Hilary Duff & BF Matthew Koma Face Off with Intruder ... Police on the Hunt

Published | Updated

Hilary Duff's home once again attracted an unwanted visitor ... but luckily she and her BF were home to scare his ass away.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Hilary and her baby daddy -- music producer Matthew Koma -- were home Tuesday night in the kitchen of her Beverly Hills home when, at around 8:30, they noticed a man lurking around their backyard.

It's unclear exactly how but we're told Hilary and Matthew managed to scare away the intruder before calling police. Cops showed up and, while doing a perimeter search, they noticed a window screen had been removed, though the intruder never actually made it inside the house.

Our sources say cops dispatched extra patrols around the area but cops continue to investigate since the man's still on the loose. Unsettling for sure, especially after what happened to Hilary back in 2017.

As we first reported ... someone broke into the same pad and the thief or thieves made off with bling worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Goes without saying ... Hilary and Matthew are more worried about an even more precious treasure in the home ... their 4-month old daughter.

Luke Perry Cremated and Ashes Scattered on Tennessee Farm

Published | Updated

Luke Perry was cremated and his remains were scattered on the place he most cherished ... his Tennessee farm.

Family sources tell us Luke's ashes now lay in the town of Vanleer, TN, where Luke had 380 acres. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor purchased the land in the '90s. He lived there on and off over the past 20-plus years.

TMZ broke the story ... Luke's death certificate lists his official cause of death as "ischemic cerebrovascular accident" -- doc talk for having a stroke. The cert revealed his body had been taken to Dickson, TN to a funeral home, but it was not more specific.

Vanleer is just over 13 miles away from Dickson, so it sounds like his family received Luke's ashes in Dickson and drove them north to the farm.

As for Luke's connection to the farm ... he bought it in 1995 during the '90210' run. He had just starred in the movie "8 Seconds" where he played a young rodeo champ and developed an interest in cattle raising. That's when he purchased the farm.

Our sources say a private ceremony for friends and family will be held for Luke in a few weeks.

As we first told you ... Luke was supposed to get married to his fiancee, Wendy Madison Bauer, later this summer. The date had been set for August 17, 2019, in LA.

He was 52.

Published | Updated

Demi Lovato is moving on up ... to a high-rise luxury condo in Century City, and her new place is loaded with some baller amenities and breathtaking views!!!

We've learned Demi recently moved into an exclusive building -- home to tons of celebs and high-profile peeps -- and she's doing it big, all the way up on the 22nd floor!

As you can see ... Demi is enamored with her amazing views of the Hollywood Hills, San Gabriel Mountains and Los Angeles skyline. Talk about your window to the world!

The amenities are next-level too ... we're talking indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, an insane fitness center, exercise studios, private park, outdoor chef's kitchen, a lounge, game room and screening room.

How does she ever leave the property?!?

Our sources say Demi moved in about 2 months ago, which puts her move-in date right around the time she celebrated 6 months of sobriety, and she's throwing down about $35,000 a month in rent.

We broke the story ... Demi is selling her Hollywood Hills home, where she OD'd on Oxycodone last summer, and it's on the market for $9.495 million.

Home ownership is overrated anyway.

Sportscaster Warner Wolf Charge Dropped in 'Plantation' War ... Case Dismissed

Published | Updated

Chalk this one up as a WIN for Warner Wolf -- the legendary sportscaster's charge has been DROPPED in his battle over his gated community's "plantation" sign.

As we previously reported ... officials say Wolf ripped the word, "Plantation," off the sign of the private community where he lives, "Classics Plantation Estates" because he believes the word is offensive.

Wolf had lobbied the homeowners association to make the change for years -- but on Nov. 30, the 81-year-old was fed up and did the job himself.

Wolf was charged with felony criminal mischief last month ... but the 81-year-old says it was all worth it ... 'cause the case has been dismissed, he tells us.

“My attorney, Shannon Mcfee, called me last night and said the prosecutor had decided to have the charge dismissed. Criminal mischief,” Wolf says.

