If you have always dreamed of meeting an A-list star and visiting Los Angeles at the same time, we will help you fulfill this mission.

The world of modern media is structured in such a way that almost everyone knows world-famous celebrities. Stars of sports, screen, politics, stage, television look at us from numerous covers of magazines and newspapers, store windows, billboards, and speak to us on radio and TV. Surprisingly, almost every one of us, having met once in real life media persona, strives, if not to “touch the dream,” then at least to photograph it as a keepsake and then post it on Facebook.

Follow our suggested plan carefully, and a photo of George Clooney hugging you might just decorate your hallway.

Let's say right away that stars are stars to avoid unnecessary attention. And it’s not without reason that glossy magazines spend so much money on professional paparazzi who specifically track down celebrities. However, celestials are also people and visit a variety of places. Plus, the mentality of Americans is a little different from ours - they are more sociable and open, including celebrities.

If, thanks to our advice, you are lucky and see Brad Pitt feeding his child an omelet in a cafe, behave with dignity. Don't fuss, wait until he finishes, introduce yourself, be sure to say that you are from afar, and ask permission to take a photo. Most likely, you will not be refused.

So, iPhone at the ready, it’s time to hit the road - in search of the beauty Paris Hilton and the brutal Bruce Willis.

MALIBU BEACH

Many kilometers of sandy beaches, breathtaking terrain, distance from the center of the bustle of Los Angeles and a surprisingly mild climate attracted not only the Spanish discoverer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who first landed here back in 1542, but also the most recognizable stars of our time. Today, Malibu is the city with the highest percentage of permanent celebrity residents per thousand inhabitants in the world.

Wake up before dawn, grab your surfboard and wait for the waves around the Malibu Pier from 6 to 8 am. An alternative is to jog along the surf line and meditate on the beach with the first rays of sun. This is what Will Smith, Jason Statham, Mel Gibson, Ryan Phillippe, Linda Hamilton, Pink and many other famous people who live in first-class houses along the ocean line regularly do here. The beach area is completely public, so no fences or barriers will stop you.

ORGANIC PRODUCTS CHAIN ​​STORE WHOLE FOODS

The fashion that has long swept California healthy eating products grown without the use of GMOs and chemical fertilizers, naturally, did not bypass the stellar representatives of humanity. The largest premium supermarket chain Whole Foods, offering a full range of organic food, has become a favorite grocery store of celebrities. The best chance of running into Jessica Simpson, Halle Barry, or one of the Lakers at a table with fresh avocados is at the Whole Foods in the Venice area, as this is the last such store before entering Malibu along the Pacific Highway (the famous Highway No. 1).

STAPLES CENTER

What star doesn't like to look at other stars and show off themselves? Perhaps the surest way to drop a hot dog on Jack Nicholson or spill beer on Bill Murray is to buy tickets to one of the Lakers or Clippers home basketball games. Despite the abundance of VIP boxes, many stars like to sit in the front row among ordinary fans. True, the price of tickets, reaching several thousand dollars per game, during play-off matches can scare off many, but what can you do for unique photo with your favorite star!

RUNYON CANYON PARK

Hicking - hiking in American style. This is when you have a car in the parking lot at the entrance to the park, sandwiches in your backpack, and special urns for barbecue coals everywhere. No adrenaline, like getting lost, being eaten by wild animals or starving, like in the Siberian taiga... But great views, beautiful nature and a helicopter for emergencies (such as overwork or dehydration).

Runyon Canyon Park, located in the Hollywood Hills, a 10-minute drive from Beverly Hills, is favored by celebrities for family picnics and small bike and hiking trips with their equally celebrity children. So don't forget to take your offspring - what if they become friends?

RODEO DRIVE

Shopping on Rodeo Drive, a street of luxury boutiques located in the heart of the Beverly Hills area, is as much a relief from stress and depression for A-listers as a trip to the Central Department Store is for Moscow residents. We arm ourselves with a platinum bank card with an extended credit line and plunge into the world of luxury and endless fittings in anticipation of Julia Roberts and Michelle Pfeiffer.

SPA TOUCH OF FAITH AESTHETICS

This is one of the leading beauty salons in Los Angeles, located in the Hollywood area. Founded by the charming Faith Tatro, a renowned skin care specialist, Touch of Faith has become a real Mecca for celebrity representatives of the fair half of humanity. The author's care technology using exclusive formulas is quite expensive to increase the likelihood of you meeting a celebrity.

RESTAURANT E BALDI, BEVERLY HILLS

In general, there are as many chic restaurants in Beverly Hills as there are McDonald's in Moscow. Each of them is interesting in its own way, plus several new places always open up in the new season. By the way, the prices in these establishments will pleasantly surprise Moscow regulars of fine dining restaurants. Even in the most expensive restaurant it is difficult to find a hot dish for more than 70-80 dollars. However, our goal is not only delicious food, but also the need to be within arm's length of Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz.

