Bristol Palin Dumping Old House For New Fiance
Now that Bristol Palin's got a man ... she has no need for a house -- at least not the one she's been living in because she's unloading her half a million dollar home near Sarah Palin.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Bristol is rarely home now that she's all hooked up with her new fiance, Medal of Honor winner Sgt. Dakota Meyer -- so she doesn't need the 3-bed, 3.5-bath 3,200 sq. ft. pad anymore.
She snagged the lakeside digs in Wasilla back in 2011 for $388k, but now wants $549k for it. We're told she completely remodeled it -- plus, it's got sweet mountain and lake views from the master bedroom.
As for where Bristol and her man are moving -- we're not sure yet, but we'd be shocked if she ended up in the Lower 48.
Leaving Mama Bear ... always risky.

Hard Rock Founder Multi-Millions Lost in Flames Hamptons Mansion Burns
Billionaire tycoon Peter Morton's Hamptons mansion -- which he dropped $10 million to buy -- went up in flames ... and there's almost nothing left of the place.
The Hard Rock Cafe founder's castle-like crib caught fire Wednesday afternoon in East Hampton, NY -- and 7 fire departments sent trucks to fight the blaze which appeared to engulf all 10 bedrooms of the 10,000 sq. ft. beachfront spread.
Morton shared the home with his 3 adult children. No no one was home when the fire started -- though a construction company was reportedly working on the property.
Unknown what started the fire at this point, but no one was hurt ... besides Morton's wallet.
Morton bought the mansion back in 1998 -- so, it's gotta be worth more than double that $10 mil by now.
Note: Remember to pay your insurance premium.

'Perfect Strangers' Star Bronson Pinchot The Bank Took My Homes
Balki may be moving back in with cousin Larry ... a Pennsylvania bank has foreclosed on two of Bronson Pinchot's homes after he missed more than $270k in mortgage payments.
According to the court docs, the "Perfect Strangers" star stopped making payments on 2 of his homes 2 years ago, and apparently the bank had it and foreclosed. The homes were featured on his now-defunct DIY Network show, "The Bronson Pinchot Project."
Pinchot owed $186k on one, and more than $85k on the other. The bank now owns both properties.
We reached out to Bronson ... he had no comment.

Robert Durst Police Raid Houston Home
Cops are tearing through Robert Durst's Houston home right now ... possibly seeking evidence in the Susan Berman murder case.
Several marked and unmarked Houston PD cars pulled up outside Durst's high-rise complex Tuesday afternoon. The subject of HBO's "The Jinx" docuseries is still sitting in a New Orleans jail following his weekend arrest, and awaiting extradition to L.A to face a murder one charge.
It's unclear if the search warrant relates to the murder case ... or if cops in NOLA are trying to build a separate case. Cops there say Durst had a gun and drugs when he was arrested -- and there's a possibility he could face charges.

NeNe Leakes ain't the next Joan Rivers yet ... but she's acting like she's got that "Fashion Police" cash by snagging a $2.1 mil Georgia estate.
According to our real estate sources ... NeNe plunked down $750k on the 9,511 sq. ft., 6 bed, 7 bath villa nestled in the swank gated Sugarloaf Country Club.
Apparently, between "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," her appearances and her HSN clothing line, she's doing more than fine ... and now, when she's not brushing up on fashion, she can hit the links and work on her swing.
But we know who she'd really like to practice her swing on ... looking at you Cynthia.

Jen Aniston Drunk Driver Firmly Planted in Front Yard
A drunk driver became an unwanted visitor at Jennifer Aniston's house Saturday night after the guy hit a curb and took out some of her plants.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... it happened at around 8:30 PM at her Bel Air estate. It's unclear if Jen was home, but her rusty trusty security guy instantly called 911.
When cops arrived the driver told them he was not behind the wheel, but security footage from the home clearly showed otherwise. The guy flunked the field sobriety tests and was arrested.
It feels like he was stuck in second gear.
Manny Pacquiao BUYS DIDDY'S OLD MANSION ... And Everything In It!
Manny Pacquiao has just pulled the trigger on Diddy's former Beverly Hills mansion -- TMZ Sports has learned he's officially buying the $12.5 million estate ... AND EVERYTHING INSIDE OF IT!
We broke the story ... Pacman fell in love with the 10,000 square foot pad as soon as he stepped on the property last weekend -- and now our real estate sources say he made the quick decision to buy.
But there was a catch ... Manny wanted to move FAST -- demanding a lightning fast escrow period so his massive Filipino family has a place to stay when they come to L.A. for the fight.
In fact, Manny's in such a rush ... he worked out a deal to get the house fully furnished with the furniture, art and appliances that are currently inside the place.
And get this -- the owners have even agreed to STOCK THE WET BAR for Pacman as part of the deal. Baller stuff.
As we previously reported, Diddy lived in the house in the late '90s (back when he was Puff Daddy) ... and sold it in 2001. The place is sick -- with 7 bedroom, 7.5 baths and a crazy $200,000 home theater.
Perfect for family karaoke nights.
Congrats!

Lil Wayne I Didn't Order that Hooker!!!
Lil Wayne had a guest this week who wanted to give him something ... sex. And she wanted something in return ... money.
A hooker showed up at Wayne's Miami Beach mansion, claiming the rapper ordered her specially. But here's the rub ... Wayne was not the buyer at all.
Sources connected with Wayne tell TMZ ... it's just one in a slew of harassing incidents he's endured over the last 2 weeks. As we told you someone swatted Wayne on Wednesday, claiming he shot 4 people inside the mansion. And just 11 days prior cops came after neighbors reported someone lurking at Wayne's house.
Turns out there have been numerous other incidents, and Wayne's people believe the culprit is one guy. He's been incessantly calling Wayne's house and hanging up. The good news ... they have his phone number and gave it to cops.
As for the hooker ... she didn't even get cab fare back.

