NYC Apartments

Fluffing The Cradle For The Child Bride!
The super creepy circumstances surrounding Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen’s introduction (she was Allen’s girlfriend's 10-year-old daughter), courtship (Allen began taking nude photographs of her in her late teens), and marriage (they've since adopted 2 fiancees, um, I mean 'daughters') make it hard to evaluate almost any aspect of their relationship objectively.

But really, what are we to make of the Architectural Digest photographs of their newly decorated East 70th Street townhouse when there are paintings of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the same room as grandpa-looking rocking chair? Why not just refill the Airwick with Dirty Old Man Smell?

Chelsea Clinton And Jimmy Fallon Like It Rough!
"Jesstin?" "Justica?" Is hard to know what they’re calling them these days, but before long someone in an NYC luxury apartment just might have the honor of calling Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake “neighbor.” The couple has recently been spotted touring NYC apartments, and Timberlake was quoted in the New York Post describing a 3-bedroom, 5-TV duplex condo in Chelsea as “smooth.”

Apparently Chelsea Clinton and Jimmy Fallon like it a bit rougher as both passed on the place...

It's Hard Out There For A Gimp!
Maybe he didn't know there was an elevator? Why else would freshly damaged Quarterback Tom Brady recently list his 3-bedroom, luxury apartment on the 65th floor of the Time Warner building for $18.29 million? Surely the only reason he spends so much time at his supermodel girlfreind's West Village townhouse is that there are only four floors...

Pests Out-of-Control
They're so tiny, but an infestation can destroy the peace and quiet NYC neighborhood within seconds! The Olsen twins voracious appetite to be seen trying not to be seen has consumed the patience of residents of the Greenwich Village brownstone they rent the top two floors of. Says one itchy resident who was removed from her own stoop so the twins could go through the front door privately, "They are disruptive, intrusive, and totally disrespectful!" Secondary infestations of goons, idling SUVs, other "spoiled brats", and the idiots who love them have spread up and down West 13th Street. Eeeew! [NYPost]

Joke's On Them!
Whoever rents Heath Leger's NYC apartment next will be paying $26,000. a month, $4000. more per month than the late actor paid for the SoHo. Then again, Leger only lived there until January 2008, and that was before luxury apartment had become the scene of a talented young star's all too early demise. [NYSun]

Meet the Parents!
In the elevator! In the laundry room! Every gosh darn time you set foot outside of your $10,000,000. luxury co-op! That's what Ben Stiller gets for purchasing his NYC apartment in his parents' Upper West Side building. Maybe Ann Zabar, the apartment's previous tenant, left the fridge stocked well enough that he won't have to go outside for a while. [NYSun]

Dome Home
Is it any wonder that the unusually high-foreheaded fashion mogul, Tommy Hilfiger feels at home in domes? Hilfiger's trading in his $50,000 for his luxury apartment in the Plaza for a 6000 square foot property inside the dome of another Central Park adjacent condo building. That's a lot of headroom!

NYC real-estate insiders say that "the incredible amount [Alex Rodriguez] is offering" on a four-bedroom luxury apartment for sale in 15 Central may be waaay high and outside. But with Madonna's condo only two blocks away, he may be swinging for a homerun. [NYP]

Last week the cast and crew of the CW11's hit show, Gossip Girl descended upon a home in Prospect Park South to shoot as scene in which Serena and Blair are having a fight - in the Hamptons! Yep, and believe it or not, this Queens home makes a pretty convincing Hampton home, especially when the director was overheard barking, "Spank her again!" [FlatbushVegan]

The ultra-proper River House on West 87th at one time rejected actress Diane Keaton's application for one of their luxury NYC apartments because her relationship with Woody Allen was considered unseemly. In the visage of Renee Zellweger, however, River House must be as pleased to find a neighbor as pinched as they are puckered, since they have just approved her purchase of a third luxury apartment in the building.

It's hard to say if Hollywood partners in Goth, Sweeny Todd's director Tim Burton and co-star Helena Bonham Carter, decided to sell their two, combinable NYC apartments in 1 Fifth Avenue when they heard Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell's next novel would be called One Fifth Avenue. But it's even harder to picture Carter in flouncy pink dresses and Burton being emotionally unavailable. [NYP]

Maybe Rodney Dangerfield "can't get no respect", but his spacious NYC luxury can get no buyer after two price cuts and over 10 months on the market. [NYMag]
