Day 3
Louise and I planned on going to Universal Studios, however the best laid plans, can fail when you (me) sleep into 1030am. I blame the jet lag.
We caught the 'hop on, hop off" bus to Hollywood Blvd, where we had lunch, we both had a healthy vege wrap (Yes, mum I'm watching my cholesterol). Then it was off on the Movie Stars Homes tour, to view the celebrities homes in the xclusive suburbs of the Hollywood Hills, Bel Air and Beverly Hills. We saw no celebrities, just hundreds of gardeners, cleaners and assorted hired help. I was surprised how close they all live to each other, where basically every second house contains a celebrity. The list of celebrities whose homes we saw were endless; Dr Phil (pictured above), Brad Pitt, Lucille Ball, Will Farrell, Arnold Schwarznegger, Mike Tyson, Nancy Reagan, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher and Bruce Willis who live across the road from each other to make it more convenient for their children???. Some, are obscurred by high hedges, like Barbara Streisand's and Tom Cruises huge estates, however most can be seen from the street.
The security conscious Steven Spielberg, has just bought a huge home on top of his own hilltop above Hollywood. (pictured below). He's obviously very smart, at least he won't have tour buses driving past his front door every day. He paid 60 Million dollars for the property 3 months ago!!
The famous residential streets of Beverly Hills lined with palm trees. (pictured above).
