Young Buck I Just Got Evicted!!!
Young Buck is in SERIOUS trouble -- the rapper has been evicted from his Tennessee mansion ... AND the I.R.S is still on his ass for more than $300k in unpaid taxes.
TMZ has learned ... the former G-Unit rapper was ordered to vacate his 5,000 square foot home by May 16th.
The details surrounding the eviction are unclear -- however, court docs show the judge in Buck's bankruptcy case signed off on the sale of the house ... and ordered that the proceeds go towards paying off his massive $333,975.69 debt to Uncle Sam.
Sources tell us ... the rapper -- who bought the house in 2004 -- was spotted earlier this week carrying boxes and removing all of his stuff from the residence.
It's just the latest in a sad series of problems for the rapper ... who filed for bankruptcy back in 2010 ... and was SHOT AT 11 TIMES back in March.
We reached out to Buck for comment -- so far, no response.

As for the one piece the owner kept ... the stripper pole, which will become a coat rack.

Ellen & Portia de Rossi Downsizing & Out in Beverly Hills
After selling their old mega-compound to Ryan Seacrest for $49 million, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are really downsizing ... into a cozy $18 million mid-century modern Beverly Hills estate.
In their new "modest" digs, Ellen & Portia will have to find a way to make due with 8,500 square feet featuring 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, a commercial kitchen, several patios and only one rectilinear swimming pool, according to The Real Estalker.
While their new crib is still ridiculously awesome -- the place has a tree in the middle of the living room -- the ladies will be packed in like A-list sardines compared to the 9,200 square foot mansion, 3 guest houses and 2.7 acres they just sold to the "American Idol" host.
Times are tough for everyone in this economy ... except Ryan Seacrest.

Ellen DeGeneres Estate Ryan Seacrest Now Officially the Proud Owner
It's official ... Ryan Seacrest is the owner of Ellen DeGeneres' epic, Beverly Hills estate.
We've learned title was officially transferred to Ryan on Wednesday.
We have now learned exactly what Ryan paid for the property. Ellen listed it at $49 million, and although one of our sources told us Ryan paid close to the asking price, we have now confirmed Ryan paid just under $39 mil.
We broke the story Ryan snagged the estate, which covers a city block and is just shy of 3 acres. In addition to the 9,200 square foot main house, there are 3 other houses on the property. The gym is the size of a large health club.
As for Ellen, she bought the main house from "Will and Grace" producer Max Mutchnick for $29 mil and then purchased the surrounding properties. Bottom line ... we're told Ellen lost money on the deal, but given the real estate slump, she still did ok.
Forbes says Ryan raked in $59 mil last year, so he can afford it.

Terrell Owens Foreclosure Fight in Miami
No light at the end of the tunnel for Terrell Owens -- TMZ has learned, the former NFL star allegedly owes over a million bucks on a fancy Miami beach condo ... and now, the bank wants to foreclose on it.
It's one of the last homes Terrell still owns after being forced to sell off several others -- most recently in Dallas -- but Deutsche National Bank sued him in April, claiming he still owes $1.47 million on the property ... and hasn't made a payment in 6 months.
According to mortgage docs attached to the lawsuit, Terrell originally took out a loan worth $1.55 million in 2006 ... and had faithfully been making monthly payments of $5,126 ... that is, until last November.
Terrell has responded to the lawsuit, claiming the bank "lacks standing" to foreclose on the property -- and he refuses to admit there's an outstanding balance problem.

