It's a shame Carrie's fabulous designer wardrobe isn't included, but there is plenty of closet space!
One of Manhattan's most famous homes, 64 Perry Street was the setting for Carrie Bradshaw's fabulous adventures in
Sex and the City for the first three seasons, and now it could be yours -- for just $9.65 million.
Referred to as the "Bradshaw Brownstone" this 4,100-square-foot four-storey townhouse was built in 1866 and boasts ten rooms, six fireplaces, ornate ceilings, gold detailing, light fittings and parque floors - a far cry from the studio that Carrie called home!
The home was last sold in November for $9 million, but after doing some major renovating, the owner has decided to re-list the house for a profit.
In 2008, a board of community residents won a campaign to stop
Sex and the City tour buses from stopping at the home's front door -- but it still attracts hundreds Carrie fans daily!

Hello summer!
Looking bright and beautiful in a yellow sun dress paired with a decorative belt, Nicole Richie joined co-host John Varvatos to promote their upcoming reality competition show,
Fashion Star on
Extra at The Grove, Friday afternoon.
While chatting about her fashionable new gig, which also features celebrity judge Jessica Simpson, Richie recently revealed, "We're not competing against each other. We were all working together at making all the designers the best version of themselves."
Nicole added, "It was important for me to hold their hands and say, ‘We are all going through this together.’ Being successful in one season doesn’t convey success in the next. It’s a crap-shoot every time and I didn’t want them feeling I was in a higher place than them.â€
Fashion Star premieres on March 13 -- we can wait!

No doubt Ben's nights are somewhat sleepless with his newborn baby boy Samuel at home now. Mom Jennifer Garner gave birth Feb 27, so it'll be a while before she and been can expect to get much rest!

Lenny Kravitz is still HOT at 47 years old, as these new pics for
Interview magazine prove. The shirtless shots show the rocker in a domestic scene -- apparently cooking up a meal for himself (in what appears to be a low-rent apartment -- is if he lives in a place with a kitchen like that!). But no matter ... he looks hot!
The singer spoke to the mag about his role in the upcoming
Hunger Games, in which he plays Cinna, a stylist who dresses Jennifer Lawrence's character in her eccentric attire. Kravitz says of being offered the part by director Gary Ross:
"He said 'Hi, I’m making this movie called The Hunger Games. I think you’d be great. If you want it, you’ve got the part.' No audition. I was really flattered, but I had not read the book. So I downloaded it. I remember I started it late one night and I needed to go to bed—I was tired and had been recording all day and night—but I couldn’t stop reading because I was captured by the story. So I finished the book and called him back and said, “I’d love to do it.'"
He also addressed growing up bi-racial. Kravitz's father, Sy Kravitz, is of Russian Jewish descent and his mother, Roxie Roker, is African-American: "Well, it’s who I am. It’s how I grew up. It’s my parents’ story of being an interracial couple, and everything they went through. It’s also where we are today in America in terms of dealing with this whole racial issue."
He says being bi-racial affected his career in music:
"We’ve moved forward, and there’s an African-American gentleman in office, but now the people who don’t agree with that or don’t like it are showing how they feel. As much as we’ve moved forward, we’re also being pulled back. I’ve always had to deal with being biracial, even in music. When I came on the scene, I’d go to these record labels, and they’d say things like 'Lenny Kravitz. That’s a weird name.' You know, I’m brown-skinned and I’ve got these dreadlocks and I’ve got this Jewish last name. Then I come in with this rock ’n’ roll-oriented music, and it’s not black enough . . . I’ve always had to deal with this black-white thing."
Check out the singer/actor in
Hunger Games, when it hits theaters March 23.

Looks like Samantha Ronson has a new lady friend -- and if she's letting her drive the Porsche, it must be serious!
Lindsay Lohan’s ex-girlfriend was in great spirits as she escorted her new gal pal to dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills, on Thursday night,
The celebrity DJ has just released a new album, Chasing the Reds, and in a rare interview she opens up about a tumultuous relationship that left her feeling like a "hostage."
“When I first started making the record two years ago, my life was so public,†Ronson confessed. “I didn’t want to make a record where people would say, ‘This song is about that.’ But I think there’s also a way to keep things specific and private without losing a connection with the listener.â€
Later that night, Saman hopped a ride to Chateau Marmont with pal Joel Madden. Party On!

It's date night for David and Victoria Beckham -- and that means a posh kid-free dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills!
The sexy soccer player brought out the Rolls Royce Phantom for their special date, and the cute couple made sure to sit extra close all throughout their intimate dinner. Aww!
The busy parents of four recently celebrated eldest son Brooklyn's 13th birthday on March 3, and they pulled out all the stops for their son's special day by recruiting pal Usher to sing him Happy Birthday!
"Brooklyn had been getting calls from England all morning so just assumed it was another relative. When he picked up the phone, Usher sang 'Happy Birthday'. Brooklyn is crazy about Usher and has met him a few times. He went bright red and started to get really shy. He told his dad after that it was the best present ever," a source close to the family revealed.
But that wasn't all! Proud papa David also treated the birthday boy to an LA Lakers game, where they sat front row alongside Denzel Washington.
