Prince Estate You Canceled Our Party ... Fork Over $348k!!
Prince's estate is a total party pooper after canceling a sold-out fundraiser at Paisley Park ... now party organizers say they're out hundreds of thousands of dollars and want their due ... this according to a new claim against the late singer's estate.
Bremer Trust -- which handles Prince's estate -- canceled the Mixed Blood Theatre's 40th Anniversary Gala that was to be held at the compound almost a month after Prince's sudden death. The theatre claims it's out $348,258 as a result.
According to the docs ... the theatre's losses are partly based on tickets and sponsorship that had to be refunded. About 1,000 people were reportedly expected to attend the event.
We've reached out to Bremer Trust, so far no word back.

Lil Wayne I'm Out of This Mother****** Whether It Sells Or Not!
Lil Wayne's latest home 911 swatting incident was the last straw -- he's packing his bags and going inland.
Sources close to Weezy tell TMZ the rapper is beside himself over last week's police invasion into his home ... resulting in the rapper getting hooked up by cops.
Wayne's been trying to sell the mansion on a fancy schmancy, super exclusive island, but he hasn't gotten any serious bites for a year. Wanye was willing to stay while he tried selling the joint, but now he just wants out and will let it sit until a buyer comes along with the appropriate amount of cash.
He's had nothing but problems since moving in. He was a swatting victim back in March 2015 and he's had all sorts of issues with people ogling his estate from the water and snapping pics.
In case you're interested in helping Wayne out, he has it listed for $18 million. He bought it for just over $12 mil in 2006.

Chris Brown Party House Closed ... No More Randoms!
Chris Brown is done hosting frat house parties ... blaming his male friends and thirsty chicks for his recent arrest.
Our Chris sources tell us he's now enforcing a strict guest policy at his Calabasas mansion -- and letting everyone in his crew know he's as serious as death ... no more randoms allowed.
We told he's pulling back on parties for starters, but there's this problem with his 2 roommates/best friends. They now have to submit a guest list to Chris IN WRITING, and they must describe who they are with sufficient details so he can decide whether he wants them in his home.
We're told he also is imposing another strict policy ... guests are prohibited from bringing drugs or alcohol. The only booze and drugs allowed are his.

Rob Zombie New Crib's Big Enough For 1,000 Corpses
Rob Zombie and his new Hollywood Hills pad go hand-in-hand because they're both full of heavy metal.
TMZ has learned ... Rob threw down $2.49 million for a mid-century hideaway that looks like it was built just for him.
It's 2,300 square feet, but only has 2 rooms and 2 baths. While the place is dark, there are plenty of un-Zombie like features ... like a koi pond, pool and outdoor patio.
Check out the gallery 'cause you gotta see the giant adorable French bulldog painting ... which we're guessing Rob will be ditching real quick. Seems like more of a pit bull guy.

Paris Jackson's alone and in charge ... living in the back guesthouse at Michael's old Encino mansion.
Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Paris had been itching to cut the cord from living with her grandmother in Calabasas ... where Blanket and several of her cousins also live. We're told the family had security concerns about her living just anywhere, so it was suggested she use MJ's old compound.
Michael's estate controls all of his properties, meaning ... technically, Paris needed permission to live there. We're told she went to them, and pointed out she basically owns the crib as part of her trust -- and the estate didn't fight her.
As for why she's in the guesthouse -- the main house is being remodeled.
We're also told Paris is living there completely on her own. She and bf Michael Snoddy recently posted pics from the backyard -- he comes and goes, but does NOT live there.

Perse bought the 6 bedroom, 6 bath Point Dume home back in 2013 for $6.69 million and it's not hard to see he put a bunch of personal touches on the place. The 7,400 sq ft home now looks like walking into one of his stores ... it's pretty awesome.
There's a pool, fire pit and a lot of outdoor space on nearly 2 acres of land ... one of the largest plots in the area. It's a 5 minute walk to the water.
Perse listed the home with real estate agent Lily Harfouche in June and it closed this week. Aileen Getty, one of the J. Paul Getty heirs, now calls it home.

That's living The-Dream.

