good to see you in Hollywood all right
6:20
anybody see any cops around nope okay
6:24
we're gonna start at the tour it's an
6:25
illegal U-turn starting off
6:31
do I lie he wasn't kidding
6:43
Street and leave Hollywood Boulevard and
6:43
go up Sycamore Avenue
6:44
see right up to the end of the street
6:46
too
6:47
uh Franklin Avenue we get to Franklin
6:50
Avenue we'll make a left turn
6:52
and then we're almost pretty much
6:53
immediately gonna make a right turn uh
6:55
onto a Canyon Road called Outpost
7:04
without a mount about a mile climb up to
7:04
the top
7:07
I told you we're going to be seeing the
7:07
Hollywood sign in about five minutes
7:09
from now
7:10
very very very close yeah different uh
7:13
areas with whatever cities and
7:16
communities happen to be down below
7:18
but they're close to each other if you
7:20
want to connect them
7:27
sitting in a circle
7:27
on this Loop that I'm
7:31
going to Holland Drive
7:31
in about a dozen seconds you're gonna
7:34
see the Hollywood sign
7:36
and we're getting a better view about
7:38
buscannon right up here where the sun
7:40
not as many uh trees bushes and Ivy but
7:44
what we're gonna do is we're gonna go
7:45
see the Hollywood Sign just
7:47
up here a little further we're gonna
7:49
curve around to the left and it'll show
7:50
up and we're going to come back here in
7:52
a few minutes and then I'll pull over to
7:54
the side of the road and explain to you
7:55
what's down below
7:56
an outpost Canyon but over here to the
7:59
right two o'clock there's the Hollywood
8:01
Sign here's the deal
8:04
there's road signs here you see
8:06
a lot of Arrow Signs but also no
8:09
stopping any time signs
8:14
pulling over the side of the road could
8:15
get me an expensive ticket so here's
8:16
what I do I drive down a little further
8:18
about
8:20
a quarter mile 30 seconds further and do
8:23
a U-turn pull from the outside of the
8:24
road to the inside of the road oh that
8:25
doesn't have a road sign and it allows
8:27
me to park with not worrying about
8:29
getting an expensive ticket but you'll
8:31
get a good view looking over to the left
8:32
well it'll be on the left side when we
8:34
turn around
8:41
and uh well it's as close as we're
8:41
allowed to go to the Hollywood sign for
8:43
right here at this spot
8:45
it's about a mile away but it's good
8:47
enough to get some good pictures with
8:50
your camera phones and I pull here to
8:51
the side you look over to the left at 8
8:53
30. get some pictures
8:55
and it's the Hollywood freeway is down
8:57
below we used to cross over the other
8:58
side
9:09
people live over there and those homes
9:09
complain about the traffic so the city
9:11
to their benefit put up road signs that
9:13
say no commercial vehicles
9:16
allowed up in that area it's celebrating
9:19
for the first time a three-digit
9:20
birthday one zero zero 100 years old
9:23
look over to your left you see downtown
9:24
Los Angeles back out there but it's
9:26
cleared up quite a bit since the last
9:29
tour I did a couple hours ago
9:32
I got a car behind me so I gotta keep
9:33
moving sorry
9:50
and we're gonna climb up to the top and
9:50
curve to the right and then head West
9:53
amazing
10:04
is what we drove up earlier Outpost
10:04
Canyon in the middle of vampires Canyon
10:06
or a bunch of homes
10:13
a bunch of homes that sit on a hill on a
10:13
ridge in the middle of our post Canyon
10:16
and they lead right down to this one
10:17
house over to the left that's off uh at
10:21
the lower end by itself as an infinity
10:23
pool
10:24
that is a home of
10:26
Jennifer Lopez JLo
10:28

