Celebrity Homes

Mary Tyler Moore's death has created a big problem for a real estate company that is trying to sell the house used in her iconic TV show -- how do you sell it without creating a fan frenzy?

The exteriors of the house were featured for years on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," although interiors were shot on a Hollywood soundstage.

Get this ... the house, listed by Barry Berg and Chad Larsen with Berg Larsen Group of Coldwell Banker Burnet, went on the market 4 years ago and no one was biting. The people who bought it paid nearly $3 mil but they're trying to unload it for a skosh under $1.7 mil.

Here's the problem. MTM is an institution in Minneapolis, and Mary's death has people in the city scrambling for memories. The realtors want to hold an open house this weekend, but they don't want lookie-loos ... they want serious buyers.

So, the plan now is to discreetly tell realtors to bring clients and then quietly invite them.

Good luck.

Trump Tower has been a swarm of activity in the last 3 months, and it's triggered some sales and some angst over the staple of NYC -- food deliveries.

We've learned 5 apartments have been listed for sale and 3 apartments have been put up for lease this month alone. Realtors who rep units in the building tell us these numbers are high for a single month. Granted there are 238 units in the building, but 8 in one month is eyebrow-raising.

Trump's rise to the presidency has been a mixed bag for residents. The positive ... the building has enormous marquee value, and most realtors believe that makes it an even better investment over time. It's also become super secure, with the help of Secret Service.

But some residents are upset for several reasons. They say they get stopped by security all the time. And especially annoying ... it's an ordeal for guests who visit homeowners ... the security process is intense.

Worst of all, say some residents ... New York is a delivery town, from food to dry cleaning. The delivery people get frisked and bags get opened. We're told it sometimes takes 30 minutes for the items to make their way up.

And some residents say the barricades outside the building are an eyesore, and it's hard to walk anywhere around the building.

Security has eased a little since Trump moved to D.C., but there's still a heavy presence since Melania and Barron will be there full-time until June. Residents are hoping things get back to some sense of normalcy after that.

Clint Eastwood's Pebble Beach home is up for sale ... and rich folks looking to buy could score an iconic bonus.

Clint's 6 bed, 6,900 sq. ft mansion perched on an ocean bluff is on the market for $9.75 mil, and guess what's in the courtyard ... the Bird Girl statue featured in his 1997 flick, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

We're told Clint is willing to throw in the statue ... for the right price, of course.

The house was built in 1928 and even has a name -- Hacienda Este Madera, which roughly translates to "House East Wood."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West seem to be focused on finally finishing their mansion, and all we can say is ... it's about time.

As we reported ... 'Ye was going wild with more construction last month -- knocking down an entire wall to expand the master bedroom -- but new photos of the Hidden Hills, CA pad show it's all coming together. All 20,000 sq. ft and more of it.

It's still unclear if the couple has a completion date in mind, but recent L.A. rainstorms definitely delayed progress even more.

Still, considering Kim and Kanye bought the 8 bed, 10 bath palace in August 2014 -- and have been renovating ever since -- anything close to ready is a huge victory.

Ivanka Trump and Barack Obama have lots of differences, but together they have turned a D.C. neighborhood upside down, creating a real estate boom.

Realtors in the Georgetown-adjacent neighborhood where Trump and Obama are now renting tell us there has been an explosion of interest from buyers and renters since moving boxes started appearing.

One realtor tells us in the 26 years of doing business in the Kalorama Heights neighborhood, he's never seen this level of interest.

One home was just listed for $7.9 mil -- a HUGE asking price -- and there have already been 4 showings in just 3 days.

Our real estate sources also say realtors have been name-dropping Trump and Obama for virtually every showing.

As they say, Location, Location, Obama, Trump.

Teresa and Joe Giudice's former home is officially history ... actually it's really just dust now.

The pad that was once featured on 'RHNJ' has been demolished, just as the new owners promised it would be. It came down Friday and the next step is to sell the lot, we're told.

As we first told you, the new owners -- who want to remain anonymous -- made out when the Giudices went belly-up ... snatching up the pad in August for $127k.

Joe and Teresa bought it for $347k in 2005 but lost it to foreclosure during all their legal problems.

Buh-bye to the bad juju?

President Obama will stay at the Palm Springs home of one of his ambassadors ... TMZ has learned.

The Obamas will be unpacking their suitcases late Friday at the abode of outgoing US ambassador to Spain James Costos and his husband -- an interior designer -- Michael Smith, who's been the WH's decorator since '08.

The house is in Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs, inside the Thunderbird Heights gated community ... perched at the top of the development and spread over 8 acres. It's been completely gutted and renovated since 2011 ... and looks brand spanking new.

The Obamas have stayed at James and Michael's home 4 times prior to this visit.

There will be lots of restrictions for anyone coming in or out of the property. Security wants to keep the number of people to a minimum at entry ... they'll be checking IDs too.

Even when Obama's out ... he's still getting the presidential treatment.

