Celebrity Homes

Joanna Krupa puts on a rich and famous front ... but TMZ has learned her home is on the chopping block because she owes a fortune in back mortgage.

A bank has filed foreclosure documents -- obtained by TMZ -- notifying her that her Encino home is going up for auction, because she's failed to pay nearly $725,000 she owes.

We don't know what it's worth, but it could be way upside down, because in 2004 the house sold for $670K.

The "Real Housewives of Miami" star is facing multiple problems, because the show is also on the chopping block. She's tried to jump ship to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" but we're told producers don't want her.

Too bad ... she could be the Andrea Zuckerman of the cast.

The mother of ex-boxing champ Pernell Whitaker tells TMZ Sports ... she was "shocked" her son EVICTED her from her home Wednesday -- but says she refuses to beg him to stay in the house.

We spoke to Novella Whitaker -- who had been living in a Virginia home Pernell said he bought for her more than 30 years ago ... until Pernell went to court and had her legally evicted so he could sell the place to pay bills.

73-year-old Novella tells us, "I was shocked when I heard what Pernell was doing. I wish I had been smart and had the house put in my name. Then he couldn't have done this."

Novella says she refuses to beg Pernell to let her stay in the house -- explaining, "I'm not asking him for anything. I'm gonna be okay."

"My daughter Zelda is taking me in," Novella says ... "She has enough room. I feel comfortable over there. I'm fine now, but I thought it was such a mean and sad thing for my son to do to me."

As for Pernell, he bought the place for his mom back in 1984 at the height of his career when he was rollin' in dough. Now, he's desperate for cash ... and after a judge signed off on the eviction, he called the court victory a "beautiful moment."

DMX says his estranged wife is suffering from delusions of grandeur -- telling TMZ, she insists on living in a house she can't afford, refusing to pay a single bill ... and that's why the bank is rearing its ugly head.

TMZ broke the story ... DMX's house in fancy Mt. Kisco, New York is in foreclosure after the rapper stopped paying the mortgage in 2008.

The house is in DMX's name -- but the rapper tells us, he stopped living there in 2005 and his wife Tashera agreed to take over all financial responsibilities related to the home, including mortgage payments.

X claims Tashera then withdrew $100,000 from his bank account while he was in jail -- without his permission -- and didn't even use it to pay the mortgage. He says he has no idea what she actually did with the money.

He tells us, "I told her she is living above her means, that you can't still live on the same block as Martha Stewart and Chevy Chase, you gotta downgrade, but she refuses to do so because the house is in my name. She doesn't give a f*** about my credit."

Justin Bieber's new neighbors aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat ... quite the opposite, there's a big protest scheduled for Monday morning thrown by residents who fear their kids will get mowed down by the pot-smoking, sizzurp-slurping speed demon.

Residents in the uber-exclusive area of Buckhead -- where Bieber is renting a house from rap mogul Dallas Austin. The Buckhead Neighborhood Coalition is asking protesters to show up at 6 AM ET ... and it looks like lots of people will be there.

More than 200 people say they're going ... after signing a petition which reads, "We have worked hard to achieve our goals and get where we are. Justin Bieber's relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children."

The petition goes on, "Some can't even let their child play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence before. What's to say he won't do it again?"

And the end is great: "Please don't allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain."

DMX may be whacked out most of the time ... but he's still crafty enough to beat the bank in the foreclosure game.

Mr. X has a house in Mt. Kisco NY ... worth just south of $1 million. Problem is ... he's falling behind on his mortgage ... hundreds of thousands of dollars, so the bank initiated a foreclosure action.

Truth be told ... the rapper hasn't paid a penny for 1400 DAYS ... since 2008. He currently owes $258,927.

Somehow, the bank hasn't sealed the deal and taken the house back. The foreclosure action is still active ... but DMX is still the owner.

Arizona wasn't as kind to Mr. X. Back in 2009 ... the bank dropped the hammer on his house near Phoenix while he was in the slammer.

Cops are sending patrol cars to Justin Bieber's house numerous times a day to make sure people are letting him live in peace ... because they say, "He's not an animal in a zoo."

