The Beverly Hills, CA, mansion formerly owned by Kiss frontman Gene Simmons is back on the market, and it’s completely unrecognizable from its glam-metal days.

Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, purchased the property in 1986 for $1.3 million. They lived there for decades with their two children. The couple renovated the property in 2000, according to property...

Neighbours fight everywhere in the world. But when it leads you to lose $59,623 (Rs 50 lakh), it no longer classifies as a regular tussle. A couple in Britain lost all their life savings because of a legal battle with their neighbours, all over two fence panels, Daily Mail reported. Graham and Katherine Bateson objected when Wendy Leedham put the barrier up on the shared driveway between their two bungalows in 2019. The couple insisted the properties had what was described as a 'featureless boundary' when they bought their home in 1987 and launched litigation. This dragged on for nearly three years when a mediation hearing ruled the fence could stay. Mrs Leedham didn't survive to see...

For the unacquainted, Loch Lomond is a lake in southern Scotland that is part of the greater Loch Lomond area and...
