Cheyenne Jackson is just the cutest thing in shoes and he, along with his partner and children, are selling his amazingly designed home in the Hollywood Hills for a rather specific $2.088m. I'm dying over the wallpaper.
Set privately behind a high fence with an electronic driveway gate that opens to a two-car car port and off-street parking for half of a dozen more cars, the single-level residence has three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,767-square-feet.

Actor Tom Sizemore was kicked off a film set in 2003 after he was accused of fondling an 11-year-old girl, it was revealed Monday.
The “Saving Private Ryan” actor was forced to leave a Utah film set after the young girl told her parents that Sizemore touched her genitals, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Months after the incident, the actor returned to a set in Malibu to finish shooting the film, “Born Killers” (shot as “Piggy Banks”). By that time the parents had declined to press charges, the site said.
The now-26-year-old actress did not comment to the site but mentioned t...
It seems Meghan Markle will be a suit no more.
The seventh season of the USA legal drama "Suits" will be Markle’s last, Deadline reports. It will also be the final season for Patrick J. Adams, who plays her fiancé on the show.
Both stars’ contracts are up after season seven, so neither is obligated to stay. The cast has been filming the second half of the seventh season this fall.
Her departure may not only mean she’s moving on from the U.S. hit, but that she’s moving onto a new l...
President Trump wants to eat bacon and eggs with one lucky voter and talk shop on American issues ... but he'd like a donation first.
Trump and Mike Pence's re-election committee sent out a message to GOPers Monday, in which they're soliciting $3 donations for a chance to break bread toast with the Prez.
In the document purportedly written by Trump himself, 45 says he wants to hear what REAL Americans have to say about the country, and wants to do it over breakfast in NYC. But, of c...

It's not known why she chose to carry it.
