Alan Pavlik de Just Above Sunset nous signale une brève dans la rubrique "célébrités" du cahier immobilier du Los Angeles Times: Johnny Hallyday profite de l'Euro fort pour débarquer à Los Angeles où il doit enregistrer son nouvel album cet été. On apprend que le "Elvis français" et sa jeune épouse Laetitia louent une villa moderne au dessus du Sunset Strip pour quelques sous:

L.A. Graceland for 'French Elvis'

French rock star Johnny Hallyday and his model wife, Laetitia, have leased a house in the Sunset Strip area while he records a new album.

The pair paid $45,000 for a month, including a butler, a maid and a house manager [...]

The Sunset Strip house, built in 2005, has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in nearly 5,700 square feet. There are pool, city and/or canyon views from almost every room.

The three-story house has an elevator and is fully appointed with art and furniture. There is an outdoor terrace and a separate guesthouse with a kitchen.

The rock star, frequently called the French Elvis, is 64. He has released more than 900 songs, including 42 gold and 20 platinum discs. In 2006, Hallyday vowed to spend at least six months of the year in Switzerland, in protest of France's high taxes.

Si Johnny sort là où il faut, il devrait tomber sur un autre chanteur exilé fiscal musclé, le Français de Californie Michel Polnareff (croisé une fois dans un palace de Beverly Hills, incognito sans ses lunettes blanches.)
