Guess the Celebrity Home -- Hint: It's As Unusual As Her Hair

Take a look at the photo and read through the clues. Can you figure out which celebrity lives here?


After a very public scandal, what stylicious R&B singing sensation spent part of 2009 holed up and hiding out in a rented and very privately situated house in the Hollywood Hills? Here, she retreated into a Crayon box colorful kitchen with rosewood cabinetry, orange painted walls and kelly green glass counter tops.

Hints:

1. The foreign born female has already chalked up 13 top 10 hits.

2. This good girl gone bad went from being a teen queen in demure pastel outfits to a couture clad diva known for her fashion forward and sometimes bizarre clothing choices.

3. She was featured in advertisements for Gucci wearing little more than a white body stocking and a big purse.

4. She will soon launch her own signature fragrance called Route 22.

5. She has a dozen or more tattoos, at least one of which she took some serious heat in the press about.


ANSWER: Rihanna

Rihanna -- whose real name is Robyn Fenty -- leased a three story house in the Hollywood Hills prior to her unfortunate blow up with now former boyfriend Chris Brown. The singer, who at the time was and still is hounded by paparazzi, was often able to come and go unnoticed by the camera snappers due to the fact the house has garages on two different streets, both of which are very narrow and very windy. It made it almost impossible for photographers to loiter around waiting for the perfect pictures of "RiRi" getting into or out of her car.

Blond hardwood floors flow throughout the main floor of the 4,500+-square-foot contemporary residence where the large living and dining rooms are divided by a freestanding fireplace. Both rooms open through sliding glass doors to a huge, stone-tiled terrace with wrap around views from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. The colorful kitchen, fully equipped with high grade stainless steel appliances, opens to the family room that gives way to the small back yard.

Altogether Rihanna's former rental has 4 bedrooms and 4 full and 2 half bathrooms. The master suite, well situated on the top floor to take advantage of city views, includes a private sitting room, wet bar, fireplace, walk-in closet, steam shower and a spa tub. The lowest level, a windowless, basement like space, is fitted and kitted out as a home theater. Tucked up into the hillside behind the house is a small yard with a plunge pool, spa and built-in fire pit.

During the summer of 2009, there were rampant rumors RiRi was hunting for a house of her own and, sure enough, property records show the beautiful Barbadian recently dumped $6.9 million on a gigantic, 10,000-square-foot very contemporary on a private promontory in Beverly Hills that includes a living room with a 30-foot ceiling, home theater, 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. That's a lot of house for a single lady.