This season, perhaps, the Italian restaurant of the famous chef Edoardo Baldi is best suited for this purpose. A small room creates an atmosphere of home comfort, which means it increases your chances of getting that treasured photo, because dropping a gravy boat under the next table is as easy as shelling pears! And refined Italian food and a chic wine list will only help you cement your acquaintance. Don't forget about pre-reservation!

NIGHT CLUB DRAI`S

As with restaurants, night life Los Angeles is no less diverse. However, based on the purpose of the visit, we are interested in a top-level club, but with a fairly democratic atmosphere so that the stars are not fenced off from ordinary visitors with impenetrable VIP boxes with huge bodyguards. Drai`s is ideal for this - a small establishment located on the top floor of Hotel W. Excellent music, fresh air, an area with a swimming pool and stars in the direct and figuratively(the club has no roof). Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Drew Barrymore and other partygoers may catch your eye if you haven't already had too much tequila by now. Oh, and beware of doppelgängers—this is Los Angeles, after all!

TESLA MOTORS CAR SHOWROOM

The brainchild of Elon Musk, a new generation electric sports car, quickly won the hearts of not only Silicon Valley millionaires, but also Hollywood stars. Chic design, cutting-edge technology, unique environmental friendliness, excellent image - all this has led to the fact that the queue for a new Tesla car has stretched for almost two years. In our case, one thing is encouraging - there are still more stars who have not yet bought a car than those who have bought it. So it's worth heading to Tesla Motors headquarters in Santa Monica. Perhaps, tomorrow David Duchovny will buy himself a new car there, who has stated many times that, unlike screen hero TV series Californication, who drove a Porsche 911, prefers larger cars.

PRIVATE JET LOUNGE AT LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

Well, perhaps the most reliable way to meet a celebrity is to have a cup of coffee with him (her) in the bar of the Private Jets Lounge while the star is waiting for his private plane to take off. The disadvantages are obvious: to do this you will have to buy your own plane or borrow one from an oligarch friend. And in this case, the question is: if you have your own plane, why do you need a photo with Beckham? Dream about something more impressive!

Most Hollywood stars buy homes in California. This is due to the purity and natural resources this state. It's quiet here, calm, and nearby Pacific Ocean With Cote d'Azur and warm water. California is warm 350 days a year, but the air here is dry, making summer quite easy to endure.

The stars also order the installation of air conditioners, as well as swimming pools, to make the heat easier to bear.
The Pacific Ocean is a source of quality seafood. Undoubtedly, California has its own special and unique atmosphere. For this reason, many stars of one size or another settle here. Below you can see a list of the most expensive celebrity homes in California.

№8 – Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart's mansion. The cost of the house is estimated at 2.2 million dollars. It is located in the city of Los Angeles. Its area is 312 sq. meters. The house has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a veranda and a small office. There is an adjacent area of ​​1000 square meters. meters. Here you can make a fire and have a picnic. Kristen has her own pool.

#7 – Justin Bieber

No. 6 – Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has a cute mansion that looks more like a palace. Its cost reaches 10 million dollars. The area where the house is located reaches a size of 12 thousand square meters, while the area of ​​the mansion is 890 square meters. m. Inside there are 8 bedrooms, as well as 7 bathrooms and a luxurious sauna. Near the house there is a swimming pool and a special building for its maintenance. Not far from all this you can find a garage designed exclusively for Porsche.

No. 2 – Jennifer Aniston

2. Jennifer Aniston. The actress owns a substantial mansion in Los Angeles. The price of her house is $19.5 million. Before that, she sold the house, which is located in Beverly Hills, for 35 million.

No. 1 – Britney Spears

Singer and actress Britney Spears takes honorable first place. She built herself a house according to the design of a famous designer. This pleasure cost 20 million dollars. The total area of ​​the building was 2000 square meters. The mansion is striking in its size. Inside there are 30 bathrooms, as well as 10 bedrooms. In addition, near the house there is a tennis court, grottoes, waterfalls and swimming pools.

Stars try not to skimp on real estate, as well as their personal space. Even if they don’t spend too much time in their many mansions, it’s still nice to return to where you are expected, and every corner is painfully familiar. You always want every corner of your home to be relaxing and enjoyable, especially if it’s hard to count them.

Just yesterday, I watched it on local television documentary about the life of the state of California. This is where the beautiful and fabulous life is. Where do we live? The small town of Kissimmee, near Orlando, is a sort of one-story village with a few attractions. There are, of course, Disney parks in Orlando (an hour away by car). Boring.

If you only knew how much I wanted to change our address and move to a big, noisy city with great opportunities. That same evening, after watching the film, I decided to look at the cost of real estate in different cities in California. What I saw made me very sad. If we could successfully sell our total of 6-room house with a swimming pool and a garage for 2 cars, then with the proceeds from the sale we could buy a one-room apartment in an old, shabby house in the suburbs of Sacramento or Los Angeles.

