Wining and dining is second nature to these stars, who show off rooms where they make visitors feel special

Perry King is the first to admit he's no Martha Stewart. His sprawling three-bedroom house on 40 acres near Auburn, Calif., in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, has been sparsely furnished ever since he and Jamie Elvidge, a journalist, divorced last year after 10 years of marriage. "A lot of stuff left," says King, 52, who portrayed patriarch Richard Williams in NBC's Titans. Then, too, there are the un-Martha-like heaps of toys belonging to his daughter Hannah, 8, who shuttles between both parents. (King also has a daughter, Louise, 29, a lawyer, from his first marriage.) King's garden-destroying peacocks would probably not be favorites of the Domestic Diva either.
     But the actor, who also maintains a home five hours away in L.A. for business and charity work (he devotes much of his time to helping abused and abandoned children via an organization called Olive Crest), does boast one Martha-worthy room: the master bath, which he hands over (along with his bedroom) to overnight guests. It has plush carpeting, an oversized shower and a tub with a panoramic view. "At night you can take a bath when the sun is setting, and you can see the Coast Ranges," says King. "The bath being on a platform adds to the feeling of being on top of the world," says his pal Allison Hill, a public relations executive. Still, the luxury is probably lost on King's most frequent visitors. "Hannah has lots of sleepovers," he says. "I just let the girls take over the house and fix it the next day."
