Michael Scott's 'The Office' Condo Up for Sale: See the Price
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The condo apartment that Michael Scott lived in during the American series The Office is now up for sale on Zillow, with a pending sale as of July 1. On The Office, the condo was located at 126 Kellum Court inside the Kellum Court complex in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It was featured in several episodes, including the fan-favorites "The Dinner Party," "Fun Run," and "Dream Team." "The Dinner Party," the 13th episode of the show's fourth season, was ranked by Variety as the best episode of the entire series. Variety said the episode contained "some of the most hilarious scenes of the entire series." The condo was selected because of the "flow" and "openness," according to director Paul Feig during his guest appearance on the podcast Office Ladies, hosted by actors Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, who played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin, respectively. The condo is actually located roughly an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles in the Reseda neighborhood, the listing boasts "famous neighbors" such as actor Johnny Depp and filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Carell, winner of Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy for "The Office" and NBC's Jeff Zucker.

Charbonneau/WireImage for Universal Pictures The three-bed, three-bathroom condo is listed at $710,000 as a "very clean, well kept, turn-key home" that offers 1,458 square feet, has direct access to a two-car garage, and a back patio. The listing has a "pending sale" as of July 1 after 70 days on the market, but the realtor is still accepting back-up offers. A turn-key home means that the buyer should expect little to no updates or maintenance ahead of taking up residence. The property has a tax-assessed value of $656,477 and has a value as high as $736,000 as the "estimated sales range," on Zillow. The property requires a $550 per month Homeowners Association (HOA) fee, which covers yard maintenance and "controlled access" to the gated community and even includes earthquake insurance—likely unsurprising given its location. The Zillow listing for the property describes it as a "great starter home or downsize home as it can be easily managed and maintained." The listing previously sold in 2005, the year The Office debuted in the U.S.—for around $490,000 and was listed for sale on April 19 this year. The gated community in which home is located contains 36 homes overall, and based on previous sales, at least some of the properties have identical layouts. A condo located next door had been listed for sale in 2022, which had the "exact same floor plan," according to the New York Post. The home listed for $699,000 at that time, and ultimately sold for around $755,000.

Ben Shelton pleaded for extra time off for his sister at Morgan Stanley. It worked
LONDON — Ben Shelton launched a public plea for his sister to get some extra time off from her job at investment bank Morgan Stanley so she could remain at Wimbledon to cheer for him. It worked. After advancing to face Italy's Lorenzo Sonego on Monday in the fourth round, Shelton spoke in an on-court interview in front of a crowd that included his sister, Emma, and his girlfriend, U.S. national soccer team star Trinity Rodman. 'I've been playing well this week. It's not just been me here. I have a great team. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. Also, my sister's here. She's been here for every match that I've played this tournament so far. She's been the lucky charm,' said the 10th-seeded Shelton, a 22-year-old American who has appeared in two Grand Slam semifinals. 'But she has work back in the U.S., starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley.' That drew some boos from spectators as Emma covered her face with her hands. 'If any of you all have some (connections) and get her a couple extra days off so she can (stay and) we can keep this rolling,' Shelton continued after his 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory over Marton Fucsovics of Hungary on Saturday, 'that'd be great.' Sure enough, hours later, Emma posted a short video on Instagram in which Ben is heard asking her, 'You got the week off or what?' She jumps up and down with her arms raised and a wide smile, and Ben says, 'Shoutout, Morgan Stanley.' The caption reads 'thank you MS' with three blue heart emojis and 'return flight: cancelled.' Ben Shelton, who won all nine sets he played in Week 1 at the All England Club, beat Sonego in the Australian Open quarterfinals in January.

Meghan Markle Posts Selfie from Second Date with Prince Harry—and I Noticed Something Super Striking
Meghan Markle celebrated Independence Day and the ninth anniversary of her and Prince Harry's second date by sharing a sweet, never-before-seen selfie of the two, and I couldn't help but notice something striking about the picture. The Duchess of Sussex posted the photo on Instagram with the caption, 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016, and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition,' and the picture instantly caught my attention. In it, Meghan and Prince Harry look incredibly happy with giant smiles on their faces, holding each other cheek-to-cheek. Their body language also suggests to me that they are closer than ever, as they are cuddling tightly. Selfie aside, the royal posted a picture of decorative red-white-and-blue cupcakes made with the pair's two children, Archie (6) and Lilibet (4), adding, 'Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes.' Samir Hussein/WireImage/Getty Images Prince Harry and Meghan first began dating in 2016, tying the knot in an elaborate ceremony two years later in May 2018, and since then, they have frequently been captured showing visible affection for each other. Or as Rachel Bowie, senior director of special projects and royals, writes, 'Breaking royal protocol? PDA does not. (The effort to keep things formal is more likely related to British decorum than anything else.) But it's much less typical to catch these types of moments within the monarchy, whereas, for Harry and Meghan, it's the norm.' Samir Hussein/WireImage/Getty Images Bowie continues: I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the lovey-dovey displays they tend to sneak in and demonstrate, often in the presence of others. It's one of the quickest ways to make others feel at ease, not to mention draw a line between their personal and professional sides. More than anything, it adds to their relatability.' One thing is for sure: just one year short of the tenth anniversary of their second date, Meghan and Harry seem the happiest they've ever been.