This is our pool

Alas... Just as my dream caught fire, it went out. There is no chance for us to increase the family budget, well, unless our daughter meets some moneybag on her way. Who knows, anything can happen. Or me. True, I have less chance of this - I’m older and less attractive, and I’m still married. And who knows what will happen next, what my years will be like.

Our street.

But today the question of moving has completely disappeared precisely because of lack of funds. While browsing real estate for sale, I came across a modest little house worth $13 million. This mansion turns out to be sold by the well-known pop star Britney Spears. I decided to look, where does she live if she is selling this house? Then I started looking at the houses of other celebrities and got so carried away that I collected a whole article’s worth of photo material about stars’ real estate.
If I am interested in this issue, perhaps some of my readers will also find this topic interesting. One way or another, I am presenting for your viewing information about celebrity real estate found from various sources. This is exactly how this article “Houses of Celebrities and Hollywood Stars” appeared.

Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, but lives in a house in France with his longtime French flame, singer Vanessa Paradis.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston call this residence in the modest town of Ocala, Florida, home. They bought the house for $8 million in 2003, in large part because it has the largest private airstrip in the US. Travolta loves to park his Boeing 707 next to the front door. “If I can see an airplane from my bedroom window, I’m happy.”

Jennifer Lopez's beautiful mansion in Los Angeles resembles a museum in its decoration.

I look at these houses and think - which one should I choose?

A trip to Los Angeles wouldn't be complete without meeting the stars.

Location: West Hollywood

1. Pizzeria Mozza

Situation: This semi-casual Italian restaurant (next door is the more artsy Osteria Mozza) attracts crowds that enjoy watching and being observed just as much as a good gnocchi or a loaf of olive bread. What's even better is that the celebrities you meet here actually eat! This shows how delicious the cuisine is, so even if you don't see anyone, you'll really enjoy the food.

Celebrities: David Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Gordon Ramsay, Andre Ethier.

For the initiated: This place is small and the tables are close together, so come as a couple to get a quick seat and maybe sit elbow to elbow with the star.

Location: Hancock Park

1. Tavern

Situation: Take the city's favorite chef, Suzanne Goin, add an exclusive Brentwood location, and the stars will fly to this restaurant, the grandest of the Goin empire. Celebrities and their agents snack on chicken salads, burgers and fries (yes, fries, and onion rings!) in the informal Blue Room lounge, or in the more formal and quiet back room of the Atrium, where a favorite seat is the black corner banquette .

Celebrities: President Obama, Jessica Alba, Forest Whitaker, Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Diane Lane, Josh Brolin, Ari Emanuel.

For the initiated: Everyone else - that is, we can, as a last resort (and cheaper), get a similar experience as the superstars at the restaurant's bakery - the Larder. There you can get ready-made meals, with farro salad being a favorite. And, unlike Hollywood starlets, don't forget to buy a few chocolate chip cookies.

Location: Brentwood

1. Urth Cafe

Situation: Urth has four locations in Los Angeles, but this is the one the starlets chose as a place to hang out (you might even have seen it on Entourage). The focus here is on organic coffees, teas and vegan desserts, but the real find can be the lesser known, mid-sized and, from time to time, big celebrities who dine here. And also the paparazzi parked on the street, following the stars' coffee habits.

Celebrities: Miley Cyrus, Malin Akerman, Kylie Jenner, Ashley Tisdale, Joe Jonas, Minka Kelly, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, Emma Watson, Amanda Seyfried, Jake Gyllenhaal, Shenae Grimes, Ashley Benson, Ashley Greene.

For the initiated: This busy café is definitely worth a visit, especially if you can sit on the patio overlooking Melrose Avenue. You can watch the stars come and go with tea, lattes and other drinks in hand.

Do you want to know how your favorite actor or musician lives, what sofa he used to lie on and what pool to relax near? Celebrity houses in Los Angeles are not so easy to find, because they are reliably hidden from the eyes of random passers-by.

Its area is almost 1500 square meters. m, and the cost is $20 million. The celebrity house has 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 2 swimming pools, 2 spas, 8 fireplaces and even its own vineyard.

Celebrity country houses tend to impress with their size - the area of ​​Britney Spears's former mansion Chateau Suenos (House of Dreams), located in the small town of Calabasas in the southwestern part of the San Fernando Valley, is over 900 square meters. m. The Mediterranean-style estate was built in 2007. The house has seven bedrooms and the same number of bathrooms. The grounds include a fountain, a swimming pool, a six-car garage and a guest house.

Jennifer Aniston, showing off her luxurious mansion, said that everything in it was made with love, so there is a good atmosphere and energy in the house. Designer Stephen Shadley, who spent two and a half years working on the home's interior, previously designed interiors for actress Diane Keaton and her two homes in Southern California and Arizona, and director Woody Allen and his New York City apartment.

The house itself was built in 1970 by architect Harold Levitt. At first sight, Jennifer Aniston fell in love with it and never doubted buying it for a day. The entire house is made from environmentally friendly materials, and solar panels are installed on the roof.
