Ashlee Simpson’s lil’ Warhol party

So I love the idea here. The birthday party theme being Andy Warhol, pop artist of the ages. The guest list was family only, but you're the Simpsons (Jessica & Ashlee) and the Ross' (Tracee and Evan) so stars are just part of the drill. How miserable is the guest sitting with Ashlee? LOL. I love it. No frontin' here. The kid's a kid and they're not always thrilled. Super party, though.  And I love the banana's and soup can cake. If those references are lost on you, hit up google - "Warhol Soup" or "Warhol banana".  And read a book some time. So I love the idea here.

Rooney Mara Chops Price of Mid-Century Modern Home

Sports heiress-turned-Oscar nominated actress Rooney Mara has chopped the asking price of her celeb-pedigreed mid-century modern in the hills above L.A.’s Bronson Canyon from $3.8 million to just under $3.6 million after nearly three months on the open market. Designed by architect Phil Brown and built in 1963 on a nearly quarter-acre promontory near the end of a discreet cul-de-sac, the comfortably sophisticated residence retains its original, open-plan layout. Platinum gray terrazzo floors run throughout the 2,300-square-foot residence, which contains two (and potentially three) bedrooms and 1.5 upgraded bathrooms that feature restored vintage elements. A gated courtyard leads to a glass-walled foyer that spills into a sun-filled living and dining room that stretches to more than 30 feet in length. The living area is anchored by a minimal-minded two-sided fireplace with cantilevered hearth. Two walls of floor-to-ceiling glass sliders lead out to a wraparound deck that extends out over the hillside with sweeping city, canyon and mountain views.
