Mad Men's John Slattery Says "Not In My Backyard!"

We Tivo'd last night's season finale of Mad Men and started watching it this morning.  We were on the edge of our bed waiting to hear a final quip from our favorite character, Roger Sterling.  But, as luck would have it, our Tivo ran out of storage space and didn't record the last few minutes!  Oh well!

We decided to spend this morning looking for info about the homes of Roger, er, John Slattery, that is (above). We know this handsome actor is married to actress Talia Balsam--who plays his ex-wife on the show and also happens to be the real-life ex-wife of George Clooney.  We also know that they split their time between New York and Los Angeles.

Looks like they might be spending more time in New York . . . so they can keep fighting!  No, not each other!  They are fighting the city's plans to build a $346 million sanitation department building in their neighborhood.  For more details, check out the Huffington Post article here.

We'll let you know if we find photos.  In the meantime, if you want to get your fix on the homes of Mad Men stars, be sure to read our earlier posts showcasing the homes of John Hamm/Don Draper, January Jones/Betty Draper, and  Bryan Batt/Sal Romano.  By the way, Sal was conspicuously absent from last night's show, but we'd bet money he'll be back!

Celebrity Home of the Week: Sigrid Olsen's Home

Sorry for the late posting.  Today is such a terrible news day. One day after the mass shooting at Fort Hood, we now have another mass shooting, this time in Orlando. It's the kind of day to make us question why we do what we do.

First Lady of France Carla Bruni's Childhood Castle For Sale

Carla Bruni has many titles: wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, former singer/songwriter, former model, and current fashion icon who gave our First Lady Michelle Obama (shown with Bruni above) a run for her money at this year's G-20 summit.

Well she's also an Italian-born heiress who grew up in this castle in Italy, which happens to be for sale with an asking price of around $28 million (U.S. dollars):

It's grand of course! Still don't know if we'd ever want to live in a castle, though. See interior and exterior photos at PropGoLuxury. Hat tip to Luxuo for alerting us to it!

After checking out the photos, let us know if you'd want to live there!

Poppy Montgomery's Spanish Colonial Home

When we featured Enrique Murciano yesterday, we did not realize that CBS had just canceled his show, Without A Trace.  That's too bad.  Oh well, since we're already focused on that show, we figured we might as well take a look at the home of his co-star, Australian-born Poppy Montgomery.  And, as with Enrique's home, we were again pleasantly surprised!

EXCLUSIVE! Enrique Murciano Buys Home in Hollywood Hills

It took a hottie with Cuban roots like Enrique Murciano to say ENOUGH with the Spanish mediterranean homes!  This TV star of Without a Trace just bought a mid-century modern home in the Hollywood Hills.  He purchased the 4BR/3BA home in August for $1.6 million. 

It took a lot of digging, but we found the photos!!!

We love mid-century houses and think this one is a fabulous example of what makes them so great to live in.  Like most, this one is deceptively low-key.  The front is unassuming, yet the back has a little surprise!

Lamar Odom -- Back on the Market

TMZ is reporting that Lamar Odom has put his Manhattan Beach, California mansion on the market. He's asking $2.39 million. Guess he really is looking to get a new place with his new wife, Khloe Kardashian. Anyway, this one looks like a Spanish mediterranean--but we all know a real one when we see one. Just like we all know a real marriage when we see one too!

Charlie Sheen's House Up For Sale

Yup!  We're talking about another Spanish mediterranean style home! Okay, maybe it's more of an adobe style, but we love it.  This one is owned by Charlie Sheen and his wife, Brooke Meuller.  We first learned about it from one of our favorite blogs, Hooked on Houses.  The home is located in Los Feliz, California.  (Be sure to check out the homes of other Los Feliz celebs John Hamm and January Jones of AMC's Mad Men.) 

Charlie and Brooke are asking $3.7 million for their home.  It's absolutely gorgeous inside!  Here's a teaser:
