Celebrity Homes

While OJ Simpson rots in the Big House in Nevada ... he's about to lose his big house in Florida.

According to court records, JPMorgan Chase bank is foreclosing on the 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home OJ owns in Miami. Simpson bought the home in 2000 for $575,000 ... but the home was recently assessed at $478,401.

Everyone knows ... nothing attracts hot, young naked women like a badass grotto (just ask Hugh Hefner) which might be why Elin Nordegren is officially SCRAPPING plans to build one at her post-Tiger Florida mansion.

TMZ has learned ... Elin's engineer has filed documents to alter the specs on her multi-million dollar mansion re-building project in North Palm Beach.

In the docs, the engineer notes that Elin has decided to 86 the pool grotto and make a "slight reconfiguration" in the shape of the pool.

As we previously reported, Elin bought the place for a cool $12.5 mil ... then leveled it to build her dream home from the ground up. Clearly, money is not an issue.

For the record, Hugh Hefner has several mattresses surrounding his grotto ... for naps.

Naps.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa are well on their way to becoming single ... because we’ve learned Kobe has already transferred title on two of his mansions over to his soon-to-be ex-wife.

TMZ has checked official records ... which show on January 5th, Kobe surrendered his interest in 2 of their estates to Vanessa ... on that same day Vanessa surrendered her interest in a 3rd home to Kobe.

As far as who got what ... the title transfers don't list addresses, but our sources say Vanessa is now the full owner of the mansion she shared with Kobe in Newport Coast. As for the second home Vanessa now owns in full ... it's the nearby mansion where her mother has been living.

We’re told the estate Vanessa fully deeded to Kobe is the one currently under construction – also in Newport Coast.

TMZ broke the story ... Vanessa filed for divorce from Kobe on Dec 16th.

Although we heard rumblings of a possible reconciliation ... the property transfers make it seem the divorce is going full throttle.

Kobe's rep, Michael Sitrick, had no comment.

Someone may FINALLY be getting ready to leave Casa de Prime Time -- because a giant moving pod is currently sitting in the middle of Deion Sanders' driveway.

TMZ broke the story ... Deion and Pilar are BOTH living in the massive Texas estate, despite the fact Deion filed for divorce last month, after 12 years of marriage.

Just a few weeks ago, Deion went on the radio and claimed the living situation was "cool" -- insisting he and Pilar engage in friendly banter every morning.

But sources close to the couple tell us ... things actually aren't that cordial behind the scenes ... and it seems the awkward living situation is finally coming to an end.

Vanilla Ice's Florida mansion was in jeopardy of foreclosure ... but only for a second.

Ice lives in a gated community in Palm Beach. Seems Hurricane Wilma destroyed some palm trees back in 2005, and the homeowners association levied a special assessment of around $2,800 per homeowner to cover the cost of replacement.

Ice never paid, and the figure swelled to $4,100, so the homeowners association filed foreclosure documents in order to squeeze the money from the "rapper."

Ice's lawyers, Bradford Cohen and Joseph LoRusso, tell TMZ ... "The issue stemmed from Mr. VanWinkle (aka Mr. Ice) being unaware of any outstanding charges. As soon as he was made aware of the situation it was completely resolved."

Lenox Hill Hospital constructed a suite for VIPs which looks like a Four Seasons penthouse ... and the room was christened Saturday when Beyonce gave birth.

TMZ has obtained photos of the room where Blue Ivy came into this world, and it's baller. There are 4 flat screen TV's, state of the art electronics, a kitchenette, nice art, mahogany walls and plush furnishings. And take a look at the bed where Jay Z got some shut eye!

Elin Nordegren is SO rich -- she's basically building a replica of the multimillion dollar estate she knocked down.

TMZ has obtained renderings Elin submitted to the Palm Beach County Dept. of Planning, Zoning & Building. The exterior elevation drawing is verrrry similar to the house that was on the $12 million property before Elin razed it. Both are traditional/colonial homes with a very similar shape. The drawing looks similar to the 9,000 square foot house that was demolished.

Elin's builder told PEOPLE the house Elin 86'd was 90 years old, didn't meet code provisions to withstand hurricanes, and was infested with termites.

Of course, the house Elin builds will be brand spanking new. The supporting documents describe the house in detail.

-- 9 bedrooms
-- 2 large living rooms
-- huge formal dining room
-- 2 kitchens
-- large pool
-- GROTTO!!!
-- pool cabana with HUGE living room
-- 2 jacuzzis
-- detached guest house with 3 bedrooms
-- 3 guest bungalows
-- wine cellar
-- ginormous master wing with crazy big walk in closet
-- basement that runs the entire length of the house

There's 120 feet of retaining walls, and they are bringing in 4100 cubic yards of soil -- which is an enormous amount.

County officials have sent the architect back to the drawing board for some changes before the plans will be approved.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand have agreed ... Katy will stay in the couple's $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion and Russell will move out ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... the moving process is already under way and most of Russell's stuff is already out of the home.

