LAPD to Dodgers We Can Help Protect Your Homes ... During World Series!
The LAPD has reached out to several L.A. Dodgers stars -- including Yasiel Puig, Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw -- to make sure their homes are protected during the World Series ... unlike last year.
Remember, Puig's home was hit by burglars during Game 7 of the 2017 World Series -- and cops have said the suspects specifically targeted the place because they knew he'd be at Dodger Stadium at the time.
L.A. Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was also hit by burglars during a Rams game this year -- cops believe the suspects are the same crew of burglars that hit Puig.
Even though cops made multiple arrests, they still believe some of the suspects are on the loose, and they're concerned about copycats and other crime crews. Bottom line -- they don't want to take any chances this time around.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... LAPD officials have reached out to MLB security, agents for the players, personal assistants and other personnel in the hopes of protecting the homes of Dodgers players and staffers.
We're told cops are working with the players to make sure home security systems are up to snuff and, in some cases, additional security personnel are watching their houses.
And, cops will continue to make extra patrols in the neighborhoods where the players live.

Justin Timberlake Slashes SoHo Penthouse Price AGAIN ... Cry Me a River!!!
Justin Timberlake's reaching Crazy Gideon status ... slashing prices like a madman for a penthouse he's desperately trying to unload.
Justin just slashed the price to his SoHo crib by another $400k ... and it's now down to $6.35 mil. Great deal and, at this point, it's a steal. Remember ... Justin originally listed the pad back in March for $7.995 million ... and the only action was a series of price reductions.
Tough to see why Justin's struggling to get it off his back ... the ultra-modern 2,600 sq. ft. pad features a wraparound terrace, which is 853 square feet, and by NYC standards that's HUGE.
The building's got all the bells and whistles ... gym, private entrance, the whole shebang.

Kendall Jenner Gets New Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker
11:40 AM PT -- According to Kendall's declaration -- obtained by TMZ -- she was home Tuesday when Ford rang her doorbell at 6:30 AM. Kendall states, "The fact that he has continued to come to my home -- despite all of my efforts to get him to stop -- scares me." Jenner claims Ford has showed up at her home 4 times in the last 3 months.
Kendall says because of Ford's "repeated stalking," she's suffering from emotional distress.
Ford's been ordered by the judge to stay 100 yards away from Kendall and her home.
Kendall Jenner isn't taking any chances on her latest obsessed fan after he made his way onto her property -- 3 times already -- 'cause she just got a restraining order against him.
Kendall filed for and got a temporary restraining order Friday against 37-year-old Canadian citizen John Ford, who was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold earlier this week.
We broke the story ... Ford was arrested Tuesday after Kendall's security team found him sitting on her front porch after he'd apparently scaled the unsecured mountainside leading up to her home. They called the cops and nabbed him before he could escape.
This is Ford's third incident of trespassing at Kendall's place. He was arrested last month for the same thing, and a criminal protective order was put in place to keep him the hell away from Kendall's gated community. He ignored that and came back twice more this month -- once ending up by her pool and another time ending up on her porch.
Now, Kendall's upped the ante by getting a civil restraining order to keep Ford away from Kendall's gated community.
Ford is being held on $56,000 bail.

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin House Hunting at Demi's Old Crib ... Where She Suffered OD
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin appear ready to become L.A. homeowners -- but one of the houses they're checking out has some ominous vibes ... 'cause it's the one in which Demi Lovato nearly died.
The newlyweds were seen leaving Demi's old Hollywood Hills home Wednesday in a black SUV, with Hailey behind the wheel and JB riding shotgun.
This is the property where Demi overdosed earlier this year -- which she put on the market last month. You'll recall, she's currently in rehab and we've seen her out and about.
The home is listed right around $10 million with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 5,546 square feet. Pricey, but considering JB is plunking down $100k/month on a new rental he just snapped up in the valley, it ain't so bad.
Unclear if the two were aware the pad was Demi's ... but might make for some weird stories in the future.

Because of Max Pacioretty's trade to Vegas ... somebody else in Florida won't have to fear 'The Purge' -- 'cause the NHL superstar just sold his safe room mansion FOR $3.1 MIL!!!
Max used to play for the Canadians up in Montreal ... and obviously needed a snow escape -- so he took off to Boca Raton to catch rays on off days.
But, with his move to the Golden Knights this offseason ... no need for a sun house anymore -- so the winger punted the palace.
It's too bad ... 'cause Max couldn't have been more protected in the mansion -- it featured smart house technology, weather resistant roofing and a freakin' SAFE ROOM!!!
The crib also had a salt water pool AND a basketball court ... obviously for use on days when the house's protection wasn't necessary.
Unclear where Max's new pad is in Vegas ... BUT SOMEBODY IN SIN CITY BUILD THAT MAN A NEW PANIC ROOM!!