TMZ broke the story ... Justin has rented the Atlanta estate of rap mogul Dallas Austin for 3 months. The Sandy Springs Police Dept. is responsible for patrolling the area where Bieber is living.

A Captain for the PD tells TMZ, they're aware Bieber is a big celeb who attracts lots of fans, especially young girls. The Captain says they are now putting cops on special patrol, specifically driving past the home multiple times every day and night ... to make sure people aren't loitering and trespassing.

Mega record producer Dallas Austin just made it clear ... Justin Bieber can do ANYTHING he wants in Austin's Atlanta home ... ANYTHING.

We got Austin leaving Warwick nightclub in Hollywood Wednesday night ... and asked him about the story we broke earlier in the day ... that Bieber just rented Austin's ATL mansion for 3 months.

Listen carefully to the video. It sounds like Austin is open to selling Bieber the house and that Bieber's down with that.

NHL living god Jeremy Roenick is becoming one helluva slasher in his post-hockey career -- 'cause he just knocked $3 MILLION off the price of his INSANE Arizona mega-compound.

The future Hall-of-Famer is desperate to sell his 10,000 square foot palace in Scottsdale ... that comes complete with its own BASEBALL FIELD and GOLF COURSE.

Roenick originally put the place on the market in 2012 for $11.7 million, according to our friends at Realtor.com ... but didn't get the kind of bites he was hoping for.

So, Jer lowered the price to $8.5 million, hoping a $3 million discount will finally bring in the offers.

The place is absolutely sick ... with a man cave, poker room and a car-collectors garage.

Hockey players be ballin'.

Justin Bieber has found a new home in Atlanta -- for the next three months -- and the 5,500 sq. ft. mansion looks like something out of "Star Trek."

Sources tell us, Bieber moved into the 4-bedroom spaceship-looking home of record producer Dallas Austin last week -- the guy behind songs like "They Don't Care About Us" by Michael Jackson, "Don't Let Me Get Me" by Pink, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" by Boyz II Men.

Dallas is also Chili's baby daddy ... Chili from TLC.

We're told Bieber plans to live in the USS Enterprise while he works on his new hip hop album -- and shops for his own place.

As we reported, Bieber's been mansion hunting in Atlanta's exclusive Buckhead neighborhood -- where Usher currently lives -- but so far, he hasn't found his dream home. His plan was to have another home in L.A. and to split his time between the 2 cities.

Justin Bieber's plan to move to Atlanta may be the worst decision he's made in years -- and that's really saying something -- because it could land him behind bars FOR YEARS.

TMZ broke the story ... Bieber now has his mind set on buying an estate in Atlanta and living there part time.

Here's the problem ... and it's a big one. In Georgia, possession of a tiny bit of weed is a misdemeanor that can land you in jail for 1 year. And, if it's more than an ounce, it becomes a FELONY and the maximum penalty is A DECADE BEHIND BARS.

By contrast ... in California 28.5 grams of pot or less is like a traffic ticket. And more than 28.5 grams is just a misdemeanor with the max penalty of 6 months in county jail.

Also in California, you can avoid criminal prosecution altogether by simply getting a medical marijuana card. There's no such thing in Georgia.

As for sizzurp ... in Georgia even a tiny bit of unprescribed codeine can land you in prison for 15 YEARS.

In California ... a little sizzurp is a felony, but the maximum punishment is 3 years.

Atlanta residents beware -- Justin Bieber has been scoping out houses in Atlanta ... and one of the mansions he's eyeing is on BLACKLAND ROAD.

The 7-bedroom 16,000 sq. ft. house is located in the exclusive Buckhead district -- where Usher currently lives. Young Jeezy also calls Buckhead home.

It's listed for $10.95 million.

As we reported, Bieber wants to move to Atlanta to be closer to a thriving hip hop community -- and this house is extra special because it meets Bieber's list of Atlanta real estate criteria. After his Calabasas fiasco, sources tell us, Bieber's demands include an estate that:

-- Can't be visible from the street (preferably secluded on 5+ acres)
-- A minimum of 10,000+ sq. ft.
-- Lists for between $4 and $10 mil.

