Marvin Winans Whitney Houston's Pastor Carjacked in Detroit
Pastor Marvin Winans -- the guy who M.C.'d Whitney Houston's funeral service -- was carjacked at a Detroit gas station yesterday.
According to WXYZ, Winans was pumping gas when some scumbag roughed him up and stole the 54-year-old's Infiniti QX56 SUV. The pastor told a WXYZ reporter he had a feeling this was "not a good situation" when he first saw the group of guys who eventually jumped him.
Winans -- whose family is legendary in the gospel music world -- was not seriously injured, but his son, Marvin Winans Jr., tells TMZ his dad has checked into a hospital to get treatment.
According to police, 4 suspects jacked an undisclosed amount of cash from Winans, and got away in the SUV. They describe three of the suspects as Black males.
Marvin gave the eulogy at Whitney's funeral in New Jersey back in February -- and thanked Whitney's mom for bringing "the world" to church.
Ellen DeGeneres Estate
Ryan Seacrest Now
Officially the Proud Owner
It's official ... Ryan Seacrest is the owner of Ellen DeGeneres' epic, Beverly Hills estate.
We've learned title was officially transferred to Ryan on Wednesday.
We have now learned exactly what Ryan paid for the property. Ellen listed it at $49 million, and although one of our sources told us Ryan paid close to the asking price, we have now confirmed Ryan paid just under $39 mil.
We broke the story Ryan snagged the estate, which covers a city block and is just shy of 3 acres. In addition to the 9,200 square foot main house, there are 3 other houses on the property. The gym is the size of a large health club.
As for Ellen, she bought the main house from "Will and Grace" producer Max Mutchnick for $29 mil and then purchased the surrounding properties. Bottom line ... we're told Ellen lost money on the deal, but given the real estate slump, she still did ok.
Forbes says Ryan raked in $59 mil last year, so he can afford it.
