Celebrity Homes

The home of Bruce and Kris Jenner was swarmed by cops this afternoon, after someone placed a 911 call claiming someone was shot inside the house and armed people were still inside ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us ... police came in force to the Hidden Hills residence -- several helicopters and cops on the ground with machine guns and other weapons. We're told there were at least 15 officers on site, who locked down the entire street.

The caller said he/she was in the house, hiding in a closet.

We're told it was all a hoax and the Kardashians are now the latest swatting victims. As we first reported, Tom Cruise fell victim yesterday, when a swatter placed a 911 call to Bev Hills cops.

Law enforcement tells us the 911 caller gave an address near the Kardashian house, but cops believe the target was the Kardashian home and they went to Kris' door and told her they got a call someone was hiding in her closet.

We're told Bruce, Kris, Kylie and Kendall were all present and cops ordered them out of their house while they searched it.

Police just swarmed Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills estate after someone placed a 911 call saying there was an armed intruder on the property ... TMZ has learned.

Beverly Hills cops were all over the property and found nothing.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... it appears to be the latest incident of celebrity swatting.

Tom was not home at the time. We're told the only people in the house were some security officers and a cook.

FYI, a 12-year-old was arrested recently for allegedly committing a swatting prank against Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber.

First Heather Graham ... then Skrillex ... now Sharon Osbourne has fallen victim to the terrifying fire power of CANDLES -- after falling asleep last night before extinguishing a candle in her home.

Law enforcement sources tell us, the BHFD responded to the Osbourne home around 4:45 AM today in response to a fire -- but thankfully, they arrived before the blaze had done significant damage.

We're told the firefighters dealt with the situation -- and shared some important fire safety tips with Sharon before hitting the road ... namely, don't fall asleep with lit candles in your house.

Now Sharon has some advice for candle enthusiasts everywhere -- telling TMZ, "Please everybody always check all the candles lit in the house before going to bed. I didn't, and at 5am this morning I was met with 5 gorgeous men from the BH Fire Department as they put out the fire in my house."

Hey "Dallas" fans, get ready to break open your piggy banks ...'cause the L.A. penthouse iconic villain Larry Hagman called home ... officially hit the market for a cool $5.2 million.

Hagman -- who played the conniving J.R. Ewing on the show -- passed away in November ... and now his 3,029-square-foot ritzy beach pad has been listed by realtor David Solomon.

We're told it was the actor's primary residence at the time of his death.

The eclectic 2-bedroom condo is fit for a king ... it's one block from the beach and is rockin' panoramic ocean views, floor-to-ceiling windows, brightly colored interiors, a jacuzzi tub -- and a bedroom where the gold sheets match the wallpaper. Literally.

Do you have a spare $2.2 million lying around? GREAT ... 'cause 7x NBA champion Robert Horry is unloading his Texas mansion and now it can be all yours ... yeeeeeeehaw!!!!

"Big Shot Rob" bought the 8,440-square-foot pad back in 2007 -- the same year he scored his 7th NBA championship -- and now he's finally ready to let it go.

It's a pretty sweet deal for the price ... the house is rockin' 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, gym, study, master suite with a fireplace and best of all 2.4 acres of lush oasis living -- we're talking palm trees, gazebo, resort-style pool, spa, tennis courts and a fully-equipped outdoor BBQ.

"Shahs of Sunset" real estate guru Reza Farahan is a bona fide expert on living the high life ... so when Ziggy Marley -- Bob Marley's son -- wanted to snag a primo joint in L.A. ... he knew exactly where to turn.

That's right ... with Reza's help, the Reggae singer scored a brand new crib for $1.1 million!!!

FYI -- Reza's a real estate agent in real life ... in case that wasn't clear.

We're told Ziggy bought the 2,613-square-foot house as an investment property. It's actually two pads attached together -- a duplex -- each with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.

