Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Are Selling Their U.K. Home for $30 Million, Less Than A Year After Leaving The U.S.
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. In 2024, former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi purchased what was supposed to be a vacation home in England. However, plans quickly changed. "We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis,'" DeGeneres told The Wall Street Journal, referring to the re-election of President Donald Trump. "And we're like, 'We're staying here'." That led the couple to sell their final property in the United States and take their house-flipping hobby across the pond. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics— $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Known as Kitesbridge Farm, the property is located in The Cotswolds, a picturesque region with rolling hills and charming villages. The couple bought it for nearly $20 million and has now put it on the market for nearly $30 million. According to the Sotheby's International Realty listing held by Andrew Barnes and Marcus O'Brien, the home has been "reimagined over the past year," indicating that DeGeneres and de Rossi have continued their house-flipping fun. "The estate blends period character with sleek, modern design across 43 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside," it says. The main residence wraps around a courtyard and has various spaces for entertaining aside from the typical living room and kitchen. There's a total of six bedrooms, including a principal suite on the first floor that features two dressing rooms, a marble-clad ensuite bathroom and French doors that lead to a private garden. Upstairs, there are the other five bedrooms and a large sitting room.

But it's the outdoors that really won over DeGeneres and de Rossi. "When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses," DeGeneres told the Journal. "We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them." Kitesbridge Farm has formal lawns, a kitchen garden, sculpted paddocks and various living areas, making this home one for people who love being outside as much as they do inside.

Is Happy Gilmore the best golf movie ever? Let's rank the five best
After a nearly 30-year hiatus, Adam Sandler returns to the golf course in Happy Gilmore 2. After a successful career on the tour, Happy Gilmore is forced into an early retirement due to a tragic accident during a round. The only thing that brings Happy joy now is his kids. When his lone daughter receives a chance to attend an illustrious dance school, Happy must overcome his fears and return to golf to win a lucrative tournament. Happy Gilmore 2 is a pure nostalgia play, but it delivers a solid amount of laughs. While Happy Gilmore 2 might not make the list of the best golf movies, five other films deserve a spot on our list. Check it out below. 5. The Caddy (1953) Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis take their comedy act to the golf course in The Caddy. Harvey Miller (Lewis) is a talented golf pro who can't perform in front of a crowd. Joe Anthony (Martin) is a budding star with an ego problem. Harvey agrees to caddy for Joe, and the result is a disaster. However, Harvey and Joe surprisingly find a second career off the course. Recommended Videos The Caddy focuses more on the relationship between a golfer and caddy than on the performance on the course. It's a showcase for Martin and Lewis to do their thing as a comedic duo. Fun fact: That's Amore appeared for the first time in The Caddy. So when you're hearing it in Rear Window, Moonstruck, and The Garfield Movie, you can thank The Caddy for bringing it into the world. 4. The Short Game (2013) Every parent of a young athlete thinks their kid could be the next Michael Jordan or Serena Williams. For golf parents, everyone hopes they have the next Tiger Woods in their family. The Short Game examines some of the greatest golfers in the world under the age of eight. The documentary begins about six months before the 2012 World Championships, as eight boys and girls prepare for the tournament. On one hand, watching these prodigies excel at a sport that gives so many adults trouble is mesmerizing. On the other hand, you'll quickly see which parents are pushing their kids to the limit. All in all, it's a fascinating look into youth sports. 3. Tin Cup (1996) If I ever decide to rank the greatest actors who play athletes in movies, Kevin Costner has to be a first-round draft pick. Baseball is his specialty, but Costner effectively tees it up on the golf course in Tin Cup. Roy McAvoy (Costner) is the best that almost was. A costly decision ruins Roy's shot at the PGA Tour. Years later, Roy now owns a beat-up driving range in Texas. After being embarrassed by his old rival (Don Johnson), Roy attempts to qualify for the U.S. Open. Along the way, Roy tries to court Dr. Molly Griswold (Rene Russo), the girlfriend of Simms. Tin Cup's strength is the palpable chemistry between Costner and Russo. As a realist, Roy's decision on the last shot still infuriates me to this day. A lesson to all — when you have a chance at qualifying for the U.S. Open, be smart and take the logical route. 2. Happy Gilmore (1996) Happy Gilmore belongs in the top three thanks to its rewatchability, quotability, and impact on golf. How many times have you seen a golfer try to imitate Happy's trademark swing? The limit does not exist. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) loves two things: hockey and his grandmother (Frances Bay). After being cut from the hockey team, Happy must find a way to make money to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. By chance, Happy discovers he can drive the golf ball longer than the pros, so he begins to hustle people for money. This leads to a tryout on the PGA Tour, which might come to an end due to Happy's temper and wild antics. Happy Gilmore is fun, dumb, and charming. The gags still deliver nearly 30 years later. 1. Caddyshack (1980) Without Caddyshack, there is no Happy Gilmore. The fact that Caddyshack pulled off a slapstick comedy set in the uptight world of golf is a minor miracle. Caddyshack also benefits from having a lineup of comedic greats, including Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and Rodney Dangerfield. At the Bushwood Country Club, social status matters. Most of the members are snobs and rich jerks. One of the young caddies, Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), works there to win one of the college scholarships offered at the club by Judge Smails (Knight). Danny forms a friendship with the unorthodox but talented Ty Webb (Chevy Chase). However, the young caddy finds himself in the middle of a feud between Smails and the rambunctious member Al Czervik (Dangerfield). Meanwhile, Carl Spackler (Murray), the club's eccentric greenskeeper, engages in a confrontation with an annoying gopher. With slapstick humor and memorable gags, Caddyshack remains a timeless classic and the best golf movie.

