John Moving to NYC?

[walktall2010]

Ryan’s hope



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....

[sheilafarmer]

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.

[Mellenfan71]

 ;)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!

I wonder who tells these people that she is looking to buy!?

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.

[Rhonda2]

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? 

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.

[sheilafarmer]

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

[geegee]

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.

[Mellenfan71]

I agree with Rhonda. A lot of money and not own it is a waste.

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

[geegee]

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!!!!

[slm1206]

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!"

[Mellenfan71]

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

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!