“I gave them $1,100 [for the damages] ... I was in jail for 4 hours. It wasn’t fun.”

Wolf is a sports broadcasting legend -- he worked for ABC Sports and called Monday Night Baseball, football and the Olympics. He also had a cameo in "Rocky IV."

Oh, and you're probably wondering -- “It was worth it.”

Kim Kardashian Paying 5 Years Rent For Man Released from Jail

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian West is making sure one man recently released from jail will have a roof over his head for the next 5 years -- she's picking up his rent bills -- TMZ has confirmed.

Matthew Charles -- who had served 20 of his 35-year sentence for a non-violent drug and weapons charges -- was the first to be released under new prison reform laws. Charles recently had his housing application denied because of his background.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Kardashian heard about Charles' story and wanted to do what she could to help ... so she's going to pay his rent for the next 5 years.

Kim first heard of Charles' story through an article posted on Twitter -- Charles was first granted early release in May 2016 by mistake -- and two years later was ordered to finish out the rest of his sentence. Charles was able to start to get back on his feet by purchasing a vehicle and staying with friends ... but had a hard time landing a place to live.

We're told Kim reached out to Charles and his friend privately Sunday and generously offered to pay his rent and to help him find a stable place to live.

Charles posted about the good news Sunday, saying, "I just received the most wonderful news tonight that I just had to share with everyone. Kim Kardashian-West heard about my situation. Was moved and has decided to help me."

US Weekly -- who first reported the story -- says Charles plans to save up to buy a home of his own while Kim takes care of the rent bills.

Robert Herjavec $100k Snatched in Burglary!!!

Published | Updated

Robert Herjavec might want to invest in something that reminds him to turn on his home security system, because he didn't ... and it cost him big time.

The "Shark Tank" star's Hollywood Hills house was burglarized ... according to law enforcement sources. We're told a thief or thieves hit his pad last weekend, busting in through a window and making off with more than $100k worth of jewelry, cash and some other items.

Our sources say Herjavec's security alarm was not activated at the time of the break-in, so cops weren't called to his place until he got home and discovered it. We're told it's unclear if this heist is connected to other burglaries in the area.

Shame, Robert and the rest of his 'Shark' pals didn't strike a deal with the inventor of Ring (which used to be called DoorBot) when he was on the show. One of those would've come in handy.

As we've reported, there have been a ton of non-celeb and celeb break-ins in the L.A. area for more than a year now -- and 10 gang members were charged with being part of a group targeting homes of the rich and famous.

Paris Hilton Party Like Me For $30k/Month!!!

Published | Updated

Paris Hilton's former party pad is hitting the rental market, which means you can live it up like the famous socialite and her celeb friends -- if you've got the cash. A lot of it.

Paris' old crib is well-known across Hollywood for its legendary parties, and it's the same place where Kim Kardashian styled Paris' hair back in the day. It doesn't come with Kim, though, so here's what ya do get.

The Spanish-style, Hollywood Hills pad has a baller backyard, breathtaking views and endless entertainment options ... perfect for hosting parties. Obvi. Check out the pics, and you'll know why P enjoyed tons of wild nights with Nicole Richie before she moved out in 2007.

Less fun fact: this is where Paris was living when cops came to haul her back to jail in 2007 -- one day after she'd been released -- for a probation violation.

The house recently sold for $3.9 million, but the new owner's looking to rent it out in the next few weeks.

Linn Renee Sivertsen from The Agency has the listing.

Taylor Swift Rooftop Break-in!!! NYC Burglar Returns

Published | Updated

3/8 6:30 AM PT -- A judge set Alvarado's bail at $30,000 cash or $75,000 bond.

A guy who's clearly Taylor Swift-obsessed is in custody after going full cat burglar, allegedly ... he was busted after climbing onto her roof and kicking in a door, and it's not his first time on the premises.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Roger Alvarado managed to get on the roof of Taylor's Tribeca pad early Thursday morning -- around 2 AM -- but once he busted down a door to gain entry her alarm system sounded. We're told Taylor's security team reacted immediately, calling cops to the scene.

