Taylor Swift is officially historic. Well, at least her Beverly Hills mansion is.
On Tuesday evening, the five-member Beverly Hills City Council approved Swift’s request to designate her home in Los Angeles as a historic city landmark. It was a swift and unanimous vote.
Swift bought the 11,000-square-foot, four-bedroom estate from the heirs of Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn — co-founder of Goldwyn Pictures, which later became MGM — in 2015 for $25 million, according to property records. The house, originally built in 1934, sits just behind the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Russia took advantage of the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 23, to poke fun at itself by referencing the Olympic ring that failed to open in the Opening Ceremony.
During the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, four giant, illuminated snowflakes appeared floating in the stadium. As they neared one another, they began to expand into circles to form the Olympic rings. Unfortunately, the snowflake at the top right of the display failed to open, thus being dubbed the first ‘Olympic fail’ of these 2014 Winter Olympics.

The Sochi Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony took place Friday, Feb. 7, with an elaborate show that took viewers through Russian history and included performances by Russian dancers and the gay-friendly band, t.a.T.u.
The ceremony took place in the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, which seats about 40,000 people.
The pre-show kicked off the celebrations with musical performances by the Russian military choir, who sang a cover of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and the gay-friendly girl group, t.a.T.u. T.a.T.u had a few worldwide hits in the early 2000s. The Russian pop duo sang two of their hits during the preshow, including “Not Gonna Get Us,” which is regarded by many as a gay anthem. While Russia does not have many pop stars known the world over, it is interesting that the country currently making headlines for anti-gay policies invited t.a.T.u.
