Joe Simpson I'm a Beach Boy Now
Joe Simpson just scored the ultimate bachelor pad near the beach -- a gorgeous Malibu crib worth nearly $3.8 million.
Jessica Simpson's pop definitely has an eye for prime real estate ... the 5,340 sq. ft. villa has 5 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms, including a master suite with kick ass ocean views. There's also a guest room if Jess and the grands want to hang for a weekend.
It's a ton of space for a single guy, but remember ... Joe's managing models now.
More room to entertain clients, dude.

Marc Anthony Seals Deal on 1st Home For 3rd Wife
Marc Anthony just kicked off marriage #3 with a bang -- hooking up his new wife with a new mansion ... although he better hope she doesn't compare it to the one he bought with his ex-wife.
Our real estate sources tell us the singer just dropped $4.125 mil on a 6,590 sq. ft mansion in the San Fernando Valley -- perfect timing since he and model Shannon de Lima got hitched in November.
The New England style crib has 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms -- and one thing Shannon's gotta love ... a giant "Sex and the City" styled walk-in closet. She's a model, after all.
The spread is beautiful, no doubt, but it's a major downsize from the cozy 17,129 sq. ft home that he and Jennifer Lopez bought together in nearby Hidden Hills -- which she got in their divorce.
We're guessing size doesn't matter to Shannon.

Tyga Targeted by Burglar Who Made the Perfect Getaway
Tyga's house in a gated community got rolled by a crook who plotted an escape straight out of a Hollywood script ... and actually got away -- only problem is Tyga doesn't live in the house anymore.
It all went down in the same Calabasas 'hood where Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Katie Holmes live. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the burglar asked someone on the block which house was Tyga's ... and then slipped into the backyard.
What he didn't know was ... Tyga had sold the crib to music exec Anthony Tiffith. Sources connected to the Tiffith fam tell us the suspect managed to bust in through a back window while Tiffith was in a different part of the house.
Now to the great escape. We're told the burglar fled the house, and immediately called 911 and said he had mental issues and needed to be taken away. Paramedics responded and took him to a hospital for evaluation.
Meanwhile, back at the house ... Tiffith realized there'd been a break-in, reviewed his surveillance camera footage, and then called neighborhood security ... who called cops.
Short story ... by the time cops connected the dots and went to the hospital -- the burglar had bolted from the hospital. Police are still searching for the suspect.
One more weird note ... after all that, we're told the guy only made off with 2 cell phones. Hardly an Ocean's 11 heist, but effective.

Celeb Stylist Hey, Hollywood ... Come Get Glammed in My Mansion!
Stylist Irene Albright is running the world's largest changing room -- it's a mansion in the Hollywood Hills ... where celebs have been coming and going just to get dolled up for award season.
Sources tell TMZ … Albright has opened up shop inside the huge master bedroom of a 4,200-square-foot home she's renting for $25K a month! We're told she has more than $3 million worth of dresses on racks.
The 5-bed, 6-bath pad was designed by Andrew Gulyas ... who's also a huge celeb real estate agent in town.
As for who's been dropping by to pick up dresses -- Albright tries to keep that under wraps, but we know she's styled for Demi Moore, Meryl Streep and Katie Holmes in the past.
Irene only signed a 3-month lease ... when the award shows are over, she's heading back to NYC.

Beyonce and Jay Z We're Movin' to L.A.!
Beyonce and Jay Z are moving to L.A. and they've already enrolled Blue Ivy in school ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned ... Beyonce and Jay Z are currently living in a hotel in Beverly Hills and actively looking for an estate to buy on the westside of L.A., which includes Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills and Bel-Air. We're told they have already discreetly looked at a number of homes, but so far none fit the bill.
We've also learned the famous couple enrolled their 3-year-old into a toddler program at an elite private school -- we know which one but we're not naming it. But we will tell you, the tuition is $15,080 a year.
We're told Blue Ivy was admitted halfway through the school year, which is unusual. The school generally only accepts students at the beginning of the school year.
As for why they're moving, sources connected with the couple tell us they want "a change in lifestyle." You'll recall, Bey and Jay spent the summer in a $200K a month rental near Bev Hills.
We do not know but assume they will keep their New York digs.

Justin Bieber Pint-sized Trespassers In Pool Party Confrontation
Justin Bieber lost it with 2 young fans, chewing them out and taking one of their cellphones ... but he was more than justified.
We're told a 12-year-old Belieber decided to celebrate her birthday with a friend last Saturday by sneaking onto Justin's estate.
The girls found an opening in the form of an open gate, went inside and came face to face with Justin who was enjoying the 80 degree weather with friends in his pool.
Justin spotted and then berated them for trespassing -- which frankly sounds reasonable -- and then confiscated one of their very active cellphones.
The girls left and cops were not called. We're told they sheepishly returned a few days later and retrieved the phone.
Getting their dignity back ... not so easy.