We're told ... the two are on reasonably good terms with each other, considering they just broke up ... and the decision over the house went pretty smoothly.

The moving pods were out at Katy Perry and Russell Brand's home in the Hollywood Hills Wednesday ... which begs the question ... who gets to stay in the house??

Katy and Russell purchased the $6.5 million, 3 acre, Sunset Strip-area estate back in June ... but just last week, the British funnyman filed for divorce ... leaving the future of the home in limbo.

Not a great time to sell real estate in L.A. ... and if they decide they want to unload the place quick, it might mean a great deal for a potential buyer.

Elin Nordegren is a human wrecking machine ... who just LEVELED her brand new $12 MILLION Florida mansion ... because, well, she can afford it.

Elin bought the 9,000 square foot North Palm Beach home in March ... right after she struck a $100 million divorce settlement with Tiger Woods.

Apparently, Elin felt the modest 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom pad wasn't quite up to her standards ... so she did the only reasonable thing -- KNOCKED THE WHOLE PLACE DOWN!

We're told Nordegren has hired a high-priced architect to build her dream home ... and sources say every single worker is required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

No word on how long the project is expected to take -- but we're told Elin is living in a nearby mansion inside the private community while the new place is under construction.

It's good to be rich.

Amber Portwood's landlord is tossing her out in the street -- a fact the "Teen Mom" star might care more about ... if she hadn't been cooling her ass in jail for the last 17 days.

The company that owns Amber's rented home in Anderson, Indiana filed notice with the court yesterday that it wants her out ASAP.

According to the docs, Portwood somehow violated her lease agreement -- no specifics are listed -- and the landlord delivered a "notice to vacate" on Dec. 20 ... the day AFTER Amber got hauled off to jail for alleged probation violations.

Portwood's attorney tells TMZ he didn't know about the notice, so couldn't comment. If Amber misses a Jan. 25 court date she could be evicted immediately.

Big sister to the rescue -- TMZ has learned, Kim Kardashian just boarded a plane to Dallas because Khloe is in desperate need of help ... moving into her new house.

As we previously reported, Khloe's husband Lamar Odom has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks ... but sources tell TMZ, ever since the couple found a place to live in town -- a $7,500-a-month condo at the W Hotel -- Khloe's been freaking out about moving in.

We're told Khloe really needed a sister around for support -- so, Kim hopped a jet this morning at LAX (above) to help her sis with the transition process ... moving Khloe's stuff in, getting settled, stimulating the local economy, etc.

Deion Sanders and his wife Pilar have made a shocking decision -- they will continue to live under the same roof, even though their divorce war has become epic.

But here's how rich folk do it ... The house is 29,122 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. In case they want to swim, one will get the indoor pool, the other will swim outdoors.

And to avoid those awkward moments when they might run into each other while taking a stroll, they can roam separately on the 109 acre estate.

Truth be told ... Deion probably still wants Pilar out, but we're told she has no plans to move.

Heidi Fleiss is being forced out of her place of business in Las Vegas, TMZ has learned --after the former Hollywood madam allegedly turned the place into a dungheap.

Heidi's landlord served her with an eviction notice on November 21st -- demanding she clear the premises of her dog-grooming business "Dirty Dog Laundry" asap -- but we're told, she hasn't moved jack.

Sources tell us, the landlord served her because Heidi hadn't been paying her rent -- and worse ... she turned the place into a dump.

Heidi tells us, she gave up on the business months ago because she's planning to move back to L.A. -- and handed the place over to a friend ... who promised to take care of it.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have already wreaked havoc in Dallas, by setting off a war among a number of high-end realtors who are vying for their business.

The displaced couple has been looking for a place to live, and rather than using just one realtor, they decided 6 would be 6 times better. Here's the problem ... the realtors claim Khloe and Lamar made each of them feel as if they were the only ones, and they're now fighting over who can lay claim to a commission.

And it gets even better, because cameras for their reality show have been following Khloe and Lamar around during their house hunt, with different realtors in tow. So the realtors not only think they'll score a commission, they're also dreaming of fame.

Apparently Khloe and Lamar have recognized their lapse of etiquette, and they've settled on just one realtor. What's more, we're told they just found a condo in the W Hotel. It's a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1800 square-foot pad. It's listed for lease at $7,500 a month.

Deion Sanders is going to wish he lived in a one-bedroom apartment in a bad part of town -- because TMZ has learned a provision in his prenup states the bigger the home he lives in ... the more he has to fork over to his soon-to-be ex-wife Pilar.

As TMZ first reported, Deion and Pilar are ending their marriage after 12 years. According to our sources, the papers will be filed soon.

Sources close to the couple tell us Deion had agreed to buy Pilar a house when they split ... equal to half the value of whatever their current home is. Well nowadays they live in Prosper, TX -- in a home that's almost 30,000 square feet, with 10 bedrooms, 9 full baths (and 4 half baths) ... and a listing price of $21 million.

We're told Pilar has been house hunting since Thanksgiving, looking for a home in the $9-12 million range.
