Reese Witherspoon's lavish estate up for grabs

<p>Oscar-winning actress, producer and media mogul Reese Witherspoon officially listed her Brentwood estate in LA, tentatively popping it on the market with a $34 million (US$25m) price tag.</p> <p>Thanks to the sizzling market and a bunch of modern updates Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth made to the residence, the pair have added a hefty $12 million (US$9m) to the original $22 million (US$16m) they paid just two years ago.</p> <p>It seems Witherspoon is testing the market, with the listing only providing a small handful of photos. It notes that additional photos, including the property website, are available upon request to "qualified buyers".</p> <p>Located in the wild of Brentwood's Mandeville Canyon, the Country English Traditional mansion sits behind big gates, ancient trees and a long, winding driveway. The entire place is completely private to the public and feels a world away.</p> <p>While Witherspoon and Toth left the overall style of the home much the same, there have been some pricey contemporary upgrades, including custom-designed finishes and woodwork, that enhance its character appeal to modern buyers.</p> <p>Think a fresh white exterior; steel and brass handrails and updated timber on the grand staircase in the two-storey black and white marble and limestone foyer; new white oak hardwood floors; and a fitness room with sauna.</p> <p>The kitchen, complete with butler's pantry and breakfast room, has been re-done, ditto the now-blue hued library.</p> <p>The new owners will also enjoy use of a separate upstairs "owner's wing" with lavish dual bathrooms and dual boutique walk-in closets, plus an additional office or nursery.</p> <p>Set on just over 3 verdant acres, the seven-bedroom 10-bathroom charmer includes 10 French doors opening to a rolling front lawn and a sweeping back lawn with breathtaking canyon views and gardens.</p> <p><em>Images: Domain </em></p>

I needed you all to know.”</p> <p>Witherspoon took to Instagram to pay tribute to Shelton.</p> <p>“I’m in complete shock that this vibrant, talented, and soulful filmmaker is no longer with us,” she wrote. “Lynn was so passionate about our show,<span> </span><em>Little Fires Everywhere</em>. She said the book truly spoke to her, and that she longed to direct a show that spoke meaningfully about motherhood, sexuality, race, and class in America. And she did.”</p> <p>The actress said that Shelton “cared deeply about the whole cast and crew” and was always willing to share her life with the world.</p> <p>“Her love of her son, how motherhood changed her life, her life changing decisions that made her the woman she was,” Witherspoon continued.</p> <p>“Her spirit touched so many people in the filmmaking world. Her memory lives on in our vivid days together on set and in her wonderful films. Please watch her work and see her talent for yourself.”</p> <p>Shelton is survived by her son, Milo Seal, husband of many years Kevin Seal, her parents, two brothers, one sister and partner Marc Maron, with whom she spent the last year of her life.</p>

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughters set to make big acting debut

<p>Nicole Kidman has dished on what could become a family tradition. On talk show <em>Ellen</em>, she let slip that her daughters, 10-year-old Sunday Rose and seven-year-old Faith Margaret, are about to make their huge acting debut.</p> <p>But it’s not on the big budget comic book adaptation <em>Aquaman</em> in which the Hollywood star plays the titular superhero’s mother Queen Atlanna. It's on the hugely successful second season of <em>Big Little Lies</em>.</p> <p><span>Season one was based on Liane Moriarty’s best-selling novel of the same name, with the author returning to pen the script for season two.</span></p> <p>Visiting the set, the 51-year-old’s two daughters with her country music star husband Keith Urban, 50, ended up in front of the cameras for a cameo.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 500px; height: 482.4074074074074px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821718/nic-and-keith-kids.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/8939376e08c24990967576e4e9ec9725" /></p> <p>“They were in as extras in <em>Big Little Lies</em>, which I’ve never told anyone,” Kidman told host Ellen DeGeneres, reports <a rel="noopener" href="https://people.com/parents/nicole-kidman-daughters-will-cameo-cameo-big-little-lies-season-2/" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a>. “There I am being a big mouth.”</p> <p>While DeGeneres pushed the high-profile star, who also co-produces the show alongside fellow Hollywood heavyweight and co-star Reese Witherspoon, to reveal some details about the show, Kidman stayed mum.</p> <p>“Who do you worry about? Who has the big mouth?” she asked the Academy Award winner when it came to the leaking of plot secrets for <em>Big Little Lies</em> season 2.</p> <p>When DeGeneres joked it was Witherspoon, her co-star laughed, saying, <span>“No [it’s] probably the two of us that have a bit of a big mouth, so we have to watch it.”</span></p> <p>But DeGeneres wouldn’t let up, jesting that Witherspoon had told her the plot-line for the entire coming season.</p> <p>“I’ve told my husband the entire plot, but you’re allowed to do that,” said Kidman.</p> <p>She did reveal, however, Meryl Streep’s reaction when she was asked to join the second season of <em>Big Little Lies</em> (the acclaimed actress plays Kidman’s mother-in-law).</p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821719/big-little-lies.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/1a806671d03f480e8efb865641fc8a59" /></p> <p>"She was like, 'I want to be in the coven,” recalled the Aussie actress. “Which I thought was funny.”</p> <p>Yet Kidman mused that the acclaimed TV series wasn’t what gave her credibility in the eyes of her daughters, but rather being in a big blockbuster like <em>Aquaman</em>.</p> <p><span>Have you watched or read </span><em>Big Little Lies</em><span>?
