Tom Selleck's Lavish Ranch: A Sanctuary Amid Hollywood Feuds

Hollywood veteran and Blue Bloods star Tom Selleck has been spending his retirement at his $5million Ventura County, California ranch following the cancellation of the hit CBS police drama

BLUE BLOODS: THE CURSE OF CBS

The news of Blue Bloods' cancellation sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, leaving fans and cast members reeling in despair. But one person who's taking it particularly hard is Tom Selleck, the rugged and charming actor who played the lovable Frank Reagan for 14 years.

Insiders claim that Selleck was so devastated by the news that he broke down in tears and considered taking legal action against CBS for "ageism." Yes, you read that right - ageism! The network's decision to axe Blue Bloods has left Selleck feeling betrayed, especially since ratings were still strong when it was canceled.

The massive compound has been the actor's full-time home since he purchased it from jazz legend Dean Martin back in 1988 for around $5million, the same year his breakout role in hit 80s TV series Magnum, PI came to an end

The 80-year-old actor has been spotted spending more time at home on his stunning 63-acre ranch in southern California. But don't think for a second that he's going to be lounging around the pool all day, sipping margaritas and enjoying his retirement. Oh no, not Tom Selleck! He's still got fire in his belly, and he's determined to fight back against CBS.

Selleck's idyllic ranch, which he bought from Dean Martin for a cool $5 million in 1988, is a testament to his love of nature and the great outdoors. The property boasts an impressive array of amenities, including stables, a tennis court, swimming pool, and even a private helipad! But what's most remarkable about this estate is Selleck's passion for preserving the land. He's spent decades cultivating the property, planting over 1,500 trees and nurturing the local wildlife.

But behind the scenes, things are getting ugly. Insiders claim that Selleck is still fuming about CBS's decision to cancel Blue Bloods and replace it with a spin-off called Boston Blue, starring Donnie Wahlberg. The news has left fans divided, with some supporting the new show and others sticking by their beloved Reagans.

The actor's property was originally known for being an avocado farm, but he revealed in an interview last year that droughts destroyed most of the trees as well as around 25 oaks that were more than 100 years old

Wahlberg, who played Danny Reagan in Blue Bloods, has been trying to convince Selleck to join the new show, but insiders claim that the actor is still too angry to consider it. "Donnie wants Tom to be a part of Boston Blue," says an insider, "but Tom is still hurt and feels betrayed by CBS."

But what really gets our blood boiling is Wahlberg's comments about the spin-off. In an interview with The Scholarly Note, he gushed about his new show, saying: "It will be a Danny Reagan-based show, but the Reagans are only a phone call away...and Danny likes to use the phone!" Um, excuse us? We thought this was supposed to be a spin-off, not a reunion of the original cast!

Meanwhile, Selleck has been keeping busy with other projects. He's agreed to star in an "Untitled Jesse Stone Project" for the Hallmark Channel, although details are scarce about where things stand in its development.

But what's really got our attention is Selleck's decision to moonlight as a spokesperson for American Advisors Group (AAG), a leading seller of reverse mortgages. Critics have slammed him for cashing in on his good-guy image to shill for the company, which many see as predatory lending. "It's like Tom is selling out," says an insider.

And let's be real - Selleck doesn't need the money. With a net worth estimated at over $100 million, he's set for life. But sources claim that the actor fears he'll have to sell his beloved ranch if Blue Bloods wasn't revived. "He would have preferred to keep working with the show," says an insider, "but since it's no longer an option, he's trying to figure out what's next."

The cancellation of Blue Bloods has left a void in many fans' lives, and we can't help but feel a little sad for Tom Selleck. Will he ever ride again as Frank Reagan? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - this rugged actor won't be going down without a fight!