"Chris Brown, you gotta move," Young says with choppers still flying overhead ... "Go on, get away from here!"
Young says Brown is essentially "making the block hot" -- attracting way too much police attention and he's worried the trouble is going to spill over his way.
"There's really only two of us [black people] over here ... at this rate you gonna make it one."
"Please, I like you, man. You my dawg. We go out, but you go out away from over here ... go!"

Mel Gibson Selling Oksana's $2.575 Million Crash Pad

Mel's selling the 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath pad for $2.575 million. The 3,468 square foot home hit the market Thursday. It's a Frank Lloyd Wright knock-off -- modern architecture with a bunch of stone features and stained glass. No pool though.
As we previously reported ... Mel agreed to give Oksana just under $30k in child support each month for their 6-year-old daughter, Lucia, IF Oksana agreed to move out of the rental.

Prince Tour Paisley Park Courtesy of Elvis Presley
Prince's home is now the domain of the King -- as in Elvis Presley's people running tours at Paisley Park.
The bank that manages Prince's estate -- Bremer Trust -- just announced the deal that puts the people who run Graceland in charge of public tours, which are set to begin in October.
Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, is reportedly on board with the Elvis plan, but sources close to the heirs tell TMZ not everyone in the family agrees.
We're told the dissenting family members objected, in part, because Graceland Holdings has previously had financial problems. As it stands, team Elvis would get 50% of revenue generated by Paisley Park tours.
We're told Bremer's currently negotiating with the family in hopes of getting everyone on board, but that's more for PR purposes. Fact is, the tours are going to happen ... but it seems the bank just wants to make sure Prince family members don't publicly bad mouth the deal.

Slash Cuts Bev Hills Pad by $1.5 Mil
Slash is hoping a fresh coat of paint and a substantially lower asking price will finally attract a buyer for his Beverly Hills mansion.
The GNR guitarist just relisted his Mulholland Estates home for $9.5 million ... about $1.5 million off the original listing for the 7 bedroom, 9 bath home. Slash put it on the market more than a year ago, after he and his wife of 13 years, Perla, filed for divorce.
The 11k sq. foot home has been stripped of most of its rock 'n' roll qualities, but a stripper pole remains ... key selling point, no doubt. Looks like the backyard skate ramp's also been replaced by a beach volleyball court.
Slash and Perla bought the mansion in 2009 for $7.3 million.

Keshia Knight Pulliam's Husband Georgia Fire Sale Days After Filing for Divorce
Ed Hartwell curiously unloaded his Georgia mansion for an enormous loss just two days after blindsiding Keshia Knight Pulliam with divorce papers.
We've learned Hartwell sold the 6 bedroom, 8,000 square foot home for $690k ... he'd had it on and off the market since 2012 before finally selling late last month. Ed originally bought the house for $1.268 mil in 2005 ... so he lost around $580k on the property.
The timing of the sale is interesting ... Ed owned the home well before he and Keshia got married, so it's his property regardless. As for why the fire sale ... no one's talking, but you gotta wonder if he's bracing for lots of legal expenses.
As TMZ reported -- the two are currently locked in a bitter court battle ... which includes nasty paternity issues and claims of emotional abuse.

The guy who's trying to dump Neverland Ranch from his books just got dumped himself ... his wife is calling it quits.
Thomas Barrack got slapped with divorce docs. His wife, Rachelle, cites the usual irreconcilable differences for walking away from their two-year marriage. She's asking for physical custody of their kids -- ages 5 and 2 -- plus spousal support.
Here's the kicker -- they still need to hash out who gets what ... potentially Neverland Ranch itself, if it doesn't sell.
They could just split the rides and the zoo animals down the middle ... but something tells us that would get messy.

Eddie Cibrian Ditches Last Trace of Brandi Glanville
Eddie Cibrian is washing his hands clean of ex Brandi Glanville by getting rid of their L.A. starter home.
Eddie got $635k for the 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse in Toluca Lake, CA. He'd originally listed it for $100k more than that back in February -- but we're guessing LeAnn Rimes is just thrilled to unload the tie to his ex.
Eddie and Brandi shared the pad in happier times ... aka before the bitter divorce.
The pad is 1,800 square feet with a rooftop patio overlooking the Hollywood Hills. Alex Galuz of Crescent Realty Corp closed the deal for Eddie.
