Burger King Makes Offer On Elvis Presley House ... It Could Be Our Greaseland!
The home of The King .. could become the home of the Whopper ... 'cause TMZ has learned the honchos at BK have made a serious offer on Elvis Presley's former Bev Hills home.
TMZ obtained a letter from Burger King Corp. to Peter Morton -- who owns the 5,367 square foot Elvis Presley Estate in the 90210 -- which states the company's intention to buy the house for a cool $3.69 mil.
The letter reads, "This would be a fast closing within three days and we would be happy to provide you with proof of funds upon request."
BK says if Morton agrees to the sale, the company will "preserve all residential historical value."
Buuuut, there are a few problems -- first, the house isn't really on the market.
Second, Morton bought the house back in December for $9.8 mil ... and there's virtually no chance he's willing to take a $6 million hit on the place.
Sidenote -- the timing of the offer is interesting, 'cause it happens to coincide with the launch of BK's new sandwich, the Big King (Big King ... King of Rock 'n Roll ... we get it).
BK wants to move fast -- really fast. In fact, BK's put a ticking clock on the offer ... it ends at midnight TONIGHT.
Sorry King, don't hold your breath.

Babyface L.A. Mansion Catches Fire
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds' bathroom got real hot and steamy this weekend ... cause it was on fire.
Sources tell TMZ ... fire trucks raced to the Grammy winner's L.A. mansion yesterday afternoon after a fire started in his tinkle room.
We're told the singer's inside sprinkler system put out the flames before units arrived -- nothing major burned down ... but there was some water damage.
A rep for the singer didn't know if Babyface was inside when the fire started ... but we're told the house was occupied.
No word on what started the fire.
Fun Fact: Babyface has written and produced over 26 No. 1 R&B hits throughout his career.
We're guessing this won't set him back much.

Justin Bieber I Put a Roof Over My Family's Head ... In Canada
Justin Bieber's dad is living in a pretty badass Canadian home ... along with his two kids ... but TMZ has learned, JB is the one who sprung for the place.
Sources connected to the Bieber family tell us ... Justin wants to make sure his half-brother and half-sister are living in a really nice home, so he shelled out a cool $850k in cash for a 5-bedroom cabin-style pad in Ontario, where they live with their dad.
We're told ... this isn't a case of the family sponging off of Justin -- it's Justin who made the offer to the family.
The house is located way out in the Canadian wilderness in a small town of roughly 8,000 people.
But it's not like the family is trying to get off the grid -- the family name is plastered right on the mailbox.
Rihanna Gets Long Term Protection From 'Future Husband'
The man accused of stalking Rihanna -- and claiming to be her "future husband" -- must continue to stay away from her for the next 2 years ... TMZ has learned.
As we first told you ... Jonathan Whooper was arrested earlier this month for multiple trespasses at the home RiRi was renting in Pacific Palisades. A security guard at the home says Whooper claimed he was going to marry the singer.

Elin Nordegren The Mansion ADULTERY Built ... Is Almost Complete!
Elin Nordegren is thiiiis close to moving out of her substandard regular-sized mansion and into her North Palm Beach MEGA-MANSION ... 'cause the home Tiger's infidelity funded is almost finished.
New photos of the place show the property is in the final stages. It was reportedly scheduled to be completed in December, but by the looks of things it might be ahead of schedule.
Elin has been living in a $4.25 million pad across the street ever since she purchased the new property for $12 million back in 2012.
As TMZ previously reported, Elin knocked down the original home on the property so she could build her dream house ... a 21,000 square foot mega-home, complete with 9 bedrooms, a 600 sq. ft. theater, 1,182 sq. ft. kitchen and a 460 sq. ft. "ocean loft."
There’s also plenty of room for her two kids… the mansion comes with a 300-square-foot playroom and a 70 ft. by 40 ft. swimming pool with a 12-foot deep end.
And how does she have the money to fund such a gargantuan project? Simple ... she got $100 million in her divorce from Tiger Woods after learning he was bangin' every skank, skalliwag and skeezer he could get his paws on.

Madonna Sells $20 Million Bev Hills Mansion Don't Worry, I Have Others
Madonna has rid herself of her massive Beverly Hills estate ... the one she bought during her marriage to Guy Ritchie ... and she pocketed a cool $8 MILLION in the process, TMZ has learned.
Madge had only listed the property back in January for $22.5 mil ... and just 10 months later, real estate guru Kurt Rappaport closed the deal for $20 mil. Not bad considering she bought the place in 2003 for $12 mil.
Real estate sources tell us ... the lucky guy who scooped up the pad is a Wall St. big shot.
The mystery buyer is clearly a fan of privacy ... 'cause the 17,000 square foot property is incredibly secluded -- with a 500 foot tree-lined driveway ... and massive trees covering the perimeter of the estate.
The home is insane -- with 15 bathrooms, 9 bedrooms, a 2-story dining room, pool, movie theater tennis court and a gym -- 'cause as we all know, Madge LOOOVES to pump iron.
So, where's Madonna gonna live now? We're told Madge is on the hunt for a smaller place in L.A. But don't worry about her ... she's still got massive properties in London and New York.