10:30
picked it up over 15 years ago

10:34
valued around 12 13 million dollars now
10:36
Jennifer Lopez has homes all over all
10:39
around the world around the planet but
10:41
that's her Southern California Los
10:42
Angeles Hollywood Hills Local at the
10:45
very top of the view as far out as you
10:47
can see on the horizon is where the
10:48
Pacific Ocean is there's some hazy uh
10:51
smog out there can't see it today but
10:59
couples drive not going back down there
10:59
you see we're gonna stay up here for a
11:02
while yeah
11:16
six years old now so it's still pretty
11:16
recent pretty new estimated at a cost of
11:19
22 million dollars that's the Hollywood
11:21
Hills Home of singer Katy Perry up top
11:24
there
11:24
in and over to the left at 10 o'clock as
11:26
a sign up on a gate it says Runyan
11:28
Canyon Park and you see to the left of
11:30
that sign and the entrance exit to go in
11:32
and out of running Canyon Park
11:34
and uh well this is uh where over the
11:38
years people have come up here to
11:39
exercise you get lots of hikers joggers
11:42
Runners dog owners
11:44
I don't know how many people are inside
11:45
here because there's a parking area
11:47
right over there in the dirt but it's
11:48
closed right now
11:50
and it's not so busy up here but I'm
11:52
sure there's a lot more cows there's a
11:54
black driveway gate that's open there up
11:56
there and written on the driveway why
11:58
was the word Sunshine for close to 20
12:01
years almost 20 years this was the home
12:03
of Britney Spears in front of us Britney
12:05
Spears she looked her up until about
12:07
five or six years ago and then she moved
12:08
away to go somewhere else if you realize
12:10
a big broad panoramic view looking
12:12
Northwest
12:20
how big the valley is uh
12:20
there's a bit of smog out there towards
12:21
the back end
12:27
and sometimes well the View's not very
12:27
great today but it's not
12:29
as bad as it could be there could be
12:30
many times there have been many times
12:32
where I've been up here and the smog was
12:34
so thick and heavy you couldn't see the
12:35
mountains that surround the whole valley
12:37
so the view could be better but it could
12:39
be worse a lot worse
12:44
but at night time it's always prettiest
12:44
why because when the Sun goes down all
12:45
the city lights get turned on
12:48
the different buildings businesses and
12:49
homes hundreds of thousands of beautiful
12:51
colored lines in the nighttime sky
13:08
got some older houses and across from
13:09
the homes there's a park with hiking
13:11
trails that go down the mountain
13:13
to the
13:14
right side outside down below the North
13:19
the north side of this mountain here
13:21
to the valley please
13:23
and I'll show you and tell you who is
13:25
where when we get there in about 10
13:27
minutes from now and you're getting much
13:30
closer
13:44
you can take a lot of pictures a bunch
13:44
of pictures with your camera phones very
13:48
very soon
14:03
all right we're officially in Beverly
14:03
Hills what we're gonna do we're gonna
14:05
cross over this uh red light here when
14:07
it turns green and the next street
14:08
coming up is called Shadow Hill Way
14:11
that's where we're going to turn gonna
14:12
go into some neighborhoods
14:15
and see who lives where
14:33
okay I want you to take your attention
14:33
here to the right
14:34
to this modern looking gray and
14:36
off-white colored home here 10 21.
14:39
Shadow Hill Way being the uh the address
14:41
the thing is about this house is uh
14:44
that's about four or five years old kind
14:46
of recent you can only see the home up
14:49
the driveway everything else on the side
14:51
is covered up with trees bushes ivy for
14:53
privacy because that's the way the owner
14:56
wants it well who is that the owner
14:58

15:01
this is his Beverly Hills home here to

15:11
the seaside community of Malibu
15:14
about 25 30 miles Northwest of here is
15:16
ocean home
15:17
and I think he spends more time there
15:19
than he does here is Beverly Hills I'm
15:21
at his beach home
15:33
over here to the left is a single story
15:34
home that belongs to an actress who
15:36
really lives most of the time somewhere
15:38
outside of Austin Texas out there she's
15:40
got a lot more property lives on a big
15:42
Ranch and a lot more privacy
15:45
prefers to be out there than here
15:47
but keeps this place here to the left
15:49
for when she needs to come out for any
15:51
business or work
15:53

16:36
it sold a popular singer Bruno Mars and
16:38
Bruno has other homes around well the
16:41
world
16:42
he didn't move in immediately because uh
16:44
almost two years ago
16:46
it's been undergoing a big renovation a
16:48
big remodel big uh modernizing a lot of
16:51
work has gone on into it over the past
16:53
several months past year
16:55

16:57
finished
17:03
directly in front of us is a house with
17:03
a lot of palm trees in the front yard
17:10

immense light rock with big glass window

walls address 1159
17:53
I don't know who lives there but I've
17:55
been driving up and around here about
17:56
seven eight years and I've noticed over
17:59
time that this place has often been used
18:00
for filming purposes in the last seven
18:03
or so years and uh well they call those
18:06
picture houses when places are often
18:08
used like this one and I think the
18:10
reason it's been used so much is because
18:12
it's not only modern modern it's a very
18:15
unique looks different than the other
18:16
homes around in the neighborhood and
18:18
area here to the leftist red brick house
