'RHONY' Star Sonja Morgan Listing Townhouse ... Take SEVEN!
Sonja Morgan isn't giving up on selling her NYC home, 'cause if it at first you don't succeed ... get that sucker back on the market!
Real estate sources tell TMZ the 'RHONY' star just privately listed her notorious 5 story Manhattan home and is looking to pocket $10 mil for the sale.
Also worth noting: this is at least her 7th time listing it, each time for about the same price.
If she can get someone to take the place off her hands, the buyer will score 5 beds, 7 baths and a ton of modern-day luxury -- like its own elevator, a sauna, gym and an irrigated terrace. Pretty good for a crib built in 1899.
We're told Sonja is looking to stay in New York -- specifically the Upper East Side -- but won't leave 'til someone bites. She's listing through Jordan Sachs of Bold New York.

Amber Portwood was on the verge of getting booted out of her home, and even though she's settled the financial battle ... she's pissed the owner of the place smeared her good name.

Kisby Enterprises admitted to us ... there was an "unfortunate misunderstanding" and it now intends to withdraw the eviction filing. Amber and Matt say the damage has been done to their reputations, and she has a theory on why Kisby even attempted to push them out.
Britney Spears Valentine's Getaway In the 'Bu with New BF
Britney Spears and bf Sam Asghari had an early Valentine's Day celebration ... chilling in a seaside Malibu villa worth $30 million!
The 5 bedroom, 6 bath palace has amazing ocean views, which Brit's been enjoying since she wrapped her latest Vegas dates. The pad has 2 master bedrooms, theater room, gym ... and of course, a gorgeous pool and hot tub -- standard issue in the 'Bu.
The spot goes for $7,500/night, for normies, anyway -- but we're told Airbnb gave Britney the pad for free.
It looks super romantic -- because it is -- but it was also a family affair as Brit's boys were with the couple. Didn't stop her from getting into full R&R mode.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's Husband I'm Not Moving Out ... Yet
Zsa Zsa Gabor sold her Bel-Air home long before she died, but her husband and conservator Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt isn't ready to move out, and now will have to pay rent to stay.
Zsa Zsa sold the estate for $11 million in 2013. Under the agreement, she was allowed to stay there until she died, at which point the home would be turned over to the new owner within 4 months.
Zsa Zsa died Dec. 18 of a fatal heart attack, which means The Prince would have to be out by April 17, but he claims in new court docs it's simply not enough time to orchestrate a move.
Since he's the conservator of her estate, he's struck a deal with the new owners for a 6 month extension. The original selling price of the house gets slashed by $300k and The Prince will pay rent ... a much-discounted $1000 a month.
You can't get a studio in WeHo for $1k a month.

Bebe Clothing Creator Unloads Holmby Hills Crib for $30 Mil!!!
The creator of bebe clothing wear finally said goodbye to property after dropping the price by a HUGE amount.
Manny Mashouf put his ridiculously beautiful Holmby Hills estate on the market back in June 2016 for $40 million.
Even prospective Holmby Hills buyers flinched, so he slashed the price by a whopping $10 mil. Apparently, that made the house affordable, and someone anted up close to $30 mil to seal the deal.
All good ... especially for the new owner who gets a sprawling 20,000 square foot oasis that includes 8 bedrooms, 13 baths, a swimming pool, billiards room and card room.
There are real winners in this deal ... realtors Mauricio Umansky, David Parnes and James Harris from The Agency repped both buyer and seller, so by our calculation their commission is around $1.5 MILLION!!!

Jessica Alba My Dad Found Me A $10 Mil Estate!!!
Jessica Alba just snagged a multi-million dollar mansion, and her dad got a cut of the action.
Alba is now the Honest owner of a $10 million Bev Hills estate, and she used her dad as her real estate agent.
The Hamptons-style home is huge ... nearly 9,000 square feet, with 7 bedrooms and 8 1/2 baths.
There's the obligatory pool, guesthouse and incredible city views.
Alba bought the home from former TriStar and Orion Pictures honcho, Mike Medavoy.

Demi Lovato $8 Million Home Unsafe After Landslide
Demi Lovato just got a taste of living in the Hollywood Hills -- a bad taste -- because her house is in danger of sliding down a cliff.
Demi's home got red tagged Monday night ... a house above the singer's was compromised by the storms and a mudslide cascaded into her driveway. The hillside above -- with a house attached -- could slide right into Demi's ... worst-case scenario.
Her house is in the Laurel Canyon area ... not too far from another home that caused chaos earlier this month when a portion of the foundation slid down the hill.
Demi bought the house for $8.3 million back in September and hasn't even moved in.
In case you're interested ... the house is 5,546 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. We're guessing she might be in the market to negotiate.
Drake Home Sale Big Phony Scam
Drake got punked by an impostor who pretended to be his manager and put the word out the rapper was putting his incredible estate on the market ... and the media took the bait.
The LA Times reported Monday Drake had listed his Hidden Hills property for $19,999,900. It's an amazing property, with a grotto which matches the Playboy Mansion, a theater, game room, spa/massage room, and on and on.
Turns out, a random guy who has no association with Drake posted the house as "For sale by owner" on Zillow. A real estate agent noticed the posting and reached out to the "manager" to see if he could rep the property.
The "manager" told the agent he could rep Drake in the sale, and that's when the agent posted the listing on the Multiple Listing Service as an active listing.
The agent, Alexei Pavlov, tells TMZ he never intended to put the property on the MLS as active ... it was supposed to be in drafts while he worked out details with the "manager." But Pavlov says when he spoke with the "manager" to nail down the listing, the guy got aggressive and confessed it was a scam.
Short story ... the house isn't for sale, and the grotto will continue to be populated with hot chicks.

'Rent' Star Sues Landlord over Rent Hikes ... This Is Really Happening
Former "Rent" star Daphne Rubin-Vega is having a serious case of deja vu -- she's beefing with her real-life landlord for raising her real-life rent.
In a lawsuit, Daphne and her husband say the landlord's bypassing rent control laws, and annually jacking up the monthly rent on their NYC apartment. They were paying $1,800/month in 1997, but say they shelled out $5,141.28/month in 2016.
It's gotta feel familiar for Daphne who, as Mimi Marquez in the original "Rent" cast, struggled to survive in NYC. She's suing for damages and wants a judge to rule her apartment building should be subject to rent control.
Remember the love? Apparently not in Daphne's crib.
