Celebrity Homes

Penn Jillette might just have the perfect buyers for his Las Vegas mansion and the new residents are all high ... in cholesterol.

The United Church of Bacon, a group of more than 12,000 religious skeptics and atheists has its collective eyes set on the 7,500 square foot pad. We're told they'll use the place for community meetings, weddings and for plain old, "having fun."

As for the home, which Jillette nicknamed "The Slammer," it sits on 8.5 acres and features a lap pool, catwalks connecting different wings of the house and even a fire pole from one level to the floor.

The church's central tenet is that bacon is real ... it's proven to exist. The church's money better be real too ... the home is listed at more than $2 million.

Taylor Swift scoffed at reports she didn't buy the legendary, $25 million, Samuel L. Goldwyn estate in Bev Hills, but we checked the tax records and the paper trail leads right to her doorstep!

Taylor went on social media Tuesday to shoot down stories she bought the late movie mogul's estate. She said, "What the press says I'm doing: Buying a Bev Hills mansion, getting married in an English castle. What I'm doing: Playing a show in St. Louis."

So we checked the property records. We found out today, Thursday, October 1, 2015, title to the estate changed hands from the seller to a company that's headquartered in Nashville. The address of the business goes right back to Taylor's Nashville address.

The single life agrees with Gavin Rossdale -- in the real estate department, anyway -- because he just nailed down the sickest bachelor pad in Bel-Air.

Hard to get over a cool chick like Gwen Stefani, but a nearly 4,000 sq. ft spread sure helps! Our sources tell us Gavin moved in to this 5 bedroom, 5 bath spread just over a month ago.

We're told Gavin dug the place because it's not far from the Bev Hills home where Gwen and their kids live. He's only renting, but it has airliner views of L.A., separate guest house ... and an incredibly massive pool worthy of a Four Seasons resort.

Again. Divorce sucks, but ...

Riff Raff's moving into a Las Vegas home fit for a Purple Icon.

The rapper says he'll coronate the 5 bedroom home, "The Codeine Castle." Its "Beetlejuice"-like purple interiors are pretty spectacular. There's even a purple weight room ... perfect since he's been beefin' up in the muscle dept.

There's a basketball court and an oasis pool with a waterfall, slide, mini-beach, and a swim-up BBQ and bar. There's also a huge yard for his two huskies ... Kody and Jody.

Jody Highroller, aka Riff Raff, isn't quite yet the proud owner of the $1.299 million home -- it's still in escrow.

Only thing missing ... neon aquaberry Versace pillows.

Matt Groening is literally living a Joni Mitchell song ... his neighbor paved paradise and put up a parking lot, and he's pissed.

Matt is enraged one of his neighbors is taking an ax to four 100-year-old pine trees, which he says are on protected property.

The "Simpsons" co-creator says the neighbor wants to pave over the area to accommodate her cars.

The Santa Monica neighborhood is up in arms. Bobby Shriver, the former Santa Monica mayor and member of the Kennedy clan, along with his wife, Malissa, tried to stop the chainsaw massacre by protesting to the City of L.A. Turns out, the trees are on the border between Santa Monica and L.A. and the stumps rest on the L.A. side.

One neighbor, Jerry Rubin, actually chained himself to one of the trees in protest.

Matt and company won a temporary reprieve ... the City of L.A. ordered the tree hackers to stop until they determine conclusively whether she has a right to chop the pines down.

As they say ... you don't know what you got till it's gone ...

The man who played meth mastermind Walter White has moved to greener and bigger pastures, so he just unloaded his modest digs for a return that would humiliate the diabolical chemistry teacher.

Bryan Cranston just sold his North Hollywood condo he bought in 2008 ... pre-"Breaking Bad" but post- "Malcolm in the Middle." The digs are relatively small -- 1,270 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms and 3 baths.

He bought the place for $451,500 and just sold it for $497,000. Walter made 1,000 times that in one transaction.

But don't cry for Bryan. He has other properties in L.A. and is doing just fine.

Fredrik Eklund isn't leaving "Million Dollar Listing New York" -- despite reports he was being 86'd for diva demands.

Eklund will definitely be back next season, so says his manager, Steven Grossman.

It's kind of ridiculous to think Bravo would ax anyone for diva behavior -- remember, they have 100 housewives on the payroll. But we're told Eklund's not a diva by any stretch.

Fact is ... his show's doing so well, they want to give Fredrik a spin-off. If that happens he'd probably leave "MDLNY."

Beyonce and Jay Z are about to become homeless in LA.

