Covers of press pictures with stars in houses where they have absolutely never been before and most likely will never go again

OK, this Lionel Richie thread inspired me. I've always been fascinated with press pictures or album covers which pretend that the star is in his own home, when her/she clearly isn't. I'll start with these. Hit me!

A sub-genre here could be: Covers or press pictures of stars sitting the the wrong way on chairs. This should qualify:

Isn't Lionel Richie hanging out in that White Room at the Dakota where Lennon's "Imagine" video was filmed?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Lennon's room was more rural and less beachy, wasn't it?

― Jay K (Jay K), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't tell. The camera man needed to pan to the left so we can see if that shiny white grand piano was sitting in the far corner of the room. With Yoko sitting there.

ooops. Replace "needed to pan" with "should have panned"

yurch! what a thought!

Lionel Richie can't slow down, but he can take a little breather to enjoy the comfy ambience of his summer home.

What about the Gram Parsons album with him sitting in the Flannery O'Connor Faulkneresque Antibellum Southern mansion when he was probably living in a two bedroom bungalow off Mullholland drive? Mythbuilding, that's what it was.
