I wonder if she is also selling her studio in the original 160 acre Hollywood lot?
Edit: I've had a quick look and it's not listed with the same realtor - yet! Intriguing!

See also here, where photos can be clicked on and saved http://curbed.com/archive...er-discreet-compound.php and here http://www.visualtour.com....asp?t=2625694&sk=16 These are wonderful photos of the house and garden and demonstrate what I always suspected from a photo of Leisha in the kitchen in a magazine years ago, that the very modern kitchen on the Designers' website that was not featured in the In Style or Metropolitan magazines was not kd's. I feel very uneasy about this! We don't know how much of what was stolen by her Business Manager, kd has managed to recover, she has invested a very great deal in a Buddhist Centre in L.A. and in Tools For Peace, she is selling her motorbike which may or may not be relevant and also Jamie has not joined her in Australia as I believe she was expected to do, which also may or may not be relevant. I just hope that there is no unhappy necessity to sell! |

kd did recoup the money in a California lawsuit. eventually a Canadian court did uphold the lawsuit but her former business manager's lawyer said she (kd) will never see a cent so I don't know if she recouped the money form that or not. I still don't think kd is hurting though. She gets not only proceeds from the sale of the CD, but also a take in tour profits, which is why artists like sold out concerts!!! and royalties from publishing her own music. If you look on the CD, you'll see that each of the band members got their own publishing rights and so get the royalties every time the song is played. As far as Jaime, she keeps that part of her life private, Jaime wasn't mentioned during the 2008 tour either. according the the real estate listing though, kd is still with her Buddhist lady-mate. Perhaps she is moving to Australia.

I feel a bit uneasy too, Abs. But I don't think she'd move to Australia - LA is home base for her work, her friends, her Buddhist work, Tools for Peace, and her mum is not too far away. I can see her buying a small place in Melbourne as a get-away though. I thought perhaps Nashville for a moment, but don't think so - for the same reasons. Plus, assuming all's well with the couple, Jamie is a huge part of Tools for Peace and her family is there, so not likely she'd move. Perhaps they decided they didn't need that much house and are simplifying, Buddhist style.

Yes I agree that much as kd loves Melbourne, she is unlikely to emigrate to Australia for a variety of personal and professional reasons, although she might like a holiday home in Australia.
As for the Business Manager, actually getting the money is not necessarily straightforward and also having much left once the lawyers have taken their cut is an issue unless the Expenses can be collected from the woman, who appears to have no ethics or morality at all. kd has always said she is not that rich ( relative to many other artists) because touring is expensive and without radio play you don't get into the charts and that has always been a problem. Most people don't even know what they are missing. We all wish kd well, it goes without saying. |

I too hope she's not selling out of unhappy necessity, but I suspect she's just downsizing to what she needs.

Well kd did let the cat out of the bag by declaring openly in the Melbourne concert that she can't wait to live in Melbourne to the delight of the crowd. We just have to wait and see.

She has hinted at another Siss Boom Bang album soon and living on the other side of the world would not be that covenient but as you say, we will have to wait and see.

I had the same thought as Abstorch on that one :/ Would be awkward to move if another album is on the cards but I guess we'll find out soon enough....

I've been away for a few days and have just discovered this topic. Like many of you I seriously doubt that kd would move to Australia at this point in her career. As for her private life, she gives the impression that she is very happy at the moment. If she wasn't it would probably show in her demeanor. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that everything is alright.

More and better photos. Oh boy, that house is terminally gorgeous. I can just imagine her floating in that pool and writing Je Fais La Planche. Also, she's got a crow in the breakfast area! And that's not her writing on the blackboard btw, Mr/Ms Journalist. I agree with you, Manon. She has seemed very upbeat on Twitter lately and surely that's not the demeanour of someone whose heart has been broken. Also, someone with a very elderly mother tends to want to stay within reach if at all possible and I know kd has mentioned in interviews that this is a factor always in her mind when she tours. But it's her private business, obviously. Maybe the idea is to sell the house so as to be able to afford a smaller house in the US plus one in Melbourne? |

Yes, the blackboard. Milk Eggs. No way, although kd who is a vegan has said that she finds butter hard to resist.

And anyway she'd write 'milk eggs' not 'Milk Eggs'!
So that was her own living-room she was in in the interview on the Salmonberries DVD?

I love that interview - she looks beautiful in her very individual style, seems very happy and sparkly, and adds a lot to the film. And if I were Frau Adlon I'd be extremely jealous about the love in Percy A's face when he says he 'fell in love with kd'!

Well you don't need to be male/female/gay/straight/ to do that! Just human.
