Celebrity Homes

The bitchy beauties of "America's Next Top Model" made a pricey Manhattan loft their personal romper room, according to a new report, causing $500K in damage -- and supposedly reneging on a $125K settlement deal.

TMZ just spoke to two residents of 39 Lispenard Street, and they confirmed that the place was "trashed," and that the management company has had "serious" problems with their not-so-model neighbors.

Earlier, the New York Post reported that the 14 girls splattered "ketchup and coffee" all over the walls, damaged a $15,000 chandelier "beyond repair" and caused $90,000 of damage to a store below. What's more, according to the Post, the crew "punched hundreds of holes in the ceiling" and tore up the Brazilian wood floors.

The "Malcolm in the Middle" star has just listed his 1,972 square foot, five bedroom and four bathroom Hollywood Hills home for sale -- and according to the LA Times it's going for a little under $3.9 million dollars. But property records indicate Muniz purchased the house in January of 2006 for almost $3.5 mil. According to TMZ's sources, Muniz did "extensive upgrades" on the home. Unless he was in the Home Depot do-it-yourself section, the gain from this property may not be as much as Frankie's pockets would like.

Britney Spears has been charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Both charges are misdemeanors, each carrying a maximum of 6 months in jail.

The charges stem from an August 6 incident in L.A. where Spears was in a private parking lot in the San Fernando Valley.

The Los Angeles City Attorney filed charges this afternoon.

Spears' arraignment is set for October 10.

The City Attorney sent Spears a letter notifying her of the charges. That letter was mailed today.

The victim filed a police report at the LAPD North Hollywood Division on August 9 and filed a report.

After leaving her lawyer's office, Britney went to a home in Bel Air.

A neighbor says the home is owned by a nurse. Ding dang, y'all, we don't know why she was there. After that, she went to a pet store in Malibu. We'll post that video tomorrow.

"Married With Children" star Christina Applegate has finalized her divorce with that cute guy from the Tom Hanks movie, court papers show today.

According to documents, Applegate gets control of bank accounts totaling $4.3 million, the couple's two homes, a 2006 Mercedes and all interest in Moolah Productions, Inc. -- whatever that is.

That cute guy from the Tom Hanks movie (aka Johnathon Schaech) receives control of bank accounts totaling $1.5 million, a 2001 Mercedes, and a cement Buddha currently in Applegate's possession.

Sources in Cyrus' Toluca Lake, Calif. neighborhood tell TMZ that ever since the 46-year-old moved into his multi-million dollar home two months ago, he's been letting his hound take huge, giant dumps -- on their lawns! We're told this is a continuing problem, since "Hannah Montana's" dad walks his dog every night. Achy breaky fart!

According to Cyrus' rep, Billy Ray is fanatical about curbing his dog and this must have been an isolated incident. When we contacted Billy Ray himself, his only comment was "The more you stomp in sh*t, the more it stinks." Smell that!

TMZ got video of the house today -- the place Smith called home until the bank foreclosed on the property 10 days ago. The 4 bedroom/4 bath house is located in the L.A. suburb of Sherman Oaks. The wreckage inside is breathtaking.

The words "Please view this lesson in finality" were scrawled on one of the walls. Bitter, party of one! The real estate tear-sheet on the house reads, "Absolutely the worst house in a prime location," offered for a cool $1.149 mil!

TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton has not only had her sentence cut short, she is already out of jail!

Unimpeachable sources tell TMZ the deal was sealed yesterday, and that Hilton made her exit early early this morning.

She was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail, but that was reduced to 23. She served a total of five days -- the normal stay for a violation of this kind. Her five days began Sunday night and concluded early Thursday morning.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department will hold a news conference in an hour to discuss what went down.

UPDATE 10:16: LA County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says that Paris Hilton has been fitted for an ankle bracelet and put under house arrest for the next 40 days, after authorities decided to release Paris from jail due to medical reasons. She got out of jail just after 2:00 AM.

Whitmore says he cannot release details about Paris' "medical issue" due to confidentiality, but said that medical officials "constantly examined" her while she was in jail.

