She'll be Minnie Mouse! Tamara Ecclestone 'eyeing up Walt Disney's former mansion' and it's a bargain at $99million

She already has a lavish nine-bedroom Bel Air home, but it seems that Tamara Ecclestone is looking to expand her property portfolio and is said to have set her sights on Walt Disney's former mansion.
The 28-year-old heiress spent over an hour at the 35,000 square foot pile in Holmby Hills on Monday, TMZ reports.
The property which is listed at $99million (£65m) boasts eight bedrooms and 17 bathrooms and is more expensive than her sister's home which came with an eye-watering $85million price tag.
Is this Tamara's new pile? Miss Ecclestone is said to have viewed Walt Disney's former mansion earlier this week

A spokesperson for Tamara declined to comment on the reports.
The huge home of the legendary Walt Disney is being sold by realtor Mauricio Umansky, Kyle Richards' husband.
The property is not far from the residence where Michael Jackson died.

The home was built in 2001 and sits in 4 acres, boasting a wine cellar, pool house, tennis court and a putting green.
There is also a custom movie room, three bars, library, gym, and two safe rooms, according to the particulars.
Should Tamara want live-in help the home also has staff quarters.
Tamara may well be on the hunt for a larger property given that she is now preparing to wed businessman Jay Rutland, following a whirlwind romance.

The brunette is certainly building quite the property portfolio - she also has a £45million home in Kensington Palace Gardens – London's 'billionaires' row'.
On Monday night Tamara and Jay paid a visit to the Fig and Olive restaurant in Los Angeles for a dinner date and the pair showed off their recently acquired tans.
Tamara was out flaunting her bronzed complexion again on Wednesday in a neon vest and tight black workout trousers for lunch with friends.

NeNe Leakes is currently interviewing designers before deciding on what dress she will wear at her summer wedding

She is known for her big personality and statuesque figure on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.
But NeNe Leakes is planning on downsizing in time for her summer wedding.
The reality star-turned-actress has revealed that she wants to lose 10lbs by the time she remarries her ex-husband Gregg Leakes - but insists she won’t resort to drastic measures.
Big plans: NeNe Leakes is currently interviewing designers before deciding on what dress she will wear at her summer wedding

She told the new issue of In Touch magazine: ‘I will try to lose 10 pounds, but I don’t want to be a skinny-ass bride – I wanna be curvy!’
 


The 45-year-old split from her beau, 58, in 2010 and the couple – who have a 14-year-old son named Brentt together – were officially divorced in 2011.
He proposed to her on New Year’s Eve in Miami, Florida and she confirmed they were planning on walking up the aisle again on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in January.
Second time around: NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes will be getting married again this summer

NeNe explained about the special moment: ‘We were with our son – Gregg somehow got him out of the condo and had a big heart made of Hershey’s Kisses on the bed. It was sweet! I said yes right away.’
The outspoken TV personality has already begun plans for the ceremony and wants her nine-month-old granddaughter – from her 23-year-old son Bryson, who she had in a previous relationship – to feature.
She joked: ‘We are going to have a big fantasy wedding, probably in Atlanta this summer. My granddaughter Bri’asia will be there. She can’t walk yet but we’ll pull her down the aisle!’

NeNe revealed that she hasn’t picked the dress yet but is ‘still interviewing designers. They’re sending me sketches.’
To celebrate rediscovering happiness in her love life she is even willing to bury the hatchet with arch rival and ex-RHOA star Kim Zolciak.

Maria Menounos was still flaunting a diamond sparkler on her engagement finger as she took a break from hosting Extra! on Wednesday at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles, Califnornia

There's definitely no stopping the rumours now.
Maria Menounos is still wearing a diamond-covered band on her engagement finger, only continuing to stir speculation that she's ready to tie the knot with her longtime love Keven Undergaro.

The TV personalty appeared to be exploding with excitement as she was snapped at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday.

After getting a quick lift, the Extra! host took a break break from filming her entertainment programme.
Keeping her cell phone at hand to stay accessible, Maria took a quick stroll by herself.
Though her hair was neatly styled in loose curls and she had on a full face of makeup, the 34-year-old dressed down for the lovely spring day.

As she waved her left hand in the air, it was apparent that the Boston native was still rocking the same questionable ring that she was seen with before.
Maria's been dating her producer boyfriend for nearly fifteen years, so it would make sense for the twosome to take their relationship to the next level.
She first revealed the ring last week, as she was snapped blatantly positioning her fingers in such a way as to highlight the sparkling diamonds on her polished fingers.
The brunette beauty is currently working on a new film project with Keven titled Adventures of Serial Buddies.
And the former Dancing With The Stars contestant will start filming a reality show about her life next month for the OXYGEN network.
Maria recently revealed that the question of marriage will be a focus of the show.
'The whole marriage-and-kids topic is definitely a big part of the show because Keven and I will have been together 15 years this April, and we’re not married and we don’t have kids,' she told Boston Magazine.

