Ryan’s hope

(http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2012/05/09/home/web_photos/jenjohn.c--300x300.jpg)

America’s sweetheart is sweet on downtown Manhattan.

Meg Ryan is on an apartment search again, with her rocker boyfriend John Mellencamp. But Ryan, who as we previously reported has rented at 40 Mercer St., is now looking to buy.

The actress recently toured a condo at TriBeCa’s 51 Walker St. that was once rented by Leonardo DiCaprio. The 3,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom triplex is listed for $5.25 million and comes with a private garden that has a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Frederik Eklund, a star of Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing New York,” and John Gomes are the brokers for the apartment, which Gwen Stefani also once called home.

Ryan and Mellencamp also visited the Marble House triplex unit at TriBeCa’s 60 Collister St. The 9,200-square-unit, six-bedroom, five-plus-bathroom condo is listed for $19.99 million and offers “townhouse-style living” with a doorman and parking. The owner of the unit, also listed by Eklund and Gomes, is movie producer Stuart Parr (“8 Mile”). Parr also owns Chelsea’s Stuart Parr Gallery.

Sounds Serious.... ::) ::) ::)

I am sure John likes to visit NYC but I doubt he would like to live there. He loves his home state Indiana. He loves the country. He has everything there. Recording studio, his kids and dad there and peace and quiet. Tabloids just like to get things stirred up.

I wonder who tells these people that she is looking to buy!? Funny that article has just a picture of John and not Meg since she is the one buying.

 ;)This blog says he was with her to look at various places. Not necessarily for him to buy a place. Could be she was looking for the new digs. I wonder how much all the homes they both own individually are worth together? Millions I bet!





C'mon, Read the article. The real estate agent leaks the info to the Post for puuuu__blicity.. It's always done like that.

,

It's always for publicity, gotta get into the public eye.
She should be able to buy her home in peace unless publicity is what she wants.

The article just gave the names of the famous brokers. I did not see a quote from them that gave the hint they told the story. But your guess is probably right Mellenfan.

What happened to client confidentiality....can not be easy being in the public eye, trying to do something as normal as buy a home.  Being a NYer I hope John does spend some more time in NYC and does another Housing Works Benefit....All Time Favorite Show!

Your insinuation is off. The rather obvious agent wants the press . Having worked for yrs in NYC for a rather ambitious one. I know for a fact big name info is leaked by the office to promote their properties. Poor Meg.  As if the lass didn't hate the press enough already. 

Hey yooo Dolly! Fellow NYC'r here! John can spend as much time here as he wants. He loves
our city.

Yes, sure sounds like the real estate company wants some publicity and let this one leak. I wonder if they lured Meg Ryan and John to the 20 mill apartment on purpose for that reason. Doesnt seem like a place they would like, but hey, what do we know?  ;D

Makes sense for Meg Ryan to buy in NYC. She now rents at 30.000 per month in Soho and that's a waste of money since these days she doesnt spend a lot of time in NYC anymore. Buying an apartment is a better investment anyway.

I agree with Rhonda. A lot of money and not own it is a waste. John probably told her that.

isn't that an old picture cut in half that was taking with elaine?

of course jm isn't going to move to nyc with meg. thats not jm. jm is indiana all the way. he isn't going to leave his home, especially with the set up he has with elaine concerning the kids. and why would he want to move in with meg anyways to nyc when he has everything he needs right where he's at.

and i think this is all publicity for meg since she has been out of the public eye for quite a long time. one thing i admire about elaine. she has integrity and doesn't seek any publicity nor make a big show of what is going on in her personal life. she has a lot of integrity. still a shame john and her split up.

i still don't believe that john and meg will stick together.

