SOLVED!
[CDAN] I guess this actress is a B list by name recognition, but if we are going by acting talent it would be a Z. OK, maybe that is an exaggeration. How about an S. Anyway, she also does some other things that make her some money, and she is probably more well known for them than her acting. Our actress recently bought a huge mansion with a really large price tag. Living large right? Well, it turns out that our actress got most of the money for the purchase from an A list ex. He is guaranteeing the loan and also put up most of the down payment. The ex was thrilled that she bought a place so close to his. I think he is expecting way more than for her to repay him the money.
SOLVED!
It’s Jennifer Lopez, whose new mansion was financed by Sean Combs P Diddy Puff Daddy! Source: CDAN
FYI, Jennifer Lopez’s new house is 14,000 square feet and cost $18 million. It is located in the Water Mill area of The Hamptons, not far from Diddy’s estate.
Why would Jennifer, who has plenty of money, want or need Diddy to finance her house? Is it some kind of legal/financial maneuver to separate this asset from those that she’ll be splitting with Marc Anthony in the divorce? And what will she now owe Diddy… besides money?
Congratulations to Andromeda, who had the first completely correct guess!
JLo… ex being Ben Affleck?
There’s no way this is JLo. Firstly, she was a singer first and an actress second. Secondly, there’s no way that she is too poor to afford her own mansion. She also has A-list name recognition, not B.
I have to stand by what I said before. She must be worth $100 million. She wouldn’t even have to mortgage something like that.
I agree. I think the reference to Z (lopeZ) and S (sound similarity) are clues. Diddy always regretted the breakup. Also, the DailyMail (UK site) reported on his appearance on American Idol. He gushed about Lopez. You can find it here:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1363824/American-Idol-2011-Jennifer-Lopez-P-Diddy-reunite-show.html
I meant I agree with lovebug. Also, I can’t imagine that Affleck could even get away with the money and the loan while still married to Garner. If that got out (especially while she’s preg with #3), it would be a devastating PR mess from which he might never recover.
In retrospect I think the Z is for LopeZ and the S is for CombS.
In no way is JLo only B list by name recognition.
Is P. Diddy trying to get back with Jlo?lol
what a bunch of haters who wrote this blog. in what world is J LO b list? she is so obviously A
yeah – she just bought a huge place on Long Island.
Jennifer Lopez and P.Diddy? He’s still P.Diddy right?
Diddy does have a place in Long Island…does Affleck?
No way. Diddy’s hit hard times, I’ve heard…
Nooooo. He’s just been predicted to be the first rap mogul billionaire!
Because i think J-lo is A list i’m gonna say Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen
Denise turned down a house from Charlie. JLo looks like a good answer here.
I’m with you – Charlie and Denise. She very publicly turned down one house, I bet she quietly took another. Although it could be Brooke, but that isn’t even a blind.
Either way, its a Sheen Ex.
S-List? S=Sheen
Charlie and Brooke?
I’m now on board with this guess. Apparently Charlie also bought an $8M house in Mulholland Estates for Brooke this year, and she didn’t turn it down. I hope her sober coach permanently moves in with her.
i agree with this one
Brooke Mueller is an actress?
How about Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz?
I love Pete Wentz, but he is definitely NOT A-list…
Petra Ecclestone, or something like that.
The blonde chick who bought the Spelling mansion.
She got the money for this from Daddy. Her dad is a racing magnate or something.
No way it would be her: father is Bernie Ecclestone, President of Formula 1, 4th richest man in the UK, worth over $4.2billion. She doesn’t need some comparatively poverty-stricken A list actor’s help
Gunna have to agree.
Yes, J Lo bought an $18 Water Mill estate (thanks, Google), not far (by Hamptons standards) from P Diddy’s East Hampton pad. Is she really that broke? Or is this what one does to keep assets separate when going through an expensive divorce?
J Lo is definitely A list.
I think J Lo is A list in name recognition, but both her acting and singing pretty much suck. Her stint on Idol has really revived her career.
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen?
I’m with you coco. I think the “known for other things that make money” line refers to Denise’s supposed past with Heidi Fleiss.
