Petra Ecclestone's feeling lucky after the Playboy Mansion sold for $100 mil -- she's selling Spelling Manor again for double that, and she thinks she can get it ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the Formula One heiress tell us Petra recently listed the Manor for the second time in 2 years for a whopping $200 million ... all because of what Hugh Hefner fetched for his famous crib this summer.

You'll recall ... the Playboy Mansion was sold in August to Hef's next door neighbor after a long back and forth. The final price tag was $100 mil ... and that place is WAY smaller than the Manor, which boasts 14 bedrooms, 27 baths and 56,500 square feet of space.

We're told Petra feels the real estate market is hot right now, and thinks she can flip a $115 million profit ... unlike last time.

With the help of realtors like Rick Hilton and David Kramer, here's to hoping she can.

Angelina Jolie's decided Malibu is the key to keeping her kids out of the media circus surrounding her bitter divorce from Brad Pitt.

Despite reports she's moving into Denise Richards' old Hidden Hills crib ... we're told her team is actually searching for another Malibu rental -- one more spacious and safe than the one where she's currently living.

We're told Angie likes the seclusion of Malibu. Translation: removed from Hollywood -- and the plan is to have multiple rentals there to keep photogs off the trail of her and the kids. As for a permanent home ... we're told that's up in the air while she and Brad hammer out their property split.

As we previously reported, Angie's already renting a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom Malibu estate with killer ocean views.

10:07 AM PT -- Azria's attorney, Marty Singer, tells TMZ: "The lawsuit filed against Max Azria is a bogus lawsuit by a foreign billionaire couple who used a British Virgin Islands entity as the tenant. During the entire 3 month rental, the tenants never made any complaints of rats, dog feces or the other claims. In fact, they remained in the house for the entire lease period, hardly the behavior of a tenant who disliked the house. The tenants made major changes to the house, without the landlord’s consent, to accommodate their personal tastes."

He adds, "My client intends to sue the tenants for damages they caused to the property and we are confident we will prevail in this action."

Famed BCBG founder Max Azria promised to serve up grand amenities in a mansion, but instead delivered a colony of rats, dog poop and more -- so claims a former tenant in a lawsuit.

A company called Tres Hollywood brokered a lease for a client, who says she found a disaster zone when she moved into the designer's 17 bedroom, 22 bath Bel-Air estate -- for a whopping $500k a month, mind you. Plus $500k deposit!

Tres says it was overrun with rats and ants. Throw in mold, non-working toilets, no hot water and broken appliances -- according to docs -- and suddenly the dog feces and urine stench might not seem so bad.

Tres says Azria refuses to return the deposit on the place, which is currently listed for $88 million. It's suing for the $500k plus repair costs and penalties -- all told they want more than $1 million.

We've reached out to Azria, so far no word back.

Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jill, are back together, and their first order of business -- dumping the pad Jill bought when they were on the verge of divorce.

Jill swooped the 2 story Pacific Palisades home last summer for $6.1 million -- when she and Patrick were in the throes of the breakup -- and now she's unloaded it for $7.575 mil. The deal closed on Tuesday.

Pretty sweet temporary housing for Jill -- 5 beds, 5 baths with 6,135 square feet of space, and a full extra guest house out back. Not to mention pool and spa, cathedral ceilings and its own library.

Now she's passed on all that luxury -- because of her agents, Brett Lawyer and Barbara Boyle -- to continue life with Dr. McDreamy. The tidy profit doesn't hurt either.

Model Damaris Lewis -- who was a Prince backup dancer -- wants the opening of his museum to be pushed back out of respect for those who are still mourning ... like herself.

Damaris was one of Prince's muses in his final months and says she's not against the Paisley Park Museum altogether because she believes Prince's legacy needs to be honored. Her issue is timing.

She kinda got her wish. Paisley Park's gates were originally set to swing open to the public Tuesday, but the local city council put the kibosh on it out of fears Chanhassen, MN would be overrun with tourists. The council's now granted temporary approval for limited tours.

1:21 PM PT -- Johnny is denying EVERYTHING ... telling TMZ Sports the allegations are bogus.

"I never rented a house in the hills," Manziel says.

"I've been staying with a friend when I've been in L.A. which, as of late, has not been much. This guy is upset with a friend of mine and dragging me into it."

Johnny Manziel is accused of trashing one of the most famous homes in the Hollywood Hills -- with the owner telling TMZ Sports the ex-QB has turned it into "the worst frat house you've ever seen."

Here's the deal ... celebrity real estate magnate Danny Fitzgerald says he rented his legendary Weidlake mansion out to a guy named Bryan Chase back in July -- only to learn Johnny and his pal, OVO Ryan, moved in too.

FYI, the property has been used in TONS of TV shows including "American Idol" -- and has been rented by huge stars like The Weeknd and Ne-Yo (who Fitzgerald described as "great" tenants).

Fitzgerald says Johnny had been footing the bills -- paying the $25,000 per month rent and all of the utilities with checks with his name on it. But he's several days past due on the October rent so Fitzgerald sent him a pay or get out notice.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg -- Fitzgerald says the guys have been raising hell in the home and pissing off the neighbors.

