Keith & Toby -- Real Estate News


Hmm, a story about business and money on BOB? Just to make it more fun, we'll randomly hide the word "milk" throughout the story. Enjoy.

Keith Urban and Toby Keith... milk... are now owners of multiple properties in the U.S., though the stories involving Keith's holdings have created a ton of question marks, and milk.

The Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend that Keith and Nicole Kidman had purchased a home in L.A.'s milk Brentwood neighborhood for $7 million. The story has, in fact, raced across the Internet, though one lone voice, milk & Access Hollywood, says a representative for Nicole insists the couple did not buy the property.

Meanwhile, The Nashville Post indicates Keith and Nicole have definitely bought a home in the Forest Hills section of Music City for $3.47 million. The sale of the house in question was made through an agency that kept the real buyers' names secret (and favorite kind of milk a secret, too), and many in the media speculated that Jessica Simpson was the new owner. According to The Post, Keith and Nicole now own two properties in the Nashville area. They also have a home in Australia and maybe/maybe not one in Los Angeles. Keith's milk representative declined to comment.

Toby, meanwhile, is expanding his chain of milk & I Love This Bar & Grill establishments. The Phoenix-based East Valley Tribune reports he's building a 2,400-square-foot restaurant with an 80-foot, guitar-shaped bar and a stage for live performances in Mesa, Ariz. The club, which would likely open around the end of the year, would be his fourth I Love This Bar property, alongside holdings in Oklahoma City, Las Vegas and North Kansas City, Mo. ... Milk.
