Celebrity Real Estate Wrap: Bjork Denied on Baxter, Trump Hard, Britney Back?

2007_11_bjork.jpg1) Holy Hester Street! Bjork and Matthew Barney almost nabbed the penthouse at the Machinery Exchange, but then some anonymous person who'd better be even more artistic and famous and rich beat them to it! Little Chitaly, you almost made it! But what of Bjork's big black boat? [NYM/S. Jhoanna Robledo]

2) Martin Scorsese has upgraded on the Upper East Side. He sold his longtime home on East 62nd Street a little while back for just over $6 million, and now he's moving to a 7,000-square-foot 1920s townhouse on East 64th Street, for which he paid $12.5 million. That should provide plenty of room for his eyebrows to really spread out. [Braden Keil/Gimme Shelter]

3) We're betting that once Eugenia Kaye ousted Donald Trump Jr. from the board of Trump Place at 220 Riverside Boulevard, life wasn't made very pleasant for her. So she sold her 2,318-square-foot condo for $4.26 million to ... Bruce Willis! We know that Willis enjoys a Trump building or two, because he did own a massive Trump Tower duplex. Said Papa Trump about Kaye: "I feel sorry for the people in the building she’s going to." What a classy guy! [Manhattan Transfers/Max Abelson]

4) After the epic Silk Buildng debacle, can the city's real estate market handle another Britney Spears daliance? And in the West Village, no less? Andrew Berman is already organizing the picket line. [Keil]

Celebrity Real Estate Wrap: Plaza Gives Up its Models

1) She came, she designed, they sold. The Donatella Versace "black" and "white" model apartments have been snapped up, reports New York's S. Jho Ro. The price tags were $6.9 million and $12.5 million, Versace decor not included. [Intelligencer]

2) A while back you found out that Martin Scorsese's East 62nd Street townhouse, complete with "gentleman's dressing room," sold. Now the details get filled in. It went for $6.15 million, which was below the $6.7 million asking price, and the buyer is a shy Credit Suisse finance dude. [Max Abelson/Manhattan Transfers]

3) When a man who cuts hair for a living buys a $2 million Manhattan pied-a-terre, it really makes us question some life decisions. But when that man is the mysterious Oribe, hairstylist to the biggest of stars, and the building is the kinda blah Grand Madison, we're OK with it. [Braden Keil/Gimme Shelter]

4) Those fixtures of the Celeb Wrap column, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, make it back onto the homepage via word that the couple has rented a $20,000/month Amagansett for their employees. These are the workers that tend to the Great Wall. [S. Jhoanna Robledo/NYMag])
