So, how does Starbucks improve their pasty offerings?

Hire a better baker for their locations? Or a baker at all??

Nope! They drop $100 million in cash to buy an entire small bakery chain.

Instead, Denise will

The series creator, Ryan Murphy, has just paid one serious pretty penny for Charlize Theron's old house on La Coasta Beach in Malibu, which she put on the market in December for a whopping $7.5 million!

Check out a photo of the 2,100 square foot, two-story property, which reportedly has three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a hot tub, and fire pit (above)!

Not bad! And he even got it at the discounted rate of $6.562 million!

So much more reasonable! LOLz!

TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners are the proud new owners of J. Crew!

Back in November the retailer announced the two private equity firms were set to acquire the company for $3 billion on the condition they didn't receive any better offers during the go-shop period.

Since no one made them a better offer, the purchase is practically a done deal.

Well, she's already proven she does biopics well, so why not?

Reese Witherspoon has reportedly bought the rights to the life story of singer Peggy Lee, and has enlisted director Nora Ephron to write and direct a biopic that she will produce and star in!

The film will reportedly span the entirety of Lee's life, including her singing and acting career.