Ralphie, that’s very clever!
And her reality show- I think that’s probably where most people know her from these days.
I didn’t know she had a reality show… But, I do think that based on name recognition alone, she’s probably B list. Most people know who she is when they hear her name and she’ll probably always be associated with Sheen.
Or it could be JLo and refer to her American Idol gig.
This is it. Denise and Charlie
JLo has just bought a mansion in Water Mill. Diddy’s White House is a few miles away.
Definitely denise and charlie
JLo and Ben Affleck or Diddy
Jennifer Lopez and P Diddy for the win.
Reason 1: JLo just bought an $18 million dollar house like GingerNaps said.
Reason 2: Said house is located in Water Mill like GingerNaps said (again).
Reason 3: Puff Daddy has the financial clout (as of this month, his net worth is approx. $500 million). Ben Affleck is nowhere near that.
Reason 4: B-List Actress by name recognition. Hasn’t had a bona-fide hit since 2001 (Wedding Planner). Every movie she’s made since has been disappointing commercially. No way Denise Richards is B-List ANYTHING, especially her cup size.
Reason 5: “OK, maybe that is an exaggeration. How about an S.” She played Selena, her break out role.
Nice one on the S for Selena!
ooh, i like that S guess! i was wondering about that as a clue the minute i read it. nice.
I like the “S” = SELENA!
Thanks! I knew that “S” was an important clue and you nailed it!
I’m with you completely on your reasoning for this being JLo. And she was dating PDiddy back in the day, wasn’t she, then had to give him up during the murder inquiry. Maybe they never got over their feelings for each other, despite everything since then.
FTW!!!
Think about it much!!!! lol!!!!
I don’t think JLo would be referred to an only an actress, I think of her as a singer who sometimes acts. I also don’t think she would need any help with a down payment. I think “S” list is a clue so I’m guessing Ryan and Scarlet.
Oh how I wish this was Andie MacDowell.
To have someone else recognize her Z list acting abilities would be so validating.
I’m with you.
I don’t think Lopez is B-list, nor do I think that, at this point, she’d be referred to mostly as an actress.
I like the Richards guess, especially with the snark about Z-list acting abilities.
Ha ha, her “acting” in Green Card was so bad I nearly walked out of the theater. I’ve never seen anything as bad before or since.
I didn’t see Green Card but I saw a half hour or so of Glitter with Mariah Carey. Omg. Epic Fail!
Sorry, but Jennifer Lopez is A list and she doesn’t need anyone to buy a house for her. If anything, it’d be the other way around.
Totally agree. Between her clothing, shoe and perfume lines plus American Idol and new album, she likely makes twice as much money as Ben who doesnt seem to have more than 1 or 2 projects a year.
She is in the middle of the divorce. I don’t remember where they filed, but in many states all property purchased before the final divorce decree is entered would be considered marital. It’s much easier to have a proxy. As usual, it’s not the facts that matter, it’s the spin.
I agree cocobeanns! No way is she Blist or Zlist anything. Also, JLO is just as well known for her music, if this were her wouldn’t it say entertainer?
Also… Marc Anthony had big IRS debt right? Isn’t that why she took AI to begin with? Between that and the divorce she might think having someone buy her a house is a great idea. Then again, no way J Lo is not A list!!
How about Elisabetta Canalis? She is an actress in Italy, as well as model and presenter ( not sure how good, or bad she is)? Clooney is definitely A list and this could have been a ‘pay off’ of sorts to stop her selling any stories. In the US her name recognition is pretty big after dating Clooney for so long and just having done Dancing with the Stars.
I’m pretty sure George is known to do such things. But is Elisa-what’shername a B list star?
How about Leighton Meester? The Z and S might be a clue for her role on Gossip Girl, and she is getting some recognition for singing?
First time poster, longtime fan of the site
Also she just bought a house in LA
Welcome, Kim! Love, BG
Leighton Meester? She just got a huge new house in Los Angelos. I don’t know who the ex is but the ‘S’ could be for Gossip Girl since they always call each other ‘B’ and ‘S’.
