Moby has bought a Los Angeles home worth $3 million to turn into a recording studio. The "Play" musician purchased the Sun Strip place with friend Stacey Bendet and turned the garage and guesthouse into an enormous working place.

The 42-year-old singer/songwriter is reportedly planning to turn the mansion's guesthouse and garage into a recording studio. Meanwhile, fashion designer Bendet, wants to use the house as a style salon for celebrities.

Moby was a hate-target for 'Star Wars' "nerds" when he dated Natalie Portman.

The 'We Are All Made of Stars' musician briefly romanced the stunning actress - who played Queen Padme Amidala, Luke Skywalker's mother, in three of the sci-fi movies - in 2000, but admits the relationship angered some hardcore 'Star Wars' fans.

Natalie Portman will never get married. The 'Star Wars' actress - who has been romantically linked to 'Scrubs' star Zach Braff, Moby and Gael Garcia Bernal - insists she doesn't need a piece of paper to prove her commitment.

The happily single star said: "I'm into monogamy. But I'm not really into marriage. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it?"

Nicolas Cage was forced to give his poisonous pet snakes to the zoo because his neighbors were terrified of them. The 'National Treasure' star kept two cobras at his Hollywood home, but when his neighbors found out they threatened to sue him unless he got rid of them.

Cage, 44, said: "I had to get rid of my pet cobras because my neighbors threatened to sue me. The cobras were called Moby and Sheba and I kept them in my house in Hollywood for about three years. I had to keep the antidote to their poison as well because if one of those guys bit you then you had 15 minutes before the curtains closed. I loved them. I'd watch them for hours."

Moby thinks it would be "fantastic" to be a vampire, even though he is a strict vegan. The dance music star - who is known for his animal-free diet and outspoken religious and political views - likes the idea of being an immortal, blood-sucking monster.

He wrote on his personal website: "I have to say that I fall into the two percent category that thinks being a vampire would be good. Not sure how I could reconcile vampirism with veganism, though.

Moby 'believes' God destroys American Republicans with natural disasters. The musician - who is a staunch Democrat - is enraged by religious extremists who suggest hurricanes and earthquakes are sent by God to destroy sinners, and has come up with a new theory about why the tragedies might occur.

Moby wrote on his personal website: "You know how the religious right will every now and then say that some natural disasters - hurricanes, earthquakes, etc - happen because God is angry at secular sinners?