'The cameras will definitely be at Extra! tapings to take a look behind the scenes,' Maria stated. 'That’s obviously super interesting, too.'

Sister act! Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams steal the show in stylish ensembles at exhibition launch



When the going gets tough, the tough get fashionable.
Eva Mendes had a busy night of promoting her new film on Wednesday, but that did not stop the stunner from looking great in three very different looks.
The 39-year-old not only changed three times for appearances around New York, but managed to cover three fashion periods in vintage looks.
Scroll down for video...
Where's the farm? Eve Mendes went for a country inspired look for her appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart in New York on WednesdayWhere's the farm? Eve Mendes went for a country inspired look for her appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart in New York on Wednesday
Eva started her day in a style that would have fit in during the turn of last century.
New York may be a long way from the farm, but that did not stop Eva Mendes looking like a very fashionable lady on the prairie.
The 39-year-old stepped out in New York in a western-inspired Broderie Anglaise ensemble as she head to an appearance on the Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
Eva ignored New York's cold and embraced spring in the off white ruffled full length dress.

The vintage dress featured short sleeves to show off the actress' toned arms and had a high neck, adding to its classic county feel.
The Hitch star added a pair of her favourite brown ankle boots and held on to a pink coat, which fortunately she decided against wearing so not to ruin her country style outfit.
While her dress had the feel of being from another era, the 39-year-old added a modern edge wearing tortoiseshell sunglasses and her golden brown hair out and flowing.

Fans packed the space in front of the studio hoping to catch a glimpse of the star as she headed in to speak to Jon Stewart.
For filming the star changed out of her country look into a 1960s shift dress.
Looking glamorous and as of she was about to step on to the set of Mad Men, Eva showed off her curves in the pastel pink knee length embroidered frock.

The star then went from swinging Sixties to Studio 54 ready in a Seventies-esque jumpsuit.
The low cut olive green and black leopard onesie turned Eva's look around from sweet and feminine to sexy and ready to party.
Donning her brown boots again, the 39-year-old wore the ensemble to a private screening of her new film A Place Beyond The Pines, at the Museum of Modern Art - the same film that she appeared on the talk show to discuss.

The movie - which is in cinemas March 29 - of course is more than just a film for the star, it is where she fell in love with current boyfriend Ryan Gosling.
The pair play onscreen lovers - Ryan is a stunt bike rider who comes home to find his fling, played by Eva, has had their child - but sparks flew off screen when they filmed the violent crime drama in 2011.
No wonder Eva has dubbed the independent film her 'passion project'.

Eva told Fox 411: 'You have a lot of obstacles.'
'The money people making the film put up a big fight because it's different and it’s ambitious and it's raw, and so I would like people to know that a lot of hard work went into actually even getting this going.'
Besides her 32-year-old boyfriend, the film also stars Silver Linings Playbook leading man Bradley Cooper as the cop on Ryan's character's tail after he turns to robbing banks to support his child, Goodfella's Ray Liotta and Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn.

The secret life of your pet revealed: Owner develops 'cat nav' device which tracks wandering felines' progress by mapping it on Google


Ever wondered what Tiddles gets up to once he’s disappeared through the cat flap?
Now you can find out, thanks to a tracking device fitted to his collar.
The device tracks the every move of pets and maps it on Google. Father-of-two Dave Evans came up with the idea because his own silver tabby Yollo was mysteriously disappearing and putting on weight each day.

He developed an ultra-light GPS which fixes to the pet’s collar and records where it has been.
When the animal returns home the information is downloaded via a USB cable direct to a website which reveals its secret life on Google Earth satellite images.
Mr Evans, 41, said the weatherproof tracker, weighing just 15g, will cost £50 and can be used for cats and dogs.
 

He said: 'My cat was getting fat even though I was feeding him less and I needed to know what was going on.
'Now I know he travels a couple of miles each day, exactly where he goes every night and who’s feeding him.

'I know he also enjoys chasing chickens at 6am every morning and can see his favourite hangouts.
'The tracker will provide answers for other cat users if Tiddles is playing away or simply show where they go when they’re out on the tiles.'
Mr Evans, of Marlborough, Wiltshire, added: 'It can equally be used for dogs, for example to show how much exercise they are getting.
'For dog owners who pay for "professional walkers" it will record exactly how far and fast their dog is travelling and show if they are getting value for money.'
Mr Evans is also developing a social networking site for pets to accompany his ‘G-Paws’ device which will be available in the summer.
He said: 'It will enable users to see where their pets have been wandering on Google Earth as well as share photos, videos and other information on their pets.