Paris will be under house confinement in her West Hollywood home for 40 days. After the 40 days are up, Whitmore says she will have "fulfilled her debt to society."

Whitmore made it clear that Paris was not released early -- she was reassigned. She is technically still in custody.

The property comes fully loaded, with 8 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and 6,500 square feet of living space. With marble floors, a gourmet chef's kitchen, home theater, recording studio, pool, spa, and a tennis/basketball court, it's everything an indicted rapper could ever hope to unload to pay legal bills.

But it wasn't cost that led him to fill his yard with goats for almost a week. According to Lance's MySpace blog, "Great Grazing" is "an enviromentally safe way of clearing out brush" to prevent fires. Lance got a kick out of watching the goats graze on his land. Some people spend Thanksgiving with a turkey, Lance spent his with 14 goats!

TMZ has obtained exclusive footage of 20-year-old Muniz on the hunt for his dream house, which would take him out of his star-studded neighborhood (Keanu Reeves, Tobey Maguire), and drop the syndie-rich elf into a $12 million cliffside property set high above Los Angeles.

With breathtaking views and ultra-lush landscaping, Frankie's potential palace comes pre-pimped. The 9000 sq. ft. property includes four gargantuan bedrooms, seven baths, a state-of-the-art gym, a garage the size of a church parking lot, and its own nightclub!

Frankie's current place isn't exactly shabby. The 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath pad has a fire-ringed Jacuzzi. Plus, he's already set up the master bedroom with a huge mirror above the bed. Hey, look at me, I'm shtupping!

Tori Spelling has left the 90210.

Banished from her 123-room childhood home by mommie dearest Candy Spelling, TMZ has learned that mom-to-be Tori and her man-wife Dean McDermott are about to become, dare we say, renters!

Tori, who hasn't spoken to Candy since the death of her TV mogul father Aaron Spelling, is moving into an apartment building located in a not-so-exclusive section of Brentwood. Dean-O, I have a feeling we're not in Beverly Hills anymore.

While the building does include a pool and fitness center, Tori will have to get used to roughing it, since her new digs don't include a private bowling alley, ice skating rink or gift-wrapping room. Oh the humanity!

Luckily, it seems Tori and her second hubby won't have any trouble making their monthly rent, as they're set to start production on a new reality show for Oxygen, which will follow them as they open a bed and breakfast and await the arrival of their baby.

Oscar winner Nicolas Cage's Bel Air estate is on the market for a whopping $35 million.

The brick-walled seven bedroom, seven bath two story estate features a pool, projection room, library, custom built wine cellar and state of the art security system.

And if you happen to be staying at Chez Cage and find the accommodations not to your liking, fear not, because you can always retire to the two bedroom, two bath guest house also located on the property.

Cage's landmark home sits about a mile from another famous estate -- the site of the home on "The Beverly Hillbillies. "

Unfortunately, considering the current declining real estate market, Cage's home may not exactly be gone in sixty seconds.

Diane Sawyer skipped out on a party thrown for Chris Cuomo, Sam Champion and other "Good Morning America" staffers last Friday -- and a source says that it's a sure sign that the news diva is planning on leaving the show soon.

Just as the competition heats up with "Today" after Meredith Vieira's arrival, a Sawyer sayonara could be a difficult blow to the ABC morning property. "The staff took Diane's absence as a clear message she is leaving the show," says a source to Rush & Molloy, "and is slowly starting to separate herself from it." Sawyer, say the columnists, had just arrived from interviewing Mel Gibson in his first post-DUI sit-down.

But an ABC rep dismisses any notion of Diane leaving: "She was sick in bed. She called [ABC News chief] David Westin and ['GMA' producer] Jim Murphy to see if she should still come. They urged her stay home."

TMZ has learned that Candy Spelling, Aaron's widow, has quietly put the Spellings' legendary mansion on the market for $150 million.

Sources in the real estate industry say Westside Estate Agency (WEA) has a pocket listing on the 56,000 square foot estate, meaning it is quietly being shopped among realtors and select buyers. The mansion, located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of L.A., was completed in 1991 for around $47 million, which includes $10 million for the land.