Ex-USC Football Star Thwarted Home Invasion Cops On Hunt for Suspects
Frightening moment for a former USC football star -- when two men tried to break into his L.A. home ... while he was INSIDE ... and it was all captured on video.
TMZ Sports spoke with Alex Holmes -- who played tight end for the Trojans during their monster 2004 season -- who says he was hanging out on March 1st when two guys began casing his home.
The entire scene was captured on surveillance ... you can see the two guys ringing the doorbell to see if anyone is inside. When nobody answered, they snuck around to the backyard.
The men put on gloves (no fingerprints) and moved a table to try to enter the house through a 2nd story window ... but set off an alarm and eventually fled the scene.
Holmes was inside the house during the entire incident -- and called police, who raced to the scene moments after the guys bolted.
"I almost feel bad for the kids," Holmes says ... "As soon as they climbed up and opened that window, the alarm went off and they ran away."
The USC alum says it's the second time his house has been targeted in less than a year.
LAPD is asking anyone with information about the two suspects to call Detective Nolan at (213) 922-8255.

Lil Wayne Swatting Incident Caller Told Police ... 'I Just Shot 4 People'
We just got a recording of the call made to Miami Beach cops Wednesday, where a guy claims he just shot 4 people at Lil Wayne's house ... and sounds like he's making it all up as he goes along.
Cops descended on Wayne's mansion, despite the fact the guy promised a firefight with officers. He claimed he would "kill anyone and everything."
Police clearly did the right thing responding, but listen carefully as the dispatcher asks a slew of questions ... it really does sound like swatting from the get-go.
BTW ... cops are on the hunt for the swatter.

Manny Pacquiao House Hunting In Bev Hills ... Scopes Diddy's Old Digs
Seems Manny Pacquiao may have a plan on how to spend that $100 mil paycheck after all ... 'cause he's been looking at real estate in Bev Hills -- including the BALLER mansion Diddy used to call home.
TMZ Sports has learned ... Manny and his crew went to scope out the 10,000 square foot estate this past weekend and sources say he "really liked" what he saw.
The mansion is insane -- 7 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, home theater system, massive backyard and a SICK mancave with a pretty awesome wet bar.
Diddy used to live in the home back in the day -- and sold it in 2001 for $2.313 million.
The new owners renovated the hell out of the place -- and now it's on the market for a cool $12.5 million ... pocket change to a fat cat like Manny.
Our real estate sources tell us Manny is definitely interested in the house -- but didn't make an immediate offer ... in part because he's got that whole fight thing he's trying to focus on.
But we're told Manny is expected to make a decision whether to pull the trigger or pass in the near future.

Nick Cannon Mariah Sold Our House & I Had ... No Say In the Deal!
Nick Cannon got run over by the Mariah Carey express, because their business manager let her drive the train on the sale of their mansion ... while he was kept 100% in the dark ... according to Nick.
According to a new lawsuit ... Cannon says he never authorized the $9 million sale of the Bel-Air home he and Carey used to share, and believes biz manager Michael Kane was dealing exclusively with her people on the deal. He says he didn't find out about this until after the fact.
But the house isn't the issue -- Nick's cool with the sale -- he says the problem is Kane failed to keep him in the loop from start to finish. He's most concerned about how funds from the sale will be divvied up.
Nick wants the bulk of the $9 mil frozen until he gets a detailed accounting to determine how much cheese he's getting.
Kane calls the lawsuit "frivolous" ... and says it's "clearly a desperate act from a sadly desperate man."

'Twilight' Star Sues You Trashed My Recording Studio!!!
"Twilight" co-star Jackson Rathbone claims he thought he was getting a studio in Studio City ... but he got a dirty shell from the unscrupulous sellers.
Rathbone bought a $1.2 million spread, which he insists included a recording studio that was up and running when he made the offer. But when he moved in, the actor claims the sellers had gutted the studio. To add insult to injury, he says the sellers turned the front lawn into a garbage heap.
Rathbone says the studio was an important selling point since he's a musician who was in the group, 100 Monkeys. He demanded that the sellers return and restore the studio to its glory but they refused.
A rep for the sellers had no comment.
Jackson wants more than $50k to get what he claims is what he bargained for.
'Princess Bride' Star Sued Broken House Deal? A Battle of Wits!
"Princess Bride" star Cary Elwes got right up to the altar with the guy who was going to buy his Malibu home, and then jilted him -- so now he's getting sued for backing out on the sale.
According to the docs ... Tris Felder says Elwes agreed to sell the pad to him for $1.7 mil -- but when it came time to deliver the $51k deposit ... Elwes rejected it and called off the whole deal.
In the suit, Felder admits he doesn't have a signed purchase agreement -- but says Elwes did sign the counteroffer letter ... and that's enough to make the sale legit. If he doesn't get the keys ... he wants at least $500k in damages.
In other words ... "You killed my father. Prepare to die."

'Ghost Adventures' Star People Scare Me ... I'm Flipping Out
There's only one thing that terrifies "Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans -- nosy neighbors ... so he's put his $2.6 mil Vegas mansion on the market.
Our real estate sources say Bagans is ditching his 5 bed, 4 bath, 5,800 sq. ft. house after 10 months because a ton of new homes are popping up in the neighborhood -- and he's worried about losing his privacy.
The desert pad is phantom-free -- unlike the haunted home that took nearly 2-years for him to unload -- so he thinks he can flip it quickly, and make up to $500k on the deal.
The only thing haunting the new owner is whether to spend more time in the pool/spa or the basketball court.
