Celebrity Homes

Justin Bartha will have to nurse any future hangovers somewhere else ... 'cause he just sold his Laurel Canyon crib, TMZ has learned.

Bartha bought the gated 1930s Spanish style home in 2007 for $1.25M ... and sold it this week for $1.385 -- slightly more than he was asking ... according to our real estate source's book of secrets.

Check it out ... the place is charming, but it's no palace -- just 1,416 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths.

Ashley Greene's ex landlord finally unloaded the Sunset Strip apartment the 'Twilight' star set on fire last year -- for $1.1 million -- but Ashley could still be on the hook, financially, for the blaze.

The 2-bedroom, 1,800 square-foot Hollywood apartment had to be completely remodeled -- the photos show the transformation -- after it was burnt to a crisp back in March 2013. Our real estate sources tell us the repairs cost $303,000 ... and the building's HOA insurance ended up footing the bill.

As we previously reported -- Ashley, her brother, a friend and her 2 dogs were inside the apartment when a lit candle started the fire. One of the dogs died.

By law, the new owners had to be told about the fire and the dog.

Ashley's still dealing with lawsuits from her old landlord, the building owner, several neighbors, and even the doorman -- and the HOA is still trying to get her insurance to reimburse the $303K.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West don't see bedrooms and bathrooms in their new mansion ... they see dollar signs ... and that's why they're going to sell it and officially enter the house-flipping market.

Kim and Kanye bought an $11 million mansion in Bel Air last year and did a major redo. Their plan going in was to live in it, but sources connected with the couple tell us ... they've been told they could make millions if they sell it so, like Ellen, they're saying 'Why not?"

But this won't just be a one off. We're told Kim and Kanye enjoyed the renovation process so much they've decided to make it a side business. Their plan is to renovate several houses/estates a year.

As for why they think they have what it takes ... actually, their angle is that they know the best people in various fields of home renovation -- architects, landscapers, interior designers, etc.

As for their living situation ... we're told Kim and Kanye are happy living with Kris Jenner for now. Plenty of space, and a built-in babysitter.

Ellen DeGeneres just flipped the amazing house she bought around New Year's -- after only living there a few months -- and the buyer was Napster co-founder Sean Parker ... who opened his wallet wide.

The Brody House -- yes, the place is so baller it has a name -- was sold to Parker for $55 million ... which means Ellen made a tidy $15 mil profit. She bought it for around $40 million. We're good at math.

We're told Parker approached Ellen and Portia late last month with the offer ... he went nuts over the famous house and Ellen's interior design. We're told even though she never intended to flip the house, she couldn't refuse a good deal. The escrow was all of 8 days. It closed last Thursday.

Ellen and Portia quickly snatched up the entire floor of a condo in Beverly West (fancy schmancy condo near Bev Hills) for $16 mil ... combining two units for new digs. But when they want real space, they'll go to their mega-estate is Santa Barbara.

We called their broker -- uber-real estate agent Kurt Rappaport -- but our calls weren't returned.

The rich get richer.

And they didn't live happily ever after ...

Sherri Shepherd put her dream house on the market a few weeks after she filed for divorce and a few weeks before she got the ax from "The View."

Sherri bought the house in 2012 ... when everything seemed good. She was rolling on "The View" and living seemingly happily with her husband Lamar Sally and her then 7-year-old son.

But things have deteriorated ... and Sherri put the house on the market for $1.725 Mill. She bought it for $1.737, but with real estate commissions and other expenses ... she'll be out of pocket some.

Neil Patrick Harris just signed yet another big deal -- but this time it's not Hollywood or Broadway ... it's the Valley.

Our real estate sources tell us ... Neil just accepted an offer for his Sherman Oaks mansion. Neil put the 4,000 square foot home on the market 8 days ago and it triggered a bidding war.

In the end ... someone made an offer Neil couldn't refuse. As for how much ... all we're being told is that it's MORE than the $2,995,000 asking price.

Neil is moving to NYC ... where he's currently starring in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" on Broadway.

He bought the house in 2010 for $2.1 mil, so it's definitely a nice profit.

Pat Sajak has caused more than $100,000 of misfortune to his neighbor who is now suing him for gross sprinkler malfeasance ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Jacob Saleh claims in the suit -- obtained by TMZ -- Pat's sprinkler system was a disaster ... broken sprinkler heads, broken pipes, defective timers and other problems with the irrigation system.

Saleh says the "Wheel of Fortune" star did nothing to fix the problem on his $3 million estate ... and as a result there was massive flooding on Saleh's property ... causing the soil to significantly shift.

Saleh says his retaining walls were damaged, and there was large cracking and shifting of the pool. He's also worried his foundation might be damaged.

According to the lawsuit ... Saleh confronted Sajak ... to no avail. In fact, he says Sajak admitted he had broken pipes and defective sprinklers but did nothing to fix any of the problems.

According to the suit ... the repair costs are estimated at $125,000.

We called Pat's rep for comment ... so far no word back.

They say he OWNED the court when the Bulls played in Chicago Stadium ... but TMZ Sports has learned Michael Jordan only owns a PIECE of the court ... and it's displayed in his Florida mansion.

