Artist Bette Midler Husband Real Estate

BETTE MIDLER’S LIPS ARE NOT SEALED

Bette Midler and her husband Martin von Haselberg are separating, but only for the sake of his art. According to an insider, their marriage is rock solid, but Martin (who is a performance artist) demands complete silence when he’s working on his art and -let’s face it – chatterbox Bette is anything but quiet. With Bette’s approval, Martin has been looking for a pied a terre in West Hollywood, California, (not far from their LA home) so he can escape his noisy domicile and work on his art, and occasionally sleep there.

Future One Night Stand Real Estate Side Chicks

FUTURE IS PLAYING IT SAFE

If you ever doubted that the handsome rapper Future is a big-time player, here’s proof. According to Mediatakeout, Future bought a 16.3 million dollar waterfront mansion not long ago in Miami that he shares with his family and special girlfriends. Recently he also purchased a 6000 sq foot 7.5 million dollar ocean view apartment-also in Miami- loaded with amenities (somehow you can see your cars from a living room window!) and it offers total privacy coming and going. This place is for his “side chicks!” or one-night-stands. The website says that he got the money for these investments by selling his music catalog for 70 million dollars.

Beach Estate Kim Kardashian Malibu Real Estate

KIM KARDASHIAN WANTS TO COOL OFF

Not sure if it was that 100 degree plus heat wave earlier this month in Hidden Hills that drove Kim Kardashian to purchase a beach house, but she DID. In a big way, according to Dirt. Kim paid 70.4 million for a 7500 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 5.5 bath estate in Malibu. The lushly landscaped 3 acre property is the biggest Malibu sale this year. Her kids are going to be thrilled – besides an ocean view, the place has stairs leading down to it’s own secluded beach. Kanye might not be so happy – the house is almost 15 miles from his Brutalist Malibu home, so they won’t be neighbors…

Adele Boyfriend Las Vegas Real Estate Rich Paul

ADELE’S HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON HER BOYFRIEND

Adele’s love life is a never-ending source of fascination. We didn’t realize that in January when she posted that last-minute tearful video apologizing to fans because she had to cancel her Las Vegas residency (“my show ain’t ready,”) she had a LOT going on in her life. Number one problem was her boyfriend, sports manager Rich Paul– he wasn’t around when she needed him. AND she was in the middle of buying Sylvester Stallone’s 21,000 sq ft mega-mansion (12 bathrooms!) in Beverly Hills for 58 million dollars at that same time. It turns out, maybe cancelling was the RIGHT thing to do, because it all ended well. She has rescheduled the Las Vegas performances for 48 million dollars, and Rich has moved into the huge house WITH her. She got what she wanted.

House Paris Jackson Real Estate

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)

David Spade Edward Fickett Funny Ladies Man Real Estate

DAVID SPADE : PERENNIAL LADIES MAN

David Spade ALMOST got away with sneaking out of the opening of Catch Steak LA this weekend with a very young and beautiful girl (right behind him.) He’s not the kind of guy to FLAUNT his puzzling success with the female sex, but he continues quietly scoring with women, even though he’s 57 – and 5’7” on a good day. Ex -fling Heather Locklear claimed he is well endowed, but he’s shy and won’t talk about that. His sense of humor has to be a big draw -and he’s an astute businessman. The SNL grad just sold his 6400 sq ft Edward Fickett Trousdale home for $19.5 million (he bought it for 4 million in 2001.) He’s NOT down-sizing- he already moved into his brand new $13.85 million, 11,300 sq ft bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills.

Ben Affleck House Jennifer Lopez Real Estate

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.

Adoption Kids Real Estate Sandra Bullock

SANDRA BULLOCK’S KIDS DON’T KNOW HOW LUCKY THEY ARE

Not only is she a focused mom, but Sandra Bullock is a real estate mogul. Not a PERFECT mogul, but close. We couldn’t imagine a celebrity LOSING money on a real estate deal in these strange times, but Sandra managed to do it. She sold her two condos in Beverly Hills’ Sierra Towers and took a LOSS of 1.5 million dollars. Too bad, but that still leaves her with a huge portfolio of homes and properties worth almost 100 million dollars. After she divorced Jesse James in 2010, Sandra decided to adopt. (It’s lucky she didn’t have kids with HIM) Sandra adopted Louis in 2010 – he’s 12 now, and Laila in 2015 – she’s 10 now. Sandra’s boyfriend Bryan Randall has turned out to be an enthusiastic stepdad for the kids, so they’ve got the life most children can only dream about…

Abel Abel Tesfaye For Sale Penthouse Real Estate The Weeknd

THE WEEKND GREW OUT OF HIS PENTHOUSE

Perhaps Angelina Jolie should take a closer look at The Weeknd– they’ve had a few dinner dates, and now the singer (real name Abel Tesfaye) has put his 8000 sq ft Wilshire corridor penthouse on the market for $22.5 million. It has four bedrooms and eight (!) gorgeous bathrooms, a private elevator, and wraparound views of LA. The building features a saltwater pool and a helipad. (We happen to think there’s not enough outdoor space for a penthouse) The Weeknd might agree, because he’s packing up and leaving this place for the larger 70 million dollar Bel-Air estate he recently acquired.

Closet Kim Kardashian

KIM KARDSHIAN’S FORMER “CLOSET” FOR SALE FOR $3.7 MILLION

Back in 2003, when Kanye West started finding some success, he bought a modern house in the Hollywood Hills. When he started dating Kim, she moved in for awhile, until they eventually relocated to a Bel Air mansion. What happened to the 4200 sq ft house? It became Kim’s CLOSET! She had such an enormous wardrobe, even back then, that the entire home was turned into a jumbo closet and storage area just for her clothing. Eventually, Kanye sold the house and Kim found other storage space, but it’s back on the market and now you can buy Kim’s former “closet “ for 3.7 million dollars. Hopefully the family’s new Kardashian Kloset online resale store will clear out some of their many overstuffed closets…