'Truman Show' House Spared Hurricane Michael's Wrath
This is NOT a figment of Truman Burbank's imagination ... the house where Jim Carrey filmed "The Truman Show" was smack in the path of Hurricane Michael's 155 mph winds, but somehow dodged disaster.
Exteriors for the 1998 flick were shot at this home in Seaside, FL and, despite the approaching category 4 storm, the owners tell us they did very little to protect the house. They trusted the fact it's sitting on a solid foundation, and hoped for the best. However, the town was under mandatory evacuation, so they got out of harm's way ... not knowing if the home would make it.
Truth is, the odds weren't in their favor when Michael made landfall. As a barometer, Panama city -- just 35 miles west of Seaside -- was decimated.
As it turns out, the hurricane ended up skirting Seaside ... and the only real damage suffered at the house was limited to some branches coming down.
The owners know they got super lucky this time around.
BTW, the house is usually empty, except for visiting family members from time to time. The owners don't rent it out, and they've left it unchanged since 'Truman' was shot there.

Kim & Kanye Old Bel-Air Crib Sells at Huge Loss
Even Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Midas touch has a limit -- their old Bel-Air crib, which they sold for a whopping profit, has been sold again ... but this time at a staggering multi-million dollar loss.
You'll recall the Wests first bought the property in 2013 for $9 million. Enter Ukrainian billionaire Marina Acton in 2017, who plunked down $17.8 mil. Sweet deal for Kanye and Kim and, at the time, the most expensive sale ever in the Bel-Air Crest community.
You'll recall, they'd taken the house down to the studs and rebuilt it as a modern, minimalist home.
Acton wasn't there long ... about 7 months later she put the 10,000 square foot crib up for sale because she's pregnant and needs more space. Well, we confirmed she finally unloaded it for $14 million -- aka a loss of at least $3.8 million. Ouch.
Don't cry for Acton though ... she's worth more than $3.6 billion. Drop in the bucket.

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin Planting Roots Again in La La Land It's Gonna Co$t a Ton!!!
Justin Bieber has commitment issues ... when it comes to buying a crib in L.A. 'cause we've learned he's chosen the renter's life, at least for now.
Sources tell TMZ ... Justin just signed a lease to rent a nearly 6,000 square foot crib in the San Fernando Valley, and it wasn't cheap -- he'll shell out nearly $100k per month.
We're told Justin's sorta kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place -- he doesn't wanna live in a ritzy hotel anymore, but he's not exactly ready to plunk down a ton of cash to buy a place in L.A.
We're told Justin wanted to have a steady place to live when he's in Tinseltown with his new wife (sorry, God) Hailey Baldwin. As far as the crib goes ... the 4 bedroom, 7 bathroom Mediterranean-style house is newly renovated and it features lake-front views.
Justin and lake views ... it's kinda his thing.

David & Victoria Beckham Sell Bev Hills Mansion ... For $33 Mil
David Beckham and his famous family are saying goodbye to their legendary Bev Hills compound -- selling the place for $33 MILLION!!!!
David and Victoria bought the 13,000 square foot estate back in 2007 -- right around the time David signed a $250 MILLION contract with the L.A. Galaxy soccer team.
At the time they bought the home, the asking price was $22 million.
Now, with David bringing an MLS team to Florida -- Inter Miami Football Club -- it appears the family just ain't using the West Coast palace like they used to.
David and Victoria's kids went to school in Los Angeles during their time on the West Coast -- but now they spend their time mostly in London.
The Bev Hills mansion is insane -- 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a library, pool and has iron gates in the front of the property to keep out the riff raff, according to the L.A. Times.

Cher Malibu Home was Loaded with Drugs ... Not Hers Though
Cher's home has been doubling as a drug den ... but apparently without her knowledge.
We broke the story ... Cher's Malibu mansion was swarmed by cops last Thursday and they executed a search warrant, which led to the arrest of Donovan Ruiz, the 23-year-old son of one of her assistants, who lives at her residence.
According to that search warrant -- obtained by TMZ -- cops found a plethora of narcotics and drug paraphernalia both on Ruiz and in his room ... along with boxes of .22 caliber bullets.
Cops searched Ruiz's pants and allegedly found 1.3 grams of fentanyl powder, a Xanax pill, an unknown white pill, tin foil and a pink straw with brown residue.
Ruiz's room was then searched, where cops say they found 16 yellow pills marked "215," 2 pink pills marked "K40," 3 Suboxone strips, 4 fentanyl patches, 2 boxes of .22 caliber ammunition and a Gucci box containing burnt foil and a straw.
The ammo is interesting because as we reported, cops called in paramedics during the search ... anticipating things might turn violent.
According to the docs, cops had reason to believe Ruiz was selling narcotics and sold heroin to a Ventura County resident in September who overdosed and died ... which is why they got the search warrant.
Ruiz was arrested on a felony charge for supplying narcotics to someone who dies.
Cher is on tour and was not home at the time of the arrest.
