Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Budapest House Oops!

BRAD PITT TO ANGELINA JOLIE: “LET ME IN!”

It can’t be the first time this has happened. World travelers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently settled into their huge mansion in Buda Hills outside Budapest and Brad took off on his BMW motorcycle to check out the scenery. When he came home, trailed as usual by paparazzi, he rang the bell and no one let him in! He was looking very puzzled when the paps pointed out that he was at the wrong house. His house is next door! Sometime those pesky photographers come in handy.

House Katie Holmes Kids Real Estate Secret Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE SHOWS HIS FAMILY HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES

When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes get a bit weary of their 35 million dollar 10,000 sq ft mansion in Beverly Hills with it’s huge staff, they scamper off to their “retreat” – a secret, smaller four bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills. It’s here that they can live more like a normal family, have barbecues in the backyard, and swim in the pool together. Tom likes to bring Suri and his other kids Connor and Isabella to the cozy getaway and they celebrated Suri’s birthday together without staffers around. Of course, there is security, but they stay out of sight on the grounds. It’s the family’s escape to a more normal life.

Boyfriend House Lady Gaga Luc Carl Real Estate Reunited

LADY GAGA HAS A FABULOUS NEW HOUSE TO SHARE WITH SOMEONE

It appears that Lady Gaga will be settling down for awhile where most American rock stars end up – in Bel Air, California. Since she leased this 6 bedroom 8 bath home for $25,000 a month, speculation is rampant that she just MIGHT invite her exboyfriend Luc Carl (bartender, musician, personal trainer) to share the place with her. Amy and Luc have rekindled their once-hot romance and she’s been hanging around the bar, St Jeromes, where he works in New York. They’ve also been seen out together several times in the city. If he plays his cards right, Luc will be enjoying unobstructed views of LA from Gaga’s comfortable couch in Bel Air.

Horrorpops House Kate Jackson Lawsuit Money Real Estate

KATE JACKSON SAYS HER BAD INVESTMENTS ARE NOT HER FAULT


Photo Credit House: Pacific Coast News

We can’t help but laugh, because THIS is the $2,011,000 house that Kate Jackson bought in Santa Monica because her financial advisor told her to. Kate says her late friend Farrah Fawcett recommended her financial advisor Richard B Francis and after she hired him he proceeded to destroy her financially with bad advice. (Keep in mind, Kate has worked steadily on TV for YEARS and has starred in around five series!) Kate claims that Francis encouraged her to overpay for this modest property in 2008. It certainly doesn’t LOOK like a two million dollar house (especially in a recession) but Kate wasn’t blindfolded. She’s suing the guy for three million dollars.

House Hugh Laurie

HOUSE DOC HUGH LAURIE LIVES 5400 MILES FROM HIS FAMILY

“House” star Hugh Laurie started filming the show in 2004, and his family stayed in the UK so the kids wouldn’t have to leave school. His family wanted to wait and see if the show was a success before uprooting. Numerous Emmys and six years later the show is a bona fide hit, but Hugh is still living alone in Hollywood. However he DID move out of his West Hollywood apartment into a large home in the Hollywood Hills. Everyone expected the family to move in, but they just visit! When they’re together Hugh and his petite wife Jo love riding his motorcycle, and seem happy. What’s the deal here?

This is Larry King’s 12 million dollar house in Beverly Hills that his wife Shawn will most likely get in their divorce. The Tuscan style home has 9500 sq ft, 7 bedrooms and 9 baths. Larry selected this place because he can walk to Nate n’ Al’s deli for breakfast with his cronies every morning. According to TMZ, Larry called the cops this morning because paparazzi were waiting outside and he couldn’t leave for breakfast. So Nate N’ Al delivered his food. And the waitresses there have been warned not to talk about their steady customer.

House Jenny McCarthy Jim Carrey Real Estate Split

JENNY MCCARTHY WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BY HER EX JIM CARREY

No more sharing swimsuits for Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. It’s over. But as we told you last summer, he didn’t leave her in the lurch. Jim bought Jenny and her little boy Evan a FIVE MILLION dollar house in Beverly Hills so they can always feel secure. That calculates to about a million dollars for each year they spent together. STAR magazine claims that Jim’s bouts of depression led to the split and certainly his moods have always been a challenge. At least he’s not a cheapskate.

House Real Estate Tom Hanks

THIS IS WHAT TOM HANKS GOT FOR 26 MILLION DOLLARS?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

We’ve been told this is a photo of the 26 million dollar house that Tom Hanks bought and we have to admit we’re more than a little disappointed. The Architecture from this angle seems pedestrian at best, and not at all inviting. The pool area is flat and dull with no relief from the sun. The landscaping is far from lush and there seems to be no shaded outside area for entertaining. Imagine a three story house this size with only four bedrooms! We have to say the outside of the house, which is very important in California, doesn’t live up to the astronomical price. (Click on photo to enlarge)

Casey Johnson Deceased House

AT LEAST CASEY JOHNSON DIDN’T DIE IN SQUALOR

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

The deluge of information about Casey Johnson’s tragic death left some pertinent questions unanswered: If she was too poor to pay her utility bills, how could a MAID have discovered her body? If she had no water or lights, how could she get dressed up and go out to clubs at night? Her living conditions were described as filthy and neglected “like Grey Gardens“ but the house pictured above where her body was discovered is immaculate. If she couldn’t pay utility bills, how could she pay her rent? We investigated and were enlightened by a friendly neighbor. He clarified the following: Casey often stayed at the GUEST HOUSE of the multimillion dollar West Hollywood house pictured above. The owner was a friend of her parents. Probably she went there to escape a ramshackle abode elsewhere. Especially if bill collectors were after her. The maid belonged to the expensive main house’s owner and the property and pool are kept in pristine condition. At least Casey didn’t die under horrible conditions. Right now there’s a security guard sitting in a car in front of this house.
