"The Favorite Pools of Gerard Butler, Heidi Klum, and More\nGerard Butler, Katy Perry, Chelsea Handler, Miley Cyrus, Julianne Moore, Steven Tyler, Heidi Klum, and other A-listers reveal their dream pools\nOnlookers swooned as Scottish actor Gerard Butler, wearing a crisp tux at the Hollywood Domino and Bovet Pre-Oscar Gala at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, described his dream body of water. \"It would be as organic as possible and surrounded by all kinds of tropical plants, so it wouldn't really feel like a pool. It would feel like you'd just come across a lagoon in Jamaica.\"\nPop princess Katy Perry was perusing an exhibition of Italian fashion designer Miuccia Prada's costumes for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby when she declared, \"Oh, it would be heart-shaped. For sure.\" At the Beverly Hills Hotel for Essence magazine's Black Women in Hollywood lunch, LaLa Anthony, wife of New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony, also insisted on heart-shaped. \"Just for love and fun,\" she said. \"I've never seen one, and that's why I want to do it.\"\nAt the Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit, interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, star of Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators, noted that he'd recently come across a spectacular house in Mexico. \"It was in ruins, and they had dug it out and flooded it, so you swam through the remains of the rooms,\" he said. \"Now that is my fantasy swimming pool. I'd rather not do it faux, but,\" his voice lifted archly, \"we are in Hollywood!\" Lawrence Bullard is pictured here at the British Invasion VIP reception.\n\nLawrence Bullard is pictured here at the British Invasion VIP reception.\nPop sensation Miley Cyrus was dressed in a cropped Mickey Mouse top and a red striped skirt by Marc Jacobs when we spoke backstage following the designer's last New York show. \"I'm redoing my house now,\" said Cyrus. \"I want to get all black and white tiles, because my house has an Italian vibe and I want to make it more modern and young. When I was in Argentina on tour, we were at this amazing hotel pool that had this beautiful crownlike fountain thrown in the middle. I want to try to find one and put it in at my house.\"\n\"My dream pool?\" asked actress Katherine Heigl, backstage at Jenny Packham's fall trunk show. \"Infinity.\" The first thing out of Canadian actress Emily VanCamp's mouth at a recent Clinique f\u00EAte? \"Infinity pool with a hot tub attached,\" answered the Revenge star, seen here with actress Katharine McPhee. \"Something where I could do laps. I was just in the Philippines and saw this insanely gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the ocean.\" The Hunger Games' Jena Malone, pale with dark bangs and sitting in the front row at the J. Mendel show (and seen here with designer Gilles Mendel), explained the allure: \"Infinity pools steal my heart. There's something beautiful about staring out to the infinite. And it has to be saltwater . . . and a dark bottom is nice.\"\n\nHeigl is seen here at a J. Mendel fashion show.\nBackstage at the Tommy Hilfiger show in New York, actress and erstwhile interior designer Julianne Moore, shown with husband Bart Freundlich, shared that she loves natural-rock-formation pools. \"I'd like to have something like that someday,\" Moore told the Inquisitive Guest. \"One that blends right into the landscaping, so you don't know where the pool begins. That kind of edge is very difficult to do, but I don't like to see a surround. It's always nice if it looks like it's natural.\"\nIn her film Somewhere, director Sofia Coppola glamorizes the starry pool that time forgot at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel. But in the front row at the Anna Sui show, she pointed out that in Manhattan it's a dream \"just to have a pool in your home.\" Model Kate Upton shared that sentiment at the New York debut of her cover for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. \"I grew up in Florida, where almost everybody has a pool,\" she said. \"So being in New York, any pool would be appreciated.\"\u00A0\n\nCoppola is seen here at an event for A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III.\nAttending the Elton John AIDS Foundation gala, rock legend Steven Tyler described the dramatic waterfront pool at his octagonal stilt house in Maui. (Spending a week there was one of the items up for auction that night.) Tyler's stone patio faces a spectacular semicircular pool bordered by lawn, solidified lava, and surf. \"The home is basically a poolhouse with a giant fish tank in the center.\"\n\"Oh, my goodness,\" gasped actress Jane Krakowski, wearing a plunging neckline and sitting in the front row at KaufmanFranco's fashion show in New York. \"How about an Elsa Peretti for Tiffany bean-shaped pool? Silver on the bottom\u2014that would be good!\"\n\nKrakowski is seen here at the Emmy awards.\nOn the white carpet at the Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit dinner, actress Rose McGowan modestly suggested that she needs no pool. Her swim of choice merely requires a prime chunk of oceanfront real estate. \"The ocean is the biggest and most wonderful pool in the world,\" McGowan said.\nActress and activist Jenny McCarthy was hosting a party at the Dream Downtown Hotel in Manhattan when she described her dream swimming hole: \"Rectangular,\" she answered. \"With a mechanical cover and retractable roof. I would make it part of the living room so it's indoor-outdoor.\"\n\nMcCarthy is pictured here at a Hope For Children event.\nSize matters to talk-show host Chelsea Handler. The Inquisitive Guest caught up with Handler and her beau, hotelier Andr\u00E9 Balazs, who owns the Chateau Marmont, in the front row at the Diane von Furstenberg show. \"The pool at the Getty Villa,\" offered Handler by way of inspiration. \"It's huge,\" agreed a smiling Balazs. \"It's like a lake.\"\n\nHandler and Balazs are seen here at a GlamourWomen of the Year awards dinner.\nAnyone who has encountered setbacks with contractors during construction will sympathize with actress Gabrielle Union's sentiments during Essence magazine's Black Women in Hollywood Awards lunch\u2014a stone's throw from the foliage-enshrined pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel. \"We're going through construction hell at the moment,\" she answered. \"One that works!\"\nAt the annual Global Green USA gala at the Avalon in Hollywood, where a sleek 2014 Chevy Volt was prominently featured on the green carpet, actor D. W. Moffett (Switched at Birth, Friday Night Lights) told us that he plans to build a guesthouse on the lot adjoining his property, with a roof that captures rainwater. His eco-friendly pool idea: \"I'd get [actor and environmentalist] Ed Begley Jr. to consult,\" he said. \"I'd love a saltwater pool, but I don't know how sustainable that is.\"\nAs one might have guessed, supermodel Heidi Klum already has her dream pool. Wearing five-inch heels, the star of Project Runway stood more than a head taller than the Inquisitive Guest on the carpet at the Elton John AIDS Foundation event. \"I live up on a mountain,\" Klum explained. \"I have this pool where the water flows over the edge, and it overlooks the ocean.\"\u00A0\n\nKlum is seen here at the amfAR New York gala."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
