Yesterday the L.A. Times delivered its own let's-go-visit-Jared-upstate-and-hear-how-he's-been-wronged piece. And what does the paper tell us about the Stern homestead?

It is a remote place — 2 1/2 hours by car from Manhattan — where they live with a cat, a dog and two ferrets. They paid $220,000 for it and fixed it up to look more like a manor house and less like a farmhouse.

$220k, huh? Hmm. Wonder where he'd get that kind of money?