When we are talking these huge amounts of money, yes indeed. Tribeca is supposed to be very cool.

what i dont understand is meg is selling her property in LA.  looking for a place in NYC thats gona cost what a few million or so? she is supposed to have a spot on PBS' show "half the sky" and is listed as a supporter of that cause. and i dont feel shes a good role model anyways for even having a bit part in the show due to her porn scene in the movie "in the cut" and i still believe she help instigate johns divorce no matter what anyone says. probobaly john had an affair with meg while married to elaine (he said in his biography video to his old drummer that he was gona marry elaine cuz she was the one he had always been looking for and was gona be married to her forever) and of course just like the last marriages gets a divorce ending up with the gal he had been having the affair with. divorce just ease a mind of guilt i would say. why dont meg take some of that money and donate to that cause. and if shes so gung ho on john why dont she donate some of that money towards "farm aid". instead of being selfless, being selfish i would say. cant be bored with that amount of money. oh john please get rid of her and get your life back.
still love your songs tho

hi sammy, tell our freind anne i said hello!!!!

I agree with "Gee Gee." Meg probably needs the publicity. Why didn't they show a picture of her???? Beacause no one cares where she lives. I sure don't. Hooking up with her was the most disapointed I have ever been at JM. I have never liked Meg Ryan!!!!! Elaine is the perfect example of class and style. Meg Ryan is the perfect example of a "has been!"

Hola! IDN Maybe Anne's super busy like a bee banning your troll comments under multiple names from her board(you and slm1206 are all the same person right? nudge nudge ;)

As for Meg , Mike Wanchic likes her a lot as he mentions in this new radio interview. ""Great to see them together" So he's stupid too? You know whats best for JM!!

As for you being "disapointed" in him or thinking he's dumb or stupid, I am sure John is just Torn up about it .Rumor has it he really values your opinion.

BTW especially like how you keep saying she adopted her chinese daughter to 'get attention". Ironically, She actually tried to adopt a family of pygmys and a small llama( no kidding!)and leak it to the press.. All to get attention of course. Silly woman lol

You are hilarious plus your obsession with ITC (and with his ex EI)is a bit creepy lol BUT Have a lovely night! Peace!

Of course Mike is gonna say nice things. It's an interview you don't bad mouth anybody. That would be unprofessional, I'm sure he always said nice things about Elaine when John was married to her and Elaine was always on the road also.
Madonna and Jolie adopted kids too does that make them the best people on earth? Not really it's  just publicity. Meg is no different.

Oh ok!  So your saying Mike was fibing about Liking Meg and Elaine to be nice?  Gotcha! I am soo nieve! ;D
 

Of course ,I agree. Sooooo selfish for her/others to adopt a child as a life long commitment for simply a week of publicity. Meg should be ashamed of herself. (tisk tisk).  Good thing that pygmy family didnt work out! (Phew) So relieved.

You know what, I hear she forced her son to be an actor so she could get her name mentioned more. Tickled him with a feather duster for days on end until he relented. She made him promise to have her name printed on the front of all his plaid shirts.  Then leaked into the press so she could get her name mentioned in a "Star" article called "Fun things to do with Plaid"

This is fun!

Holy sh**t! Are there not moderators supervising this board? No dignified discussion on New York real estate here.

Glad someone noticed. LOL

There are moderators and we read every post, every day. For various reasons people seem to take John's personal relationships a little more personal than they probably warrant.

We try not to squash people expressing their opinions, good bad or indifferent here, as long as they at least try to be respectful to the others involved in the conversations.

We didn't remove that comment about In The Cut because we know the author should have used the word "nude scene" rather than the phrase they used.

Probably?? lol


Oh is that what geegee meant?
ITA though... how dare MR do a nude/sex to get attention, its not not like mainsteam actresses do it all the time or anything. tsk tsk.

Alas Sweet Democracy! It's uplifting to know that I may may make wretched, disrespectful insults to anyone in his loving entourage, him, his family or Ms. Ryan. Yet not be stiffled or reprimanded.  Just as long as I am not wretched or disrespectful to the other posters.

 What is needed is a lone thread with the definition of "respect" located within. Since some here are unfamiliar with the word. Any takers?

I agree, people have a right to their opinion good or bad as long as its tastefully done. But some people put these celebs on pedestals then ridicule others who feel differently. I do not agree with that. So I guess let the chips or pedestals fall where they may.

