Celebrity Homes

Paris Hilton might want to stay clear of L.A. for a while ... the man covered in Paris tattoos who was arrested in front of her house has been cut loose.

31-year-old Lukas Redanz was released Tuesday -- after authorities decided he didn't really commit a crime. But what he DID do is sure scary.

TMZ broke the story ... Redanz was busted Friday outside Paris' gated community -- his 2nd visit -- after Redanz told security he was in love with Paris and had to see her. Cops found coke on him.

The German citizen was covered in Paris tattoos and appeared wasted.

We're told the L.A. County D.A. won't charge the guy with possession -- because there was only a tiny amount of coke residue.

TV host Huell Howser famously exposed California with bug-eyed wonder, but kept one little piece of it to himself -- his desert hideway ... which just hit the market one year after his death.

Real estates sources tell us ... Howser's bachelor pad in Twentynine Palms just went on the market ... for $395K.

Huell died from cancer in Jan. 2013 ... and his Estate stands to make some good cash off the sale of the 2 BR, 2.5 BA ranch home. We're told he bought it in 1997 for $160K ... then completely renovated the pad.

The "California's Gold" host called it his "dream home." Check out the pics ... "You are in for a treat."

Flo Rida has reasons to be insecure -- he just lost a big lawsuit to a security company that claimed it got stiffed after it set up an elaborate security system in his Miami mansion.

Flo hired ADT to protect him from evildoers ... the system was tricked out with 27 cameras at a cost of $58,000.

Flo paid a little more than $19K as a deposit and then flaked out on the rest, claiming he never authorized the work.

Dwight Howard is finally cutting ties with the city of Orlando -- selling the amazing mega-mansion he abandoned there over two years ago ... for a HUGE loss, TMZ Sports has learned.

Dwight -- who was drafted by the Magic back in '04 -- originally dropped $7.78 mil on the 11,025 sq ft Longwood, FL property when it was built in '08 ... but now the place could be yours for a cool $4.9 mil.

The house is incredible ... built in the Gothic style and nicknamed the "Chateau D'Usse" -- after the famous French castle -- it has 5 bedrooms and comes complete with vaulted ceilings and fancy designer furniture.

It gets better, according to our friends at at Reatlor.com, you'll also find a massive kitchen with separate food prep area ... a large family room with two-side fireplace leading to a man cave (complete with pool table and wet bar) ... a temperature controlled wine cellar ... and a tiered movie theater.

But the outside is where things get really awesome ... there's a covered patio with fireplace and entertainment center ... an incredible pool with water-falls, water slides, a swim-in grotto ... and (best of all) a LAZY RIVER.

The L.A. County District Attorney has surveillance video that should make it pretty easy to prosecute Justin Bieber for allegedly egging his neighbor's house ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... The L.A. County Sheriff's Department's recommendation to file felony vandalism charges focuses on 2 pieces of critical evidence:

-- Surveillance video seized during the raid at Bieber's house. Our sources say ... the video shows Bieber in the vicinity of the area where the egging occurred at the time of the attack. You don't actually see him throwing eggs, but he's there. Sources connected with Bieber told TMZ earlier the video shows nothing, but that's NOT true. The Sheriff's Dept. has given the video to the D.A.

-- A video obtained by TMZ in which you hear what sure sounds like Justin Bieber verbally going at it with the neighbor in the middle of the egging. At one point you ever hear Bieber scream, "F*** you! I got another one for you actually." The video is too dark to actually see him.

In addition there are 2 eyewitnesses ... the neighbor ... who openly has beef with Bieber -- and his 13-year-old daughter. The girl made a 911 call which our sources say matches the time Bieber was seen on the surveillance video.

The 2 videos make it almost impossible for Bieber to deny he was throwing the eggs -- it would be shocking if the D.A. doesn't file criminal charges.

The open question -- will the D.A. file the case as a FELONY or a misdemeanor? The neighbor has submitted repair estimates totaling around $20,000. If a vandal destroyed an expensive car the D.A. would probably view it as a felony. The issue is whether the D.A. will appreciate that eggs can cause that much damage on an expensive home.

