For the record, we're pretty much tuning out the juicy gossip blog rumor mill and tabloid speculation about Brad Pitt's split with Angelina Jolie. However, one standout item recently caught our attention. According to a report in yesterday's London Daily Mail, Pitt discretely purchased a $1.13 million bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills. The price appears to be relatively low for a movie star who can ask for at least $20 million a film. In the meantime, the Real Estalker, one of the biggest celebrity real estate blogs, is also skeptical about the purchase and we're not entirely sure if the Daily Mail's report has any validity.

Usually we don't care about the real estate transactions of Hollywood's rich and famous. However, if the reports about Pitt's new Hollywood bungalow are true, the property's most outstanding and coveted feature is an impressive man cave. According to Curbed LA, the property was a speakeasy in the 1920s. The house was built during the Jazz Age and a cave was installed into its foundation. This is presumably where copious amounts of bootlegged booze were stashed during Prohibition. The house also has a bar and a huge stone fireplace. We can easily envision Pitt pimping out his new subterranean grotto with a pool table, a dart board, and home theater. On the same note, it's also not difficult to imagine Pitt kicking back with George Clooney and the rest of the "Oceans 11" crew over late-night cigars and scotch in his bona fide basement watering hole.

Every property-owning Bro's post-college digs should have a some sort of man cave: a sanctuary -- or mantuary -- dedicated to masculine awesomeness. It is a necessary refuge for drama-free existence from the mundane 9-to-5 world.

The man cave is the grown-up, suburban equivalent of the bachelor pad and often associated with married, middle-age men who want to ensure domestic tranquility while cohabitating with a female in the homestead. Once known as a den, the man cave is usually a subterranean lair where bros can be bros like they were in college without the interference of domestic obligations like girlfriends, wives, and horribly tedious household chores. Essentially, it is a dedicated and practical pleasure chamber where you can rip a methane bomb, pack a dip, shot-gun a beer, make illogical bets on point spreads, play poker, eat grilled meats, discuss bedroom conquests, and scratch your ball sack without judgment or interference well into your golden years.  Keep Reading »
