Celebrity Homes

Justin Bieber's Calabasas mansion was the backdrop for a rager last week, where the beer was flowing and marijuana smoke was permeating the singer's home ... and the only thing missing was Justin.

TMZ obtained these pictures, taken at the tail end of the party. The bash was thrown by none other than Lil Twist, the dude who was seen smoking it up with Justin earlier this year.

We're told Twist and another friend -- who were staying in the house while Justin was in Europe -- invited 40 girls to the house on March 19. They also invited a few guys.

You see from the pics -- there's a large hookah pipe with multiple hose attachments on a table, along with nearly 2 dozen beer bottles, as well as the hard stuff.

Take a look at the pictures below. You see a friend in front of a Bob Marley portrait in Bieber's party room. We also got the pic on the right from Twist's Instagram, in which he posed in front of the same picture during the party.

Twist is the same dude who was driving Justin's Ferrari January 1 when he got stopped for speeding and a photog was struck and killed by another vehicle as he shot the traffic stop.

And Twist was also the guy who drove Justin's Fisker into cement poles at a liquor store earlier this month ... and then took off, leaving the whip behind.

One of the people who attended the party tells TMZ ... she left just before 2 AM and it was still going strong, with music blaring and pot filling the air.

The man who allegedly tried to break in to Rihanna's L.A. home back in February has plead not guilty to burglary charges ... TMZ has learned.

As we previously reported, cops believe the man broke into the home next to Rihanna's property believing it was RiRi's crib. He was arrested when neighbors noticed him acting suspicious.

The man has since been ordered to stay at least 1,000 yards away from Rihanna's home.

The judge also told the guy he's not allowed to possess any dangerous or deadly weapons (guns or knives).

Jerry Buss -- who owned the L.A. Lakers before he died -- has given a girlfriend many decades younger than him an awesome parting gift -- his Honolulu, Hawaii condo and his 2009 Bentley!

TMZ just obtained a copy of Jerry's will, and he leaves just about everything to his family trust. The trustee is Jerry's daughter, Jeanie Buss. According to the will, the estate is worth in excess of $5.5 million (although his assets obviously total way more than that).

Now ... as for the young woman. Her name is Delia Cortez. She lives in Hawaii. She's in her late 20s and was studying to become a vet.

Sources who were close to Jerry tell TMZ ... she and Jerry had an "intimate relationship." We also know Jerry had an eye for young ladies and got around.

As for the condo and the car ... Jerry amended his will in March, 2012 to include the gifts to Delia.

It's the female version of a genital challenge ... two wildly rich sisters who are vying for the title of L.A. land baroness ... and in this contest Tamara Ecclestone is giving little sis Petra a run for her money.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Tamara is on the hunt for a mansion more expensive than the one Petra bought from Candy Spelling which came with an $85 million price tag.

We've learned the not-to-be-outdone Tamara went shopping Monday with uber-realtor Mauricio Umansky (Kyle Richards' hubby) and spent an hour at the legendary Walt Disney mansion in Holmby Hills Monday -- up the street from where Michael Jackson died.

Price tag -- $95 MILLION for the mouse house.

We're told Tamara really liked the 35,000 square foot mansion with insane grounds, 8 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms.

The two very competitive sisters have money to burn. Their papa is Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone, who's worth just shy of $4 billion.

We couldn't reach Tamara or Mauricio for comment ... or Walt Disney.

1:34 PM PT -- One of Justin's neighbors tells TMZ ... the argument between Bieber and the accuser was NOT over a party ... it had to do with a Ferrari.

We're told Bieber had the car delivered to his home last night on a flatbed truck ... and this morning, he was racing the vehicle up and down the streets.

Neighborhood sources tell us ... the neighbor was furious about the deafening noise AND felt Justin was endangering the community by tearing through the streets at breakneck speeds.

We're told the neighbor went over to confront Justin about the situation ... and that's when the two sides got into a screaming match.

Justin Bieber has been accused of battery by a neighbor ... and cops are at the singer's home in Calabasas, CA investigating ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ .... Justin and one of his male neighbors got into a verbal altercation just after 9 AM. We're told the argument was intense.

We've confirmed Justin has returned from his overseas concerts and was back home this morning.

L.A. County Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ ... the accuser told deputies Justin made physical contact with him and he has filed a battery report. He also claims Justin threatened him.

Sources connected with Justin's security tell TMZ ... the neighbor came on to Justin's property and began screaming that while Justin was away (overseas) there were people at the house throwing loud parties.

Our sources tell us Justin told the man to get off his property ... but they insist Justin did not have any physical contact with him.

Sources connected with JB's security tell us the singer went inside his house and security escorted the neighbor off the property.

In case you doubted that Cher lives in a different world than you, she just unloaded her little L.A. pied-a-terre for $5.25 million!

Cher had listed the 4,000 square-foot condo -- with jetliner views of L.A. -- for $5.5 mil. She leaves behind fellow tenants Courteney Cox and Elton John.

The singer bought the pad in 2006 for $4.5 mil. So given the crash, she did ok.

It looks like Cher is downsizing in a big way. She's also listed her enormous Malibu compound for $41 million (this is the second time she's tried to unload it).

