BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Songwriter and singer Carole King has put her 128-acre ranch in the White Cloud Mountains up for sale, with a $19 million asking price.
The secluded Robinson Bar Ranch compound includes a 7,000-square-foot lodge, King’s two-bedroom home, a caretaker’s home, a professional recording studio, guest cabins and horse barns. The property also includes two natural hot pools, and several buildings are heated by geothermal springs.
But King said she’s not leaving Idaho, where she’s lived since 1977. King still maintains a condominium in Ketchum and homes in California and New York, where she was born.
She declined to talk about the sale, saying she was busy writing a book.
King wrote and sang standards like “I Feel the Earth Move” and “You’ve Got a Friend,” and with her songwriting partner and ex-husband Gerry Goffin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1970, she broke out on her own as a singer with “Tapestry,” which Rolling Stone Magazine rated as No. 36 of the top 500 albums of all time.
MIAMI (AP) – Colin Farrell’s personal dresser on the “Miami Vice” movie set sued the film’s production company and Universal Studios for damages after she fractured her jaw while shooting the movie, the lawsuit said.
Joulles Wright, 35, of Atlanta, was riding on a speed boat when an improperly secured bumper broke off and struck her in the face, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in circuit court in Miami-Dade County.
Wright, who had been hired as Farrell’s dresser during the filming of the movie in Miami, needed surgery and had to have her jaw wired after the August 2005 incident, said Tonya Meister, her attorney.
“She continues to have significant pain and continues to seek medical treatment,” Meister said.
The defendants named in the lawsuit were MV Film Productions L.L.C., Entertainment Partners Inc., EPSG Management Services and GE/NBC Universal.
The lawsuit claims that the speedboat was unsafe and the defendants did not give Wright adequate medical care, which aggravated her injuries and caused additional pain.
The defendants and the film’s director, Michael Mann, did not return phone calls to The Associated Press.
“Miami Vice,” starring Farrell and Academy-Award winner Jamie Foxx, is an update of the TV police series that helped define ‘80s pop culture. It opens July 28.
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) – Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has sued the millionaires-only Yellowstone Club and its owner over an offered investment deal.
LaMond, his in-laws, a company they own and a friend claim Tim Blixseth tried to buy out their investments in the club at a fraction of the value and then refused to turn over financial records so they could determine the actual value.
Since LeMond and the others are part owners of the resort, Montana law says that financial records must be available to them, the lawsuit contends.
The suit was filed Wednesday in Madison County.
Blixseth said he was “pleased and relieved that they have filed the lawsuit. After many, many months of being threatened unless I deposit large amounts of cash in their accounts, I’m relieved that it will be resolved in a court of law by reasonable minds.”
The exclusive Yellowstone Club, a gated community south of Big Sky, has many huge homes valued at $10 million or more, private golf, skiing and other amenities.
