Oprah's BFF Gayle King Shows Off Her Manhattan Penthouse


2011_3_gayle.jpg
If you can get over the incestuousness of this segment—Oprah bestie Gayle Kinggoing on Oprah designer Nate Berkus's show to talk about her fabulous Manhattan apartment—then you'll be rewarded with a glimpse into the private life of Oprah herself. How so? Because the interior design is in accordance with various Oprah Rules, including no white ceilings. It makes sense that the Queen of All Media would have a say in the place's decor. When the penthouse at East 57th Street'sPlace 57 was bought for over $7 million, it was done so in the name of Oprah's deceased cocker spaniel, making some think that Gayle had a little help with the down payment. Check out the clip below for a peek inside, and a look at some pretty darn interesting Harlem-inspired wallpaper

Anne Eisenhower Finds Buyer for Her $35M Southampton Estate

Image
Claverack, the  $35 million  Southampton estate belonging to  Anne Eisenhower (yes, like the president!) has finally found a buyer. Sotheby's Harald Grant, who's listed the property for years now, "confirmed" to the  WSJ  "that the three-story house ... was in contract and due to close before the end of the year." Sadly, Grant stayed mum about the price, but most brokers still think it'll rank as one of the top sales of the year.
