InfoStar’s Offices will be CLOSED for the End of the World and Judgment Day

Remember last May when preacher Harold Camping declared the end of the World would occur on May 21, 2011?

Well, that day has come and gone and now the 90-year-old evangelist says his original calculations were off by a few months and the real date is October 21, 2011.

That’s TODAY! The Rapture is today!

And a funny thing happened this morning…….

San Francisco California starting getting hit with several small, but growing earthquakes on the 22nd anniversary of the devastating Loma Prieta quake that hit in 1989.

The Bible says the end of the world will end with a huge earthquake.

And in Southwest Florida the red tide has caused several large fish kills that are now attracting flies and migrating locusts.

We suspect by mid-day the locusts will start moving west while aggressively multiplying.

We all know what the bible says about locusts? Right?

So, okay – we see the handwriting on the wall.

Harold Camping's Rapture
In light of these, and future events, InfoStar has decided to CLOSE OUR OFFICES for the day and will reopen on Monday morning assuming we are still here.

We just don’t want our employees to have to fight the traffic, lines at the bank and gas stations, etc., just because everybody else waited until the last minute to deal with their impending judgment.

PLEASE – if you have any food items in the refrigerator take it with you when you leave for the weekend and don’t leave any food in your offices overnight.

We all remember what happened when nerd Terry left that egg salad sandwich behind the filing cabinet.

We just think it is best if we close our doors for the weekend just in case something does happen. We really aren’t equipped to handle something like Armageddon during normal business hours.

And if this is the Rapture, then Satan's going to be really pissed and there's no telling what he will do over the weekend.

Besides, we don’t have a wheelchair ramp at our office so it would be hard to get Bob out into the parking lot in a hurry if anything does go bad.

Anyway, see you all bright and early Monday morning!

Original 90210 Show Beach House For Sale - $8.9 Million. Tori Spelling Has Touched Every Door Knob!

Remember the old days of sitting around at night watching 90210?

Me either.

But if you were a fan of the show and remember anything about it, you will certainly remember the fantastic beach house used for filming.

Well, the house is now for sale.

While not in the actual 90210 zip code, the Hermosa Beach, California house is located in the 90254 area. I know, a deal breaker for some of you. The awesome beachfront home has six-bedrooms and five-bathrooms among other amenities.

The house, built in 1915, features an owner’s two bedroom, two bath remodeled beach bungalow, a remodeled two
bedroom + two bath guest suite and an additional remodeled two bedroom + one bath guest suite.

And since the economy is bad, and the housing market has collapsed, you can pick this baby up for only $8.9 million dollars.

Forget about the property taxes, electric bill, pool service, housekeeping, grounds keeping, water bill, insurance, security, and sunscreen expense, because you will be busy renting it out most of the time.

That’s right! The house is currently used as a rental and rents for over $400 per night with a six day minimum and is rented almost year-round.

And just think - Tori Spelling has touched every door knob in the house!

What Kind of Mansion Can $100 Million Buy You In California These Days?

In case you thought that having a job and being able to pay your mortgage was a sign of success in this country… you really have got to set your sights a little higher.

A French chateau-style mansion in Silicon Valley quietly sold last week. Asking price? $100 million dollars.

You heard that right!

It is now officially the most expensive house ever sold in the United States - and the Los Altos Hills, California mansion just sold to Yuri Milner, 49, who is CEO of Digital Sky Technologies and a Russian billionaire.

The 25,000 square foot home has indoor and outdoor pools, a ballroom, a wine cellar, twelve fire places, ballroom, and a tennis court – just to name a few amenities.

Wonder how much a house like this will cost you in property taxes each year?

Just a measly $5 million dollars – not including lawn and garden care, pool care, roof maintenance, house attendants, water bill, and electric bill.

See, if you have to ask…. You probably can’t afford it!

If Yuri ever tires of his winter play spot he has a few options.

Our top three ideas?

1 - Rent it out to the contestants on American Idol
2 - Use it for filming “Big Brother” next season
3 - Let Charlie Sheen buy it to store all his “Goddesses”