Alvarado was arrested on the scene, which has gotta feel like deja vu for him. NYPD nabbed him last April at this same residence. You might recall, this is the guy who actually took a shower in Taylor's pad before he was busted last year.

In December, he pled guilty to attempted burglary and criminal contempt. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail -- and was credited with time served since he'd been behind bars since the original April arrest -- and 5 years probation.

Taylor was not home at the time, and Alvarado is still in custody.

Jennifer Lopez Hires 'Fixer Upper' Star Joanna Gaines for Her Malibu Pad

Published | Updated

Jennifer Lopez is all about that Magnolia Market life ... and who better to get the job done on J Lo's new beachfront crib than "Fixer Upper" star Joanna Gaines?!?

J Lo and Joanna finally got to work Sunday at J Lo and A-Rod's new Malibu home. The couple dropped $6.6 million last month for the house and, for their 2-year anniversary, J Lo revealed to Ellen DeGeneres the couple recruited Joanna to give the "Fixer Upper" house her magic touch.

For the uninitiated ... Chip & Joanna -- who made our hearts ache hard when they left TV in 2018 -- are coming back!!! Details are scant but here's what we know for sure ... the "Fixer Upper" stars announced last November they're teaming up with the Discovery Channel to get hammerin' and stylin' again. That explains the cameras on hand.

Ya gotta imagine this project's unlike any other for Joanna ... working with a power couple that's not all that worried about going a tad bit over budget. The 3-floor beach pad's pretty sick -- featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.25 bathrooms and a wraparound deck.

Have fun, Joanna!!!

SZA Goes Tumbling Down All the Stairs

SEE YA NEXT FALL

SZA needs to be way more careful when she's scoping out a new pad ... because you never know when an open door to a down staircase will appear.

The singer and her friend, Sage, were in their new house getting some video for their Instagram stories when SZA -- clearly unfamiliar with the lay of the land -- takes a nasty fall.

Check it out ... her friend's recording when SZA squats down, apparently thinking she's still got a wall behind her and leans back too far into the abyss.

It looks pretty bad, but Sage -- despite screaming in horror -- keeps filming and we see SZA at the bottom of the steps ... and she says she's fine.

Probably not the best way to get settled into a new home, but a memorable way ... as long as she didn't hit her head too hard.

NFL's Randy Gregory Allegedly Blew Off Rent Payments ... Facing Eviction

Published | Updated

Randy Gregory's week ain't gettin' any better ... 'cause the Cowboys star is now facing eviction after allegedly failing to pay almost $15,000 in rent and utilities.

26-year-old Gregory had been living in a nice 3-bedroom home in Frisco, Texas since August 2018 -- but according to a letter sent to the NFL player and his attorney on Feb. 5, he fell behind in payments to the tune of $13,674.

Sources involved in the situation tell us that number has now inflated to nearly $15,000.

The letter, obtained by TMZ Sports, demands Gregory either pay the money he owes or "vacate the premises within one day."

According to our sources, Gregory has still not forked over the cash ... and he's still living in the home.

The home is pretty nice -- 3,500 square feet, 3.5 bathrooms, with a bar, game room and a nice outdoor BBQ area. It's also located about 1 mile from the Cowboys practice facility.

We're told Randy had signed a 1-year rental agreement in August -- but stopped paying the $4,500/month rent back in December.

Gregory's made some money ... he signed a 4-year, $3.8 million deal after being drafted by the Cowboys with the 60th pick in the 2nd round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

But, his time in the NFL has been plagued with drama and failed drug tests (reportedly 7 or more) -- with the most recent coming to light this week -- prompting the league to indefinitely suspend the talented defensive end.

TMZ Sports reached out to Gregory's rep -- Daniel Moskowitz -- who declined comment.

Bruce Willis & Emma Heming Back on the Best Coast With a Beaut of a Brentwood Home

Published | Updated

Bruce Willis and his wife, Emma Heming, are back in Cali after recently listing their New York compound -- and they're doing it big in Brentwood ... real, real big.