'For too long we have been kept in the dark about the secret lives of our pets.
'At last we will know what they get up to, what "second homes" they have, how far they travel and where their favourite hang-outs are.'
Mr Evans, who has a background in sat nav marketing, is using a Chinese developer to manufacture his own device.
Other GPS devices for animals provide real-time information via SIM cards but are a lot more expensive at around £200 and too heavy for smaller pets.

Natasha Hamilton has revealed Atomic Kitten are working on new material and are currently recording their comeback single

They've enjoyed somewhat of a comeback thanks to being part of TV show The Big Reunion and are preparing to set off on a tour with their fellow reformed bands.
And it seems the series has done the world of good for Atomic Kitten, as Natasha Hamilton has now revealed they're recording their new album and are in the midst of recording their 'comeback single'.
The singer revealed to the MailOnline that they're even in the middle of setting in stone a recording contract.

When asked what their plans are for when The Big Reunion tour ends, Natasha said: 'We're definitely, definitely concentrating on the band. We've already got a record deal underway.'
She then added to the MailOnline: 'We are writing songs for our new album as well.'
Her interview comes as she also revealed on Twitter that she spent her Wednesday morning recording what they think could be their new comeback single.
The 30-year-old wrote: 'I'm off the studio to vocal @AtomicKOfficial potential come-back single!! Could today get anymore freakin' exciting!'
The comment caused lots of messages from lots of followers, to which she responded revealing they had plenty of material: 'Well, we have that many to choose from!;).'
 
As they were: On The Big Reunion they've been singing their old hits but Natasha has now revealed they have plenty of new songs they'll be bringing outAs they were: On The Big Reunion they've been singing their old hits but Natasha has now revealed they have plenty of new songs they'll be bringing out
And it seems performing back on stage has given the singer the taste for continuing her pop career once more.
She said of the tour, which kicks off in May: 'Can not wait, it's quite intense though. It's every night for two and a half weeks.
'We're going to have to be well behaved. We won't be able to go to the bar, we'll have to rest our voices!
'We've had the best time. I'm not going to lie, going into it I was nervous because I thought what if we don't have the chemistry that we had when we were kids? But literally the first day back to work together was back to business and we all slotted back into our old funny ways... Loud and hyperactive.'
Natasha added: 'I mean, I just love working, working defines me. I love being a mum and being at home with my kids but I feel really inspired when I'm working and being on stage performing, doing what I love doing.'

This week it was revealed that Atomic Kitten and the rest of the Big Reunion bands will also take part in the Big Reunion Christmas tour in December.
Natasha was speaking to the MailOnline as part of her bid to raise awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Hamilton is helping to support Macmillan’s new fundraising event, 'A Really Good Night In', which will take place nationally on the evening of Friday 26 April.
Cancer has affected Natasha’s family ever since she can remember - her nannies, aunts, uncles, both mother and father-in-law have all been diagnosed with or died from cancer.
 
They're back: Hamilton revealed they'll still be concentrating on the band once the Big Reunion tour wraps upThey're back: Hamilton revealed they'll still be concentrating on the band once the Big Reunion tour wraps up
And so she wants to do everything she can to raise funds and awareness to help beat cancer, including holding her own Really Good Night In with her friends.
She told the MailOnline about the campaign: 'Well, it's all about having a really good night in. We want everybody to get all your friends and their family around, either have a dinner party or a girlie pamper night or a poker night - or anything that just gets you to interact with your friends. And charge on the door or put a donation in the pot. It's just a new fun way of bringing awareness.
'As a young child my grandmother had throat cancer so that was many years of tough times.
'We have to be really careful, we have to have more checks. One in three people will end up with some form of cancer, it's a lot of people. And we need awareness and that's what Macmillan gives.'
 
New tunes: Natasha has admitted she's been thrilled with the response and getting back on stageNew tunes: Natasha has admitted she's been thrilled with the response and getting back on stage
Speaking of her own Really Good Night In, she added: 'I'm going to have a dinner party. I'm going to cook a dinner, I've got my meal planned already, mozzarella and dried tomatoes and I'm going to have champagne and nice pedicures and manicures.
'I've been so busy with the girls and working so it will be a nice night for us all. It's just close family and friends this time. I wish I could invite my Big Reunion family but we all live miles away from each other. We should do another night and get them to donate as well.
The event focuses on close friendships and could include a variety of themes from a girly pamper night; a chance to get crafty and swap skills or simply drinks and nibbles, to help make sure no one goes through cancer alone.
