YouTuber Phil DeFranco ready to sell starter mansion

Rob Lowe by Montecito home for $13 mill

Just a few months ago Rob sold a house in Montecito and I thought, hey, that's smart. Every celeb and big wig and duke and dutchess are moving to Montecito right now, so sell that thing for a mint!  But seems he just sunk the earnings back into Montecito anyway.  What's with this town? Everyone is moving there! The new Lowe estate includes a main mansion originally built in 1925 and designed in the classic Spanish Revival-meets-Mediterranean architectural style that proliferates Santa Barbara. There are also two detached guest cottages, both of them rather ramshackle, clapboard-sided affairs surrounded by overgrown foliage and equipped with their own pea gravel patios.

The legend Tom Waits lists his top 20 albums

Tom Waits is considered by many to be one of Rock and Rolls gods, and yet so many people have never even heard of him.  His trademark deep raspy voice doesn't make it over to the Billboard charts ever and he's not selling trucks in tv ads.  But rest assured, he's a rock god. He also had relationships with both Bette Midler and Rickie Lee Jones, who are two of my favorite female singers of all time. But I digress... He names a comedy album by the late, great Bill Hicks, who was “li...