Venus Williams Hey Mom, Here's a House
Venus is cutting ties with Jupiter -- TMZ has learned tennis star Venus Williams is giving away her fancy Jupiter, Florida home FOR FREE ... to her mother.
According to official records, Venus deeded her mother, Oracene the 2,804 sq. ft. house in September. The only money exchanged -- $10. Clearly, the house is a gift, and the nominal fee just keeps it legal.
Venus originally purchased the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home for $310,000 back in 2000 ... which has to be the greatest year of her career: she won the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, and an Olympic gold medal.
Total prize money for Wimbledon and the Open that year was more than $1.5 million ... so the house purchase would have been a breeze for Venus.
Your move, Serena.

Kevin Jonas & Wife Breaking Up With New Jersey Mansion
Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle are calling it quits ... on their giant New Jersey home -- listing the property for $2.2 million -- and sources tell TMZ, it's all because they want more privacy.
KJ and Dani purchased the home in 2011 for $1.19 million -- so if they get anywhere near their asking price (with the help of Terrie O’Connor Realtors Amy Werner and Celia Riggio) they'll have earned a nice little profit. Not bad for just two years.
We're told the couple plans to start showing the home to potential buyers next week at a private event -- and they've already purchased property nearby to start building an entirely new place to live.
According to sources, it's not about the size of the property -- the couple just feels their current home is too exposed ... it's already famous from their show "Married to Jonas," it's visible from the street ... and they're not comfortable with that. Especially because Danielle is pregnant now.
Maybe Kevin and Dani should start a band ... at least they can stay together.

Jenna Jameson Foreclosure Mansion Auctioned Off Enjoy My Sloppy Seconds
Jenna Jameson has lost her home to foreclosure, TMZ has learned.
The Hollywood Hills mansion -- which Jenna purchased in 2006 for $2.7 million -- hit the auction block earlier this month ... and was sold off for $1.85 million.
According to official docs, Jenna's bank notified her in February that she had defaulted on her mortgage payments to the tune of $56,918.
Jenna subsequently listed the home for $1.899 million but failed to find a buyer. Her bank then obtained a final judgment against her in June for the full amount of her mortgage ... $2,027,816.
Jenna never paid, so the home was foreclosed on and sold at auction.
Sources tell us, Jenna had rented out the home for years -- while she lived in Orange County with her ex Tito Ortiz -- but the home recently sustained significant water damage, and Jenna decided it wasn't worth the expense to fix ... so she let it go into foreclosure.
It's unclear where Jenna is currently living -- she's on the outs with Tito and is definitely not living with him. Attempts to reach Jenna for comment were unsuccessful.

Rihanna Crazy Stalker Claimed to Be My FUTURE HUSBAND
The delusional man who allegedly smashed his way into Rihanna's L.A. home and also claimed to be her "future husband" has just been hit with a restraining order, TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... Jonathan Whooper was taken into custody on Oct. 4 after cops ID'd him as the man who threw a chair through a glass door at RiRi's Pacific Palisades home on Sept. 29.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ ... Whooper made multiple trips to the home. During the incident on the 29th, cops say he broke into the home, triggering the alarm.
When he couldn't disarm the system, he decided to leave ... but not before breaking a glass patio table.
According to the docs, Whooper returned to the home on October 4th ... but this time, he was confronted by security. When asked why he was there, Whooper explained, he was "there to see Rihanna."
When the guard ordered him to leave, Whooper allegedly said, "Do you know who I am? I am Rihanna's future husband!"
Police arrested Whooper later that day a few miles from Rihanna's home. He was charged with prowling and felony attempted burglary, vandalism and stalking.
Rihanna begged the court for protection -- claiming she's suffered "substantial emotional distress and concern for her personal safety."
However, RiRi says she's unable to testify as a witness in the case because she's "currently on tour." Hey, girl's gotta work.
The judge decided Rihanna has a legitimate concern -- and issued a temporary restraining order against Whooper, ordering him to stay at least 100 yards away.
The case is due back in court later this month -- where Rihanna will most likely seek to make the order more permanent.

Zac Efron Oops! I Just Bought A Raging Party Palace
For a guy coming off of rehab, Zac Efron couldn't have picked a worse home to buy ... because his new crib is well-known as one of the biggest Hollywood party pads in L.A. ... and we have the pics to prove it.
A source tells TMZ ... just last year, Sean Kingston was living large bachelor style in the house ... and says it was a pool party house where "some of the most ungodly events" went down.
We're told ... Sean rented the place for 45k a month ... and threw some wild ass parties for his friends, including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Soulja Boy.
According to our source ... Sean's ragers were so off the hook ... guests had to sign a non-disclosure agreement -- and then be photographed holding the piece of paper -- before they could ever get past the door. So you know there was some crazy s**t.
Zac just dropped $3.9 mil on this place. Just hope it's not haunted ... by ghosts of parties past.
