Kylie Jenner spends 'half a million dollars' to make new mansion more private... after stalker scares
Kylie Jenner is investing a hefty sum to protect her privacy at her new Calabasas mansion. The 27-year-old billionaire dropped $500,000 on olive trees to surround her latest property, which is wrapping up construction, according to the US Sun. Aerial photos clearly show the line of trees intended to block views of her mansion as progress on it continued. The Kylie Cosmetics founder purchased the land from Miley Cyrus for $15 million in 2020. And after five years, the palatial residence is nearly complete. Kylie currently resides in another luxe abode nearby, her $36 million home that's tucked away in LA's Hidden Hills enclave — which is also part of Calabasas. Once it's done, Kylie's latest real estate investment will boast a 12-car underground garage and bunker. And per The Sun, the sprawling structure will have 15 bedrooms, a court for sports and a huge pool. The 30,000-sq-ft modern farm house was designed by top Canadian architect Richard Landry on a four-acre lot. The main house is expected to be around 18,000-square-feet, according to Architectural Digest, and one of the other structures will be a smaller guest house. Kylie — who has had to deal with stalkers in the past — will also have a building created to house her security team as they watch over her land. The mother-of-two will live at the home with daughter Stormi, seven, and son Aire, three, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, 34. She is now dating actor Timothée Chalamet, 29, who will also likely spend a good amount of time premises. The reality television personality was active on Instagram Monday, posting photos as she prepared to do a photo shoot for her Khy clothing brand. For the work day she was casually dressed in a dark sports bra, black Nike track pants, and platform sandals from ERL. She wrote across a mirror selfie, featuring her raven locks in a messy ponytail, 'The energy I'm bringing to my shoot today.' The multi-hyphenate also teased new pieces from Khy, which she launched in nearly two years ago in November 2023. One outfit consisted of a black off-the-shoulder top and matching skintight leggings. Another look was a tiny, body-hugging, strapless heather gray mini dress, into which the Kardashians star snugly slipped her famous curves.

Johnny Carson's third wife Joanna warmly remembered as 'wonderful' following her death at 93
Joanna Carson, the third wife of late comedy legend Johnny Carson, is being fondly remembered by her friends after her death at 93 last month. Joanna's death was revealed to her friends in July, and she was laid to rest last week in a funeral service, Extra reported Monday. The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation honored the late model in a Facebook post on July 30, saying she and late philanthropist Wallis Annenberg embodied the 'spirit of love and support' the organization's famed founder had in mind. Joanna, who grew up in New York, was previously married to Tim Holland, a backgammon player, for six years. Following their split, she began modeling and eventually met the NBC late night king, who was 15 years her senior and had been twice wed before. Johnny Carson - who hosted The Tonight Show from 1962 until 1992, died January 23, 2005 at the age of 79. His name has been in the headlines as of late in connection with the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Numerous media analysts have pointed out the tendency of Johnny Carson - who single-handedly dominated late night ratings for three decades - to not veer off too far politically so as not to alienate a large chunk of potential viewers. Joanna was well-remembered on the Facebook page, as a user named Trey Wilson described her and the late Wallis Annenberg as 'extraordinary women' who were 'born into different family systems faiths and traditions. They ultimately 'both used their gifts and talents to help people and animals that are discounted,' Wilson said, adding, 'They both helped me remember my moral compass.' .