Jennifer Lopez. She just purchased a home in the Hamptons! P. Diddy is the ex.
Also, P. Diddy (aka Sean Combs) has a home in the Hamptons.
Leighton Meester just got a new place.
I don’t think it’s J.LO.
The best guess so far is Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen
Yes, didn’t he just settle with CBS for $21mil?
Agree. B? list……. maybe, she certainly gets plenty of publicity !!
I don’t think it’s Leighton…is she that bad of an actress? I think she’s better than Blake.. And who would her ex be?
Jennifer Lopez really A list? She was dropped by her record label and hasnt had a big hit or good review for a movie in years.
JLO has AI money … she doesn’t need a guarantor or help with a down payment lol!
sorry, that wasn’t meant to be a reply to you booby.. heh
true. but, she is currently going through a divorce. Until it’s final, isn’t it possible that she might want to keep this asset from winding up in the community property pot? In all likelihood, it was really “her” money that the “friend” used as a down payment, she just wants/needs to obfuscate the fact.
you really have no idea how much money she has vs. how much she owes (or he owes – who knows what the deal is for Marc), and assets can be pretty much tied up in a messy divorce, especially if you weren’t smart on handling them at the outset. her divorce from chris judd was probably pretty expensive too. and marc anthony has had bebies and baby mamas to support. there was an item just a little while before the new AI judges were announced suggesting she took the job for financial reasons. Oh and she might be an a-list celebrity, but she’s a B list in terms of name recognition as an actress.
Apparently Marc Anthony is in a financial mess, owing back taxes, etc., so that could contribute to JLo needing to get money from an ex.
i’m thinking blake lively since she’s a and a fame but not sure what ex would be doing this for her….like that guy from the notebook? eh… but hope not b/c she’s so …lol.
and blake is def a z list actor in terms of talent…..lol.
Diddy and JHo..
Diddy did this as a gift, in 2011, Diddy was touted as the richest in Hip Hop and Jay Z was second.
Diddy has been trying to get into JHo’s good graces for weeks now and he foolishly tweeted a few things too.
If you beleive that JHo being single, and rich, she is gonna use her money, you can forget it…that house is not far from his AT ALL.
he’s such a fool, this would not be the first mansion he has bought for a female.
The blind did not say, she was broke, it said her EX put up everything for the house, (he is just glad to be in her presence) I think it was a smart slick move. She can leave, and not be tied to it.
JMO-she can’t act her way out of a paper bag and she has not had a hit movie in a bunch of yrs.
Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour? I’d say he’s A-list something. He recently stated he gives money to exes so they can still enjoy the lifestyle they had with him.
I think Simon is a great guess. I think he just bought his “ex” fiance Mezhgan a house.
I do like the Charlie and Denise guess, too.
I doubt it’s JLo.. If the pic of the house is a clue then it looks more like a west coast mansion.. If you look closely in windows(top round ones) it looks like there are images of people.. Weird! I have no clue but does not seem like JLo !
It’s probably LILO!
It has to be Denise and Charlie. Lots of rumors about her moving in next to him.
1 of Hef’s ex gal pals…but poor Hef is so delusional it could be all of his ex gals
Hef and Holly? But she’s not an actress.
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen (altho I dispute that he’s A-list… he’s just an A-hole). There’s been talk for a while that he was shopping for a house for Denise near his so that he could see more of his daughters.
This is so Denise Richards. She is a terrible actress. And Charlie Sheen is totally A List.
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen. Isn’t this common knowledge already?
Okay, I think I just found it: I think that it is Naomi Campbell. The boyfriend is Vladislav Doronin. Heres the house too.
http://thevileplutocrat.com/bile/articles/naomi-campbells-horus-home/
By the way, I would live in that house.
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen
Wow. I am shocked by this, and I don’t know why! You would think with all the money she has… BUT, smart move by having someone else by it as not to have to split the assets with Anthony.
I was surprised when I read it too. But I guess not really when you think about it, financially, divorces get so messy.
I don’t consider JLo an actress first…a singer, yes, but actress?
