Manolo says, you may be certain that someone’s agent, PR person, personal assistant, chef, yoga instructor, and pets will pay for this.

California Fire Coverage: Save the Soaps! (Defamer)

Manolo says, the Manolo, who spends part of each year living in the ‘Bu, watched with distress yesterday as the Malibu Canyon Fire crept perilously close to his summer place.

Happily for the Manolo, disaster was averted. Sadly, this was not the case for the owners of the Malibu’s famous Kashan Castle, which was burned to the ground by the fast moving fire. Disastrously, the castle was said to be in escrow, with the final walk through to be conducted this Wednesday.

Malibu Castle, which perished in today’s fire, was actually in Escrow and set to have the final walk-through on Wednesday.

The deal was expected to close this Friday, and while the final selling price can’t be confirmed, it had an asking price of $17 million.

This is especially bad news for celebrity realtor, Scotty Brown, one of the stars of Bravo TV’s reality show, Million Dollar Listing, who had the listing on this very expensive piece of property.

Described by selling agent Scotty Brown as a “real entertainer’s paradise for the truly unique”, The Castle in Malibu sits on its own private knoll, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There are six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, garaging for eight cars and a pool.

The Manolo is especially sorry to hear this, as he once spent the very pleasant afternoon chatting amiably with Scotty, whom he found to be the perfect example of the hail-fellow-well-met.