The D.A's decision should come down this week.

Paris Hilton is freaked out over a German guy who flew to L.A., and made a beeline for her house -- and when cops arrested him, his body told a very scary love story.

Sources familiar with the incident tell TMZ ... the guy took a cab from LAX Thursday night and went right to Paris' house. He got to the guard gate and appeared "extremely drunk."

The man told the guard he was in love with Paris and had to see her. He was turned away but came back the next day ... again, looking extremely wasted.

This time guards called the cops and the guy was arrested for possession of coke. When cops took a close look it was downright freaky -- the guy had tattoos of Paris all over him -- tattoos of her face, her full body and another angle with angel wings coming out of her back.

Chiefs QB Alex Smith is so desperate to put his 8 years in San Fran behind him ... he just slashed a cool $300K off the asking price on his CA mansion, TMZ Sports has learned.

Smith originally listed the 5,650 sq ft, Los Gatos home for $3.25 mil -- after getting traded to the Chiefs last year ... but now he's settling on $2.95 mil in a last ditch effort to unload the place.

The 4 bedroom, 4 bath crib includes a massive 1,200 sq ft master bedroom ... and sits on a shaded hilltop an hour south of soon-to-be demolished Candlestick Park.

Here's what's inside -- high vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and huge windows with amazing views. What's NOT inside? A Lombardi Trophy, cause y'know ...

The guy busted for lurking around Selena Gomez's home is getting a new place of his own -- a jail cell -- after he was convicted today of trespassing on her property ... TMZ has learned.

Juan Garcia pled no contest to creeping around her house. Garcia was sentenced today ... to 120 days in L.A. County Jail. Once he's out he's ordered to stay 150 yards away from Selena and her property ... for the next 3 years.

Well, that didn't take long ... TMZ Sports has learned Terrell Owens' wife is already demanding a divorce from the former NFL star ... just two weeks after tying the knot.

It was only back on January 23rd that T.O. married Rachel Snider in a secret ceremony at a courthouse in Newhall, CA.

But now, we've learned ... Rachel has left T.O. -- moved out of California -- and plans on filing for a divorce asap.

Rachel tells TMZ Sports ... she believes Terrell only married her for money -- and claims he used her so he could get a loan for a $2 million home in Sherman Oaks, CA.

"I felt in love ... and now I feel betrayed and heartbroken," Snider says.

Snider adds, "I really valued his love and friendship for 5 years. Out of the love in my heart, I tried to help him. We had a secret relationship for 5 years and I married him for love."

This is a story about two young people with a special connection who just bought a house together to begin a new chapter of their lives ... Derek Hough and Mark Ballas.

TMZ has learned ... the "Dancing with the Stars" pros -- who also happen to be BFFAEs -- just went halfsies on a quaint little place in the San Fernando Valley.

Official documents show ... the best buds each threw in on the $1.275 mil home ... which comes equipped with a massive closet, fabulous kitchen and a spa bath that could easily fit two.

The master bathroom even contains his and his sinks.

Don't text strangers kids ... especially strangers claiming they're Clay Aiken ... because chances are, you're being catfished and it could ruin your life.

TMZ broke the story ... Barbara Saylor was arrested for entering Clay's North Carolina home with binoculars. She was charged with trespassing and stalking.

Barbara's attorney Ken Steinberg now tells TMZ, the 58-year-old is actually the victim ... of an elaborate catfishing scam.

We're told Barbara met Clay years ago after his "American Idol" stint -- they even exchanged contact information ... somehow, Barbara got the wrong phone number and began texting a stranger.

Barbara's lawyer says the catfisher played Barbara like a fiddle -- carrying on a non-romantic, Manti Te'o-type text relationship with her for YEARS ... leading her to believe he was actually Clay Aiken.

The scam culminated with the catfisher goading Barbara to visit Clay at his house in North Carolina ... which she did ... and that's when she got arrested.

