We've seen many extravagant celeb homes in the past, but this one is definitely in the top ranks. Recognized for shiny rhinestone-studded skull designs, fashion designer Philipp Plein, owns clothing brands Philipp Plein, Plein Sport, and Billionaire brand. The designer has been working on his 3.6 acres of land since he purchased it in 2014. In an Instagram post, he writes that the land in Bel Air was previously owned by the late billionaire, Howard Hughes.
In 2014, when Plein purchased the 3.6 acres of land in Bel Air, he intended to create his own house from scratch. With a guest house and a long winding drive way, the mansion, which he named Chateau Falcon View, is expected to be fully finished in 2021. The final mansion is said to be worth $200 million.
In Plein's latest Instagram update for the home, he writes about how his creation of the mansion was a dream of his for a long time. He then explains how the land was previously owned by Howard Hughes. The Scarface producer was not only known for making films, but also for being an investor, record-setting pilot, and an engineer. His fame and success was at a high in the '20s, and he eventually went on to control RKO Pictures studio, one of the prominent studios during Hollywood's golden age.

After a trying year, Queer Eye is returning soon for a sixth season. The hit Netflix series, which showcases lifestyle makeovers, gave rise to the now world-famous fashion stylist Tan France. After six years on the show, France has accomplished a lot. Most recently, France received another Emmy nod for Best Reality Show host.
When asked what to expect from the sixth season of Queer Eye, France said:
“Having to not see each other for over a year, that's the longest I've gone without seeing those idiots. This season, I think every episode except one I cried, which is big for me. The stories are a lot bigger. Normally we're focusing on a person and their family. This one we focus so much more on community."
Not only is France a host, television personality, and actor, but he is also an activist. He has used his platform to create social media accounts like Shaded which speaks out against colorist, racism, and islamophobia. During Queer Eye season six, France encountered a woman living with eczema who inspired a new program called The Now Me:
"This is what The Now Me program is all about: Showing people that they should feel confident with their skin. And for me this was the easiest partnership I've done in a very long time."
The Now Me program raises awareness for moderate to severe eczema by showcasing individuals who struggle with the disease.
As if he didn't have enough on his plate, on top of it all France and his fiancé just welcomed their first child!
"I do love family, I love family so much. I love big families... I'm hoping that we won't just have one we want at least three, preferably four or five, so we're excited to get going."
That was France discussing what the future holds for his new family. Catch Tan France in Queer Eye season six, streaming on Netflix soon.

The famous high school football program is getting its own series on Netflix starting August 27th. The reality show will be a sports drama and people are excited to see the real football drama after years of shows trying to recreate this.
We have grown used to seeing the US women's soccer team dominate on the global level for years and years so this loss shocked all of us. The Canadian team scored a penalty kick in the 75th minute, leaving the US very little time to come up with a game-tying goal.
This has not been a hugely successful tournament for the team in general as the US has been shutout three times in the 2021Olympic tournament already. The offense has been struggling greatly which has now finally resulted in a loss.
Canada Women's Soccer Will Play Sweden
'going for her first Olympic gold' 👏 https://t.co/s4tJSZ1mCz
This is the first loss for the US team against Canada in 20 years as the US beat Canada in the 2008 Olympic quarterfinals and the 2012 Olympic semifinals.
"That's football. They got one shot on goal on the PK [penalty kick] and from what it sounds like, it was a PK. So, yeah, it was a bitter one to swallow. Obviously, we never want to lose to Canada. I don't think I've ever lost to Canada. So it's a bitter one. But still a lot to compete for. It's not the color we want, but there's still a medal on the line and we want to win that game. But this sucks." -Megan Rapinoe post-game
With this loss, the US will now be playing against Australia on Thursday for the bronze medal. The Canadian team will be fighting for gold against Sweden. Many are blaming coaches rather than the players for the loss; some are already calling for replacements for some hope in future World Cup and Olympic tournaments.
US fans may be angry or upset and it may not be what anyone expected, but let's hope that the women can pull together the win for the bronze medal on Thursday.
Best of luck to the USWNT and there will be more news to follow in the coming months as some big pieces are sure to be moved around.