Jennifer Lopez Moving From The Block ... Cuz It's Too Damn Big
Jennifer Lopez loves her beautiful big ass, but not her beautiful big ass house ... because she's unloading it.
JLo is selling her 3+ acre, 17,000 square-foot Hidden Hills estate, because it's just ridiculously big for her small family.
We're told Jennifer and her 2 kids have their sights set on Malibu ... a smaller house with a better view.
She'll definitely have the cash to buy something new. She purchased the Hidden Hills mansion for $8.2 mil in 2010 and is asking for a cool $17 MILLION.
No word yet if Casper is included in the sale.

Scooter Braun Droppin' Epic Bachelor Pad Before Fatherhood
Scooter Braun kissed bachelorhood goodbye last year ... and now he's ready to cash out on his ultimate bachelor pad to the tune of nearly $12 million.
Braun's 5,300 sq. ft. former man palace is cavernous ... no doubt Justin Bieber crashed more than once in the 4-bed, 5-bath digs Scooter bought in 2011 for $5.7 million.
The testosterdome has a pool, a cabana (for babes), a koi pond (for the koi), and massive floor to ceiling glass walls -- which possibly inspired Biebs to score a glass house too.
Scooter's wife Yael is about to have their first kid ... so the timing's right to scrub all traces of his single days. Last year they dropped $13 mill on a more family-friendly 11,137 sq. ft. mansion in Brentwood.
The baby's definitely going home to a huge crib.

Dr. Dre Flies the Coop ... Straight Outta Famous Bird 'Hood

EXCLUSIVE

Dr. Dre is determined to ball like a billionaire, and he moved close to that goal ... by dropping his fancy Hollywood Hills crib for big money.
Dre just scored $32.5 million for his posh pad in the exclusive bird streets hood ... which is home to Leo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, and a ton of other celebs.
Dre's walking away with more than twice what he paid for it in 2011. Not bad, considering he didn't live there full time. It's not like he had to ... the Doc splurged on Tom Brady and Gisele's massive Brentwood estate for $40M last spring.
The new owners will have plenty of space for their homies to get gangsta ... the 6-bed, 9-bath joint is tucked away on a cul-de-sac with an amazing infinity pool.
We reached out to Dre's uber real estate broker Kurt Rappaport ... but never heard back. The home sale helps Dre creep toward billionaire status. Several estimates already have him over $650 million.

Slash His & Her Tattoos ... With Rebound Girlfriend
Reconciliation is probably off the table for Slash ... 'cause less than one month after calling off his marriage, the rocker got matching tats with his new GF ... and then MOVED IN with her.
TMZ has learned ... the 49-year-old decided to prove his commitment to Meegan Hodges by permanently marking their bodies with a matching set of GPS coordinates.
And if the tats weren't proof enough of a serious relationship -- we've also learned they've moved into a house together in the deep part of the San Fernando Valley ... with Meegan's two teenage daughters.
As for the home, it's nice ... 3,120 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, a pool and a rooftop deck -- and we're told Slash is leasing it.
As we previously reported, Slash filed for divorce from Perla Ferrar on December 30th after 13 years of marriage. They have two kids of their own.
So far, no comment from Perla ... but we're guessing she probably won't be sending a housewarming gift.

Ghost Adventures Star Demons Be Gone! Dumps Haunted Pad
"Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans is through dealing with Satan and his minions ... now they're someone else's problem.
Bagans survived 20 months of a dead housing market, and finally unloaded the house he claims has been possessed ever since he brought home a human skull (for research, of course).
Not shockingly ... that claim didn't really help move the house any faster.
Waiting out the demon paid off -- we're told Bagans got $445,000 for the house ... an $85K profit.
As for the new owner, we have a recommendation for a cleaning lady ...

Celeb Realtor Kurt Rappaport Forget Minecraft K.R. Owns the Best Pad in L.A.
Jay Z and Beyonce may think they lost out on the best house in SoCal -- that's because they never laid eyes on Malibu mega-realtor Kurt Rappaport's $100M palace ... and it's insane.
Don't get too excited ... he's not selling ... but consider this -- the sprawling 22,000 sq-ft Malibu paradise sits on 6 acres and comes with the longest private pool in the entire state -- 168 epic feet.
Kurt, who brokers deals for a slew of celebs, is a patient guy ... it only took 7 years to build the place with a $60M price tag. That's a modest $40M return in the year and a half since completion.
But if you're looking for another reason to hate your life, consider Rappaport is only 43.
Now step away from the ledge.

Mr. and Mrs. Z have told close friends in L.A. they really wanted that house and it's soured them on looking further. They looked before eyeing the property and found nothing they really liked.

Jaime Pressly My Accountant Screwed Me In My Garden
Jaime Pressly doesn't have grounds that would justify a $220,000 gardening bill, but she definitely thinks she has grounds for suing her ex-accountant who paid that tab to her landscaper.
Jaime claims in a new lawsuit ex-pencil pusher Daniel Rivero paid the loot over just 5 years, which she says is ridiculous since she has a fairly modest home in the San Fernando Valley.
But it doesn't stop there. The actress says the accountant screwed up her taxes and now she owes $850K to Uncle Sam. And there's more. She says the guy made 3 bad business investments that cost her $170K.
Pressly's now asking for $900K plus punitive damages.
So much for lawn and order.
