Former Laker Devean George's dream of providing affordable housing to the masses is a reality ... and now he wants a little help from the biggest Laker of all, Magic Johnson, to keep the train rolling.

George was at LAX when we asked about the housing development he was working on for low-income families in north Minnesota.

Devean first told us he was planning the project when we shot him back in 2013 ... and now he tells us it's all finished.

But that's not all he tells us ... 'cause now that everything's up and running George says he thinks he can take things to the next level by adding a little Magic (Johnson) to his project.

Check out the clip -- George makes an offer to Magic ... and it looks pretty sincere to us.

Never bad to add an extra $500 million to your project right?

The only thing Mischa Barton wants more than the "Dancing with the Stars" trophy is for someone to finally buy the Tuscan-style villa she's been trying to dump for 6 years.

The new 'DWTS' hopeful is listing her 7-bedroom, 10-bath home for $7.495 million. Her 7,600 square ft property sits inside a gated community atop Coldwater Canyon with views of Catalina Island from its rooftop decks.

Mischa tried unloading the home before in 2010 for $8.6 mill, but there were no takers so she listed it as a rental for $35k/month.

Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky's up for grabs Malibu home will give you a pretty good idea of how Thor packed on the muscle.

They've listed their 5-bedroom, 6-bath crib for $6.5 mil ... which isn't ON the water in the 'Bu but does have views of the Pacific and lots of privacy. Chris also converted the 3-car garage into a gym.

Elsa and Chris are only ditching the beautiful home because they moved back to his native Australia with their 3 kids.

Michael C. Hall just made a cool mil off the Spanish colonial home he owned for barely 3 years.

The "Dexter" star listed his 6 bedroom, 6 bath home for $4.85 million in February and it sold almost instantly ... and once you see the place you'll understand why.

The 5,618 sq foot pad sits on a hillside in a sought after part of the Los Feliz 'hood ... not far from L.A.'s Griffith Park.

There's a pool, a separate guest house and a 3 car garage. The home's interior has been updated, but still has arched windows and wood-beamed ceilings.

Ariadne Getty, one of J. Paul Getty's grandchildren and an heir to his $5 billion oil empire, has listed her hotel apartment for a whopping $23.5 million!

The 5,670 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 5 bath condo sits atop the Montage in Bev Hills and takes up an entire wing on the 7th floor. The apartment -- listed by Brett Lawyer of Hilton & Hyland -- has terraces on three sides for 360 degree views of L.A.

The hotel sits on prime real estate -- near Wilshire and Canon -- so the pricing may have a lot to do with location, location, location. There are perks ... it's walking distance to Spago and The Palm!!!

Johnny Galecki just scored a bundle in the sale of his Hollywood Hills home after a dozen people did battle in an epic bidding war.

Galecki's home was listed for $1.995 million, but our sources say it sold for $2.5 mil when offer after offer poured in. Johnny's mega-realtor Brett Lawyer from Hilton & Hyland fielded the offers on his behalf.

The house has some serious celebrity ties ... Johnny bought it from Patrick Dempsey. The neighbors are also famous ... among them Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz.

BTW ... Galecki's buyers are pretty famous too -- Yahoo! Style honcho Joe Zee and designer Rob Younkers made the deal with their realtor, Christopher Westley, of Compass.

Celine Dion is looking to sell and sell quickly -- she's slashed the asking price on her resort-like home on Jupiter Island, Florida ... to $45.5 million!

Yeah, ya still gotta break the bank to buy it, but the price is now a whopping $30 million less than Celine's original price when she first put it on the market in 2013 ... shortly after her husband, Rene Angelil, was diagnosed with cancer.

We're told Celine and Rene discussed unloading the home before his death ... and she's now planning to live full-time in Las Vegas to do her Caesars Palace show, and because her kids are comfortable there.

The 5.5 acre Florida estate has 3 pools -- one with a fire pit in the middle of it, and another with a water park and lazy river. The home itself is 10,000 square feet with 5 bedrooms, but there are also 2 guest houses (4 bedrooms each) ... as well as a tennis court and a simulated golf range.

50 Cent can smell the $8 million he'll get for selling his Connecticut mansion, but there are still a few hurdles before he can get it.

As we reported ... 50's landed a buyer for the sprawling 21 bedroom, 25 bath home -- and that buyer intends to turn the estate into an assisted living facility. However, according to the docs ... the sale is contingent upon a couple things.

First, the buyer has to get zoning approval to convert the crib into a retirement home ... and also, the bankruptcy judge has to approve the whole deal.

Fiddy's lawyers want to close on April 29, so everyone's got about 2 months to get their ducks in a row -- and get that money for 50 Cent. Or rather, his creditors.

50 Cent's massive estate in Farmington, Connecticut has finally found a buyer and they're planning on turning the sprawling 52-room home into an assisted living facility.

