Buns & Birdies

Photographer Christie Jenkins became a media darling in the ‘80s appearing on 200 TV talk shows promoting her tome BUNS: A Woman Look at Men’s, a groundbreaking photo book followed by five calendars.

In the ‘90s she took her new TV show concept, Dancing with the Stars, to the BBC on the advice of composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, with ABC licensing it for U.S. broadcast.

She moved from her home in Carmel, where she ran a photography gallery, to Montecito just as the Thomas Fire hit and designed a 2018 holiday card to support the Montecito Firefighters Fund.

Jenkins now resides in Carpinteria with her celebrity photography gallery and is presently working on her next project benefitting 16 equine charities.

POLO: Men & Horses 2025 Calendar is due to thunder off the presses in due course.

Each calendar subject chooses the charity he wishes to support, and checks go out in that player’s name.

Jenkins plans myriad printings, with sponsors to be featured on the back.

House on the Market

The Montecito estate where models Bella, Gigi and their singing brother Anwar Hadid grew up, has hit the market for $8.85 million.

The 7,000 square foot Mediterranean-style estate had had a number of owners and updates since the Hadids lived there, according to Architectural Digest.

The estate has five bedrooms. 5.5 baths, a media room, swimming pool, spa and cabana.

A Suits Deal

Riven Rock resident The Duchess of Sussex has netted a handsome six figure sum from the sale of her TV series Suits to broadcasters around the world.

The series ended in 2019, but recently enjoyed a resurgence on Netflix. Now it has been sold to more than 240 outlets around the globe, with repeat fees lining the pockets of its stars.

NBC Universal, which manages sales of the series, is remaining tight lipped about the actors and their royalties, but it has been estimated Meghan Markle could have earned $200,000 from Netflix alone.

This comes on top of whatever she was paid per episode playing the fiery paralegal Rachel Zane from 2011 to 2017 when she quit to get engaged to Prince Harry.

Outsiders in the Ring

More than 40 years after their hit film The Outsiders, Rob Lowe has shared a unique story about how he would spend his downtime on set with Tom Cruise.

Both The Outsiders and another 1983 classic – Risky Business – helped put Cruise, 62, on the map after his first role in 1981’s Endless Love and Taps, and 1982’s Losin’ It.

Montecito resident Lowe made his feature film debut in The Outsiders after a handful of TV series, and they were joined by a slew of future stars like Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, and Ralph Macchio.

Rob, 60, appearing on The Rich Eisen Show was asked if he had a good Tom Cruise anecdote.

He recounted how Cruise was “so competitive” and how he once knocked him out when they were sparring at their hotel.

He admitted how there was “so much testosterone” there because of their ages and “being stuck on location.”

Rob said they both wore head gear and mouthpieces for the sparring sessions, but they were “fighting for real.”

“Tom is jacked. I’m like a pipe cleaner. I hadn’t started working out yet, so I looked like Karen Carpenter.

And Tom is like this beast, but I hit him hard and rang his bell. The next thing I know, I woke up and was coming to on the floor. He completely knocked me out… It was like Fight Club!”
