Welcome to younghollywood. com.
Hey guys, I'm Jill Wilderman, and we're pad crashin' again.
And today we're at the home of Lunell, and you're the very first to see it.
Lunell, are you home?
Young Hollywood.
What are you doing here?
This is the house the Borat built.
Would you like to take a look around?
This is the living area.
These chairs I got them from a very extraordinary musician who has a penchant for purple, and that's all I'm gonna say about that.
My sister decided to braid my hair up and every other braid we dyed red.
This is my dining area, which I've never had one before.
I love my bar because back in the olden days it's always so continental to have a bar in the home, you know.
Crystal is heavy than a mofo, and as you can see, it has my name engraved in gold.
This is where my friends come and crash out.
All these bills, bills and receipts.
Here's my husband.
I like very much, how you?
I like.
Thank you, darling.
Okay, bye.
This is when I made the worst dress list in Star Magazine.
Thank you, Star, 'cause I don't know y'all was trippin', I was fabulous.
So here's my very regal bed.
Okay.
Which I have steps to get up into.
Ooh, so comfortable.
Now, I have a daughter.
It's a little known fact, but I do, I'm a mom.
Chris Brown!
Hey, Chris.
[Kissing sound] Okay, come on.
Into where it all goes down, baby.
Oh, it's the kitchen.
My collection of pimp clothes, which were made by the same lady who makes them for Snoop.
Jay Leno even has one.
I got some tacos.
Enchiladas.
Yeah.
Young Hollywood is in the house, saying, yeah, baby.
So, Young Hollywood just got the first tour of Lunell's house, but Lunell, you have a really compelling story about how you got here.
I wasn't working, didn't have any gigs.
Hardly anybody knew I was here.
We lived in the parking lot of Boulevard 3.
In the back there's some cabanas.
We used to park back there.
Sometimes he could get one open, we would sleep in there.
So then Borat came into your life.
And I met this guy and he turned out to be an agent and we've been working together ever since.
And he called me and told me I had an audition.
I should go looking like a prostitute.
Well, you know, I was such a stretch.
I didn't know what to wear.
A prostitute?
So I had to dig deep, deep and uh, find some way to come up with something appropriate to wear for that audition.
Probably wore what I had on that day.
Unbeknownst to me, I was auditioning for Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles.
I had never seen Sacha out of his makeup, out of his outfit, so I didn't know what he really looked like.
Cheers to your new home and having Young Hollywood in it.
I love Young Hollywood and everybody connected in it and y'all can come and sit at my table anytime.
I always have a cocktail for Young Hollywood.
And then I'm probably gonna take a nap.
They're gonna probably wake up and eat some more and take another nap, so you gotta go.
Bye, take it easy.
Thanks.
