Madonna's $40M London Style Townhouse In Manhattan

Although her adoption of Mercy James may not be going so well, Madonna still has something to smile about: a $40M townhouse in Manhattan's Upper East Side with 36 rooms, 9 fireplaces, and a London-ish vibe, so she won't get homesick.

“The townhouse is perfect for Madonna,” a source told the paper. “She’s trying to recreate London in New York City, and this is in the style of a London townhouse.”

According to a broker, no other property in the area has ever sold for more than $20 million... until now. It's not clear whether Madonna's desire for a new home had anything at all to do with her plans for adopting Mercy James, or not. The timing could be coincidental.

Either way, Madonna's three kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, will no doubt have a pretty awesome crib on the Upper East Side. Aside from it being humongous and luxurious, the place reportedly has a pretty lively atmosphere. As in, you can actually feel the subway trains rattling the floor in some rooms.

Rescue Me: Tatum O'Neal Arrested For Crack

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:15:00 GMT

Academy Award winning actress Tatum O'Neal was arrested Sunday evening for buying crack cocaine near her home in Manhattan.

O'Neal, who is currently starring in the FX drama Rescue Me, was busted after she was seen handing money to a street dealer. When police searched her they found two bags of drugs - one with crack, one with regular cocaine - and an unused crack pipe.

The Daily News quotes a source as saying the actress initially told police that she "was doing research for a part," but changed her story after the drugs were found. "I've been clean for a long time," she reportedly pleaded as she asked cops to give her a break, the source said. "Today was the first time I was relapsing, but you guys saved me! Can you let me go?"

O'Neal's arrest comes after a public warning she issued to Britney Spears last year, in which she urged the singer to get help and to keep her children out of the media spotlight. O'Neal's previous drug use led to her losing custody of her three children to ex-husband John McEnroe back in 1995.

"I did everything that she doesn't want to do," O'Neal said in her statement regarding Spears. "I did the drug testing ... It was very humbling, but I wanted those kids back."

"Not being able to see my kids is like part of me is missing," she continued. "Part of my soul is missing."
