DJ AM's mother wants to be named as special administrator of his estate, so she can sell her son's house in Los Angeles.
In documents just filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Andrea Gross says AM had already hired a real estate broker to sell his house, and that her son was about to "accept an offer at the time of his death."
Andrea wants the court to allow her to finalize the sale. The two bedroom, two bathroom house -- pictured above -- is on the market for $699,000.
AM's mother also wants the court to allow her to negotiate settlements of the lawsuits he filed after the 2008 airplane crash he survived along with Travis Barker.
UPDATE: A judge has granted Andrea's requests.

Mel Gibson's divorce is rolling along, but we're told it ain't gonna be as simple as a clean 50/50 split.
First of all, it looks like Mel's reported wealth -- $900,000,000 -- is inflated. The business people are still figuring it out, but a huge portion of his net worth is tied up in real estate. As one source put it, relative to his wealth, there's not a lot of cash involved.
That's not to say Mel and Robyn are living on a budget. They have millions in the bank ... we're told Mel is pulling in about $17 million on his latest movie project.
Now here's where it gets complicated. Some of the real estate is being held in trust for their children. As for the rest of the real estate, it's not a good time to sell, but we're told they will most likely have to liquidate the lion's share of these assets for their property settlement.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have just purchased a mansion that was formerly owned by Gregory Peck -- thereby placing the couple the closest they will ever get to an acting Oscar.
The 8,000 square foot ranch house in the Pacific Palisades was sold to the couple for a whopping $17.5 million by mega-producer Brian Grazer, according to Hot Property. The five bedroom house features a gym, swimming pool and eight bathrooms -- and Gregory Peck once shot an ad for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in the den.
The house was originally listed for $27.5 mil. Times are tough people, sometimes $17.5 mil is all a man can get.

Former "Lost" star and soon-to-be ex-Hawaiian, Dominic Monaghan, is looking to make the move to Hollywood. Several TMZ spies have spotted Dom's Prius with Hawaiian license plates at several homes for sale in the Hollywood Hills and surrounding areas.
Dom, whose character drowned last season, will have to get used to living separate from his girlfriend and "Lost" star, Evangeline Lilly, whose character is alive and well. Could this move possibly mean that there's trouble on the home front for the two? Probably not. It just means that the man needs a new gig.
Calls to Monaghan's rep were not immediately returned.

Not that he has the time to enjoy it, but talk titan Larry King just snapped up one of his biggest 'gets' yet: a $12 million Tuscan-style estate in Beverly Hills.
According to the Los Angeles Times Hot Property column, the one get that's eluded him for years had been a new house in his neighborhood. Ironically, it took just two days for wife Shawn Southwick to find a regal new place. It's got seven bedrooms and nine thrones (bathrooms), and was renovated recently with roof tiling from a 200-year-old monastery -- by none other than the wife of actor Sidney Poitier.
Life is good for the 73-year-old King.

We know him as Reese, the bullying dimwit older brother on Fox's "Malcolm in the Middle," but it seems Justin Berfield is no dummy. He's now on the fast track to become a Hollywood mogul.
The 21-year-old is stepping behind the camera to produce feature films and television projects through his own production company, J2TV/J2 Pictures. He's got two films slated, "Captain Trips: A Biography of Jerry Garcia," the first authorized biography of the legendary Grateful Dead guitarist, and the Jessica Simpson vehicle, "Blonde Ambition."
Berfield is also developing a challenge-based reality series featuring legendary NASCAR driver Richard Petty. Justin also owns ten residential and commercial properties in the Los Angeles area, including Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's former home from MTV's "Newlyweds."
Not bad for 21.

For any of you hard-core Beatles fans out there with a few million dollars laying around, John Lennon's former home in the U.K. is on the market.
Lennon bought the property in 1964 at the height of Beatlemania and lived there with his first wife Cynthia and son Julian. The house was also the site of the blossoming relationship between Lennon and Yoko Ono. In fact, in Cynthia Lennon's book "John" she wrote that she returned home from vacation early to find Yoko Ono in her house wearing her bathrobe. Ouch!
The house is on the market for $11.1 million and is 24 miles southwest of London and features six bedrooms, five reception rooms, a playroom, sauna, swimming pool and enough music history to keep your cocktail party conversations interesting for the rest of your life.
So while money can't buy you love, it can definitely buy the house that love broke up.
