Jeana Keough, the former Playboy model turned real estate agent/reality TV star is having a bit of trouble in the Orange Country, California real estate market. She stars on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and owns four homes including three rental properties. She has told the Orange County Register that all four homes are in trouble. Last month,her lender filed a notice of default for a $1.3 million mortgage made in 2003, saying that she owes $37,538 in unpaid bills. She's also under fire from the homeowner's association in her neighborhood, Coto de Caza which says she owes $3,732.

Keough, who recently announced that she wasn't not planning to return to the show, has said she's working on loan modifications on all four homes and that's why they are going into default. She has renters in her three other units but isn't sure if she is going to sell.

Platinum Weddings

Filed under: Events

We talked once before about the TV show My Super Sweet 16, where parents spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a teen's birthday party. The new show on the WE network makes those parties look like small potatoes, but at least it does so tastefully. Platinum Weddings is all about how fantastically wealthy couples celebrate the biggest day of their lives. With budgets of more than half a million dollars - compared to the national average of $28,000 - these couples leave no stone unpolished and no rose petal unscattered as they perfect their weddings.

Lana and Victor Fuchs star in this week's episode (which airs July 30th at 8pm EST) have a budget of $1.5 million for their Vegas ceremony.

Who Wants To Be A British Heir?

Filed under: Estates

An English aristocrat, a country estate and the need for an heir, it sounds like the plot for either a romance novel, or, given the times we live in, a reality TV show. The New York Times profiles Sir Benjamin Slade, the owner of Maunsel House in Somerset England. Slade, who is 59 and childless has not found a relative willing to take responsibility for the estate which costs $140,000 per year to keep up not including incidental charges that arise. Slade is seeking an heir to produce children and make sure the estate continues to prosper. Maunsel House currently is rented out for weddings and parties.  He is hoping to find an American Slade with lots of enthusiasm for hard work so that the house doesn't have to be turned over to the British National Trust or sold. A television company wants to turn Slade's search into a reality TV show in which the potential heirs would live at the house and undergo challenges to determine the heir. You can see some interior pictures of Maunsel House at Sir Ben's website.
