JENNIFER LOPEZ: IT’S A SMALL WORLD

If you don’t believe Hollywood is a very small place, your opinion might change after you read this item. Jennifer Lopez has been looking for a house to buy since she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. She often brings her mother along (above) to look at homes with her. It so happens, one of the houses she’s interested in belongs to one of Ben’s ex-girlfriends, Gwyneth Paltrow! The Goop founder is selling her $30 million Brentwood estate since she moved to Montecito. And get this… Gwyneth’s house is just a few steps away from the home Ben is now renting. As we told you, Hollywood is a small place – so if J.Lo buys Gwen’s house, she’ll be neighbors with Ben.

JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX WANT TO BUY MATTHEW PERRY’S HOUSE

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are teaming up to buy the $6 million home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles where their Friends costar, Matthew Perry died. According to an insider, the gals  know that Matthew loved the house and don’t want it turned into an Airbnb for morbid looky-loos, because Matthew drowned in the pool. Since money is no object, they’re hoping to purchase the house,  redo the pool and  refurbish the outside.  Both girls have made renovating homes their side hustle, so this could be a lucrative project – they plan to donate any profits to the foundation in Matthew’s name. Since pulling permits from the city can be cumbersome, Jen and Courteney are trying to buy the home from Matthew’s estate ASAP so they can start the process. Smart move – the home has already been added to one of those celebrity bus tours and tourists have been seen snapping photos of the property.

WILL KIM ZOLCIAK TURN TO ONLYFANS TO SAVE HER HOME?

Will the adult content website, OnlyFans be enough to save Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s house and their marriage? The former Real Housewife of Atlanta star and her estranged former NFL star husband are facing financial ruin. Their house was nearly foreclosed upon a few months back, and now -according to Kroy -they’re behind on their mortgage payments again. Kim and Kroy recently reconciled after splitting up, but Kroy just filed for divorce a second time. According to our source, as a last ditch effort, they’ve been seriously contemplating launching an OnlyFans page to share some of their intimate moments with their fans who are willing to pay a monthly fee. Content creators like Denise Richards make a fortune on the adult website, so if they want to save their house, Kim and Kroy might decide to show some skin. (Are they really THAT popular?)

PARIS JACKSON SAYS NO THANKS TO HOLLYWOOD MCMANSIONS

Paris Jackson just bought herself a new house in the Hollywood Hills and it couldn’t be more appropriate. She may be one of the wealthiest young women in Hollywood, but you wouldn’t guess it by her purchase. Paris considers herself to be a modern-day hippie so she avoided the gaudy McMansions and acquired an upscale wood and stone cabin for 3.8 million. It’s a comparatively modest 3000 sq ft, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. (No indulgent walk-in closets) She loves the fact that it has an art studio and a music studio, plus a free-form saltwater pool. She probably isn’t at all impressed that Rock Hudson once lived there. (note the rustic bathroom)

OUR TWO FAVORITE ROOMS IN THE NEW AFFLECK/LOPEZ HOUSE

While Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on their Italian honeymoon (with their kids, no less!) work has begun on the new 60 million dollar 29,000 sq ft Beverly Hills house they bought before they left. They kept the purchase a big secret and nobody knows exactly what they paid for it, but billionaire James Packer once owned it. You already know it has 7 bedrooms and everything else a human could want, but after checking out the photos we picked out the two rooms we love most. The first is the amazingly well-equipped beauty salon that will keep the blended families looking their best. Sigh. Drool. The second desirable room also made us dizzy with envy- it’s the closet – and it looks like an expensive boutique. Now THAT’S breathtaking luxury…

JENNIFER AND BEN BOUGHT A HOUSE TOGETHER

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez just made an enormous investment in their future- they purchased a $50 million dollar mansion in Bel-Air with 17 bathrooms together! The sprawling 10 bedroom (almost 20,000 sq ft) house will be just the right size to blend the two families. Jennifer has two children from her previous marriage, and we imagine her mother and sister will be frequent visitors. Ben’s three children will certainly have rooms of their own, along with various grandparents. (It has already been established that the kids get along nicely) The house features a magnificent “hers” closet with makeup table, but there’s no sense showing a photo because Ben and Jennifer will no doubt remodel the entire place.

HOW DOES KIM KARDASHIAN FEEL ABOUT KANYE LIVING ACROSS THE STREET?

It works for Adele. She bought a house across the street from her lavish Hidden Valley home specifically for her ex-husband Simon Konecki to occupy, so he will be close to their son Angelo, 9. It helps that Adele and Simon are still good friends. We wonder if Kim Kardashian KNEW beforehand that HER ex Kanye West planned to buy a home across from the mansion they once shared in Hidden Hills. He was SO determined to get the house that he paid far over the asking price. Keep in mind, Kanye’s Malibu home is only 30 minutes away. If Kim DIDN’T know about the purchase in advance, she must be freaked out, thinking “was this fueled by good intentions or STALKING?” Will Kanye document her comings and goings and with whom? If she DID consult with Kanye before the purchase, we underestimated Kim’s desire for coparenting and her comfort level with Kanye.

KESHA WILL BE ISOLATING IN STYLE

Kesha, 33, must be doing something right – she just signed on the dotted line to purchase a very comfortable new house in Mar Vista – strange timing, but maybe she got a good deal. She paid five million dollars for a modern 5,942 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, plus a guest house and pool. Our favorite feature is the gigantic movie screen over the guest house/garage. Check out the entire house in the Dirt real estate section in Variety. Sweet to imagine watching movies on the patio next summer…

JUSTIN BIEBER BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

You‘d never guess by looking at Justin Bieber that the place where he lives is a pigpen. The singer always looks clean and presentable in public. But a source who visited his Calabasas mansion told Mike Walker at The Enquirer that the outside of his house is quite impressive, but the INSIDE is a NIGHTMARE- like a flophouse. The only furnished rooms are Justin’s bedroom and another small room. The rest of the house is filthy and littered with fast food wrappers, pizza boxes and paper cups. Dirty clothes are strewn about and Justin’s “moochers’ have dirty comforters and pillows on the floor where they sleep. His housekeepers can’t keep up with Justin’s loud and messy hangers-on. Maybe it’s time for mom Pattie to pay a visit.
