I don't like the green trim. It's very central Jersey.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's making $60k an episode.

I'm guessing the interior shots are generic, real estate sort of shots to give an idea of how the house would look furnished. Considering how... not warm or lived in it, and immaculately clean and decorated it looks.

Anyone who watches 30 seconds of HGTV knows that this house is 'staged' to sell. Sabrina Soto would be proud.

And anyone who lives in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California, at least, should be aware that even with the current economic crisis, 1.19 million for a house is not a lot of money.

Ask your parents what your house is worth.

In response to how much he makes.. the show is on Fox...so not as much as if he were in another network. His current contract was drawn before the show was this huge hit. ( even though I am sure at the end of this season it is being renegotiated). And you will find that most younger working "celebish" actors live in spacious but modest homes. As D2 could probably tell you.. most of them prefer to live in more normal communities such as Studio City , Marina Del Rey, or Sherman Oaks as opposed to Beverly Hills and Malibu.

"If you pursue a career that involves being watched by large numbers of people, can you really say "Now you may look at me; now you may not; this is what you may say about me; this you may not?""

Uhm, no. When an actor signs a contract for a show, it says nothing in that contract that his personal life is now open to anyone who wants to view it. Or that he has to be nice to anyone at the stage door after a show.

Are you saying that because he's now on TV, that his private life is now fair game? Do you feel that way about EVERY actor, like the ones on Broadway? Do you think that every actor should now post pictures of their homes, talk about their sex lives and give you intimate details about their private lives, just because they've chosen acting as a profession?

No.

Because it's none of your business.

If he chooses to be straight, let him be straight. I just don't need his sexual preferences front and center like this.

Why are there no curtains on the windows?

Iam sure the house is getting a entire remake once he moves in. If he is not gay ( and I do wish it for him.. but not everyone is born into fabulesness) then I am sure he has one or two queens around that can help.

"Why are there no curtains on the windows?"

Curtains are a big no-no in a staged home. Shears maybe, at best. People always have a strong opinion about curtains, and when you're decorating to sell, you don't want any items in the home that elicit a strong opinion.

That's why the furniture here is sparse, classy (not to me, but some), generic, monochromatic, 6-star hotel crap. There's not a personal item in the joint or anything that reflects a personality of any kind. Stagers want you to look at the home, not the interior design. They want you to picture your things in it during a walk-through, so NO distractions allowed.

And it works!

But I was laughing at those who thought this was Morrison's own furniture. Yes, people are always buying houses in L.A. with all of their own furniture already in them. They're totally psychic that way.

The exterior looks like one of the Charles Manson shacks.

And in the upper left corner, it looks like there's another house behind the trees. Is that a papparazzi hut?

Theatrediva, I said what I intended to say, and (I think) quite clearly.

If your chosen livelihood involves putting yourself on display, you are going to have people wanting to look at you at times when you don't want to be looked at, and knowing more things about you than you may want to reveal.

This applies to ALL public figures - actors, politicians, sports stars, American Idol contestants, etc., etc., etc.

You can say "their private life is none of your business" all the livelong day, but it is now, and has always been, a condition of celebrity. To pursue such a profession while claiming antipathy to that aspect of the profession is self-deceptive and disingenuous.

Very antiseptic. Screams "I have absolutely no interests whatsoever."

As for what he makes an epi, who knows?

I nearly wept when I heard that that unattractive, unamusing youngest kid of Patricia Heaton (the one who can't move his head without moving his shoulders) from the unattractive, anamusing sitcom THE MIDDLE makes $20,000 an episode.

I recently read that the actor who plays the principal makes more per episode than any of the actors playing students. Their contracts are non-negotiable for the next 2 seasons.

'Very antiseptic. Screams "I have absolutely no interests whatsoever."'

Bubbe, that's the staging decor. Not Morrison's. Unless he bought the house with the furnishings.

As for what that kid makes an episode, that is not in the least surprising. I think the general minimum for series regular (if you are fresh out of nowhere and can't negotiate more) is around $15k an episode. At least at the big three.

Are you kidding me, Phyllis? I hope we can all agree that homosexuality is not a choice. And if that is true, than neither is heterosexuality. Stop trying to create this double standard.

Everyone has a right to live how they want. I just don't think they should flaunt their lifestyles.

I hate seeing straight people hold hands or, God forbid, kiss on the lips in public. It's perverted and sick.

Phyllis, as my grandmother used to say: "First time is funny. Second time is silly. And third time is a spanking."
