Besides the many noted visits to AZ's sex, drug, and alcohol rehabs, I'm hearing about more and more celebrities that actually live in AZ. (The latest being Bret Michaels in Scottsdale)
Is it just their second home or have they always been around and I'm just behind the times?

Nothing serious...just a fun/curious question. ( I recently saw Kelsey Grammar at a gas station but I'm pretty sure he normally lives in CA)

Of course, Arizona does rock, so it would only make sense! LOL!

Nah, we're probably even better. However, I'm not sure if our bank accounts are, though! Mostly sports people, it seems...

Like I said, the question was just for fun because I've been hearing it a lot lately.

Bret Michaels lives up in North Scottsdale near Pima and Happy Valley Road.

A while back I made a thread about the celebrities who have lived or currently live in Arizona.

For a while Jenna Jameson lived in Scottsdale, I used to see her driving her purple lambo around near Scottsdale and Shea.

Interesting! I probably would never recognize the sports celebs if I was standing next to them anyway, except Mike Holmgren who I believe lives here.

The Valley has always been a 2nd home for many in the entertainment and sports industry. We're a very quick flight away from Los Angeles, and we have upscale shopping, an upscale environment and entertainment. With all the irrigation going on, some places also look identical to Southern California.

Scottsdale has basically turned into a low key cousin of Beverly Hills.

Although he wasn't born here, Alice Cooper (real name Vincent Furnier) has been in Phoenix since he was a kid, and he graduated from Cortez high school.

I'm not sure if she's still living there, but singer Linda Ronstadt lived around Tucson in the 1970s.
