Heidi Fleiss Pot Bust Cops Confiscated a WEED JUNGLE
Cops weren't lying when they said they discovered nearly 400 pot plants at the Nevada home of former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss ... just check out the INSANE haul they confiscated last week.
TMZ broke the story, Fleiss was charged with pot possession after police claim they found 392 marijuana plants outside her house in Pahrump on August 7.
Fleiss admitted the plants were hers, but told police she was growing them for a cooperative in Vegas.
The problem ... Fleiss didn't have a license to grow at the time, so she has been charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a home where drugs are sold/used.
The plants have since been collected as evidence. Fleiss has not been arrested ... yet.

Jen Aniston Sued Chicks with Decks Actress Allegedly Stiffs Contractor
What Jen Aniston doesn't like, Jen Aniston DESTROYS ... so says a contractor who claims Jen never paid him for building a deck at her Bel Air home ... a deck she demolished just days after it went up.
The "We're the Millers" star is being sued by J.R. Darnall Associates, Inc. -- which says it was hired to do some major renovation work to Jen's mansion back in October 2012 ... and worked on several projects until March 2013.
The contractor says there was never any problem with work or payment ... until Jen tapped the company to build a fancy $43,710 deck for a party on March 24, 2013.
The project was completed ... the party went off ... but the next day, the contractor says they received a call about a leak in the deck.
According to the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the company says it offered to send an expert to the home to evaluate the situation -- but Jen had the deck ripped down before the expert could complete his inspection.
Now, the company says Jen has completely cut off all communication -- and still hasn't forked over the $43k for building the deck in the first place.
We called Jen's people for comment ... so far, no word back.

Kanye West Just Got OWNED By the Housing Market
Kanye West is NOT God, even though he thinks he is -- and we know that because he can't even control the housing market.
Kanye has just knocked a cool half-a-mil off the asking price for his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad. He listed it for $3.3 mil back in March. Apparently he thought a house with Kanye attached could fetch more than the comparable prices in the neighborhood -- the house should have been listed at around $2.5 mil.
Yeezus dropped the price to $3.15 in early June, but still no takers. So he's just dropped the price again -- to $2.8 mil.

Keyshawn Johnson I'm NOT Moving Because of Bieber
Keyshawn Johnson is saying sayonara to his Calabasas mansion -- but the ex-NFL star is adamant the move has NOTHING to do with his beef with his pain in the ass neighbor Justin Bieber.
TMZ spoke with a rep for the ESPN star who tells us, "Keyshawn is not moving to get away from Bieber. He's moving to be closer to the high school where he'll be coaching and where his son will be playing football."
Keyshawn recently took a job as a wide receivers coach at Mission Viejo High School in Orange County, CA ... where his son will go to school in the fall.
FYI -- MSVH is a high school football powerhouse and Key's rep tells us Johnson took the job with the varsity team to "have fun" while his kid pays his dues on the JV squad.
Of course, Key probably won't miss Bieber when he parts ways with his Calabasas palace -- 'cause as everyone knows, Justin has been the neighbor from hell ... partying on the time and speeding up and down the quiet streets in their private gated community.
Key's 11,746 square foot home is currently on the market for $8.5 mil. We're told Johnson plans to move to another mansion near the high school ... but he's very interested in coming back to the Calabasas area in a few years ... 'cause he likes it out there.
Hopefully, Justin will have moved by then.

Ex-MLB Star Dwight Gooden EVICTED From Jersey Mansion
More problems for Doc Gooden -- the troubled ex-MLB star has just been evicted from the NJ mansion he was renting after allegedly stiffing his landlord for months ... TMZ has learned.
What makes the situation even sadder ... Dwight's estranged wife was living in the home with their 2 young kids -- who were all forced to leave in July, when officials enforced the eviction.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Dwight and his family moved in to the home back in September 2011 ... and agreed to pay $4,500 per month in rent.
But things went south in March -- when Dwight's wife got a restraining order against the former NY Mets pitcher following a domestic dispute, forcing Doc to move out.
The homeowners claim Doc's family stayed in the home all of March, April, May and June -- but they never got a check from the Goodens for any of those months ... and that adds up to some serious debt.
The homeowners filed legal docs against Gooden -- demanding the back rent plus penalties, totaling more than $18,984 ... AND they also want legal fees.
The court also granted the landlord's permission to evict the Goodens -- and on July 11, Docs family was forced out of the home. It's unclear where they're living now.
We reached out to Dwight's people -- so far, no word back.

