Dr. Phil is trying to unload his dinky little mansion on the Sunset Strip ... the weakest property in his $40 million dollar L.A. real estate collection ... and all he wants is a mere $2.7 mil.

TMZ has learned ... the doc just officially listed the 2,300 square foot Hollywood home ... which sits right above the infamous Chateau Marmont.

Phil bought the pad in 2008 for $2.56 million -- after falling in love with its 3-bedrooms, 2-baths, hardwood floors, swimming pool and panoramic L.A city views.

The move comes as no surprise -- considering the doc has been on a mission to sell off a bunch if his real estate ever since he dropped $29.5 million on an 11,000 square foot palace in Bev Hills in 2010.

Just last year, Phil sold his OTHER Beverly Hills mansion for $12 million ... and listed his 7,000 square foot hideaway in Beverly Glen for a cool $6.25 mil -- though he's since pulled that home off the market.

Moral of the Story -- Dr. Phil has entirely too much money.

Billy Joel must be INSANE -- like certifiably insane -- 'cause the Piano Man has grown tired of his INCREDIBLE Miami Beach estate ... and put the place up for sale for the low low price of $14.75 mil.

The 8,881 square foot oceanfront palace -- located on the ultra-exclusive La Gorce Island -- boasts 7 bedrooms, 8.5 baths ... and happens to be surrounded by famous neighbors like Cher and Lil Wayne.

Joel bought the place in 2006 for $13.5 mil -- it's unclear why he's decided to leave.

But if you've got the cash ... this place is a dream pad ...with a gourmet chef kitchen, wine cellar, bad-ass swimming pool and of course 150 feet of water frontage.

... 'cause everyone needs a place to park their boat.

Thanks to South Beach Condo Blog for the heads up.

Jesse Metcalfe is too busy working on the remake of "Dallas" to be bothered with Los Angeles ... choosing to unload his so cal mansion for a cool $1.7 million.

The 33-year-old former "Desperate Housewives" star -- who has been in Texas filming his new show -- sold his 2,000 sq. ft, 3-bdrm, 3-bath Beverly Hills home recently.

The rustic mansion features hardwood floors, exposed dark wood beams, stone fireplaces, a built in BBQ, Koi pond and cascade waterfall for all you nature-loving zen seekers out there.

So sayonara Jesse ... don't let the Koi pond hit you on the way out.

The "Glee" chicks are getting way too much dough to sing other people's hits songs ... 'cause 3 of 'em bought sweet new pads in the last MONTH alone!

Naya Rivera -- aka the hispanic one -- is now in the Hills of Beverly after scooping up a 3300 sq. ft. home listed at $1.575 million. 4-bedrooms, 3.5-baths, indoor sauna AND a pool! Baller.

Co-star Jenna Ushkowitz -- aka the asian one -- went condo style ... purchasing a 1-bedroom in Hollywood. Listing price was a more frugal $630k, but here's the kicker -- $1178 monthly for HOA dues. Dayuum, Jenna!



And as TMZ first reported, Lea Michele -- aka the diva one -- is setting up shop in an oddly unpretentious little $1.4 million L.A. area home. 



So, we gotta ask ...

Octomom has deep, dark plans for the money she's earning with her new solo masturbation video -- telling TMZ, she wants to buy a "dungeon" with the cash ... to keep her and her 14 kids safe from the prying eyes of the public.

Of course, "dungeon" is a metaphor -- what Nadya Suleman means is she wants to buy a house that's far away from everything ... preferably in a low-key gated community ... where she can "hide."

Octo was on her way into Makeup Mandy in West Hollywood this week -- to get a spray tan for her big shoot -- and she told us, "The only dream I have is to buy a safe home for my family."

Octo wouldn't comment on how much she's getting paid for the gig -- but she did say she's extremely nervous. That makes 6 billion of us.

Star Jones just raked in a $500k profit by selling her NYC penthouse ... the same penthouse she once described as a moldy, leaky, dangerous disaster area.

Jones bought the 3-bedroom, three-story, 1,936-square-foot pad back in 2001 for $980,000 ... back when she was still cashing checks from "The View."

But after 11 years, one divorce, a lap-band surgery and a feud with Barbara Walters ... Jones managed to sell the swanky digs for a colossal $1.55 million ... which for all you math nerds, is a cool $570k in profit.

Now, here's the rub -- Jones HATED the place ... and even sued the building for $700,000 back in 2008 ... claiming the place had water problems that led to mold that led to a disgruntled TV star.

Jones eventually settled the lawsuit with the building ... and we're guessing the water problem was eventually taken care of.