Barbara's attorney turned over all text records to the court to prove she was a victim, not a perp. The case was dismissed and late last week paperwork was filed to expunge the arrest from her record.

When "Meet the Fockers" star Teri Polo moves out of a neighborhood ... she does not leave the scent of a woman -- her landlord says it's more like a dung heap.

Polo's former landlord has filed a lawsuit, claiming when Polo moved out of her $7,000 a month rental home in L.A., she left behind a trail of dog feces that stunk up the neighborhood.

Polo is also accused of shocking urine abuse -- ruined carpets and noxious odors from pet pee.

The landlord -- celebrity lawyer Ed McPherson -- also claims she had the nerve to leave a bunch of food in the fridge which was not turned on, and the rancid smell made everyone gag.

Polo -- who currently stars in "The Fosters" -- is also accused of pilfering brand new blinds.

Lane Kiffin must really be in a hurry to get the hell out of CA ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned, the 'Bama bound coach just got HOSED on the smaller of his two West Coast properties.

The Crimson Tide's new offensive coordinator had plunked down $825K for the 1,813 square foot townhouse back in 2006, when he was an O.C. for USC.

But a few months after he got the chop from SC last year, Lane put the pad up for sale.

The 3-bedroom El Segundo condo ain't exactly as nice as the $5 million Manhattan Beach mansion that USC helped him buy ... but it's not too shabby as a second home for a college football coach.

Kiffin was originally asking $745,000 for the place ... but according to our friends at Realtor.Com, Lane ultimately let it go for $737,500 -- taking a $87,500 loss.

Winning never really was Lane's specialty in SoCal.

"Twilight" star Ashley Greene will have a brand new view of the breaking dawn -- she just dropped $2.43 million on a home in Beverly Hills.

Our real estate sources confirm Greene -- who played vampire Alice Cullen -- bought a 3 Bedroom, 2,713 sq. ft. home in one of the canyons.

Ashley had been living in a West Hollywood condo ... until an unattended burning candle torched the place last year.

Check out the pics ... Ashley's new crib has a lot of fancy stuff, but best of all -- a master suite with a private sitting room, fireplace, dry sauna, steam shower and soaking tub.

Plaxico Burress just got ROCKED by the real estate market ... 'cause he just unloaded his Florida mansion for HALF of what he paid for it back in 2005, TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... Plaxico originally bought the 6,872 square-foot mansion in Lighthouse Point, FL back in September 2005 for $3.995 ... but that was right before the bubble burst.

Since then, real estate values in the area have plummeted -- and Plax just sold the place for $2 mil.

Official documents obtained by TMZ Sports show Plax was able to get rid of the house as part of a short sale (where the bank accepts less money than what's owed on the mortgage).

Unclear why Plax decided to sell since the house in incredible ... with a full media screening room, incredible pool, marble everywhere and a 100-foot dock.

"Starship Troopers" star Casper Van Dien better start locking his doors ... because he triggered a police emergency when some DRUNK dude accidentally stumbled into his house and passed out on his couch, TMZ has learned.

Van Dien called 911 early Saturday morning to report a possible burglary in progress when his daughter noticed some stranger passed out in the living room of their Miami home.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops went into "emergency mode" -- and raced to the house. Cops say when they arrived, the intruder was "very intoxicated and unsure where he was."

The guy was immediately arrested and transported to a nearby station. Casper and his family took pics with the cops (see above).

But TMZ has learned ... the whole thing seems to be a simple drunken misunderstanding -- because friends of the "intruder" tell us ... the guy was in town for a bachelor party and he was staying in a nearby mansion with 12 buddies.

The buddies had gone to a strip club on Friday night and ditched the guy -- who was hammered -- and he eventually tried to get a cab back to the residence on his own.

But being as wasted as he was, he accidentally went to a house just down the street ... and walked in the front door (which happened to be unlocked) and passed out on the couch, thinking he had made it home.

He was wrong ... and spent 18 hours in jail.
