Celebrity Homes

Farrah Abraham needed to get far, far away from her judgy-wudgy mother ... so the "Teen Mom" put not one, but TWO STATES between them.

TMZ broke the story ... Farrah was living at her mom's place in Nebraska, but when mommy-dearest learned Farrah was behind (and in front of) the whole sex-tape scandal ... she kicked her out. Farrah says she chose to leave.

Regardless ... Farrah hightailed it 800 miles south to the Lone Star State. She's now leasing a two-bedroom apartment in Bee Cave (Google it) for $1,150 per month. We're told she's thrilled to be away from her mother.

As for the digs ... it comes with a terrace, foothill views, top-level infinity pool and a fitness center. Plus, we're told Farrah's dad lives just down the street.

It seems the swatters have a flair for irony -- and a vindictive streak ... their latest victim is the California state senator gunning to shut them down ... TMZ has learned.

Senator Ted Lieu was swatted earlier today ... police responded to a 911 call claiming he had shot his wife inside their Torrance, Calif., home ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Lieu tells TMZ ... he was out of town, his wife was home sick and the kids were at school. He vows he's more determined than ever to squash the swatters.

Although Ted's not an A-list celeb like fellow swatting victims Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, Selena Gomez or Justin Timberlake -- he is spearheading legislation that would punish swatters by making them cover the cost of the incident -- around $10,000 a pop.

Grammy Award-winning R&B legend Lauryn Hill is being sued for eviction ... the good news, she's probably going to prison so she won't need that place anyway.

Lauryn's been renting a South Orange, New Jersey mansion since 2009. Things went south when she stopped paying rent last month, so her landlord ran to court and filed a legal ultimatum -- pay your rent NOW, or get out.

Lauryn hasn't paid, so the eviction lawsuit is now full steam ahead.

Lauryn will be sentenced next week for tax fraud. She pled guilty and now faces several years in federal prison.

Lauren Conrad might be old as the "Hills" ... but she's still rich as ever ... plunking down $3.74 million on her new L.A. mansion.

Sources close to the deal tell TMZ, the 27-year-old former MTV star purchased the 4,300 sq. ft. 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom Brentwood home this week.

It's two stories ... with a brand, spanking new kitchen, huge backyard and a basketball court. It was remodeled recently by celeb interior designer Jeff Lewis from Bravo's "Flipping Out."

For everyone who thought Taylor Swift was a little psycho for allegedly buying a house in Hyannis Port, MA to be next door to her BF ... well it may be she's just a smart real estate investor, because she's done it again in a WAY more exclusive neighborhood.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Taylor has been looking at one of the most famous properties in Rhode Island -- the Harkness House -- an 11k-plus-square-foot mansion that sits on 5.23 acres of prime real estate.

To give you an idea of how rich she is ... the asking price is North of $20 mil.

Taylor brought her family and real estate agent to the property on Monday and nosed around for a while. We're told she spent a lot of time there and really dug it.

Farrah Abraham's sex tape has created a fiery rift between her and her mother -- whom she lives with -- and now, Farrah's packing up and moving out.

You'll recall, Farrah's mom pretended to be blissfully ignorant of her 21-year-old daughter's porno -- telling us Farrah would never star in such a video ... let alone commission it ... protesting, "We have religious beliefs."

Fact is Farrah did it ... and when it came out that she was the one who masterminded the sex tape (info courtesy of James Deen) mama flipped out.

Sources close to Farrah tell us, the two have been arguing tooth and nail ever since ... so today, Farrah packed up a U-Haul and hit the road.

Sources say Farrah's mother gave her the boot ... but Farrah tells us, "After meeting with my counselor today, I've packed up everything and I'm not talking to my mom anymore."

She adds, "My mother will never be a good mother to me and it is too hurtful to deal with let alone have my daughter Sophia around it."

The Sharon Osbourne 911 tape -- where she desperately calls a dispatcher asking for help after a candle at her home lit a table on fire -- may be a clue to the marital strife that led to their split.

We've re-listened to the tape -- recorded January 17 at 4:45 AM -- and you hear Ozzy at the beginning, sounding somewhat incoherent. It's possible Ozzy was no different than normal, but we now know he's only been sober for around 45 days after 1 1/2 years of abusing drugs and alcohol, so that would mean he was using at the time of the 911 call.

On the other hand ... Sharon told TMZ shortly after the incident that SHE was responsible.

Would-be swatting pranksters better think twice about making bogus 911 calls ... a new bill is winding its way through the Legislature that aims to put them behind bars for a long time.

This has become a huge problem in L.A. and there are no specific laws prohibiting the prank calls, although various laws can currently be used to prosecute anyone who's caught.

The new anti-swatting legislation is the brainchild of Assemblyman Mike Gatto (left) ... and it just passed its first hurdle toward becoming law ... the Assembly Public Safety Committee ... by a vote of 6-0.

If the bill becomes law ... swatters would be subject to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine ... and they could get even more time if the swatting prank results in someone getting hurt. In that case it becomes a felony.

Recent celebrity swatting victims include Justin Bieber, Diddy, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, Tom Cruise and Rihanna.

Gatto tells TMZ, “This bill is not just about protecting folks like Justin Bieber. It’s about protecting kids playing in the street when emergency vehicles needlessly speed by."

But let's be honest ... it's really about protecting Justin Bieber.