It's a pretty rare find ... the place dates back to the 1920's and hasn't been on the market in over 4 decades. Plus, it's rocking hardwood floors, granite counters, updated cabinetry and a giant backyard.

... full of grass.

Jermaine Dupri's Atlanta mansion must have 9 lives -- because the music legend just saved the place from foreclosure ... for the SECOND TIME in 4 months.

TMZ broke the story ... Jermaine's house came within inches of the auction block back in September -- after he allegedly failed to make $193,404 in mortgage payments -- but the producer successfully staved off the foreclosure sale, claiming the bill was erroneous.

But after Jermaine again allegedly failed to cough up payments, a new auction date was set for January 2nd.

And once again, Jermaine rescued his home -- filing an emergency motion just days after Christmas, insisting the foreclosure company has continually failed to prove that Jermaine actually owes the money it claims he does.

The company claims he owes roughly $410,000 on the home -- Jermaine insists he only owes $111,845.

The judge sided with Jermaine -- despite the producer admitting in the court docs that he hasn't made a mortgage payment since November 2011 -- and canceled the auction.

Faye Resnick got a crappy housewarming -- an alleged stalker creeping around the place -- but on the upside, she got herself an awesome spot in the Hollywood Hills just a few months ago.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star -- who famously testified against OJ Simpson AND modeled for Playboy -- snagged the 2,567-square-foot home for a cool $1.6 million.

Resnick's pad is rockin' 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, gazebo, built-in BBQ, and solar-heated-pool.

Just a few weeks after Faye moved in, an alleged stalker snuck onto the property and left a threatening note on her car.

Did we mention the backyard full of fruit trees?

FIRE SAFETY 101 ... never leave burning candles unattended -- a lesson Heather Graham learned the hard way ... WHEN HER BATHROOM WENT UP IN FLAMES!!!

Heather's swanky NYC pad caught fire Saturday night ... after she left a few mood-setting candles burning in her bathroom before heading out for the night. The flames later ignited some clothes hanging nearby ... according to the NY POST.

The NY Fire Department raced to the scene -- and spent 45 minutes battling the blaze, says the report.

Heather -- who was not home at the time -- was quickly informed of the situation and rushed back ... only to find her 12th-story-crib a little toastier than she left it.

A real estate war could be brewing between a Bad Boy founder and a "Bad Boys" producer ... 'cause TMZ has learned Diddy is in the market for the same $23 million Bev Hills mansion that Jerry Bruckheimer is hoping to buy.

Our real estate sources tells us ... Diddy is on the hunt for a brand new pad in certain upscale parts of L.A. ... and one of the homes on his radar is the famous 19,590-square-foot "Harry Cohn" estate in Beverly Hills. In fact, Diddy was photographed at the estate just a few days ago.

Problem is ... Jerry Bruckheimer is also interested in the pad ... and as we previously reported, he put a $23 million offer on the house earlier this month.

Bruckheimer is supposed to close on the house on January 17, but if Diddy decides he HAS to have it, he can still swoop in with a higher bid up until the last minute.

But Jerry shouldn't panic just yet ... sources tell us Diddy probably won't make an offer because he was only planning on dropping $15 mil during this particular real estate venture (even gazillionaires got a budget).

Meantime, sources tell us ... Diddy's been checking out a bunch of other swanky homes with real estate agent Kurt Rappaport -- including a $19 million crib in Bel Air ... with 10 bdrms, 11 baths, staff quarters, media room, wine cellar, sauna ... the works.

Sheryl Crow REALLY wants to unload her Hollywood Hills mansion ... so much so she's offering a little incentive ... as in $2 MILLION OFF the original asking price, ahhhhhhh!!!

Unfortunately ... even with a discount ... it still costs a hefty $14 million. Awwwww.

TMZ broke the story ... Sheryl listed her rustic 11-acre-estate -- which contains THREE houses on one property -- back in October for $15,950,000. Turns out in this economy ... no takers.