So far, we're told Bieber has breezed through multiple estates, and he's looking to buy ASAP.

As we previously reported ... Bieber is selling his Calabasas mansion and he's looking at large, private estates 20 miles from where he currently lives. Yes, he can afford 2 houses.

Sean Combs didn't screw over his baby mama by allowing her home to go into foreclosure -- turns out she's the one who allegedly screwed HIM over by flaking on the payments.

TMZ broke the story ... Diddy and Misa Brim took out a $712K mortgage on a house she and their son would live in, but the bank claims monthly payments abruptly stopped in 2010, and now the house is destined for the auction block.

On the surface it sounds like big, bad Diddy turned his back on Misa, but we've obtained a legal doc that discloses there was a side agreement in which Misa clearly says SHE's responsible for paying the mortgage. Diddy's only involvement was putting his ass on the line so she could get the loan.

According to the agreement, Diddy claims if he had to pay to keep up the mortgage payments, she'd be responsible for paying him back. And he says he paid more than $28K to cover her, and he's actually sued her to get the money back.

Bad news for fans of Tim Lincecum and "50 Shades of Grey" -- you've just missed your chance to buy the right-hander's Seattle condo ... which is located in the SAME building Christian Grey lives in the book.

The 29-year-old ace dropped $1.575 mil on his hometown apartment weeks after he won the World Series back in 2010 ... and just unloaded the place for a cool $2.25 mil -- about $225K shy of what he was originally asking.

The 2,442 sq ft pad sits on the 28th floor of the Escala building ... which treats its residents to a private spa, gym with a yoga studio, a catering kitchen and dining hall, a massive private theater, and a dog run.

Inside the apartment you'll find ... a giant master suite with walk-in closets and spa-like bathroom ... an open kitchen with custom cabinetry ... granite counters ... and cherry hardwood floors.

There's also a sweet wrap around deck that rounds out the condo -- which features incredible views of downtown Seattle, the Puget Sound, and the Olympic mountains.

The gravy train appears to have come to a screeching halt for the mother of Diddy's firstborn son -- TMZ has learned, the bank is now foreclosing on her home.

According to new legal docs, Diddy purchased a swank 3-bedroom 3,215 sq. ft. house in Westchester, NY, back in 2003 for ex Misa Hylton-Brim -- the mother of his first child Justin -- but for some reason, the bank stopped getting payments in 2010.

According to legal docs, Diddy took out a $712,000 mortgage. As of 2010, he owed $622,518 ... a sum that's been accruing interest ever since.

Miami Heat center Chris "Birdman" Andersen is cutting ties with his Colorado nest -- the same house the FBI raided in a crazy kiddie porn investigation two years ago, TMZ Sports has learned.

The 7-footer bought the 5,691 sq ft crib in Larkspur, CO back in '09 for $500K -- but back in 2012, feds raided the place in an investigation allegedly involving an underage girl.

But the whole thing was BS and Anderson was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Birdman put the place on the market last year -- asking $925K -- but he ended up settling for $750k back in November ... chalking up a cool $250k profit.

Justin Bieber is a fickle kind of guy ... we've learned he's now looking at homes in the Atlanta area because it puts him smack in the middle of a hip hop mecca.

Bieber's been in Atlanta since last week -- where he's been partying shirtless with Diddy -- and sources close to the singer tell us, he's fallen in love with the city all over again.

Bieber lived in Atlanta briefly when he first moved to the United States years ago -- after Scooter Braun signed him -- and his most recent trip has stirred up very fond memories.

In addition to Diddy, Bieber's been hanging with southern staples T.I. and Rick Ross -- and we're told he's already asked them about where to buy the nicest real estate in the city.

Added bonus -- Atlanta isn't the paparazzi hive that L.A. is ... and Bieber has been enjoying the extra privacy ... for now. (Of course, paps tend to go where the money is -- and Bieber's a walking bank.)

It also makes sense because we're told Bieber is transitioning into hip hop -- he's Bizzle now.

This does NOT mean Bieber is abandoning L.A. As we first reported, he's been looking at 20 acre estates in Hidden Valley ... around 20 miles from his current home in Calabasas.
