Justin Bieber I'm Lookin' to Move To Ranch Country
Justin Bieber has been looking at estates in an area not far from where he lives now ... but it's clear he wants to trade neighbors for horses.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Justin has been looking at homes in an area called Hidden Valley -- 20 miles from where he currently lives in Calabasas.
We're told Justin has his eye on a particular area of Hidden Valley -- White Stallion Estates. There are only 10 homes and each has around 20 acres. There are lots of horse ranches in the area, but Justin's not specifically looking for horse property.
Justin is also interested in Portrero RD in Hidden Valley ... most of the homes are 20 acres and up.
Justin wants between 10 and 20 acres, so both areas fit the bill.
Our sources say Justin wants out of Calabasas immediately -- as soon as he finds a place, but now we're told he's been quietly looking to move for 3 months.
We know Justin's people have spoken to his realtor and made it clear -- get him out of a gated community where there are rules and regulations and nosy neighbors.
We're told Justin was particularly interested in one home on Potrero, but he waited and the house just sold for $9.5 million.
As we first reported, Justin wants space not only to rid himself of neighbors ... he wants room to roam on ATVs. He also wants a skate park.

Justin Bieber Double Cup Cover Up in Calabasas
Justin Bieber's party pals are trying to hide evidence of their sizzurp abuse ... and TMZ has the photo evidence right in Bieber's backyard.
As we first reported ... the skate ramp at Justin's place was tagged with a styrofoam cup and the words "double cup" -- a clear reference to Bieber's use of sizzurp, aka lean ... a mixture of codeine cough syrup and Sprite.
But now the double cup painting is GONE ... almost.
The pic of the skate ramp (above) was taken yesterday -- and "double cup" is nearly covered completely by a skateboard someone placed on the ramp.
Compare it to the pic taken last month (below) ... where the words are bold and obvious.

Keyshawn Johnson I Went All HULK On Bieber He's A WEASEL!!!
Keyshawn Johnson says Justin Bieber acted like a weasel after allegedly roaring through his Calabasas neighborhood and then scampering into the house ... but Keyshawn took matters into his own hands ... prying Justin's garage door open and then slamming a bodyguard against a wall.

But Keyshawn's version of the story is WAY more insane -- you have to hear it for yourself.

Justin Bieber I'm Moving to Wide Open Spaces
Justin Bieber has had it with suburban living ... and has told his realtor to find him a sprawling estate with neighbors nowhere in sight ... TMZ has learned.
As we reported ... Justin has decided to sell his Calabasas home. We're told the last straw was the police raid last week. Justin told his people he felt "trapped and violated."
Sources familiar with the impending move tell us ... Justin is on the hunt for a home sitting on a massive piece of land. He says he wants to build a skate park and have enough room to have ATVs.
We're told Justin would like to stay in L.A. but is open to moving outside the city ... possibly the Santa Barbara area where there are lots of spacious estates.
Justin is determined NOT to have neighbors constantly scrutinizing him. As you know, he's been at war with several of his neighbors, one of whom has accused him of spitting on him and threatening to kill him. The same neighbor's home was egged and Justin is a suspect in the felony vandalism case.
Neverland would be perfect ... don't you think?

NFL Star Clay Matthews I'm Moving Into Justin Bieber's Hood
Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews is thiiiiis close to having Justin Bieber as a neighbor ... 'cause he bought land in Bieb's Calabasas community -- but the singer could be OUT by the time Clay's home gets built.
TMZ Sports has learned ... Matthews recently dropped $2.6 million on a plot of undeveloped land in The Oaks ... a gated community littered with huge stars like Bieber, Travis Barker, Keyshawn Johnson, Nikki Sixx and (coming soon) Kourtney Kardashian.
Matthews -- who signed a $66 million contract extension last year -- is planning to build his dream home on the property ... but we're told construction has not started yet.
And with Justin Bieber telling people he's planning to leave The Oaks, it's very possible Calabasas could be Bieber-free by the time Clay is ready to move in.
And get this ... Clay scored a huge deal on the property -- it was originally on the market for $4.4 mil. We're not sure if the drastic price cut is due to the fact it's located near Bieber's home, but it's very possible Bieb was a factor.
Fun Fact -- Clay is very familiar with the Calabasas area .... he went to high school just a few miles away and played his college ball at USC.

Either way, things are looking up for Calabasas ... Bieber is now strongly considering leaving the community as well.

Justin Bieber Moving OUT Of Calabasas

We're told the egging incident and the Sheriff's raid on Bieber's home were the final straw. He's now openly talking about listing the house and getting out of the neighborhood.
The timing is interesting ... Keyshawn Johnson just sold his nearby estate to Kourtney Kardashian ... although we're told he says it has nothing to do with Bieber. As you know ... Keyshawn has had multiple run-ins with Bieber and his bodyguards at The Oaks.
Also interesting ... Justin is in a bitter feud with his neighbor whose home got egged. It's the same neighbor Justin allegedly spit on and threatened to kill.
We don't know where Justin is thinking of moving, but it seems pretty clear ... no more suburban living.
Toni Braxton Buys $3 Million Mansion 6 Months After Bankruptcy
Reality TV can pull you out of bankruptcy and get you a $3 million house next to Justin Bieber ... all in 6 MONTHS ... and Toni Braxton's living proof.
Real estate sources tell TMZ, Toni -- whose reality show "Braxton Family Values" is already on its third season -- just purchased a mansion for close to $3 million in Calabasas' exclusive gated community The Oaks ... just a few houses down from Justin.
The house is 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and measures 5,323 sq. ft.
Technically, it's the smallest house in the neighborhood ... but still, not too bad for someone who was dead ass broke less than a year ago.
Toni's real estate purchase has to sting for her old creditors -- as we reported, when Braxton filed for bankruptcy in 2010 (for the second time) she claimed debts as high as $50,000,000 ... and only ended up repaying a tiny fraction of that before the debts were cleared entirely.
Only in America ...

But sources close to Za tell us he was only visiting his mom, who flew in from Texas following his drug bust -- and chose to crash at a hotel instead of Beiber's pad.
Za's girlfriend -- Atifa Barwany -- also came out from Texas. She's the chick who's been tooling around Bieber's house on Segways with Za.
A man's home is someone else's castle.

Justin Bieber Sheriff Comes Up Goose Eggs in Raid
Justin Bieber is a lucky duck ... the L.A. County Sheriff's Department found no evidence he egged his neighbors house when deputies searched Justin's mansion ... sources connected to Bieber tell TMZ.
TMZ broke the story ... Sheriff's deputies were looking for surveillance video that might have incriminated Bieber. They were also looking to see if Justin bragged about the egging in text messages immediately after the incident.
Sources familiar with the surveillance video tell us you do NOT see Bieber egging the house. Furthermore we're told there is no video before or after the incident that shows Bieber at the immediate scene.
We're also told ... Bieber did not "brag text" about the egging incident.
It would appear then ... the case against Bieber will stand or fall based on TMZ's video and the account of two eyewitnesses who ID'd Justin.
As for the video, you cannot see Bieber ... but you definitely hear a voice that sounds exactly like him. As for the two eye witnesses ... they are the neighbor who got egged and his 13-year-old daughter.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Sheriffs department will send the case over to the L.A. County District Attorney for review this week.
The D.A. could charge Bieber with felony vandalism or settle for misdemeanor vandalism. Or the D.A. could let Bieber skate all together.
