I found out a few months ago that Radar from M.A.S.H. lives out by Guntersville Lake. I know that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's son will be attending UAH so they are planning on buying a house soon. Then there are the rumors from a while back that Nicole Kidman was looking into buying a mansion on Monte Sano. At some point I remember a few members of the Backstreet Boys, of all people, wanting to move to Huntsville. And finally I heard something about Billy Dee Williams moving here after falling in love during the filming of Constellation.

I was wondering if anyone else has heard rumors of famous people living in Huntsville; personally I find it kinda nifty that they can find my hometown worth loving... however my Dad says, "It'll be a cold day in hell before they turn my Huntsville into Hollywood East."

On a similar note: My friend and I were looking at the satellite images on Google of his girlfriends house out by in the sticks between Huntsville and Arab. About 1 mile away, completely secluded by trees is a god-knows-how-big structure. Their house is about 4k sqft and this other building showing up on google maps appears to be around 15 times larger. I'll try to get a direct link to the coordinates so you can see what I'm talking about.

I have heard from a couple different people that Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn purchased an entire floor at the Westin.

Walter Jones, the left tackle for the Seahawks has a huge home on Jeff Rd across from Sparkman H.S.

Yeah, I had heard a couple of years ago that Faith Hill and Tim McGraw had bought a big house for sale in Hartselle...it was a big rumor.
I thought Goldie and Kurt had bought a condo for the son in downtown Huntsville, and I heard the Westin rumors, too. I think he just finished his first year at UAH.

I know the alleged house. It's a biggun' -- very upscale gentleman farmer type of place. I don't know who told me that was theirs; it could be the wrong house I guess.

If I am not mistaken, I thought Stallworth sold that company.
