Nick Lachey Time to Ditch the Bachelor Pad
Nick Lachey is desperately trying to leave his bachelor days behind -- the famous ex-husband just put his $6.8 million post-Jessica Simpson mansion up for sale ... and it is full-on awesome.
The Bel Air home is 5,214 sq. ft. ... has 4 bedrooms ... and it comes with one of the most baller pools we've ever seen.
No word if dumping the property has anything to do with Lachey's recent reunion with former MTV veejay and all-around jaw-dropping smokeshow Vanessa Minnillo -- but if anyone can get a man to sell off his bachelor's paradise, she can.

Burglar Bunch Dude I Got Screwed
Nick Prugo -- an alleged member of The Burglar Bunch -- claims in new legal docs police and prosecutors betrayed him by using information he gave them to throw the book at him.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Prugo claims he provided assistance in cracking the case -- assistance cops even said was "nothing short of remarkable."
Prugo says he had an "implied contract" with prosecutors -- in return for his cooperation, he'd get a plea bargain. But Prugo says "the prosecution has chosen to exploit Nick Prugo's cooperation" -- instead of offering a plea bargain, Prugo claims prosecutors used the info he gave them to file additional charges against him.
Prugo and other alleged members of the BB have been charged with burglarizing the homes of various celebs, including Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom.
Prugo also says in the docs he's received death threats from Jonathan Ajar -- aka Johnny Dangerous.

Brittny 'Shocked' She Was Burglar Bunch Target
Brittny Gastineau was scared to learn she was a possible target for the Burglar Bunch -- and she's even more horrified about the whole thing "being glorified for reality television." Or at least a show she isn't in.
As we first reported, Gastineau was among the celebrity names police said Nick Prugo and the gang scoped out for possible burglaries. Brittny tells us, "I was shocked to learn I was on this supposed burglary list -- it is a horrible, invasive feeling to think someone was planning something so horrific. Even more disappointing is that something as serious as this is being glorified for reality television."
Alleged Burglar Bunch member Alexis Neiers -- who has an E! show premiering tonight -- fired back, telling us, "First of all, Brittny who? I have no idea who she is. It's sad that she would say something without hearing my side of the story. I feel really bad that society has judged me when I haven't had a chance to present a defense. It will all come out on my show."

Kim Kardashian Picks Up New $4.8 Mil Pad
Carl's Jr. salads must be selling by the truckload -- 'cause Kim Kardashian just scored a new $4.8 million mansion.
Sources tell TMZ that Kim's new pad is a Mediterranean villa located in Beverly Hills. The house has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, a grand two-story entry, formal living room and dining room -- each with their own fireplaces.
We're told Reggie Bush is planning on moving into the 4,000 square foot pad -- and with that much space, half of the New Orleans Saints could crash too.

Anderson Cooper Sued Over Firehouse Spill
Anderson Cooper often puts himself in harm's way to get a story -- but a NYC woman claims she was the one put at risk and it was all his fault.
Cooper is being sued by a woman who claims she fell through a hole at a firehouse in Greenwich Village that he's converting into a new home.
According to the NY Post, the incident happened last September when the woman fell 17 feet through a hole that once contained fire pole -- the pole had been removed, but the hole remained.
The firehouse was built in 1906 and was used as such until 2006.

Lamar Odom's House -- Now with Furniture!
Lamar Odom hasn't been able to move his $2.39 million pad, so he gave it a makeover to help sell it.
We're told Lamar wants to move the Manhattan Beach house ASAP, so he cut the realtor a check to get the staging done it to make it more presentable. Lamar and his new wife, Khloe, just threw down a chunk of change on a place in Tarzana -- a cool $3.995 million.
BTW -- the furniture doesn't even come with the house. For $2.39 mil, you'd think he'd throw in a sofa at least.

It's part of a gated community -- good for keeping the paps at bay for the five minutes a day they don't want to be photographed.

Dunaway's Landlord Faye Won't Pay!
The only thing outstanding about Faye Dunaway as a tenant is the balance she allegedly owes her NYC landlord -- and if she doesn't pay up, they want her out.
According to the landlord, the Oscar winning actress owes $1,920.85 in back rent -- and we've learned Vanderleigh Properties has filed a notice of non-payment in New York County Civil Court to get it back.
We're told the last notice was posted on her door on October 23rd and it's still there. The lawyer for the landlord tells us Faye has been late with payments in the past and they're currently taking steps towards eviction.
Calls to Dunaway's reps were not returned.

Here's just a partial list of what cops found -- pearl-style necklace, several rings with yellow metal and white stones, a ring with white metal and green stones, a ring with yellow metal and red stones, a ring with yellow metal and green and white stones, a Marc Jacobs purse, a Louis Vuitton purse, 2 Chanel purses, 1 Hermes purse, a Steve Madden shopping bag, a Blackberry Edge cell phone and an LG cell phone, 4 pairs of BCBG and Marc Fisher heels, a pair of True Religion pants (which are connected to Rachel Bilson), 2 bottles of Paris Hilton perfume, 2 bottles of Chanel perfume, an Apple laptop, Gucci eyeglasses, Chanel eyeshadow, a Chanel makeup brush, Dior mascara, a Mexican passport, and a Washington State driver's license.

The search warrant return also turned up a 3-page list found at Ajar's home -- with a description of "diamonds in bag." It lists 10 separate bags, totaling 42.94 carats. The list also references dozens of pieces of expensive jewelry including a Cartier watch, a Mont Blanc watch, dozens of diamond, gold and silver rings, a diamond bracelet, and several necklaces.
Neighbors to Paris Hilton: Shut UP!!!!
Paris Hilton's neighbors in the Hollywood Hills called the cops on the heiress last night -- after Paris allegedly threw a super-loud rager at her house at around 4:00 AM.
We've learned an LAPD unit arrived to Paris' place sometime before 5:00 AM, but by the time cops showed up, the place was absolutely quiet ... too quiet.
Shockingly, it's not the first time Hilton's been accused of pissing off her neighbors. Back in May, cops rolled over to Hilton's pad twice -- in the same week -- after two major noise complaints.
UPDATE: Sources say Paris was NOT staying at the house last night .. and hasn't been for a while. We're told some friends have been using the house for the past few days while Paris has been at her other home in Beverly Hills.

Paris on Burglar Bunch: 'I Hate Them!'
Hate is a strong word -- but according to Paris Hilton, the word perfectly describes the way she feels about the members of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch who allegedly stole more than $2 million worth of her jewelry.
We got the iced up heiress last night at Mr. Chow, where she was spewing "hate" towards the merry band of jewelry snatchers.
Fellow target Audrina Patridge was out too, saying "They're going to have to face the consequences" -- which right now amounts to a helluva lot of felony charges.

Fox, Green Allegedly Hit by Burglar Bunch
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are used to being hit on -- not hit. But that's exactly what happened to them, courtesy of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch -- allegedly.
Law enforcement sources tell us Green's Hollywood Hills home was burglarized during the string of celeb break-ins. Various items were taken, including Green's recreational gun, which was locked up.
As for Fox, who spends a lot of time at Green's, all the Burglar Bunch allegedly took were clothes -- including several of Megan's signature t-shirts.

As we have been reporting, TMZ has obtained photos, emails and other data from a computer that the gang allegedly stole from an L.A. businessman. One of the photos on the hard drive -- the photo of Megan Fox we're using for this post.
