Shakira House in Miami

Grammy Award Winning Shakira Isabel mebarak Ripoll was born on a wednesday, february 2, 1977, the youngest of 8 siblings, in the Clinica Asuncion de Barranquilla (Colombia). With her Lebanese father William Mebarak and Colombian mother Nidia Ripoll Torrado, Shakira honors her Latino and Arabic heritage in her music.

Shakira had considered Karime and Katiuska but finally chose Shakira, an arabic name derived from the word "Shukram which means "Grace" the most literal translation is "woman full of Grace" , even though Shakira has said she identifies more with its second meaning, "Grateful."

Did you know that Shakira knew the Alphabet by the age of 18 months, at 3 years old she knew how to read, and by the time she was 4 years old, she was ready for school.

"Technology scares me. We live in a surrounded battalion of sounds, engaged in ostentatious displays of new recording techniques. But, to me, the fundamental essence of a song lies in the melody and the lyrics."

In 2002 she ranked 9th in stuff magazine's as "102 Sexiest Women in the World", and in 2006 she ranked 20th in FHM magazine's as "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006".

While hugely popular in the world, Shakira had not yet achieved a major record on the U.S. pop charts. She moved to Miami with her family to further her goal, and taught herself to write songs in English. She enlisted Emilio Estefan, of Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine fame, to act as her manager and producer.

Her first English language album, Laundry Service in 2001, provided Shakira with the success in the United States that she ever wanted to, the album was No. 3 on the charts, selling more than 200,000 copies in the first week. The songs "Whenever Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes" were both big hits.

Shakira's house in Miami sits on 6,500-square-foot that cost her for $3.38 million last 2001, the Mediterranean-style real estate has 5 bedrooms, 6 1/2 bathrooms, a pool and a dock.

The house is located in an exclusive area of Miami Beach and presents enchanting views of Biscayne Bay.

Miami Beach hosts numerous celebs, such as Lenny Kravitz, Ricky Martin, Sean “P Diddy” Combs, Rosie O’Donnell, Matt Damon, and Gloria Estefan.

"But Rob understood that it wasn't a frivolous role."

You already know a little bit about the main star of the Twilight Saga, now let me take you to there love nest in Los Angeles.

Robert Pattinson rented this place before he started filming Water for Elephants, but it's not his main hideout with Kristen Stewart.

Lady Gaga's House in Bel Air


Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta or well known as Lady Gaga was born on March 20th 1986. She is an American singer, songwriter and musician. Gaga was born in Yokers, New York but grew up in Mahattan. She got her stage name when music producer Rob Fusari compared her vocal style to Freddie Mercury and took the name Gaga from the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga".

"I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I'm a ham today," says Lady GaGa.

Her album "Born This Way" (2011) sold over 1 million copies in the first week. Amazon sold 440,000 copies of the album in its first two days at a price of 99 cents (at a loss of over $3 million). This contributed to the album's 662,000 digital sales. However, in the second week the album experienced an 84% sales decrease and a 94% digital sales drop. In it's third week the album had a 42% sales decrease and, in the fourth week sales of of the album decreased by another 33%.

Lady Gaga is already a VMA icon. Since she first made her VMA debut in 2009, she has become a force to be reckoned with. She annually makes headlines for her fierce sense of style, her fierce sense of self and the fact that she's always willing to do the unexpected. That combination has made her a fan favorite. And, she said those qualities are an extension of her as a celebrity.

Gaga is nominated for Best Female Video and Best Video With a Message for "Born This Way," as well as Best Art Direction and Best Choreography for "Judas." in 2011.

"I think something that's always been very important to me ... is that the fame as an art form has always been an interesting stage,".

Lady Gaga's house in Bel Air is quite a suprised, no bloody piano, no closets stuffed with bizarre couture, no ensemble of vinyl-clad back-up dancers, just neatly manicured lawns and your typical McMansion artsy lighting and Jacuzzi tub.

Lady Gaga leased this 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom Mediterranean estate in October of 2009. According to listing information the high-walled and gated residence, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, has 6,143 square feet of interior living space. Amenities include a double height entry with marble floors and a curving staircase, french doors throughout, an office/ library that opens to the pool terrace with outdoor kitchen. The hillside property has a resort-style swimming pool and spa with a terrace that hangs over a canyon with unobstructed panoramic views of the city.







Justin Bieber House a Luxury Modern Home Design


Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop-R&B singer. He was born on March 1, 1994 in London, Ontario and was raised in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

It seems like Justin Bieber's fame and success happened overnight,but the truth is Justin has been working toward stardom for years.

After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.

"I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them," he says. "But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. That's how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I'm signed!"

In 2008, after seven months Justin Bieber posted his video online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun discovered him, who happened later to became his manager.

Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid.
Bieber has been nominated and awarded numerous accolades over the past few years, winning Artist of the Year at the 2010 American Music Awards, and being nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards, among others. Bieber is considered a teen idol, and has been subject to acclaim from fans, as well as criticism and controversy from matters concerning his popularity and image.

Just what does Justin Bieber's house look like from the inside? What home interior decor style will he have when he has a place of his own?

These are questions millions of Bieber fans around the world are asking every day and it's one you will want to know too. As one would expect with a teen singing sensation, access to his home has been restricted but that doesn't stop us from guessing and imagining the perfect decorative accessories that would fit into Justin Bieber's bedroom or future living room.

Justin's living room of the future is going to be a relaxed setting where friends drop round at a moment's notice. He'll want a lot of space so as to practice his guitar and maybe sing with those who visit. Comfortable sofas are definitely a priority and they'll most likely be white to reflect a modern feel and to embrace natural daylight entering the room.

The L-shaped sofa allows for an intimate and cosy atmosphere with friends and family. A large flat screen TV provides extra entertainment for Bieber to watch his favorite TV guilty pleasure which is 'Smallville'. With a girlfriend, he'll also be able to watch his secret movie favorite, "The NoteBook". Then when the company is all male, the group can watch Chuck Norris take on the bad guys, which is another of Bieber's favorite TV series.

Justin Bieber bedroom real estate looked comfortable with large rooms and a combination of bright colors and dark colors.

Rooms spacious kitchen that also serves as a dining room and colorful will make meal times more interesting and not boring. In the bathroom there was a wall with a darker color to provide a kind of framework for interior decoration in general. Now, let’s see more pictures of Justin Bieber Luxury Modern Home Design below and hope you are inspired.
