In what may be the most tickling real estate news of the century, American music royalty Jay Z and Beyoncé are renting the sprawling Los Angeles mansion featured in The Big Lebowski for a cool $150,000 a month. We hope they still have cash left over to buy a nice rug. They really tie the room together.

While we’re sure the couple was drawn to the property’s luxury features (five bedrooms, an Olympic-sized indoor swimming pool, dance studio, screening room, and spa to name a few), don’t forget that Ms. Knowles-Carter sampled the French version of Julianne Moore’s monologue about sex and feminism in her 2014 song, “Partition.” (Full disclosure, the video is steamy.) Which can only mean one thing: Jay Z and Beyoncé are huge Big Lebowski fans.

From here on out, we’ll forever imagine them shuffling around their mansion in long bath robes and clinking glasses of The Dude’s favorite drink, the White Russian. Jay Z and Beyoncé, if you’re reading this, here’s a good standard recipe from Liquor.com. Feel free to tweak as you see fit — maybe instead of quaffing it while be-decked in a dirty robe, opt for a kale sweatshirt instead?