We've obtained pics of the authentic center court section from Chicago Stadium -- that Michael was allowed to keep when the Bulls moved from Chicago Stadium in 1994.

Sources close to Michael tell us ... MJ had the court section installed into his 28,000 square foot home in Jupiter, FL -- which he moved into back in 2013.

We spoke to the Bulls who confirmed, "Michael does have a piece of the court with the Bulls logo."

The rep added, "Years ago when the Bulls went from Chicago Stadium to the United Center, Michael took the center court portion of the court."

Unclear if he paid for it ... but we're guessing it was gift for ... you know ... the championships.

Pretty bad ass, right?!

Selena Gomez may want to rethink living in a free-standing house ... because she sounded a 911 alarm yet another time Sunday ... this time because she feared a burglar lurked inside her home.

Selena has cause for concern -- a stalker has broken into her property before, got arrested, got out and made a beeline for her home. He got arrested again and thrown in jail, but he was out in a matter of days. He was admitted to a mental health facility as of June 20, but is only required to be there for 30 days.

Selena got home Sunday night just before midnight and saw the back door flung open.

Cops rushed over but found no one inside and no evidence of forced entry. It's possible she left it open herself, but Selena is freaked out.

All Jack Osbourne needs is Julie Chen and he could shoot "Big Brother" right in his new mansion -- 'cause the place is loaded with more than a DOZEN high-res cameras ... TMZ has learned.

We know ... Jack O just dropped $3.2 mil on a 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom home in Studio City, CA -- just a few miles from the REAL "Big Brother" house on the CBS lot.

Sources tell us Jack was looking for a family-friendly neighborhood to raise his 2-year-old daughter Pearl -- and fell in love with the Cape Cod-style home in the Valley.

The bonus is all the high-tech surveillance located all-around the house ... which Jack could probably use considering he's had an issue with a violent unwanted intruder in the past -- his ex-GF who once keyed the living crap out of his Maserati.

Jeremy Meeks has a pretty face, but a messy apartment ... thanks to cops who broke down his door with a battering ram and tossed his place ... but no weapons were found.

Meeks' family tells TMZ ... Stockton PD executed the warrant Tuesday when no one was home. We're told cops took several items ... including Jeremy's ID, mail and a cannabis card.

Police tell us they found no guns or drugs.

Justin Bieber has loaded up his truck and moved to Beverly Hills ... and his neighbors are already pissed.

We've learned Bieber is renting 2 units in a new, fancy Bev Hills condo building. It's a little strange ... he's rented both a penthouse unit and the unit on the floor below, even though the units don't connect.

We're told Justin needed the space not just for him but for his entourage. He moved in earlier this month.

Now here's the predictable problem with the Biebs living in a condo building. The neighbors have already contacted the HOA because of excessive noise and marijuana. And we're told ... cops have been called twice.

A resident in the building tells TMZ, "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."

Neighbors complained last week of a rager that went on until 4 AM.

And there's this. A neighbor told TMZ Justin was having a small party Monday where his deck was outfitted with bongs and a bar ... and the entire penthouse floor was being hotboxed.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are channeling a bit of old Hollywood ... paying top dollar for a house that once belonged to Bing Crosby, TMZ has learned.

Real estate sources at Trulia tell us Fox and Green dropped $3.35M for the 6,710 square foot ranch home -- which was originally a carriage house on Der Bingle's estate in Toluca Lake.

The place doesn't exactly inspire dreams of White Christmases ... the 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom crib underwent a contemporary makeover during an extensive 2008 remodel. It now has lots of exposed wood .. and the master BR has a 2nd story loft.

45 years after Buzz Aldrin stepped on the Moon ... the trip's still paying huge dividends -- just ask his THIRD ex-wife, who's snatching up a prime piece of luxury real estate.

Lois Driggs Cannon dropped just under $1 mil -- $995,000 on the sixth-floor condo which features 2,045 sq. feet, 2 bedrooms and 3 baths, but the real value is ... location, location, location. The pad is located in the exclusive Wilshire Corridor area of Los Angeles.

Buzz and Lois' divorce was finalized in December 2012, -- and she walked way with nearly $250,000 cash, $9,500 per month in spousal support ... AND 30 percent of Buzz's future income.

Apollo 11 ... the gift that keeps on giving.

It's unclear if Casper is serious about the place, but based on the location -- we're guessing he'll pass.

Dude already did more than 2 years on Lopez. Didn't end well.

The guy who owned Walt Disney's old mansion was not able to get his $90 million asking price, and had to settle for a measly $74 million. Sucks, right?

Gabriel Brener, co-owner of the Houston Dynamo soccer team, bought the Carolwood Estate in a ritzy area of L.A. in the 90s from the Disney trust for $8.45 million and made some HUGE improvements over the years.

The mansion now has 8-bedrooms, 17 bathrooms and sits on nearly 4 acres. It features a pool, wine cellar, tennis court, library, gym, putting green and movie room.

The estate -- listed by Jay Harris from The Agency -- does not have many Disney touches left, but Brener held on to Mrs. Disney's infamous rose bushes, the tunnel ... and the famous Disney gate.
