Celebs are used to purchasing million dollar homes and trading them like baseball cards, but with the economy hitting rock bottom, stars like Britney Spears, Richard Gere, Elle Macpherson and Shaquille O'Neal have drastically slashed millions on their mansions on the market.

If you ever wanted to live in your Idol's digs -- now's the time.

If you have ever wanted more bathrooms than you know what to do with -- then Richard Gere has got what you need.

Gere recently put his seven bedroom, 10.5 bath, Long Island farm house up for sale for a cool $8.8 mil. While there are other nice luxuries -- like a heated pool, guest house and an artists studio -- the main draw here is the ridiculous number of bathrooms.
The porcelain Gods have never shone brighter.

The Hampton Social @ Ross welcomed its usual crowd of aging New York celebrities -- and Mischa Barton.
The former "OC" actress arrived dressed like a futuristic flapper bot, with a wacky Willie Nelson headband. Flap, flap, flap away!
Also attending: comedy power couple Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, Sirius mega-millionaire Howard Stern and fiancee Beth Ostrosky -- who wasn't scared off by Howard's heinous shirt. Richard Gere dropped in, as did newsboy Ed Burns with model wife Christy Turlington, a not-so-fresh looking Renee Zellweger, and "SNL" mastermind Lorne Michaels.
Newest alcohol anklet wearer Eve was spotted at the U.S. Open tennis party at the Gansevoort Hotel, and "Sea of Love" actress Ellen Barkin had lunch at the Bread Factory Cafe.
Spotlight Live hosted WWE's "Biggest Fan Party" in Times Square, where wrestlers took the stage -- to sing karaoke! Seen leaving the event were monster-sized wrestler Batista and WWE Championship title holder John Cena.

Hindu nationalists are burning Richard Gere in effigy -- no, not because of "Shall We Dance," but because of his over-affectionate behavior toward a popular Bollywood actress.
Photographs hit front pages of newspapers in India today, showing Gere kissing Shilpa Shetty on the cheek at an AIDS awareness event in New Delhi -- where public displays of affection are taboo. In protest, members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group, Shiv Sena, beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks and burned pictures of Shetty.
In the video, Gere can be seen kissing Shetty several times on the hand before hugging and kissing her on the cheek -- cheered on by fans the entire time. When Gere took to the mic, he led to the crowd in a "No condom, no sex" chant in Hindi.
Shetty came to the defense of Gere today, saying, "I understand that it might have looked like he went slightly overboard, but that was really not the intention. His intention was that of entertaining the people. "

Sly started his career by flashing his flesh in a little flick called "Party at Kitty and Stud's." Although it sounds very "Weekend at Bernie's," don't let that fool you. It's full-on porno. The movie was later re-released under the title "The Itallion Stallion," after "Rocky" made Sly a household name. For those interested, the Itallion stallion is said to be far from a stallion, if you know what we mean. This just goes to show that even though you shouldn't believe everything you hear, sometimes you should.

Richard Gere's Gerbil Mayhem
Legend is that "Pretty Woman" star Richard Gere was rushed to the emergency room to have a gerbil removed from his rectum.

Although many sources have "confirmed" that an actual case (not Richard Gere) of the gerbil in the rectum does exist, TMZ wasn't able to find such a case. We will say that this myth is just that. A big lie that has been attached to many male stars, not just Richard. There is a rumor that Richard Gere believes Sylvester Stallone started this rumor when the two actors had bad blood on the set of the 1974 movie "The Lords of Flatbush." Sly, however, claims that he did not start this rumor. As far as we know, no actual rodents or rectums were harmed, just Gere's reputation.

