It's April 8th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, where the headlines shine, powered by AI, Alan Cargis dropped 3,250,000 pounds on 8 in Castle, a massive Scottish estate straight out of a traitor's episode. The 49-year-old comedian snagged the place earlier this year, complete with 17 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a five-story tower, a private, chapel, and 106 acres of gardens. Inspired by Ardross Castle from Celebrity Traders, where he won the first series last year, Alan's turning it into a luxury hotel in Spa. Back in February, he inked a seven-figure deal with Disney Plus for a renovation show called Castle Man, produced by the folks behind Clarkson's farm. Fans and locals are buzzing about his new barren's title, which comes with the estate and dates back to 1324. Alan's embracing his turret air at 50, planning his own tartan, and calling it his mid-life dream instead of a sports car. He's got the survey done, and is just waiting on the keys to start work.

A community meeting on his plans got postponed last month, because way too many folks, over the 120 capacity, wanted in at the local, bowling club. Word is residents worry about access to the grounds, but Alan shut down any sale rumors himself. This Castle flips about to be his next big stage.
