Celebrity Homes

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got a visit from L.A. County Sheriff's deputies Monday, who were there to secure the property for a little lunch the Smiths are throwing for the First Lady of the U.S. of A.

Will, Jada and Salma Hayek are hosting the $2,500-a-head lunch for Michelle Obama this Thursday. That's the bargain basement price. If people want their pic taken with Michelle Obama, the price of admission goes up to $10k a couple -- the good news, that includes lunch.

Several units from the Emergency Operations Bureau of the Sheriff's Dept. showed up to sweep the grounds ... inside and out.

File this under awwwkward ... Kris Humphries' recently-divorced mother is getting a brand new condo -- IN THE SAME FANCY BUILDING as her NBA player son!!!!!

Sources close to Kris tell TMZ ... following his parents' divorce, his mom moved out of her house in Minnesota -- and started crashing at Kris' pad in NJ.

But TMZ broke the story ... Kris recently moved to a swanky $8k/ month condo in NYC when the Nets moved to Brooklyn -- and now his mom is following suit.

We're told Kris is footing the bill on the rental (which is NOT on the same floor as his) -- but Mama Humphries DOES have a key to his apt ... and likes to show up unannounced sometimes.

Sources close to Kris tell TMZ ... his mom always wanted to move to the Big Apple and Kris couldn't tell her no -- but he also likes having her around.

Reason #5,261 Plaxico Burress needs an NFL team -- the car crash victim he was ordered to pay $159,000 ... is now asking a judge to sell off the wide receiver's house, in order to settle the debt.

As TMZ previously reported, Plax lost a car accident lawsuit back in 2008 to Alise Smith -- and was ordered to pony up $125k ... then in August of this year, he was ordered to pay an additional $34k to cover Smith's legal fees.

But in legal docs ... Alise claims she hasn't seen a dime -- and recently filed a complaint asking a judge to appoint a special commission to sell PB's Virginia Beach mansion to pay off the debt.

The 3,540 square-foot-home (below) was purchased by Plax in 2000 for $290k -- and was recently appraised for $450k. In other words, more than enough to cover his tab.

Taylor Swift is never, ever, ever ... gonna be more than a stone's throw from the Kennedys ... because TMZ has learned, Swifty DEFINITELY bought a mansion next door to their famous Cape Cod compound.

According to a local realtor ... Swift 100% will be moving across the street from Ethel Kennedy -- despite reports to the contrary. The realtor tells us the singer dropped around $4.5 million on the beachside mansion in Hyannis Port, MA.

As you know ... Taylor and 18-year-old Connor Kennedy -- grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel -- started dating a few months back.

Our sources tell us the deal will close in 3 weeks.

As for the crib -- we're talking 7 bedrooms, 6 baths, over 4,400 square feet, an acre of land and its own private beach.

Britney Spears has left Calabasas ... and moved into a brand new $8.5 MILLION mansion even further away from all of the Hollywood madness.

The 8,456 square foot home is located inside a swanky private community in Thousand Oaks, CA -- about 16 miles from Brit's old mansion in Calabasas.

Here are the stats -- 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, wine cellar, home theater and massive infinity pool.

We're told Britney made the move because she's starting a new life with fiance Jason Trawick ... and wants to be in a new home in a secure location.

Just one month after Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson allegedly called it quits ... KStew bought a house within monitoring distance of her ex ... a very weird move indeed.

Stewart dropped $2.2 mil on a Los Feliz pad that is just 1.5 miles away from her scorned ex.

RPatz kicked KStew out in July after photos surfaced that showed pretty clearly ... she was banging her married "Snow White" director Rupert Sanders.

Stewart's new home gave her easy access to R.P. -- it's a 5 minute car ride.

If the break-up was real ... her plan may have worked, because KStew and RPatz have been seen TWICE together in L.A. -- once at a local bar and again yesterday in Hollywood.

As for her house, according to Real Estalker it's pretty sweet ... 4-bedrooms, 5-baths, pool, spa, fire pits, sun terrace -- the works.

Octomom got a nice little house-warming gift this weekend -- when her brand new pad was PELTED WITH 3 DOZEN EGGS ... by some mystery vandals.

Sources close to Octo tell TMZ ... the mom of 14 wasn't home when the prank went down late Friday night -- she was in NYC attending a drag queen show at XL nightclub -- but her children were.

We're told Octo discovered the mess outside her Palmdale house when she came back Saturday morning -- with eggs covering her van, garage door and front drive-way.

Not only that ... we're told the eggs sat for so long, they attracted a ferocious army of ants, which fed off the rotting goo.

As for the damage ... we're told it cost Octo $100 to clean the eggs, and another $100 to kill the ant infestation.

Tyga INSISTS ... he's not some broke-ass squatter who's refusing to pay rent on a Malibu crib -- in fact, he claims he just bought a $6.5-million mansion 20 miles away.

TMZ broke the story ... a Malibu landlord named Gholamreza Rezai sued Tyga, claiming the rapper is screwing him on the $16,000-per-month rent ... but continues to live in the home.

But a rep for Tyga tells TMZ the lawsuit is 100% B.S ... insisting he gave the landlord the necessary 30 days notice before he left ... and everything should be square.

Tyga also claims he's definitely NOT living in the home ... because he's shacked up at a brand new 9,279-square-foot mansion he purchased in Calabasas.

The rep says the landlord is being unreasonable -- and wants to keep Tyga locked in the lease because he can't find anyone to cover the hefty rent in such a crappy economy.

