area is without power still this afternoon. I'll let you take a wild guess on whether FEMA is even on the scene yet. Damn shame. Moving on before I get even more heated....
Here's a pic of MJB's new $33.5 million mansion she's leasing in LA:
The L.A. Times reports that "...the lease price is $30,000 a month, unfurnished, and the couple hired an interior designer, which suggests they may settle in for a while. The house, built in 2003, has five bedrooms and 8 1/2 bathrooms in about 8,000 square feet." She'll be staying their with Kendu and Co. for about 6 months while she works on her new album and other projects. Must be nice....
EDIT: The above pic is not MJB's rental house. The LA Times did a bad job of pairing the pics with the stories. That "Trophy" house is actually David Arquette's and Courtney Cox's and they are putting on the market. The second story on the page was about Courtney/David. Still a nice house though.
