If you’re a Jack Nicholson fan and have nearly $500,000 to blow, you might want to buy his Neptune, N.J., childhood home. The 2,500-square foot home, located at 1410 Sixth Ave., was built in 1926, has five bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The starting bid is $449,000 and as of late Monday afternoon no bids had been placed. The bidding closes Nov. 18. The eBay posting claim, “according to the locals, Jack would wait eagerly every Saturday morning on the front steps for the first neighbor headed to the local movie theater and the afternoon matinee.” Near the Jersey shore, the home is just a few miles south of Asbury Park, Bruce Springsteen’s old stomping grounds.
You can bet residents at 2 Fifth Ave. in New York City are not Will Smith fans. The actor’s vampire film was shooting recently at the building, and according to the New York Daily News, co-op president Adelaide Polsinelli got fed up with the “aggressive” film crew that kept the building flooded with light until 11:30 p.m. “It ended when I called the police and threatened to go down there and hurt someone,” she said. Playwright Larry Kramer, a building resident, was asked by the film crew to park his car around the corner while former Mayor Ed Koch’s car was allowed through the barricade.
Brad Pitt doesn’t want his adopted son Maddox to follow in his acting footsteps. Pitt told French magazine Cine Tele Revue: “I would like to see Maddox as an engineer or architect, but right now he seems more interested in T-ball.” Pitt has become a recent “architectural junkie,” he admitted to the Toronto Star. The actor even helped start a contest to create eco-friendly housing in New Orleans.