Trying to spice things up ... Sheryl drastically reduced the price this month. So now the infinity pool, campsites, hiking trails, 3 separate abodes, wine cellar and palapas can all be yours ...

Kobe Bryant's wife just lost one-third of her real estate portfolio ... unloading one of the three Newport Beach mansions Kobe gave her right after they split back in 2011 ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Vanessa Bryant listed the 6,000 sq. ft. Newport Beach property back in September for $3.75 million -- and she finally closed the deal this month for $3.22 million.

Kobe and Vanessa purchased the place back in 2003 for $2.65 million. Vanessa's mother Sofia was living in the home prior to the sale.

The house is one of three massive Newport Beach mansions Kobe gave Vanessa last year ... one month after she filed for divorce.

As for the status of Kobe and Vanessa's divorce -- the papers have not been withdrawn ... and one source tells us they're on and off so much it's hard to get a read.

Still, the two were acting pretty coupley in public as recently as New Year's -- maybe 2013 is the year of the comeback.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West aren't committed in matrimony ... but they ARE committed in 11 million (and one) other ways -- TMZ has learned the duo just bought an $11 MILLION MANSION!

Sources close to K & K tell TMZ ... the future parents will be the proud owners of a 10,000-square-foot pad in an über-private, gated community in Bel Air, CA.

Kim and Kanye made the deal a few weeks ago ... and they've already gutted it and are designing a 14,000-square-foot dream home in its place.

The new home will be an Italian-style villa ... with a gym, movie theater, full hair and makeup salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool ... oh and probably a baby nursery. Just a hunch.

Not included ... a wedding date. We're told there are no plans.

FUN FACT: Kim & Kanye's new neighbors will include Jennifer Aniston, Chris Paul, and Joe Francis.

Laurence Fishburne has just obtained a restraining order against a man who showed up on his doorstep on New Year's Day and demanded that the actor move out of his house.

Anthony Francis allegedly told Fishburne he owned the house and the Fishburnes were there illegally. Laurence may have reason to worry. According to the legal docs, cops told Fishburne Francis was released from prison on XMAS day after serving time for cyber-stalking and making criminal threats.

LAPD cops told Fishburne they got a call 2 weeks back from Francis, claiming he owned the actor's pad.

According to docs, Francis left a letter at Fishburne's home last week, which said in part, "You are to leave this house immediately. This means all tenants are to evacuate ASAP."

Wanna live like Lindsay Lohan -- minus the booze and the arrests? Now you can, because the Beverly Hills pad she's been renting is officially back on the market ... for a cool $10,450 per month!!!

You already know the house ... LiLo's been living there since last February -- struggling to pay the massive rent -- and we're told she will be moving out as soon as the year-long lease is up.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ ... the actress wants to ditch L.A. for good and is in the process of finding a new place to live in New York.

As for what she's leaving behind ... a 2,500-square-foot mini mansion, with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, resort style pool, spa ... and of course $200,000 worth of Bravo's time and effort.

Jerry Bruckheimer is thiiiiiiiiiis close to following in the footsteps of infamous studio tyrant Harry Cohn ... he's poised to drop $23 million on Cohn's former Beverly Hills Estate.

TMZ has learned ... Bruckheimer recently made an offer to buy the 19,590-square-foot mansion -- but it's not quite a done deal yet.

As for the hold up ... the estate is currently being sold off by the trustee of Guess founder Georges Marciano -- who lost the house as part of his Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

We're told the bankruptcy judge already signed off on Bruckheimer's offer, but the deal won't be official until after a hearing -- set for Jan. 17th. During the hearing other prospective buyers can try and outbid Jerry.

As for the 7-bedroom, 9-bath crib ... it's a Hollywood legend. Built by Cohn waaay back in 1927, it sits on 2 acres, has a screening room, card room, billiards room, sunken tennis court, pool ... and of course ... the ghost of Old "King Cohn" wandering it's halls.