Heidi Klum and her rebound guy are getting super serious ... like, buying a house together serious ... and one of the places they're checking out is Katy Perry's L.A. mansion, TMZ has learned.
Heidi and her boyfriend Martin Kristen have been house hunting all over L.A. recently -- and sources tell us they're looking for a "family home" that has enough space for the couple and Heidi's 4 kids.
We're told Klum knows exactly what she wants -- she wants to be east of the 405 Freeway and needs 4 bedrooms for the kids that are ALL located on the same floor as the master.
Enter Katy Perry -- who still owns that incredible mansion in the Hollywood Hills that she purchased in 2012 with then-husband Russell Brand ... which has everything Klum is looking for.
Klum and Kristen biked over to the place last week to check out the 7 bedroom, 11 bathroom estate ... and we're told they were impressed.
It could be a perfect situation for Katy -- who recently reduced the asking price of her sprawling dream palace to $6.495 million hoping to motivate buyers.
Whoever snatches up the place is gonna get a helluva property -- it's like a real-life castle, complete with a lagoon-style pool and views to die for.
There's even room if Seal wants to crash ... though we're guessing that probably won't happen.

Tiger Woods I Got A Hole in ONE ... DINING ROOM!
You'd think when you spend $60 million to build a massive Florida house it would stay above sea level ... but not so with Tiger Woods, who has a GIGANTIC hole in his dining room!
Sources connected with the repair of the Jupiter Island mansion tell TMZ, the hole is "massive" and the underlying problem is serious.
Tiger apparently noticed sagging in the dining room. Contractors have now opened up the floor, creating a big fat hole, trying to determine what's causing the problem. They think the pilings may have been improperly set. They also fear some may be missing.
So far the problem seems limited to the dining room, but they don't know for sure.
Tiger's had more than his share of ups and downs with holes over the last few years ... for sure.

A short time later, cops found Knievel's RV in a nearby parking lot with the motor running ... with Robbie texting in the driver's seat.
Cops say they detected a strong odor of alcohol -- and when asked, Robbie said he had 3 drinks earlier that evening.
According to cops, Robbie took a breath test and blew a .228 ... almost 3 times the legal limit in South Dakota.
He also bombed several other field sobriety tests -- including two counting tests.
Cops say Knievel was physically unable to do the 1-leg stand and the walk-and-turn test due to previous physical injuries ... after all, he is a daredevil.

Lindsay Lohan is fiercely determined to live alcohol free -- and toward that end she's ridding herself of ALL traces of booze ... everywhere she goes.
Lindsay vows to stay clear of the hard stuff and not just in her home. We're told she will make demands that hotel rooms, dressing rooms ... even mama Dina's home is alcohol free when she's present. Good luck on that third one.
Fact is ... so far so good. Lindsay checked in to the Bev Hills Hotel this week and ordered the staff to remove alcohol from her room prior to her arrival.
Lindsay says she'll travel with a sober coach for at least the next week, to make sure she doesn't succumb to temptation. Ditto when she guest hosted "Chelsea Lately" ... she insisted her dressing room be stocked ONLY with non-alcoholic drinks.

Paris Hilton Wannabe Bling Ring Tried to Burgle Me!
Paris Hilton suffered a case of deja vu all over again when a pack of chicks snuck into her casa and tried to steal her stuff -- but rather than make off with millions like the "bling ring" ... these crooks failed miserably.
Sources tell TMZ ... the attempted snatch job went down when Paris threw herself a going away party at her Malibu beach house last weekend -- the send-off before she jetted to Ibiza.
We're told a group of random girls crashed the party, snuck into P's bedroom, and tried to jack bikinis, Paris Hilton handbags and framed pics. Not exactly primo swag.
Problem is ... we're told the banditos got spooked when someone spotted them, and while making their getaway ... they dropped all the loot.
A valet found the goods down the road from Paris' house and turned it all over to cops.
Paris' driver picked up the stuff. No police report was filed.
Not exactly Sofia Coppola material.

Michael Strahan Living In $20 MILLION Lap of Luxury
Being Kelly Ripa's #2 sure does pay ... just ask Michael Strahan, who's throwing down serious cash to rent a $20 MILLION mega mansion in Beverly Hills ... adjacent.
Michael and hot fiancée Nicole Murphy sold their Bel Air home earlier this week for $11 million. Get this ... they bought it for $7.9 mil a year ago. Yeah, we hate 'em too.
Here's the problem -- they're currently homeless ... so for the time being they're renting a 10,575-square-foot casa in Beverly Park.
FYI -- Beverly Park's a celeb magnet -- residents have included Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, Tim McGraw, Wayne Gretzky, Samuel Jackson ... the list goes on.
We don't have the exact rental price, but estates like this rent in the $100,000 / month range. In the meantime Michael and his realtor Bob Hurwitz are on the hunt for a permanent place.
Until then ... Michael and Nicole have to settle for the Italian style villa, with 8 bedrooms, 10 baths, guest house, perfectly manicured grounds, fountains up the wazoo, and resort style pool.
Sure beats a 2 bedroom in Van Nuys.