But apparently, the buyer didn't care about the disgusting history ... and will now enjoy the rooftop terrace, sweeping city views, 2 fireplaces, gold tiled master bathroom, steam shower, and a second "party" kitchen devoted solely to soirees for all its yuppie, economy-proof, guests.

So, we gotta ask ...

Wanna buy an AMAZING beachfront property? Do you also have A LOT of bleach? Then you might be interested in Tiger Woods' crash pad in Orange County, CA ... 'cause it's officially on the market.

TMZ has learned ... Tiger's 2000 sq. foot condo in Corona Del Mar -- the one he purchased back in 2004 -- has been listed for a cool $2.495 million. According to reports, he bought the place for $3 mil.

The place is pretty nice ... with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a beautiful view of the ocean ... and plenty of privacy to bang all the floozies you want without your wife knowing.

In fact, Jamie Jungers reportedly claimed she spent LOTS of quality time at the pad ... before Tiger got caught.

Like we said ... bleach.

Kevin Federline is an inconsiderate homewrecker ... so says his former landlord ... who claims K-Fed trashed his L.A. mansion ... and then screwed him out of rent money.

Federleezy is being sued by Joseph Malek ... who claims Britney's ex moved in to his mansion in Tarzana, CA back in 2008 ... wrecked the place ... and then bolted without forking over a check for 7 months of rent.

Malek had threatened Federline with legal action back in 2009 ... claiming KFed turned the sprawling Valley property into a cigarette-riddled, spit-stained dump ... complete with broken smoke detectors and glass bottles littered all over the yard.

Malek had previously claimed KFed caused more than $110k in damage -- and now he wants a judge to force the former rapper to pay up.

Attempts to reach KFed were unsuccessful.

Jessica Simpson's new baby girl arrived in the lap of luxury ... 'cause the hospital she was born in offers the crème de la crème of birthing suites --  if you open your wallet wider than a birthing uterus.

We're told Cedars-Sinai offers several VIP suites for pocket heavy new moms, but it's NOT the $500k mentioned in some reports. 

The BEST suite you can snag -- a 3-bdrm, 2-bath private pad within the hospital -- will run $3,784 a day ... more than what Beyonce spent  -- $3,200 a night --  on her luxury, 4 bedroom birthing suite.


All that green goes a long way ... Jessica's suite boasts flat screen TV's, chilled juices on ice, muffin baskets, manis & pedis for wiped out new moms and a private dinner for two post-labor.

Simpson just delivered baby girl -- Maxwell Drew Johnson -- this AM, weighing in at 9 pounds, 13 ounces.

TMZ has obtained pictures of Octomom Nadya Suleman's home that have triggered a police and child services investigation into allegations that her 14 kids are living in horrendous conditions and are being grossly neglected.

TMZ broke the story, Octo's hairstylist, Stephanie, went to La Habra cops Tuesday afternoon and filed a formal complaint. A La Habra cop and 3 reps from the Orange County Department of Children and Family Services went to Octo's house Tuesday night to investigate.

One picture shows two children pooping in a portable training toilet in the backyard. We're told the plumbing in the house is shot, and only one toilet is operational. 

Another photo shows Octo just after she got her hair done. What's shocking is that she locked her kids in the bedroom by propping a chair against the door so they couldn't get out.

Yet another pic shows the children's bedroom, with 2 cribs and a mattress. Stephanie told cops some of the kids are forced to sleep on the floor.

And there's more ... a pic shows some of the kids in the backyard, barefoot, dirty and wearing no pants.



Stephanie tells TMZ, "The kids are in desperate need of help, and I tried to help and she's not open to anyone helping her." She says the boys are wearing girl's clothes, they are neglected and Nadya is just incapable of caring for them.

Authorities stayed at Octo's home Tuesday night for an hour-and-a-half, and determined the kids were not in danger. There will, however, be follow-up with Children's Services.

Britney Spears is not taking a chance of losing the dude who wants to plunk down $4,253,000 to buy her Beverly Hills estate -- we've learned the conservators have cancelled the court hearing tomorrow which would have allowed other prospective buyers to overbid.

We broke the story -- Britney accepted the $4.253 mil offer, which is impressive considering the house was listed at $2,995,000.

Since Britney is under a conservatorship, the probate could generally hold a hearing which essentially turns into a bidding war. But we're told Britney's conservator and her lawyers asked the judge to cancel the hearing -- which was scheduled for tomorrow -- and they got their wish.

So, the $4.253 million offer sticks. It's good news/bad news ... even though Britney got significantly more than the asking price, she bought the estate in 2007 for $6.8 mil.