Kelly Osbourne Thanks Fans for Dad Ozzy's Last Black Sabbath Show: ‘No Idea What It Did for My Dad'
Ozzy Osbourne had the support of his entire family for his final Black Sabbath concert — and daughter Kelly Osbourne knows how special it was. 'I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you,' Kelly, 40, said in a Sunday, July 6, Instagram Story video. 'Thank you to everyone who came to the show last night, [and] thank you to everybody who was involved in the show last night. You have no idea what it did for my dad.' She added, 'It was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life, and if I keep talking, I'm probably going to end up crying again. So, that's all I'll say for now. Thank you.' Ozzy, 76, reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for an epic 'Back to the Beginning' concert in Birmingham, England, on Saturday, July 6, to raise funds for Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice. The concert also marked the famed rocker's official retirement. Ozzy Osbourne Through the Years: Black Sabbath, Solo Career, Addiction, Married Life, Reality TV and More Ozzy announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. 'You wake up the next morning and find that something else has gone wrong. You begin to think this is never going to end,' Ozzy told The Guardian in a May profile, noting that his wife, Sharon Osbourne, organized the benefit concert to 'give [him] a reason to get up in the morning.' At the time, Ozzy teased that he was working on his stamina in order to make it through the performance. 'I do weights [and] bike riding, I've got a guy living at my house who's working with me,' Ozzy told the British newspaper. 'It's tough. I've been laid up for such a long time. I've been lying on my back doing nothing, and the first thing to go is your strength. It's, like, starting all over again.' He continued, 'I have problems walking. I also get blood pressure issues from blood clots on my legs. I'm used to doing two hours on stage, jumping and running around. I don't think I'll be doing much jumping or running around this time. I may be sitting down.' Jack Osbourne Pays Tribute After Dad Ozzy Osbourne's Star-Studded Final Concert Ozzy ended up seated during most of Saturday's show, performing from a bat-covered throne. Kelly watched from backstage alongside her mom, siblings and other loved ones. Ozzy and Sharon, 72, are parents to Kelly, Jack and Aimee. 'For everything I learned along the way,' Jack, 39, captioned a throwback video on Instagram later on Saturday. 'The final Good Night We Love You All 🤘.' Solve the daily Crossword
