Celebrity Homes

Rachel Uchitel is making up some MAJOR ground on the millions she gave back to Tiger Woods -- TMZ has learned she just raked in a $330,000 profit after flipping her NYC apartment.

Uchitel bought the swanky 3-bedroom Park Avenue pad last year for $1.62 mil -- renovated the place -- and put it up for sale because she had a gut feeling the time was right.

Turns out Rachel has one helluva gut -- because she just closed a deal to sell the place for $1.95 mil ... not bad considering the real estate market isn't exactly booming at the moment.

We're told Rachel is pretty fired up about the deal -- and plans to reinvest in more real estate in the hopes of hitting the jackpot all over again.

Joel Madden is looking to scrape together an extra $5,950 a month -- because TMZ has learned, he just put his giant Glendale, CA property up for rent ... and according to the listing, that's what it costs to live there.

The 4,800 sq. ft. house has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms -- and Joel originally bought the place back in 2004 for $1.8 million ... right around the time he dated 16-year-old Hilary Duff.

Jay Cutler has cut even more ties in Colorado -- the former Denver Broncos quarterback finally sold off the mansion he lived before he was traded to Chicago ... TMZ has learned.

According to official documents, Cutler purchased the home in Parker, CO in 2005 for $1.34 million. Cutler put his home up for sale in 2010 for $1.625 ... but nobody took the bait.

Cutler eventually lowered his asking price ... and the 5,344 square foot estate finally sold on July 19 for a cool $1,000,000.

The L.A. home where Anna Nicole Smith shot her wacky reality show is officially on the market ... and it can be yours for a cool $1.75 mil.

TMZ has learned ... the people in charge of Anna's estate put the home up for sale on Sunday -- and we're told the money made from the sale of the house will go back into Anna's estate.

Chad Ochocinco is fired up about moving to New England now that he's a member of the Patriots ... but he's not exactly ready to make a long term commitment when it comes to buying a place.

Sources close to the wide receiver tell TMZ ... Chad plans to rent a townhouse for now and wants to see how this year goes with the Patriots before he plunks down a chunk of change on anything substantial.

According to our sources, Chad doesn't need anything too fancy and would rather spend his time traveling back to Florida to see his fiancée, Evelyn Lozada.

22-year-old BILLION-heiress Petra Ecclestone -- the chick who just bought Candy Spelling's mansion for $85 MILLION -- says she's NOT spoiled ... she's privileged -- and there's a HUGE difference.

Ecclestone spoke with "Good Morning America" -- and explained why she decided to purchase the home ... saying, "It was a great investment, and I got a really good deal and it was, like, prime real estate."

When asked why she didn't use the money to pay for affordable homes for 1000's of families -- she replied, "I help as much as I can, but at the end of the day ... however much the house has costed, that's not going to kind of I dunno ... like change the world I don't think."

The "Idol" gang FREAKED OUT when a series of crazy "coincidences" occurred in the Bev Hills mansion back in March ... including a spooky spider infestation, flickering lights and one of the wannabes SWORE they saw a white sheet come to life and float down the stairs.

But now, the house has officially sold to a guy named Steven B. Dunn -- the guy who started a baby product company called Munchkin, Inc. ... which posted more than $100 mil in sales in 2008.

The house -- 9 beds, 9 baths, giant pool, marble all over the place and a motor court with enough room to park 100 cars -- was originally on the market for $12 mil ... so it appears Dunn got himself quite a deal.

The bikini babe likes flaunting her unreal estate.

TMZ has obtained the deed of trust -- filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office -- which shows Petra Ecclestone became the proud owner of Candy's 57,000 square foot mansion on Thursday.

The docs show Petra borrowed all but $2,565,940 (our calculator ran out of numbers for the cents) from Slavica Ecclestone, her mom.

Slavica is flush with cash, because her ex-husband Bernie is a billionaire Formula One mogul and she did well in the divorce settlement.

Ecclestone (right) -- daughter of Formula 1 racing mogul Bernie Ecclestone -- bought the estate for a cool $85 mil ... a STEAL considering Candy originally wanted $150 mil for the place.

The estate has a bowling alley, beauty salon, several gift-wrapping rooms and parking for 100 cars.

The 4,600 square foot luxury estate boasts lots of awesome features -- including 5 bedrooms, with 2 master suites, 4 bathrooms and a KICK ASS back yard -- complete with a rock slide and a waterfall.

Sources connected with the deal tell us ... the home is in Brentwood -- not too far from where O.J. Simpson lived at the time he killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Maria had been actively looking at homes for 6 months on the west side of L.A., but has now settled on a home near the one she shared with Arnold.

We're told the couple is determined to keep their divorce amicable, with both Arnold and Maria getting joint custody of their two minor children. The proximity of the two homes will make shared custody easier.

From what we can tell, the deal is still in escrow, but we're told it's solid and will close soon.

Even though the new house clearly isn't finished, Jon and wife Lisa can wait no longer. The home is 7,000 square feet and was extensively renovated over the last year.

Jon -- who we're told is raking in $20 million over the next 2 years on "Two and a Half Men" -- clearly had Charlie on his mind as he carried a chair, wearing a t-shirt with the letters, "BLITZED."

The "Wrestler" star was previously living in the Meatpacking district -- where he was renting a 5,000 square foot loft.

His new apartment in the West Village only costs $13,500 -- and features 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a fireplace, and a pretty little garden.

The badass 3,946 square foot, Mediterranean-style home features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a heated pool -- for those frigid few days when SoCal dips below 70 degrees.

And to give you an idea of the crazy L.A. housing market -- Leona's home is only 7.7 miles away from the legendary Spelling Manor ... which just sold for $85 MILLION.

The 5-bedroom, 3-bath stone home sits on 15.8 acres in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania -- and was built in the 1830's.
