Words to Live By

Montecito actor Rob Lowe is at work on his third book.

The working title for his next tome is What Do I Know? A Guide to Living which he hopes will land him in the self-help section at the bookstore.

“It’s my truisms, what I found to work, what I found to not work, what I’ve observed, what I think,” he shared in an interview with AARP’s latest magazine.

House on the Market

SiriusXM host Dr. Laura Schlessinger is parting ways with her longtime Santa Barbara estate, listing it for $23 million.

The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 8,788 square feet home sits on 3.75 acres of rare, mostly flat terrain – an uncommon luxury in our rarefied enclave.

Resort level amenities include a championship tennis court, pickle ball court, pool and spa, a meditative koi pond with waterfalls, and a private perimeter trail.

The longtime radio host, who was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, is a keen yachtswoman and she revealed that proceeds from the sale will help fund her crew’s races in Europe.

Coming Together at Anchor Rose

The amazons were out in force at Anchor Rose on the harbor when Girls Inc. of Carpinteria and Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara gathered with 90 guests for “Girls Inc. Together” – combining forces to help the popular organizations.

Cydney Justman and Aubry Watkins described “combining” as strength, and they looked forward to doing similar events together going forward.

“We’re near each other geographically, so it makes good sense,” said Watkins.

Child Support

Montecito comedienne Carol Burnett has discussed the special relationship she had with the late
Lucille Ball.

Carol, 92, says Ball “greatly influenced” her. “She came to see me in Once Upon a Mattress which was my first Broadway break. And “she came to see me the second night.”

The pair hit it off after Ball gave Carol supportive advice backstage.

“She called me ‘Kid’ – she was 22 years older than I was – and said ‘Kid, if you need anything give me a call.’”

Ball died at 77 on April 26, 1989, which was Carol’s 56th birthday.

Despite her passing, her birthday gift to Carol was still delivered. “That afternoon I got flowers from her saying, ‘Happy Birthday Kid.’”

Parenting Tips

Gwyneth Paltrow has commented on her parenting style.

The Oscar winner, 52, discussed raising her two kids by rocker Chris Martin – daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19 – revealing she encourages them to do what’s “true to themselves” even if she “doesn’t agree with it.”

“I think I really encourage them to be true to themselves and to do what feels right to them,” she tells People.

“I think all mistakes I made were being talked into or out of something. I really want them, even if I don’t agree with it, I want them to be really true to their idea of their purpose and their individuality.

“Apple still has another year of college, so, you know – I’m like right, soak it in, and you know, it goes really fast,” Paltrow added.