TMZ has learned the home sold for $8 million ... $10.5 million less than 50's original listing price almost a decade ago.

50 first put the 21-bedroom, 25-bath estate on the market in 2007 for $18.5 million. The price was reduced several more times in the following years.

The 50k square foot home had been a huge financial burden for the bankrupt 50, costing around $70k per month to maintain since there's also 9 kitchens, an outdoor infinity pool and grotto, indoor pool, helicopter pad, casino, nightclub, basketball courts and pond.

It's resort-like amenities sound like a perfect fit for the buyer who is modifying zoning so it can be converted into the old folks home pending the town's approval.

Jennifer Lopez is on the hunt for a new house, and she's clearly ready to open the bank vault.

Our real estate spies tell us, J Lo went house shopping over the weekend in Bev Hills and Bel Air, looking for cribs in the $20 million range.

Check out the estate (above) owned by movie producer Frank Mancuso, Jr., whose dad ran both Paramount and MGM. We're told J Lo breezed through this property -- listed at a cool $22.9 mil -- along with several others, but isn't jumping to make an offer. She's still looking.

The Mancuso property isn't a bad choice -- it's a 14,000 square foot home on 3.5 acres in Bev Hills, behind gates with neighbors including Channing Tatum, Demi Moore and Harry Styles.

Ashley Benson's pretty little Hollywood Hills house -- which ain't really all that little -- is now on the market for nearly $3 million!

TMZ has learned the "Pretty Little Liars" star listed her 3,085 sq. ft. French Normandy style pad with Hilton & Hyland, the same real estate group listing the Playboy mansion.

Ashley's 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath crib is just above the Sunset strip and contains an updated kitchen, pool & spa, wood paneled library and fireplace with a tiled hearth.

Ex-Playboy Playmate Holly Madison is opening her doors and inviting you into her home -- if you've got enough dough to cover the rent.

TMZ has learned the centerfold is renting out her Beachwood Canyon home in the Hollywood Hills for $7,500 per month. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath pad has awesome city and canyon views ... and guest quarters under the main residence.

Holly decided to rent -- through realtor Jon Grauman at The Agency -- since she and her husband, Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella ... are now living in schmancy Hancock Park.

Kim Cattrall is pissed about a reckless teenage driver ... who smashed into her house.

Kim posted the crazy pics outside her Vancouver Island, BC home, saying, "A senseless 16 yr old driver plowed into my home Joy Riding @ 1 am. People cld have been killed. U should b ashamed."

The "Sex and the City" actress also tweeted the pics to MADD.

According to Kim, four people, including the driver and her friends could have been hurt during Tuesday morning's crash, but amazingly no one was injured. As Kim put it, the driver is "home free to drive around today."

A local report says cops are investigating.

Nicole Scherzinger just spent some of her 'X Factor' and Pussycat Dolls money on a $3.7 million Hollywood Hills bachelorette pad which has some of the best views in L.A.

The 4 bedroom contemporary is 4,200 sq ft across 4 floors. It has a wine and cigar cellar and home theater. No pool, but there's an outdoor spa which overlooks some sweeping views from downtown L.A. to the blue Pacific.

We're told the asking price was a little under $4 million, but Nicole's realtor Rami Elminoufi was able to get it down. Jason Oppenheim served as the listing agent.

Neverland Ranch is up for sale in a complicated deal that still has ties to Michael Jackson.

The Ranch is on the market for $100 million, and the seller, Colony Capital, has posted a YouTube video to entice prospective buyers.

It's interesting ... Colony Capital was involved with MJ in the last years of his life, bailing the singer out when he was about to lose the ranch. Colony essentially excused the massive debt Michael owed on the property and took title. The company is in the hole, we're told, to the tune of around $70 million.

If and when the property sells, the Michael Jackson Estate could get some of the profit ... a portion in excess of what Colony Capital invested.

Rob Kardashian can have all the sleepovers and home workouts he wants with Blac Chyna now -- he just got his own house, but his sisters are still within shouting distance.

TMZ has learned Rob bought a 4,256 sq. ft crib in Calabasas within the gated Oaks neighborhood. Our sources tell us he scored the 4 bedroom pad for $2.285 million. Kris Jenner helped out with the purchase, which is under the family trust, and it closed a week ago.

The Kardashians have quite the compound going -- Rob, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and even Lamar ... all live within a few blocks of each other. Mom and Kim are up the road in pricier Hidden Hills homes.

One selling point for Rob -- the kitchen has a huge center island and breakfast nook, just in case he and BC want to recreate that scene Khloe walked in on last month.

We reached out to the 2 biggest realtors in the area -- Tomer Fridman from Sotheby's and Emil Hartoonian at The Agency -- but neither was available for comment.
