Singer Sheryl Crow has become the latest celebrity to get caught in the real estate crash. She can’t sell her sprawling Nashville mansion, so she has gone to the extreme — putting it up for auction at a bargain basement price.

Like so many stars who made it big, Crow splurged on huge house with top of the line features. But since the real estate market crash, they have become white elephants.

Now Crow’s house is bargain priced. The bidding has topped out at $1.1 million with the online auction set to end Nov. 24.

Her first CD was great. Supposedly, she wrote all the songs. There were rumors of a co-writer that wasn’t credited. She hasn’t written anything near the caliber of the first CD since that time (at least, from what I’ve heard) and have resorted to doing covers.

What really irritated me was seeing a video of her singing a Carter family gospel song (can’t remember which one now) on the Gospel Music Channel. What qualifies her to sing gospel???

Ok, done now.

“hypocritically stupid”... Exactly. I call it smug imbecility. Look at the compact florescent light bulb idiocy. They ban the incandescent bulb and push the mercury-filled junk upon us.

Sheryl Crow does not practice what she preaches. That’s because she thinks she is important and above us “little people.”

Solar farm? Does that mean the land is covered in solar panels? Not visible in that shot but who knows what that means.

Why does she need to sell? I thought she had enough money to last her a lifetime.

That's the real, unspoken story, isn't it?

At least she’ll save a bundle on toilet paper.

Most of the glitteratti know each other, and just like the Maddoff scheme hit many in the upper crust cirlcles, I'd bet a few rolls of tp that Crow had money invested with Bono's investment group Elevation Partners
I saw a news clip a while back that said they had the WORST investment savvy ever seen....losing cash by the boat-load. I wonder if Crow had any money there?

I think she lied about using only ONE SHEET of toilet paper per bathroom session. Have you seen the price of TP lately?

In addition, have you noticed that the size of TP is shrinking?

During the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644 AD), it was recorded in 1393 that 720,000 sheets of toilet paper (two by three feet in size) were produced for the general use of the Imperial court at the capital of Nanjing.

Ok, well, maybe historical shrinkage is pretty drastic, but just in the last few months, the length of the rolls (measured from end to end of the cardboard tube) has shrunk by about half an inch. Plus, fewer sheets are being put on each roll. I looked for a picture to link, but couldn't find one. I had found a whole website (with pics) dedicated to the recent shrinkage of various products, but don't remember what it's called.

I wonder if Sheryl Crow is still able to get away with using a single sheet? I can't say I have any sympathy for her. The annoying nature of her singing was second only to that of Alanis Morrisett--who would never have gained any kind of fame in a rational world.

Sure it’s beautiful but just think of her energy bills every month. I have houses like that going up all around me and that is all I can think of when I see one of them. I saw one under construction yesterday and it looks like a fancy apartment complex or a hospital or a 3 story office complex (HUGE)...... but it isn’t, it’s a residence!

Many of the greenies are just like her. The only exception I can think of was the Una bomber and Ed Bagley(sp?)Jr. at least Ed lives what he preaches.

It was earlier reported in May that the singer had tried to sell the property for $7.5 million, but she didn't get any takers.

.... Now the price is down to $1.1 million USD

I bet the toilets haven’t been flushed in years just to save the planet.

“Willy Nelson was nuts too but he could sing. “

I beg to differ. Willy is a great songwriter, and really interprets songs well. But a good voice? Not. It’s an annoying voice! He’s sort of the Hoagy Carmichael of our era. Wonderful stuff, so you overlook the nasal twang, and enjoy him anyway. I do like a lot of Willy’s recorded material though. Oh! and don’t forget Bob Dylan. Same kinda deal,,,,,,,,

And Crow? Probably poots out a little black marble once a week!

Wonder if she’ll include the toilet paper.

I understand she buys 1 ply, standard size rolls at the dollar store. I won’t be bidding.

So this loudmouth lib owned at least two mansions as of a couple of days ago. How does she have the gall to run her mouth about the carbon footprint us average slobs leave? I hope she has more reality checks coming her way because she’s way over the line.
