Conan's Elvis tribute in Brentwood?
Frivolous interlude: The ever-resourceful Real Estalker has photos and analysis of Conan O'Brien's new, $10 million plus Brentwood home, which was featured this week in Ruth Ryon's "Hot Property" column in the L.A. Times.
Real Estalker deems the ginormous house "classy," "dignified" and "restrained," which is high praise given the blog's generally picky standards.
That's Conan's new dining room pictured on the left. On the right? That would be Graceland. Yes, Conan appears to have purchased a house with an Elvis-inspired dining room. I know what you're thinking: who has time to think of bizarre coincidences like this, and hunt down the pictures on the web, and then place them side by side? That person would be Tony Pierce, author of busblog, and the boss of blogs at LATimes.com.
There is a sliver of news in this item: Real Estalker reports O'Brien paid slightly more than the asking price for the house -- she says the house listed for $10.495 million, and sold for $10.75 million: "Perhaps the sagging market has yet to affect the small pool of buyers lucky enough to have seriously deep pockets."

that's not Conan's furniture. That's just furniture for staging to help sell the house. Nice house. Kinda smallish lot.

Lefty,
I buy your sun and the stars for 2001 price plus inflation and I will throw few extra bucks.
Done deal?

Ohmigosh--they both have tables, chairs, and a chandelier! I actually don't see the resemblance. And even if there was...well, don't most rich people's dining rooms probably look like that? I can only imagine that Lefty's dining room is ten times more opulent from all the money he's scoring in today's red-hot market!