Sylvester Stallone thinks that Richard Gere's still mad at him for starting that whole gerbil-in-the, well, you know, story.
Stallone tells AintItCoolNews.com (via Rush & Molloy) that Gere continues to harbor a grudge (if not a rodent) because Gere believes it was Sly who started that ridiculous urban legend about Gere and the gerbil. Here's the deal: Gere and Stallone were on the set of 1974's "The Lords of Flatbush" and the two actors got into a tiff over lunch one day -- something about chicken grease, Sly's thigh, and a hot dog -- whereupon Stallone elbowed him in the side of the head.
The tension between the two actors became so fevered that Gere got kicked off the film, which still angers him today, apparently: "To this day [he] seriously dislikes me," says Sly, who adds, for the record, that he did not start the rodent rumor. Gere's rep had no comment.
Did Tom Lure J.Lo and Jim into the Church?
Could Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey be the latest high-profile converts to Scientology by Tom Cruise?
Lips flapped when J. Lo and funnyman Carrey were very visible guests at TomKat's Italian wedding extravaganza, with many wondering where their friendships might have started. But now,
says Page Six, it appears that the "mystery link" might be the Church of Scientology. Carrey is taking the introductory and beginner's courses right now, says a source, and Lopez has started talking the Scientology talk via her BFF Leah Remini, an avowed Church member.
Problems may emerge, however, as Lopez's husband Marc Anthony is a devout Catholic (though that didn't stop Katie Holmes). J. Lo's rep had no comment, and Carrey's flack says he's not taking classes.
Brad Goes Incognito in Big Apple
Brad Pitt tried to go all stealthy in a New York restaurant the other day – and it worked. Page Six says that the other day, the male half of Brangelina was in sci-fi-themed eatery Mars 2112 with son Maddox, where Brad gave the hostess the pseudonym "Jack M.," probably expecting to be winkingly "unrecognized." The woman actually
didn't recognize him, which amused Pitt.
Meanwhile, at the after-party for "The Good Shepherd" at Time Warner Center, Pitt played good waiter to Angelina Jolie, keeping her quenched with martinis and letting her do the necessary socializing with Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, and Harvey Weinstein, among others.
Party Favors: Rosie In Bed With GOP? ... Barker Donates $300,000 for Elephant ... Julia's Next Project: "Happiness"?
Rosie O'Donnell is now breaking bread with Republicans? The outwardly lefty O'Donnell recently had dinner at the New York apartment of well-known Republican fundraiser Georgette Mosbacher, says Page Six. When Mosbacher said that she was lacking donations for a rehab facility for wounded combat vets, Rosie offered $300K on the spot, which surprised Rosie's wife Kelli and her boss Barbara Walters as much as it did Mosbacher. Said Mosbacher, "There's hope for bipartisanship." ... Retiring game show host Bob Barker, who turned 83 yesterday, will give $300,000 to help an elephant from the Los Angeles Zoo to be housed in an animal sanctuary. The pledge will match donations to send Ruby, a 45-year-old African elephant, to a sanctuary in San Andreas, Calif. ... Julia Roberts is producing and possibly starring in a feature adaptation of the bestseller "Happiness Sold Separately," about a suburban wife and her withdrawal from her cheating husband,
reports Variety.

The end of days is here... well, at least the end of Katie Holmes' days as a free woman.
Today is the day Tom and Katie get married - finally - and the A-list guest-listers are going all out for the lavish ceremony. While guests like Will Smith, wife Jada Pinkett Smith and Brooke Shields looked classy and gave their well wishes to the couple as they left their hotel for the wedding, Victoria Beckham turned the paparazzi crush into the "Posh Show."
The former Spice Girl exited the Hassler Hotel with what can only be described as an oversized black plate wedged precariously on her head, posing for photos and turning the entranceway of the hotel into a fashion show.
With other guests like J. Lo, Richard Gere and Jenna Elfman in attendance, it sure sucks for them if they were sitting behind Beckham!
And in case you're wondering -- Cruise and Holmes have tied and knot and are officially husband and wife, their rep confirms to PEOPLE.

Richard Gere fears that Asia will be "lost" if the AIDS epidemic hits India hard.
The actor and AIDS activist is traveling to the subcontinent this week along with President Bush. Gere may not agree with Bush on everything, but he "certainly can praise him" for bringing attention to AIDS in India, the actor said on ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday.
"The president of the United States coming there in a world where he's seemingly obsessed with terrorism, clearly obsessed with it, and talking about HIV/AIDS in the same breath, in the same paragraph, extremely important," Gere said.

Richard Gere donned a pair of glittering gold dancing pumps to earn his pudding pot and crown Friday as Harvard's Hasty Pudding man of the year.
In a nod to his role as a flashy lawyer in "Chicago" and to the resignation this week of Harvard President Lawrence Summers Gere sang to the tune of "Razzle Dazzle":
"I could become a permanent resident, I could become your next president."
He also had to win the heart of a student costumed as a dragon, and put a blond wig and a white bra decorated with gold buttons and an accent of red.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Richard Gere and Halle Berry are this year's recipients of the annual Hasty Pudding awards, given by a student drama group at Harvard University.
The awards, announced Thursday, are given to performers who have made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment," by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.
Berry will lead a parade through the streets of Harvard Square on Feb. 16, with students dressed in drag.
Berry, 39, won an Oscar and a SAG award for her performance in "Monster's Ball." She also earned an Emmy for her performance in the HBO film "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."
Berry will reprise her role as Storm in "X3," the third installment in the "X-Men" series, due May 26.
Gere, 56, won a Golden Globe for best comedy-musical actor, for "Chicago." His other work includes "An Officer and a Gentleman," "American Gigolo," "Internal Affairs" and "Pretty Woman."
Gere is also the founder of the Gere Foundation, which contributes to health education and human rights projects and is dedicated to promoting awareness of Tibet's endangered culture.
Last year's recipients were Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tim Robbins.
