Today's authority on home design and decoration, House Beautiful, is drawing inspiration from the red carpet for the decor of its Celebrity Showhouse in Los Angeles, California.

The cottage-style home will feature rooms that have been inspired by celebrities including Candice Bergen, Halle Berry, Courteney Cox, Kim Delaney, Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley, Anjelica Huston, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jennifer and Sylvester Stallone, and Reese Witherspoon. Kicking off with a celebrity family charity event on Sunday, April 28, the house will be open to the public from Monday, April 29 through Monday, May 27.

Tickets for general admission to the House Beautiful Celebrity Showhouse are $25.00 each and must be purchased at the door. The showhouse is located at 130 N. Bristol Avenue in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. The showhouse will be open to the public seven days a week from 11:00 AM-5:00 PM, except on Thursdays, when it will stay open until 8:00 PM. For more information, please call toll free at 866/255-9069.

To create the House Beautiful Celebrity Showhouse, each celebrity is collaborating with a high-profile designer to decorate a specific room in the house that reflects his or her personality. Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer are applying their understanding of strength and style to develop the home's gym/media room, while this year's Oscar winner Halle Berry is providing inspiration for the dining room. Courteney Cox is lending her sense of design to one of the home's bedrooms and bathrooms; Anjelica Huston, to the living room.

Participating designers include Barbara Barry, Thomas Beeton, Chris Coleman, David Desmond, Peter Dunham, Waldo Fernandez, Antonia Hutt, Kathryn Ireland, Molly Luetkemeyer, Will McGaul, Lucretia Moroni, Suzanne Rheinstein, Madeline Stuart, Frederick Sutherland, Jackie Terrell and Kelly Wearstler. The grounds of the House Beautiful Celebrity Showhouse will be artfully landscaped by Mia Lehrer and Paul Robbins.

Proceeds from the House Beautiful Celebrity Showhouse and the celebrity event will benefit the Children's Action Network (CAN), an organization founded in 1990 by leaders in the entertainment industry to benefit children. CAN's mission is to harness the power of the media and work with national advocacy organizations to promote policies that better children's lives.

"At House Beautiful we love glamour -- especially when it benefits a worthy cause," says Marian McEvoy, editor-in-chief of House Beautiful. "We're thrilled to be working with today's hottest designers to create a home that is literally filled with star power."
