Sure, celebrity brings you fame, money and free gifts at awards dos... but it also brings you absolutely massive mansions, and we've always wanted a peek inside. When Kanye and Drake are feuding over who has the better pool, how could you resist a little trip into a starry residence?
Keith Lemon's take on Through the Keyhole can only go so far, so we're hoping for the revival of another real estate classic: MTV's Cribs.

3. MARIAH CAREY
What and where? Three-bedroom penthouse in Tribeca, New York City
Why it's amazing: Mariah never does things by halves, so it's really only right and proper that her episode of Cribs was a) a special hour-long edition and b) the most-watched and most-replayed tour ever. Who wouldn't want a glimpse into Mariah's penthouse in New York, from the stunning view to her dog and cat fighting in the kitchen to her bizarrely huge walk-in wardrobe (where she keeps changing to get her outfit on point)?
Peak awesomeness: The absolutely iconic scene where she simply luxuriates in the bath. A masterpiece.