She also has a house in Venice, CA up for sale for $1.89 mil.

Short story ... she had 3 homes within 25 miles of each other worth a grand total of $48 mil.

One down ... 2 to go.

Ashley Greene's condo fire was tragic but also not totally shocking to other residents in the building, who say the actress was trouble.

Multiple sources in Ashley's West Hollywood condo building tell TMZ ... the actress was an utter nuisance -- they say her unit was a revolving door for her fellow actors, friends and others who came and went in the middle of the night. The people who lived below Ashley say there was so much commotion above them they had trouble sleeping.

On top of that, residents complained that Ashley didn't control her dogs -- which were incessant barkers.

We're told residents complained to building management, but nothing happened.

Here's the kicker ... The owner of the unit will be fixing it up, and she says Ashley is welcome to live there again -- that's because Ashley has always paid her rent. Wow.

TMZ has just obtained the 911 call that was placed by a breathless man who repeatedly pleaded for help after Ashley Greene's apartment exploded in flames, screaming, "The building's on fire."

As we first reported, Ashley and two men were sleeping in her rental unit when the fire broke out. Officials now say the cause of the fire was an unattended candle that torched the couch and subsequently the entire place.

It's case closed for the Ashley Greene condo fire ... TMZ has learned, the devastating flames that ripped through the actress' L.A. apartment Friday have officially been ruled an accident.

Law enforcement sources tell us, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, the L.A. Fire Department and the insurance company -- all of which opened an arson investigation -- are in lockstep ... the fire occurred as the result of carelessness.

TMZ broke the story ... the fire started when an unattended candle accidentally lit Ashley's living room couch ablaze.

Building sources tell us, at least four neighboring units were significantly damaged from the blaze. Insurance agents are expected to stop by today to start the claims process.

James Franco is a terrible neighbor ... so say the people living next to the actor's L.A. home, who claim he leaves trash everywhere, takes up valuable parking spaces, and makes a lot of noise.

TMZ has learned, multiple neighbors have already filed formal complaints with the L.A. Housing Department, listing their endless grievances.

One neighbor tells us, Franco appears to be setting up a production shop at his home and the film crews are creating traffic snarls on their small street, making parking impossible -- and even blocking some driveways. They also grouse kids in the neighborhood are at risk because of all the cars coming and going.

But the traffic is just the tip of the iceberg -- one neighbor says Franco's in-house film operations generate huge amounts of trash that blow onto her property ... and his security has little regard for her privacy, leering at her every chance they get.

Multiple calls to Franco's camp weren't returned.

DeSean Jackson's one of the top NFL players -- worth MILLIONS -- who can live anywhere in the world, and yet he chose to drop $1.65 million on a new crib ... IN THE VALLEY!!!!

Jackson -- who has a 5-year, $51-million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles -- purchased the 3,837-square-foot home in Tarzana, CA earlier this month .

Sources close to Jackson tell TMZ ... despite playing on the East Coast, Jackson's been renting a place in L.A. for years (he's from the area) ... and recently decided to upgrade to home-owner status.

As for the digs, it's worthy of the wide-receiver ... 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchen, guest house and giant backyard pool.

Paris Hilton has joined the long list of celebs who have been the victim of a "swatting" prank ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ a call came in at 5:22 PM PT saying someone was in Paris' home. We're told the call did not mention anything about armed assailants ... like past "swatting" calls have.

According to our sources, cops arrived at the home and did not find anyone had broken in and deemed the call a prank. We're told the LAPD is investigating.

It is unclear if Paris was home at the time, but she tweeted shortly after the incident from a concert in Miami ... so it appears she was not.

Ashley Greene's condo will have to be completely gutted, sources tell TMZ, and four other units in her building will need work done following yesterday's tragic fire.

As TMZ first reported, an unattended candle in the living room of Greene's West Hollywood condo started a horrific blaze that resulted in the death of one of Greene's dogs.

According to our sources, the damages to Greene's unit is so bad, the place will have to be completely gutted -- walls torn down, floor removed, etc.

We're told moisture damage from the blaze will require four other units in the building to be worked on. Our sources say the unit directly above Greene's was the only other unit that needed to be evacuated.

Attention "Dancing with the Stars" fans ... wanna live in the lap of luxury a la host Brooke Burke? Well now you can ... by renting out her Malibu estate for a cool $50,000 A MONTH!!!

It's interesting ... Brooke and her husband David Charvet originally tried to sell the mansion back in 2011 for $12.5 million, but no cigar. Now the couple's trying their luck at renting ... listing the primo digs as a Summer lease.

The price tag may be hefty, but the house is ridiculous ... 6,800 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, beach access, screening room, 4,000 bottle wine cellar, giant fruit orchard ... and a freshwater pool complete with cabana.

We now know what caused the fire at Ashley Greene's condo that killed her beloved dog -- an unattended candle ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... they have already done a preliminary investigation and determined the candle lit the living room couch on fire -- a fire which spread throughout the unit.

As we previously reported, Greene, her boyfriend and brother were all sleeping in the condo when the blaze erupted.
