A new, ocean-view Crystal Cove mansion has come to the market as the priciest residence listed in Orange County.

The 15,500-square-foot, seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom house, completed this year, is for sale at just under $70 million.

Initially, he intended it as his residence. But with his children grown and frequent business travel, the house no longer fit his family.

The front door opens on a spacious foyer with two staircases and a custom stained-glass dome designed in collaboration with Judson Studios , the oldest family-run stained glass studio in the United States founded in 1897. Highlights of the dome, called “The Eye of the Phoenix,” include a Swarovski crystal-encrusted “eye” and gold-infused hanging pendants.

This isn't the first time Banks addressed the students at Immaculate Heart. Last year, the businesswoman contributed a special video message for the high school's virtual graduation celebration for its class of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic .

Since 1906, Immaculate Heart High School and Middle School has educated young women in grades 6-12 on its campus in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A.. Currently, there are approximately 550 students enrolled in the high school.

Banks, who is mom to a five-year-old son named York , is hardly the only famous alum of Immaculate Heart. Other celebs who got their start at the private, Catholic college preparatory include Meghan Markle , TV icon, Mary Tyler Moore , Grown-ish star Yara Shahidi and Fifty Shades Of Grey actress Dakota Johnson .

Banks made history as the first woman of African-American descent to be featured on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue , on which she appeared three times. By the early 2000s, the 5'10" beauty was one of the world's top-earning models and changed the face of reality TV competition shows with America's Next Top Model .

Pose Finale: How It Changed the Culture, Onscreen and Off | Time

Like all of the show’s greatest set pieces, it was a stunning fusion of high artifice and deeply felt emotion. I sobbed all the way through the ceremony, and the tears—happy, sad, just generally verklempt —kept flowing as I screened the two-hour finale that will air on June 6. Pose has never been pristine prestige television; co-creator Ryan Murphy is too fond of spectacle and of melodrama and of using characters to painstakingly articulate big ideas for that. Rushed, overstuffed and plagued by plot holes, this year’s third and final season was easily its weakest. Yet for all its cringey lines, this series about queer men and trans women of color forming chosen families within New York’s ’80s and ’90s ball culture never stopped hitting me hard in the heart. Besides, Pose ’s legacy reaches far beyond the revolutionary story it’s been telling, to the very center of pop culture.

Of course, one show could never entirely fix an entertainment industry that still too often stereotypes queer and nonwhite characters, and one whose earnest efforts at trans inclusion began less than a decade ago. There is still plenty of work to be done when it comes to intersectional depictions of the LGBTQ community in pop culture; the need for more trans creators with broad platforms and more stories about trans men is real. But to the extent that Hollywood is finally learning that trans people—and trans communities—contain multitudes, Pose deserves much of the credit.

Josie Totah says meeting Jazz Jennings was a reaffirming experience

Today, other notable LGBTQ names look to the "I Am Jazz" star as a role model — even though she may be the same age as them.

"I distinctly remember feeling so connected to someone that felt so far away and yet very, very close to me," Josie Totah, the 19-year-old actress, who is starring on the "Saved by the Bell" reboot , told Variety for a Pride Month profile on Jennings.

Totah says that "I Am Jazz," the popular TLC reality show centered around Jennings and her family, was "a touch point and a resource" as Totah began her own transition at the age of 17.

For Jennings, learning of her impact through the experiences of others was pivotal in accepting her own journey in the spotlight.

"I was learning that there were a lot of other kids like me out there who can relate to me, and who saw me, and learned more about themselves through seeing me and my experience," Jennings explained. "Once I learned about it in that way, I was like, 'OK, that's pretty cool.'"

Jennings returns to the spotlight next year. After an extended hiatus, "I Am Jazz" will return for a seventh season that begins filming this summer.

Cherry: A Veteran's Journey

Capitol Hill resident Anchyi Wei made history earlier this month when she took home the Mrs. DC America sash and became the first Chinese American woman to win the title in 19 years.

When you enter a challenge war with John Oliver, you best be ready to finish it, because the late-night host is almost surely going to take it too far. And that's exactly what he did with a challenge given to him by Cheerios. Over the weekend, Oliver released a new segment that was quite literally just a 7-minute rant about cereal. In it, the host specifically called out Cheerios for having a boring Twitter account. So, Oliver challenged the brand to spice things up by tweeting "F— you." If they

YouTube eating sensation Raina Huang visited StevO's Pizza n Ribs in Aurora, Colorado, in order to film herself tackling that restaurant's OMG 28" eating challenge for her YouTube channel. Huang and a friend planned to conquer a 28" pizza within an hour; the prize was not only a full (and probably sore) belly, but also $100. And of course internet fame. But the owner, Steve Wieand, wasn't buying it. He accused Huang of being a professional competitor and a scammer, and he kicked her out of the r

In a recent Instagram snap taken "somewhere in America," Carole Radziwill kicked her summer off in style. And in the process, she showed off more of her incredible swimsuit collection. With an American flag behind her, The Real Housewives of New York City alum wore a chic, navy-blue swimsuit from Gigi C. "Hope everyone is having a great start to hot girl summer 2021. Rain or shine," the author wrote, hashtagging Memorial Day Weekend. The moment Carole captured happened to be a shiny one, and she

Her new waist-length red hair is giving Jessica Rabbit. It's giving Cady Heron. It's giving princess Ariel.

Raina Huang, a YouTuber famous for traveling across the country and taking on food challenges, was kicked out of a restaurant in Aurora, Colo., after she was accused of being a scammer. Partial surveillance footage shows the owner, Steve Wieand, asking Huang if she's a professional eater when the YouTuber asked for the challenge. Huang told the owner she had done several challenges in the past, which she uploads videos of to her YouTube channel.

Days after Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had a romantic date night in West Hollywood, Calif., E! News has the PDA photos that will have fans on the floor.

The pastel pastiche is easy on the eyes, and so is the pin-up girl tracing twirls as a guitar strums the city's hymn: "The Girl from Ipanema." "Let me tell you 'bout a different Rio / The one I'm from, but not the one that you know," Brazil's biggest pop star, Anitta, sings over a trap beat. It's the latest twist on the placid Bossa Nova song that, more than a half-century after its creation by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, still isn't played out — and continues to feed foreigners' captivation.

High school junior Megha Ganne shot a 4-under 67 on Thursday to become the first amateur in 15 years to have a share of the lead after any round at the U.S. Women's Open. The 17-year-old from New Jersey made back-to-back birdies on the back nine to take sole possession of the lead before making bogey on the 18th hole to end the day in a tie with Mel Reid on the Lake Course at the Olympic Club. Ganne became the first amateur to lead after a round at the women's Open since Jane Park did it after one round at Newport Country Club in 2006.