We've learned the action hero star and former fashion model just closed on a sprawling 7-bed, 5-bath, brand new mansion in the ritzy L.A. neighborhood for just under $10 mil. It's a sweet deal considering what they're getting.

Sitting on about a half-acre of land, the gated property features a full indoor spa --  pool, sauna and steam room -- as well as a chef's kitchen, movie theater, gym, elevator, two cabanas and a private yoga studio.

Bruce and his wife said earlier this year that they wanted to move West after unloading two of their NY properties over the past couple years. One place in Manhattan sold for nearly $18 mil ... and they just listed an upstate home in January for nearly $13 mil.

Kurt Rappaport and Drew Meyers repped Bruce and Emma for the Brentwood sale.

Welcome back to the Hollywood scene, Bruce. Always good to see a familiar face.

Aaron Carter Single and Ready to Jingle His New House Keys!!!

Published | Updated

Aaron Carter's a grown man making responsible, grown-up choices, but he still scored a pretty baller bachelor pad ... with a nice yard for his puppy to boot.

The singer tells TMZ ... Aaron's party has officially moved to Lancaster, California -- he dropped $430k on his first home ... a wise investment for his future and proving he's got his s**t together.

Aaron says he chose a house away from Hollywood and the beaches because he wanted to get more bang for his buck, and his new pad's close to dirt biking and camping sites ... a couple of his favorite activities.

He also scored a spacious yard for his 11-month-old Doberman pinscher, Diamond, to run around.

Aaron's 3-bed, 3-bath pad comes with a backyard pool and a 3-car garage, and with 2,686 sq. ft. ... there's plenty of room to entertain. It was listed by agent Christie Limpus.

As for his bachelor status -- it's a pretty new thing. He and his girlfriend, Lina Valentina, just called it quits last week.

The former Dolphins, Marlins and Panthers owner -- who died last year -- owned the 20,653-square-ft estate on the riverfront ... and it was previously listed at a whoppin' $27 million.

The whole property has five different buildings ... and there are multiple safe rooms throughout the place.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU

Larsa Pippen's weighing in on the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal, saying if she was Kylie Jenner ... she'd put an eviction notice on Jordyn Woods' door pronto.

One of Kim Kardashian's best friends was leaving Bev Hills beauty salon Blown on Canon Wednesday, and we asked her about Jordyn's current status with the fam after she allegedly hooked up with Tristan.

As you know ... Jordyn is Kylie's BFF and Kylie said last year that Jordyn lives with her. Well ... she used to. She's reportedly getting the boot as of Wednesday. Soooo ... Larsa's prediction here about Jordyn's future seems absolutely dead-on.

As we reported, Kim unfollowed both Tristan and Jordyn on social media, and some of her sisters followed suit. The big question has been how Kylie is going to handle the situation moving forward.

Larsa says ... consider it handled.

Chris Hansen Scrambled for Possessions After Eviction

Published | Updated

Chris Hansen is out on his ass ... with practically none of his belongings.

Sources tell TMZ ... the former host of "To Catch a Predator" was escorted out of his Manhattan apartment February 6 by city marshals, but not before throwing a Hail Mary.

We're told Hansen tried to be slick ... telling the marshals the attorneys worked out a deal. The marshals weren't buying it and called the landlord's legal muscle. Sure enough ... no deal was in place. We're told Hansen didn't put much of a fight after that, and -- as one source put it -- "went out like a church mouse."

And, get this ... after the locks were changed, our sources say Hansen tried getting back into the apartment, but obviously couldn't. He tried in vain to convince the super to let him inside ... to no avail.

We're told Hansen ultimately got permission ... and someone in his lawyer's office picked up some items Hansen left behind in his 1,000 square foot apartment. Sources say there's still TONS of stuff in the pad ... including furniture, electronics and jewelry.

As we first reported ... Chris had trouble making rent back in August and stopped sending checks altogether. The owner went to court to have him evicted ... and the judge issued an order.

It's been a rough year for Chris. He was busted in January for bouncing checks. That charge was dismissed.