Mother's Day came in January for Karl Joseph's mom ... the Oakland Raiders rookie safety just bought her a brand new house in Florida ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The 14th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft was laser-focused on hookin' up his mom with something nice after he signed a 4-year $12 million deal ... and pulled the trigger when he found her dream home.

We spoke with Karl's agent, Chafie Fields, who tells us the home is in central Florida where he grew up after the family moved to the U.S. from Haiti.

"He comes from very humble beginnings," Fields says ... "Ultimately, his goal was being able to provide for his mom."

"He didn't want to buy himself a car. Didn't want to buy himself a house. He wanted to get his mom a house."

Fields says his team helped with the house hunt but ultimately Karl made the final call -- "He wanted to see the house for himself, so that's why we waited until after the season."

"He has brothers and sisters that still live at home. He wanted to do this for all of them."

The president and his family are just like us ... schlepping boxes when you move from one house to another.

The Obamas are packin' up and moving boxes from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to their new rental digs near Georgetown.

They've got some art (no, not like the portrait of George Washington) and other stuff.

Jan. 16, 2017 -- Reps for Soulja Boy tell us Soulja's business partner is the person who leased the house, NOT Soulja, and the rapper has no obligation to pay the landlord a cent.

Soulja Boy's not only in the market for some serious boxing lessons, he could soon be looking for a new place to live ... because he's WAY behind on rent.

Soulja leased a pad in the Hollywood Hills 3 months ago for $6k a month. His landlord tells us he's already $6k behind and counting. The landlord says when he demands rent he gets blown off.

Since he moved in, the house has been a target for trouble. Cops arrested him there last month after he violated his probation ... and earlier this week the place was burglarized.

The landlord tells us he's had it with Soulja, and if he doesn't pay up by week's end, the legal guns come out.

Robbie Williams' homes are like his records ... they make millions for him.

The British pop star just sold his stunning hilltop L.A. estate for $9.9 million to DJ Khaled.

Williams originally purchased the 10,000 square foot, 7 bedroom home for $5.45 million 15 years ago and listed it for $11 mil, so going down on the asking price didn't exactly hurt his pockets.

The mansion -- in the celeb-heavy and gated Mulholland Estates -- is move-in ready with all-white interiors and immaculate bathrooms ... 11 of them, including a Moroccan themed master.

There's also a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, views for days and an elevator accessing all 4 floors.

Robbie's already got another roof over his head. He purchased a $32 million pad in Beverly Hills a year ago.

President Obama is taking a cue from Donald Trump ... he's building himself a wall.

We got photos of construction at Obama's soon-to-be D.C. rental. You also see construction in the garage. As we reported, it will become an office with a bathroom.

We broke the story ... the rental will be home until Sasha graduates so the Obamas needed the property outfitted for the Secret Service and ... it needed more fortification.

BTW ... he's getting a new neighbor. Ivanka Trump and fam are moving nearby to a rental.

At least the landlords know the checks will clear.

Rob Kardashian's parting ways with his home in the family compound ... another sign he's back with Blac Chyna and done with the bachelor life.

The pad's 4,256 sq ft with 4 bedrooms in the gated Oaks neighborhood where most of his sisters live. Rob just bought it last February for $2.285 mil ... so it'll be a decent payday if he gets his asking price.

As TMZ reported ... Rob and Blac Chyna started renting one of Kylie's cribs last month, so it certainly seems like he's happy with that for now. We reached out to Rob's real estate agent, Tomer Fridman, but haven't heard back.

You know you're rich when ... you just DOWNGRADED to a $5 million beach pad.

That's what L.A. Clippers superstar DeAndre Jordan just did -- the same day he sold his $11.75 million Pacific Palisades mansion, he scooped up another beach pad for more than half the price.

Jordan's new spot ain't too shabby ... a 4,600 square foot home with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in a private guard-gated community.

Movie theater? Check. Swimming pool? Yeah. Guest suite? He's got that too.

It's not like he can't afford the bigger spot -- DJ's in the middle of an $87 MILLION contract.

Enjoy the new digs!

Chloe Grace Moretz isn't riding into the sunset, but she is getting some killer snow-packed mountain views for the holidays instead.

Chloe and her family hit up Telluride and they're chilling in this stunning Airbnb rental ... hooked up by the company.

The 4 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom pad has postcard perfect scenery outside just about every room ... and access to a 13 mile cross country ski course -- if you're into exercising as much as relaxing.

We're told the fam's been camped out there just over two weeks now.

And

Bethenny Frankel got screwed in her divorce -- once by her ex-husband and once by her own lawyers -- so she claims in a new lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, back in 2011, Bethenny bought a Manhattan condo for $5 million. Jason Hoppy, her hubby at the time, suggested she put the property in a trust. She claims she wanted it held in her name alone, but went along with the trust idea and they had their lawyers draft the document.

Bethenny claims, after divorce papers were filed -- to her horror -- she discovered the trust gave Jason a 50% interest in the condo. What's more, he had the right to live there and not pay a penny in rent.

Bethenny claims the snafu made the divorce super messy and it took 3 years to resolve.
