5 Celebrity Cribs That We Think Are MTV-Worthy


5 Celebrity Cribs That We Think Are MTV-Worthy

MTV Cribs,” the cult TV hit that let us snoop inside celebs’ homes, is due to return in June—only this time, the show is getting a renovation. We all know it’s going to be tough to top Mariah Carey‘s crazy closet, but we have high hopes for the show. The new twist? Celebs will wield their own video cameras and post their unedited footage on Snapchat—the insanely popular now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t image-sharing social app hot with millennials.

As for whose homes we’ll get to peek into, the first three guests are reported to be rapper Mac Miller, YouTube star Austin Mahone, and singer Travis Mills. But who should be next?

We decided to take matters into our own hands and develop a (highly speculative) crib list. We bet that these stars would be totally into flaunting their digs—especially the ones that have been sitting around on the market. Who knows? Maybe their footage will catch the eye of some wealthy, die-hard buyer! So take notes, MTV, and heed these suggestions of homes that would serve as great “Cribs” fodder:

J. Lo

Jennifer Lopez‘s 17,129-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills, CA, provides plenty of eye candy, including a poker room, massage parlor, salon, and professional recording and dance studios. And besides, who wouldn’t want a peek at her plush glam room and huge walk-in closet (and, hopefully, some of those Versace gowns)?

Purchased with then-husband Marc Anthony in 2010, the home went on the market in January 2015 for $17 million after their divorce, and the price has since dropped to $12.5 million. Which makes us wonder: Is something wrong with this place? A “Cribs” tour could certainly help suss that out—or dispel any doubts.

Michael Jordan

Basketball legend Michael Jordan has already invited the public into his 56,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom, 15-bathroom palace in Highland Park, IL—sort of. Anyone can view the estate, currently listed for just under $15 million, in a series of Hollywood-quality videos highlighting the home’s many amenities, including putting greens and pro-quality workout rooms. But how cool would it be to see MJ dunk on his own regulation-size basketball court? And we’d love to know just how many Nikes he has stashed in his walk-in closets.

Taylor Swift

The pop world doesn’t get much bigger than Taylor Swift, but the thing we love most about her home (which is not for sale) is just how quaint and quirky it is. Wildly patterned wallpaper, antiquated kitchen faucets, and countless cat-shaped tchotchkes clutter every corner. Who knew she was nostalgic, a pack rat, and a cat lady?

Crazy wallpaper and cat statues? Where’s our invite, Taylor?

Alicia Keys

Singer Alicia Keys may be selling her Phoenix house for $38.5 million, but it’s not because she doesn’t love the place. She dubbed the 7,881-square-foot, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired domicile “Dreamland,” because it was a “dream come true.” It comes with an 800-bottle wine cellar, game room, elevator, gym, and wraparound two-level patio with an infinity pool. Check out her bedroom below, and that view!

Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone may be famed as the tough-talking but lovable slugger Rocky Balboa, but his home in La Quinta, CA, shows that behind closed doors, the actor is a big old softie with New Age overtones to boot. The 5,173-square-foot, four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home (for sale since January for $4,199,000) contains numerous paintings created by him, a photo of him playing polo (who knew he was such a prep?) and—get this—a crystal ball that’s actually been “tuned” to show the future. No psychic needed!

Sylvester Stallone’s home is full of surprises, but no Clubber Lang sightings.