Life's a bitch ... Nas sang it and now he's living it ... because besides being knee deep in tax debt, TMZ has learned the rapper just lost his Georgia crib to foreclosure.

According to official records, Nas purchased the 2-bedroom, 3-bath pad back in 2004 for $585,000 ... but according to SunTrust bank (which issued him the loan) ... Nas couldn't foot the bill and defaulted on the payments, still owing $507,000.

SunTrust recently foreclosed on the property and then sold it to the highest bidder at public auction last month for $348,500 ... WAY LESS than the rapper paid eight years ago.

It's a steal for the new owner -- the house is over 3,500 square feet with a walk-in pool and hot tub ... granite counter-tops ... custom theater ... gym and game room.

Music Mogul Birdman spent $14.5 mil in cash money for a Miami mansion the size of a Four Seasons.

The rapper -- who co-founded Cash Money Records -- bought the 19,000-sqaure-foot pad last month -- which sits on the ultra exclusive Palm Island.

The 9-bedroom, 17-bath palace is amazing -- 25-foot-ceilings ... a below ground pool ... an outdoor pool with cabana ... a theater, gym, spa area ... in-house massage room ... 100 feet of waterfront AND a private dock.

Ya know, for your awesome boat.

FUN HOUSE HISTORY: The mansion belonged to music producer Scott Storch until it was taken away from him in foreclosure 2 years ago. It was snatched up by the inventor of Rockstar energy drinks for $6.75 mil ... and then flipped to Birdman for a huge profit.

"Rack City" rapper Tyga owes WAY more than ten, ten, ten, twenties, and them fifties on his rented Malibu mansion -- so says Tyga's landlord ... and now, the guy's suing to get his money.

A man named Gholamreza Rezai filed the lawsuit against Tyga and his music company, claiming Tyga signed a one-year lease in June, agreeing to pay $16,000 per month to live in the luxurious pad ... but he stopped paying rent last month.

Rezai claims Tyga expressed a desire to move out by September 30th -- informing Rezai that fans kept showing up at his front door ... and Tyga was worried the home didn't offer enough security.

According to the suit, Rezai refused to terminate the lease agreement and demanded September's rent -- but Tyga still wouldn't ante up.

What's worse, Rezai claims Tyga still hadn't vacated the premises by September 30th ... and the rapper allegedly continues to live there. We called Tyga for his side of the story, but were unable to reach him.

A man was arrested at the home of Frances Bean Cobain today after a housesitter discovered him inside without permission ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Cobain's housesitter came across the man when she returned home today. We're told the man -- a white male in his 20s -- claimed he knew Cobain and she had given him permission to stay there.

Our sources say the housesitter didn't buy his story, so she called police. When cops arrived, we're told he gave the same story.

Law enforcement sources tell us when cops reached out to Cobain, her people told them she had no clue who the man was.

Former Atlanta Hawks star Joe Johnson wasn't too attached to his GINORMOUS Georgia mansion -- TMZ has learned he listed the place for $4.7 mil after he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

Johnson purchased the massive 13,822 square-foot-pad back in 2005 for $3.8 mil -- the same year he signed with the Hawks. Fast forward to 2012 ... Johnson is traded to Brooklyn under a $119-million contract and it's sayonara GA.

The 7-bedroom, 9-bath crib is pretty AMAZING too ... 10-foot-high ceilings ...sleek modern decor ... movie theater ... massive game room ... infinity edge pool and spa. Plus, it sits on almost 2 acres of land.

"X Factor" producers tried to pull the wool over your eyes last night -- because TMZ has learned Simon Cowell and Britney Spears' mansions on the show weren't their homes at all ... in fact, one actually belongs to MLB star Alex Rodriguez.

In case you missed last night's episode, groups of contestants were invited to perform at four different homes around the country -- each allegedly belonging to one of the show's four judges.

But it was ALL A LIE -- "Simon's" Miami pad actually belongs to A-Rod. The baseball star listed the home in August for $38,000,000, but it's still on the market. Simon's real house is in Beverly Hills.

It's unclear who really owns the Malibu home Britney appeared in last night, but one thing's for certain -- Britney does NOT own that Malibu home. Her real home is in Calabasas, many miles away.

As for the other two homes -- we can't say for SURE if they're bogus, but we're betting none of the judges wanted their real homes on public display.

While Alex Rodriguez keeps striking out, Derek Jeter strikes gold ... because he just unloaded his NYC condo for a cool $15.5 mil.

Jeter just sold his penthouse in the Trump World Tower to Brazilian magnate Silvio Luiz Reichert, says the NY Daily News. The four-bedroom apartment has 16-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, a living room, billiards room, piano lounge, wet bar, hardwood floors and an actual word-burning fireplace.

D.J. originally asked for $20 mil, but dropped the price and sealed the deal last month. Fear not ... there are no cardboard boxes in Derek's future, because he still owns a giant mansion in Tampa.

As for A-Rod, he's still trying to dump his $38 million Miami mansion. So far, no takers. Maybe he should call Raul Ibanez.

Justin Bieber is the latest victim of a 911 "Swatting" prank ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

A 911 call came in last night ... the caller claiming someone was waving a gun right next to Justin's L.A. home.

Police sent the cavalry ... cars, helicopters, the works. Sources tell us ... Justin's security let the cops in, and they did a sweep of the house but found nothing. We're also told cops did a similar sweep of 2 other homes on the block.

The block is a super-exclusive area peppered with celebs, including Travis Barker, Romeo, Kourtney Kardashian, and a number of athletes.
