If you missed last night's VH1 Divas Live, which felt more like a teen edition, you didn't miss much. Except an apparently drugged out host Paula Abdul nearly falling on her ass during one of her lousy opening song and dance numbers. She redeemed herself, though, with a pretty good imitation of Ellen DeGeneres dancing through the audience aisles.
Anyway, this year's crop of divas -- Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Adele, and Miley Cyrus, ranging in age from 16 to 29 years old (Isn't there a minimum age for divas?) -- belted out their hit songs pretty decently. They also sang duets with big music stars like Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper, India Arie, Martina McBride, Melissa Ethridge, and Sheryl Crow, ranging in quality from outstanding (Wonder/Hudson) to piss-poor (Lauper/Lewis).
So all we really wanna know is, how do these divas live?
Up first is the home of, ahem, diva Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana. She lives in this 5BR/6BA mediterranean style home in North Hollywood:

At 16, she's the youngest of the diva bunch, so naturally she lives with her parents. Her dad is one-hit-wonder country singer Billy Ray "Joe Jackson is my Idol" Cyrus, who co-stars with her in Disney's Hannah Montana show. Here's the whole family in their kitchen below:
Miley's bedroom is allegedly inspired by the Hotel Viceroy. While we're sick of hotel-inspired houses, we do like the capiz shell chandelier:
And what teenage girl wouldn't want a dressing room like this of her own:
Up next in Part 2: Leona Lewis' home.
What female wouldn't want a dressing room like that. You can actually sitdown to put on your shoes instead of throwing them on the floor to wrestle them on. Teens would love to live the way she does.
ReplyDeleteGood point Anon! We'd kill for it!
ReplyDeleteOh the charmed life! A Diva at 16, guess they want younger veiwers.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad they over use the word, she will be over the hill at 25 trying to make a comeback. Then we'll get a bio of how hhhhhard it was to be so successful so young and what she missed in her childhood. Then there will be a new album and she will be BACK honored again as one of the Diva's.
Life is good
We're with you on the part about VH1 appearing to want younger viewers. Don't know if it's the wisest move for them. Only time will tell. Bravo doesn't seem to be going after that market. Ditto for AMC. They have excellent shows that appeal to the 30+ crowd.
ReplyDeletePlus, VH1 and MTV are owned by the same group. Why overlap?
Anyway, we also think it's strange to call a 16yo a diva. Still, we wish her well.
Her bedroom and dressing room are fabulous. Can I be a 16 year old diva? Damn!
ReplyDeleteRight Tina! You know, technically, we don't think Miley deserves diva status, but we noticed that she definitely lives like one!