Ryan Seacrest Buys Ellen DeGeneres' $49 Mil Estate
Ryan Seacrest has snagged Ellen DeGeneres' amazing Beverly Hills estate, which was listed for a cool $49 million, and he paid close to the asking price ... TMZ has learned.
Seacrest, who is reportedly worth $125 million and rakes in $45 million a year (these reports are sometimes off -- he probably makes more) ... will be the proud owner of the 9,200 square foot main house, 3 guest houses, and a couple of cement ponds. The estate sits on 2.87 acres -- for Bev Hills, that's huge. It basically covers an entire block.
Our sources say Ryan is paying within a couple of million dollars of the asking price. The deal is in escrow and it will close this week.
One realtor -- Kurt Rappaport -- repped both Ryan and Ellen in the deal ... nice commission.
The house was formerly owned by Max Mutchnick, co-creator of "Will and Grace." Ellen paid $29 mil, but then purchased the adjacent properties.
It pays to have 20 jobs.

Usher's Ex-Wife Don't Leave Me Homeless!
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster will be out on the street in less than 60 days -- if Usher wants it that way, and she's totally freaked out.
Sources tell us, the couple -- who's trying to settle a nasty custody dispute -- is deadlocked in mediation, and the biggest bone of contention is Usher's Georgia mansion.
Tameka's currently living there -- but under the divorce settlement Usher can sell the property whenever he wants ... as long as he gives her a 60-day heads up.
We're told Tameka fears Usher is going to pull the trigger -- leaving her buried in legal debt with no place to live -- so she's asking him for a permanent home for her and Usher's kids.
Usher's response ... no way, no how. He says he's already paid her enough.
And that's why judges are in business. The trial continues later this month.

Dr. Phil I'm Dumping Another One of My L.A. Mansions
Dr. Phil is trying to unload his dinky little mansion on the Sunset Strip ... the weakest property in his $40 million dollar L.A. real estate collection ... and all he wants is a mere $2.7 mil.
TMZ has learned ... the doc just officially listed the 2,300 square foot Hollywood home ... which sits right above the infamous Chateau Marmont.
Phil bought the pad in 2008 for $2.56 million -- after falling in love with its 3-bedrooms, 2-baths, hardwood floors, swimming pool and panoramic L.A city views.
The move comes as no surprise -- considering the doc has been on a mission to sell off a bunch if his real estate ever since he dropped $29.5 million on an 11,000 square foot palace in Bev Hills in 2010.
Just last year, Phil sold his OTHER Beverly Hills mansion for $12 million ... and listed his 7,000 square foot hideaway in Beverly Glen for a cool $6.25 mil -- though he's since pulled that home off the market.
Moral of the Story -- Dr. Phil has entirely too much money.

Octomom I'm Buying a DUNGEON With Masturbation Money
Octomom has deep, dark plans for the money she's earning with her new solo masturbation video -- telling TMZ, she wants to buy a "dungeon" with the cash ... to keep her and her 14 kids safe from the prying eyes of the public.
Of course, "dungeon" is a metaphor -- what Nadya Suleman means is she wants to buy a house that's far away from everything ... preferably in a low-key gated community ... where she can "hide."
Octo was on her way into Makeup Mandy in West Hollywood this week -- to get a spray tan for her big shoot -- and she told us, "The only dream I have is to buy a safe home for my family."
Octo wouldn't comment on how much she's getting paid for the gig -- but she did say she's extremely nervous. That makes 6 billion of us.

Star Jones My Gross Apartment ... Is a GOLD MINE!!
Star Jones just raked in a $500k profit by selling her NYC penthouse ... the same penthouse she once described as a moldy, leaky, dangerous disaster area.
Jones bought the 3-bedroom, three-story, 1,936-square-foot pad back in 2001 for $980,000 ... back when she was still cashing checks from "The View."
But after 11 years, one divorce, a lap-band surgery and a feud with Barbara Walters ... Jones managed to sell the swanky digs for a colossal $1.55 million ... which for all you math nerds, is a cool $570k in profit.
Now, here's the rub -- Jones HATED the place ... and even sued the building for $700,000 back in 2008 ... claiming the place had water problems that led to mold that led to a disgruntled TV star.
Jones eventually settled the lawsuit with the building ... and we're guessing the water problem was eventually taken care of.
So, we gotta ask ...