In fact, Fitzgerald says the cops have been to the home several times to deal with raging parties.

Plus, Fitzgerald says the home has been trashed ... with more than $180k in damages to windows, doors and more.

"It's like this is a movie about a frat house ... but the worst frat house you have ever seen. It's like Charles Manson is living here."

Fitzgerald says he plans to sue.

We reached out to Manziel for comment -- so far, no word back.

Cam Newton raged WAYYY too hard in the Bev Hills mansion he rented after the Super Bowl -- throwing crazy parties and causing nearly $100k in damage ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Kylie Jenner is becoming quite the real estate aficionado ... because she just threw down millions on yet ANOTHER new mansion.

The $12 million, 13k square foot house in Hidden Hills comes equipped with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a gigantic pool and outdoor living space.

Kylie's been swooping up properties left and right in the last year ... the latest purchase is her fourth. Our sources say the 19-year-old -- yes, 19 -- has already moved in and plans on making this one her permanent residence.

You'll remember ... Kylie's starter home was a modest $2.7 mil crib when she bought when she was 17. Then she moved on to a $6 mil place near Kim and Kanye before plunking down $4.5 mil on a home used for guests and as a work space for her cosmetics line.

We reached out to Kylie's agent Tomer Fridman who wasn't available for comment.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are taking a huge step in their 33 year relationship ... but it's not THAT huge step -- they're just selling their mansion for a cool $7.25 mil.

The famously unmarried Hollywood couple's 6,389 square foot house comes with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a lush yard, guest suite and humongous pool and spa.

Tinder's CEO is on the move when it comes to business, but in his personal life he's clearly angling to settle down ... at least that's what it looks like given his latest big purchase.

Sean Rad plunked down $7.65 million for a 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom crib in WeHo that screams, "I'm starting a family!"

It's way different from the L.A. bachelor penthouse he just unloaded.

Tinder's CEO is looking to find a match with someone in the market for a new home ... who can swipe it right off his hands for a cool $9 mil.

Sean Rad just listed his 3 bed, 5 bath L.A. penthouse for $8.995 million, and if he gets his price, he stands to gain almost a $1.5 mil profit.

As for the crib ... it's the ultimate bachelor pad you'd expect from the guy who co-founded Tinder. At 5,283 square feet -- and perched high up on the 23rd floor -- the home features floor-to-ceiling windows and a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains and city below.

Leonardo DiCaprio's in a selling mood ... cause just days after listing his Malibu oasis he's now listing his Studio City, CA crib.

To be clear ... Leo lives in the Hollywood Hills -- like a true rich and famous bachelor. This pad in the San Fernando Valley is just one of many in his portfolio.

Leo's asking $2.395 million for the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom pad. He originally bought it in 2014, and if he gets his price, he could rake in as much as $345k.

Once Kim Kardashian and Kanye West settle into their renovated Hidden Hills home ... they'll never have to leave, not even for a haircut or a movie.

The couple is a few months out from moving into their 5-acre compound. The unfinished business ... a last-minute decision to expand the master suite ... and clearly some major landscaping.

We're told the home will have a 2-story playroom, gigantic gym, basketball court, hair salon, full spa with facial and massage room, and a music studio for Kanye. There's even a FULL-SIZE movie theater with a Dolby sound system.

The mother of NFL star Antonio Cromartie has moved out of the house he bought her back in 2007 and then tried to evict her from ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, Cromartie attempted to kick his mom, Cassandra Wilkerson, out in August after she refused to start paying the $700/month mortgage payments, 'cause she thought the house was a gift.

We spoke to Wilkerson, who tells us she and her husband weren't successfully evicted, but decided to get the hell out of Dodge -- and bought their own house on September 16th.

She says she hasn't spoken to Antonio in two months because of the house disagreement and "doesn't understand why he's so vindictive" toward her.

We reached out to Cromartie, but he had no comment.

Lady Gaga's gonna be cutting tracks inside Frank Zappa's old L.A. crib, which she just purchased for $5.25 million.

The Hollywood Hills tudor hit the market in June for the first time in about 40 years. Frank purchased the 7 bedroom, 6 bath home in the '70s and it remained in the family till his wife, Gail, passed away.

Gaga was likely drawn to the 6,759 square foot home because of its recording studio, which Frank famously christened the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.

There's also a relaxation/massage room, pool, and plenty of room for guests or collaborators to shack up. The property has TWO guesthouses, plus a one bedroom apartment.

The owners of the Boulder house where JonBenet Ramsey was killed told documentary producers to take a hike when they literally tried to return to the scene of the crime.

Carol Schuller Milner and her husband currently live in the home, and she tells TMZ ... a production company contacted them months ago asking to lease their house. She says they immediately turned them down ... saying they had NO interest in dredging up horrific memories.

If you saw CBS' special, "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey" ... you noticed producers had to build replica rooms, because they had zero access to the real deal.

Even if the Milners had played ball ... Carol says they made major renovations 10 years ago, which included the basement. She says it wasn't because they were creeped out -- they'd already been there for 2 years -- it was just time for a makeover.

Carol says they didn't watch the documentary, and they've always separated the JonBenet tragedy from their home.
