Drake’s mansion could be what destroys us

Drake’s Toronto mansion looks like a casino and cruise had a baby together but Ian really likes it.

Here’s a closer look at today’s stories:

Drake is showing off his extravagant 50,000 sq ft mansion dubbed “The Embassy” — complete with a 4,000 lb. black marble tub and NBA regulation basketball court.

The 33-year-old superstar graces the cover of Architectural Digest for the tour of his multi-million dollar mansion, which also features a one-ton bed and bed base in his 3,200 sq ft master suite, made by Hästens, the official supplier to the Swedish Royal Court.

The “God’s Plan” singer made his home in Toronto and told AD, “Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel.

“It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong,” he added.

He hired Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli, who was not afraid to go big or go home – using bronze, exotic woods and limestone.

Drake insisted: “It’s overwhelming high luxury. That message is delivered through the size of the rooms and the materials and details of the floors and the ceilings.

“I wanted to make sure people can see the work I’ve put in over the years reflected from every vantage point.”

Rafauli added: “This isn’t stucco, paint, and fake gold. That’s not what Drake wanted, and that’s not what I do.”

Tom Brady had to adapt when Gisele Bündchen ‘wasn’t satisfied with our marriage’

Tom Brady cautioned listeners Wednesday not to judge a book by its cover, especially when said cover is wife Gisele Bündchen.

When asked about his relationship with the Brazilian-born model, Brady told Howard Stern during his SiriusXM interview his spouse of 11 years is “different” from what the public perceives.

“She’s probably very different than how people would probably see her, what’s been portrayed as a fashion model,” Brady said, noting the 39-year-old stunner is a very “spiritual woman.”

Bündchen, who practices meditation, “believes in trying to heal herself,” according to Brady. And while the couple emulates the idea of a picture-perfect unit — which includes Brady’s son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan, in addition to their two kids, daughter Vivian and son Benjamin — like most marriages, theirs too has evolved.

“There was a couple years ago, she didn’t feel I was doing my part for the family,” Brady said. “She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all the sudden when the season would end, that I’d be like, ‘Great, let me get into all my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.’ And she’s sitting there going, ‘Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?’”

Brady said he had to “check [himself],” and made a “big transition” two years ago to get things back on track. That included skipping OTA practices with the Patriots that pepper the latter parts of the offseason.

“She wasn’t satisfied with our marriage,” Brady said. “So I needed to make a change in that.”

Naomi Watts documents quarantine meltdown as appliances break on same day


Naomi Watts is having a case of the Mondays on a quarantine Tuesday.

Taking to Instagram, the 51-year-old actress documented her indoor meltdown as multiple appliances bit the dust in the same 24-hour period.

“Quarantine Day #756: When your printer, vacuum cleaner and dishwasher all break in the same day…. #ffs,” Watts captioned the Instagram clip, dubbing her voice as a Godzilla-like monster.

After Julianne Moore called the update “bad news,” Watts replied: “Not a good day.”

Cristina Cuomo, the wife of coronavirus-stricken Chris Cuomo, also responded: “I feel you.”

Watts has been keeping her 1.3 million followers up to date on her quarantine activities amid the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, she shared a “pro tip” about eating in-house.

“Quarantine PROTIP: EAT your feelings…,” she posted while nibbling on a cake.