I know one day John will find happiness because God is watching over him.
 ;D

Lmao. Pretty sure NYorker was being sarcastic. As in ridicule.

 

Yeah, he is miserable right now. what a horrible life!

This is fun!

He entitled to his opinion.  8)

By the way, Mike's interview was nice, thanks for sharing it.

Who JM dates is none of our (his fans) business.  Same as what happened within his marriage(s) is none of our business.

  It's time to butt out of his personal life people.

I absolutely concur with you. Ironically, that is exactly the response I was anticipating from our moderators. As a call to peace and civility. Yet, got the opposite.


I see nothing tasteful about some of the insolent remarks made in some posts here.
Judging others is a complete waste of time and precious energy. Per the bible says?

I agree.  People make comments everyday whether they like something or not its their opinion and leave it at that.

bless you. And Her's

no mellenfan  me and slm1206 are not the same people. try checking out the dates that we signed up on this forum.

Hey GeeGee, it's kind of funny that some people want our comments "policed" by the moderators, but their comments, especially the judgements, should be allowed.  Look up the word opinion!!! ::) GeeGee and I just seem to be like minded.
And PLEASE, keep the bible out of this! ;D
My comments are consistent...I love JM and his work (always have), Elaine is a class act (always has been), and I have NEVER liked Meg Ryan (disliked her way before JM & MR). Yes, it's my opinion and I have a right to it.   8)

You both are soooo right. 8)

There is a difference between sharing your personal opinion and telling lies, pretending as if they were opinions, though.

But that's okay, my guess is most people here are smart enough to tell the difference.

I also would love for the real John Mellencamp to have a chance to see what some of his 'fans' have to say - whether it's a personal opnion or lies - about the two main women (woman and a little girl really) in his life. My guess is he'd have a big laugh about it since all this has nothing to do with his real life.  :D

His sons and daughters and his dad are the most important ones in his life. That is the truth.

I can understand someone never liking Madonna, but i can't for the life of me understand why anyone would dislike Meg Ryan, as a red blooded American male i envy John, he's got great taste in ladies.

Opinions and insults at two different animals:

Opinion: A view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge:
 A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof


Insult: speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse: treat or speak of  with contemptuous rudeness

 

Sheila, you misread my post or perhaps I was not clear enough. I'm sure John’s kids are the most important people in his life, and no doubt – fact – that Meg Ryan’s two kids are the most important people in her life too. But it’s also a fact that John has been spending a great deal of his time with Meg Ryan and her young daughter, more so than with his own daughters. That’s not so strange of course, since his daughters are all grown up. It doesn’t mean his own daughters are less important, of course not.

I understand what you are saying Rhonda, and I ment no disrespect to you or anyone else. I have a difference of opinion of Meg and their relationship and that's all. But because of that I do not feel it's right to slam anybody because they do not agree with someone.
I know there a few out there who like to cause trouble but oh well.
I have been a long time fan of John's, and I know he is aware there are fans that care about him and have been devoted fans a long time. He does respects other people's opinions whether he likes it or not.  I would hope so does his fans.

Peace to all.

 ;D

Of The article just gave the names of the famous brokers.

i understand what your saying slm1206. this is a pretty outspoken forum. but isnt that the way John is? and if anyone is offensive in posting, then explain to me why they dont bleep out "F" word when john says it in his talks. which i think using that word is cheap talk anyways. i have been a long time fan of johns. but since he hooked up with meg, he dont look to good. i wonder if he thinks if he did the right thing letting go of elaine and his marriage. i really believe johns still in love with her and always will be. im rootin for them to get back together. i sure hope they do. i really believe what that old drummer said in johns bio that when he mentioned to him that he found the girl he always been lookin for and he was gona stay married to her forever deep in johns heart, i still believe to be true inside him
and tonyb your comment that some of us take johns relationships a little more personal than probably warranted, i dont think so, i feel we want to see john happy and make good decisions not bad ones.

i wouldnt call meg a good choice,  however he cant seem to keep a gal  ::)