TMZ has learned the place they've rented since February has been sold and they have to be out lock, stock, and barrel in 60 days.

Beyonce and Jay dropped $150k a month on the 16,000 square foot Holmby Hills estate ... this after looking in vain for a place to buy in the L.A. area.

It appears they weren't interested in outbidding the buyer, who agreed to pay $35.5 million for the pad.

So the task at hand is now finding new digs, and we're told the couple is already on the hunt in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Holmby Hills.

Just because Wladimir Klitschko moved in with his baby mama and fiancee Hayden Panettiere doesn't mean he gets control of the decor ... which is why the boxing champ sleeps in a pretty pink bedroom.

Check out the pics from Domino.com featuring the Nashville pad Hayden and Wlad share ... complete with a queen size master bed -- shocking considering he's 6'6" and 245 lbs (then again, she probably doesn't take up much space).

Wlad does have his own man cave -- a "music room" complete with a couch where the arms open up into insulated beer coolers.

Russell Wilson did the impossible ... he just found a way to make Ciara's famous ass look even better -- put it in a lakeside mansion with killer views.

TMZ Sports has learned the Seahawks QB plunked down $6.7 million (of his new $88 mil contract) for the crib overlooking Lake Washington in Bellevue, WA -- and the place is insane!

There's a hot lead on who robbed Chris Brown of $50,000 ... and our sources say they're closing in on a few known associates of the Bloods.

Law enforcement tells TMZ, they have video of the car that fled Chris' Tarzana house after the robbers held a gun to his aunt's head and made off with the $50k. Some good detective work led cops to a gas station near Chris' home, where they checked surveillance video and saw the getaway car.

Our sources say cops now have a partial license plate, which has led them to Compton and someone who may be a member of the Bloods, a group in which Chris has had ties.

Detectives are interviewing some of the locals and we're told they're closing in on the culprits.

50 Cent does not want to suffer in the dark ... which is why he's asking a bankruptcy judge to keep the utility company from shutting down his massive unit.

50's in a corner ... the bankruptcy judge has him in a straitjacket, prohibiting the mogul from paying even the most basic bills without court approval. He's asking for permission to pay his electric, gas, trash removal, cable, Internet and phone bills so he doesn't get shut down.

And this is interesting ... between gas and electric, 50 drops an average of $10,597 a month. Remember, he has a 50,000 square foot mansion in Connecticut which he bought from Mike Tyson.

We're thinking ... don't air condition the whole house ... you're in bankruptcy!

In the market for a good sale? Palazzo di Amore -- the most expensive house on the market in the U.S. ... developed by Mohamed Hadid -- is now priced to move ... at $145 million!

The mega mansion belongs to real estate billionaire Jeff Greene and sits on 25 acres high up in Beverly Hills. The main house is a whopping 35,000 square feet.

The property also has a working vineyard, a 128-foot reflecting pool and fountain, a swimming pool, spa, BBQ area and a tennis court.

Akon's Georgia mansion continues to be a thorn in his side ... as yet another contractor is claiming he didn't get paid for working on the superstar producer and singer's floors.

A company called Capital Floors has filed a $15,000 lien against the troublesome home -- small potatoes compared to the $36,765 filed by a different company back in January.

This contractor claims they did get paid a little along the way and the $15k represents the unpaid balance -- but says a lawsuit for another $50k in damages could be in the offing.

French Montana paid $40k to rent out a secluded LA home for the month of July, but now the owner only wants to sell so it will set you back $5.3 mil.

The modern 6-bedroom mansion sits in the gated Los Feliz community of Laughlin Park -- where Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman have lived. The place looks like it's straight out of "Miami Vice" (the remake) ... with an ultramodern, all white, open air architecture.

There's a pool, a spa, and a home theater ... but the real selling point is the insane jetliner view of the city.

It's also photo shoot ready ... just ask Frenchie.

Tyga needs to just move in with Kylie Jenner already, because he's been ordered to fork over $70,000 in back rent on a house in her gated community -- a pad he claims he's actually buying.

Tyga's gone to war over the Calabasas home -- just a few minutes from Kylie's -- and on Monday a judge ruled he had stiffed the landlord. Even with $70k on the line, Tyga didn't even bother showing up in court ... possibly because he says he's no renter.

Last week he filed suit against the landlord, saying he has an agreement to buy the property, and even plunked down $200,000 as a down payment. Until that's settled, the bottom line is ... he's gotta pay up AND move out.

The good news -- as of 2 weeks ago he can bunk up with KJ. Legally.
