The house 8,100 square feet and supposedly located at 42 West 12th Street. One may wonder if there is a specific reason for the couple to be house hunting in The Big Apple. Could this mean that Katie is heading back to Broadway again?

A while back we featured an article about how Hollywood was boycotting New York as a filming location due to extra charges they wanted to impose on the production crews for permits. Well now it seems as if Hollywood producers have found a new location and it’s right in their own backyard because California’s new filming incentives appear to be heading for a happy Hollywood ending.

With Rosie O’Donnell making the rounds for America and RiRi and Chris Brown holed up at Diddy’s, we’ve heard alot about Star Island this week. Rosie famously owns a house on the island that she bought after her talk show took off and Diddy has one of Florida’s most fabulous homes also located on the island.
Star Island is actually a manmade island in Biscayne Bay and is considered part of Miami. There are only 35 (very exclusive) homes on the island which is connected to the rest of the city by a bridge road. Past and current residents include Gloria Estefan, Shaquille O’Neal, Lenny Kravitz and of course Rosie and Diddy. To see a map of the celebs home, check out this map.