Lil Wayne is laughing at reports that he's about to lose his mansion and fancy cars to satisfy a $3.4 million judgment against him -- because he says that kind of jack is pocket change to him.

Wayne had sued Quincy Jones III over a documentary about the rapper's life. QJIII countersued ... claiming Wayne screwed him out of profits by acting so unreasonably.

The California jury saw it Quincy's way and slapped Wayne with the multi-million dollar judgment.

Now we find out ... Quincy's lawyer has moved the judgment to Florida ... where Wayne has lots of assets, including an $11 million mansion and a Bugatti that's worth more than a mil. There's a report out that the lawyer is taking aim at these goodies to satisfy the judgment.

But our Wayne sources say no one is going to sell any of Wayne's assets to satisfy any judgment, because he's worth as much as $100 million and can easily pay off the judgment.

It's interesting ... Wayne has thumbed his nose at everyone connected to the case -- remember his epic deposition (below)? So it's a little surprising Wayne is saying he'll pay the piper.

A "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star could be downgraded from "housewife" to just plain old "wife" ... because a bank is trying to FORECLOSE on her mansion.

Jacqueline Laurita is being sued by Hudson City Savings Bank. The bank claims Jacqueline took out a $1.6 million mortgage back in 2007 on a 5,600-square-foot pad, but in Feb. 2012 failed to cough up the $10,175 monthly mortgage payment.

Big mistake ... according to the deal ... if Jacqueline misses ONE payment the bank can demand the entire balance -- which it did.

The bank is now asking a judge for permission to foreclose on the home.

It's not Jacqueline's only financial woe -- the State of NJ says she still owes over $340,000 in unpaid taxes.

Christina Aguilera had better check twice when she borrows a cup of sugar from her new neighbor ... because she's moving into Charlie Sheen's hood.

We've learned Xtina just dropped a cool $10 mil for an 11,000-square-foot mega-mansion in Mulholland Estates, which is a stone's throw from Bev Hills.

She's actually significantly downsizing, having just sold her $13.5 million mansion previously owned by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.

The new house is awesome ... with 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, library, bar, screening room, salt water pool, spa, gazebo, bathhouse ... the works.

Sly Stallone has settled a nuclear battle he was having on the homefront ... TMZ has learned.

Sly put an end to his $1.4 million lawsuit against contractor Mohamed Hadid, who allegedly had charged top-of-the-line prices for a job that would have been unbecoming in a double wide.

We don't know how much money changed hands, but sources connected with the case tell TMZ, "Sly was smiling."

The actor claimed Hadid -- who has appeared on "Shahs of Sunset" -- charged him a fortune for a high end kitchen island but installed cheap wood veneer/plywood. And the complaints went on and on.

In Sly's lawsuit, filed by Marty Singer, he blamed Lisa Vanderpump, who gave Hadid a four-star referral.

BUSTED!!! Justin Bieber's freeloading friend is NOT hooking up with Selena Gomez, even though he went to Herculean lengths to make it seem that way ... and we have video proof.

King Kevi -- who became famous-adjacent recently by living in Justin's house and throwing ragers with lots of girls, bongs and beer -- caused a stir when these pics (below) surfaced, showing the fake royalty appearing to leave Selena's San Fernando Valley estate Saturday night.

Various media reported Kevi -- the up-and-coming nobody -- was inside her house and "hung out." But we got our hands on surveillance footage taken the night in question ... showing Kevi posing in front of Selena's house while camera flashes went off ... but never making it past the gate.

Selena wasn't even home at the time the photos were taken.

In other words ... it was all a setup by the guy who is mooching off the Biebs.

He's no Kato Kaelin.

2:45 PM PT -- King Kevi tells TMZ the whole thing is a simple misunderstanding -- saying, "I was there to drop off something to a friend at the party. I walked multiple times to the front gate to try to call my friend and every time I had to chase off the photog."

He adds, "After the last attempt, I went to my car to leave and that's when my friend called me to come inside. When I backed in, I gave him another call to open the gate and he didn't pick up so I left because I saw the photog come back around."

Ryan Seacrest is being swatted right now ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... a 911 call came in by someone claiming shots were fired inside the house by "mobster looking guys in suits with rifles."

Our sources say it has all the markings of swatting.

A slew of cops are at the house, which Ryan recently purchased from Ellen DeGeneres for around $39 million.

It's ironic ... Seacrest was just talking to Russell Brand this morning on the radio about Russell's recent swatting experience. Crazy timing.

TMZ broke the story ... just days ago Russell, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez and Diddy were all swatted.

Do you imagine yourself immersed in a world of half-naked chicks ... all-night ragers ... and bunny costumes? Well if you've got $11 million to blow ... listen up ... the Playboy Bunny house is up for grabs.

The 6,690-square-foot crib (located across the street from the famous Playboy mansion) hit the market this week ... leading scores of men everywhere to seriously consider moving.

The Holmby Hills digs is known for temporarily housing some of Playboy's hottest models ... including Jayde Nicole and former "Amazing Race" contestant Jaime Edmondson.

As for the house ... 5 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, 1.3 acres of land, oasis waterfall, pool and spa.

Good luck.

HOORAY! Ashley Greene's life hasn't completely fallen apart after her apartment was incinerated.

The actress was spotted eating lunch in West Hollywood Monday ... not far from where her condo went up in flames last month ... and she didn't look like a complete emotional wreck.
