'New Edition' Singer Ronnie DeVoe Droppin' The Mic To Sell L.A. Real Estate

Published | Updated

R&B singer Ronnie DeVoe wants to cash in on his celeb status by hawking high-end real estate in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.

The "New Edition" and "Bell Biv DeVoe" singer tells us he just opened DeVoe Real Estate in Georgia ... and plans to do the same out west.

This isn't Ronnie's first crack at this -- he had a realtor biz from 2002 to 2008 with about 60 agents.

He's on tour right now with "New Edition" -- they've got 30 more shows this year, but right after that ... DeVoe says he plans to set up shop in L.A. and partner with established brokers in the market.

We can see the billboards now: DeVoe Real Estate -- Never trust a big butt and a smile, but always trust us!

Cody Simpson Hey, Gigi Hadid ... I Got Your Crash Pad Right Here

Published | Updated

Cody Simpson ain't your average struggling 18-year-old ... the singer just scored his own townhome in the middle of West Hollywood -- and no one's happier than his smoking hot GF Gigi Hadid.

Our real estate sources tell us the Aussie pop star laid down $1.18 million for a 2 bedroom, 3 bath unit. It's got just over 1,600 sq. ft. ... a ton of space for a teenager striking out on his own.

Cody's also getting some sick city views from his FOUR outdoor patios and rooftop deck -- and best of all ... he can share that with modeling's 'it' girl, Gigi.

The pad is a major bonus for Hadid ... who now gets a place to crash near all the action in Hollywood -- instead of trekking out to her parent's Malibu mansion.

Congrats, Cody! Mostly on landing Gigi ... but the crib's cool too.

Pierce Brosnan 911 Call Shouts Frantic Warning ... During House Fire

Published | Updated

Pierce Brosnan sounded panicked and out of breath when he called 911 to report his Malibu house was on fire -- and worried one of his cars was about to explode.

As we reported ... Brosnan's garage went up in flames last week and when he called 911 you can hear him screaming at someone -- most likely his wife -- to stay away from a car.

Mrs. 007, Keely Shaye Smith ... also called 911 and said, "I've got to go because I don't wanna get blown up."

Police say they still don't know what caused the fire and the investigation is ongoing.

Vanilla Ice Arrested for Home Burglary

Published | Updated

Vanilla Ice has been arrested and charged with burglary and grand theft for allegedly stealing furniture, a pool heater, bicycles and other stuff from a vacant home in Florida.

Lantana PD tells TMZ ... it's all connected to Ice's TV show, "The Vanilla Ice Project." Ice was renovating a nearby home and allegedly thought it was a good idea to go to the abandoned place and take the items in question.

Apparently, even though the house was vacant, the rightful owner had a problem with someone jacking their belongings ... thus the burglary charge.

The cops got a search warrant and recovered some of the items.

Published | Updated

Sugar Bear's gonna see Honey Boo Boo on a regular basis ... as long as he respects Mama June's new house rules -- and believe it or not ... she's running a tight, clean ship.

June finished moving into her new pad this past weekend, and we're told she and Sugar Bear have worked out a visitation plan. He'll make the 90-min trek from McIntyre to Hampton and pop in to see Alana on weekends.

We got pics of June's new crib, where she has installed strict new rules like ... no shoes allowed -- those go in a bucket by the door. We're also told Alana and the rest of the girls must pitch in each day with daily chores.

And clean laundry will never be an issue -- check out the pics ... including June's room practically filled with detergent.

Welcome to high society.

Real estate sources tell TMZ she's looked at 20 homes so far -- from Hollywood to Santa Monica -- and is willing to drop up to $12 million when the right one catches her eye.

We know one of the places she checked out is a 6 bedroom/10 bath Pacific Palisades mansion ... going for $10.9 million.

Sweet, right? Well, not good enough ... we're told Adele passed. Probably just saving "Best for Last."

The fire reportedly broke out Wednesday night just before 10 PM ... and about 20 firefighters doused the fire and stopped it from spreading.

It's unclear if Pierce was home when the blaze started, but photogs got video of 007 and his wife Keely Shaye Smith -- talking to firefighters and cleaning up -- once it was safe to go inside the house.

'Botched' Star Paul Nassif Gets a Nip/Tuck In The Housing Dept

Published | Updated

"Botched" star Dr. Paul Nassif is used to putting people under the knife, but now he's cutting about 15,000 square feet from his living space.

The former hubby of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Adrienne Maloof scooped up a $5M bachelor pad in Bel-Air. The new 4 bedroom/5 bath digs are pretty baller at 5,135 sq. ft. ... unless you compare it to his old crib.

He and Adrienne used to share a 20,000 sq. ft. palace, but Paul's a pro ... size doesn't matter.

As the good doc might put it -- it's no D-cup but it's plenty ample.

We contacted "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" star Josh Flagg and Joe Babajian -- who brokered the deal, but they had no comment.

Meek Mill It's Just a Little Crack ... I Didn't Trash Glass House

Published | Updated

Meek Mill's Grammy party guests didn't trash Justin Bieber's famous glass palace -- they merely left a few cracks, according to Mill's attorney ... but there's still a war brewing over his $10K deposit.

Mill's attorney, Richard Joseph, denies leaving the mansion -- formerly rented by Bieber -- in shambles following the epic bash on Sunday night. He says there was a minor window crack, and a few scuffs on the walls ... but nothing that would qualify as "trashing."

Sources with direct knowledge of the lease for the house tell a much different story. TMZ obtained photos that appear to back up claims the place looked like a war zone, with damage including:

- a kicked in door with shattered windows

- dead landscaping

- broken glass in the pool

- destroyed furniture and cigarette smoke damage

Joseph claims those damages were never mentioned to him, and no one raised the possibility of holding his deposit. He also points out ... his name is on the lease, NOT Meek's.

Our sources say, the leasing company is still totaling up the damage, and they intend to seek compensation.

Meek Mill Party Bieber's Glass House Trashed ... Cops Called

Published | Updated

Meek Mill took over Justin Bieber's glass mansion for Grammy weekend and threw a party so wild ... cops had to be called and the crib was destroyed when it was all said and done.

Mill hosted the massive Grammy after-party Sunday night -- Nicki Minaj, French Montana, Khloe Kardashian, Chris Brown and Justin were at the bash ... and sources inside tell us it got crazy when a fight broke out between rival gang members.

During the melee, we're told punches and even ice sculptures were tossed -- and most of the guests fled into the street. Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops were called around 1:30 AM for loud music, and found more than 1,000 people walking around the ritzy 'hood. It took about 3 hours to clear the streets.

No arrests were made, and police never went inside the house -- which was totally trashed. We're told Justin moved out last week, and Meek moved in ... signing a 1-week lease to lock down the party location.

We're guessing he can kiss that security deposit goodbye.

Joe Simpson I'm a Beach Boy Now

Published | Updated

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

Published | Updated

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

Published | Updated

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!

Published | Updated

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.!

Published | Updated

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

Published | Updated

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.
