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.
As for the buyer, no word yet -- but whoever it is ... RICH.

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.

LeBron James, Viola Davis Targeted By Celebrity Burglars ... LAPD Says
The LAPD says the suspects who have been raiding the homes of celebrities in L.A. had a list of a dozen more stars they were targeting including LeBron James, Viola Davis and Matt Damon.
... and cops say the suspects had already obtained the addresses of their famous targets.
As we previously reported, cops had arrested one of the suspects who had allegedly hit the homes of Yasiel Puig, Rihanna, Christina Milian and L.A. Rams star Robert Woods ... but now, officials say they've arrested 3 more people.
Of the 4 people in custody ... 2 of them are 19-year-old men, one is an 18-year-old man and the other is a 34-year-old woman.
The female suspect is the MOTHER of one of the teenage men, according to LAPD Capt. Lillian Carranza.
And, that's not all ... cops believe there are more people involved in the burglaries and investigators are currently on the hunt to catch them too.
In total, cops say the burglary crew has already hit more than 24 homes -- with at least 12 more rich and famous targets in their sights.
The key to solving the case ... cops say Robert Woods' neighbor made the initial call to report the robbery at his house and when they found the first suspect, the found items connected to the other high profile cases.
In total, cops say the group stole more than $1 MILLION in property -- including $50,000 cash, watches, purses and a vehicle. Cops say one of the suspects also had a firearm.
Cops are asking the public to help strengthen their case against the suspects by identifying the stolen objects and giving information about the suspects and other possible crimes.

Miranda and the Snapchat co-founder bought their crib in 2016 ... about a year before they got married in their backyard.
The suspect who caused all this ruckus has been taken into custody.

Jason Ritter Burglar Hits Home ... w/ Fiancee Alone Inside
Jason Ritter's the latest celeb to get hit by a burglar, and this one was especially horrifying ... for his fiancee.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jason's fiancee, Melanie Lynskey, was home alone last weekend in their Hollywood Hills crib when she heard some noise in the back of the house. We're told she thought it was Jason coming home, but then realized the back door window had been broken ... and it became very clear what had just happened -- a break-in.
Our sources say the burglar walked in through the door after breaking the window, but was apparently scared away after hearing Melanie, who then called 911.
Cops showed up, but the perp was gone by the time they arrived. LAPD's now investigating the attempted burglary. Jason -- son of the late John Ritter -- is just the latest celeb to be targeted by burglars. Rihanna's crib was hit a few days later in the same neighborhood.

Rams WR Robert Woods Burglarized During 'Thursday Night Football'
L.A. Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had a GREAT night on Thursday -- until he got home ... and saw his home had been broken into while he was playing the Vikings, TMZ Sports has learned.
Woods caught 5 passes for 101 yards and a TD in the Rams victory over Minnesota at the Coliseum in L.A. Clearly, somebody knew he would be out of the house (the game was nationally televised) and burglarized Robert's San Fernando Valley pad.
We're told when Woods returned to his home after the game, he called police -- but since no alarm was set, it's unclear exactly when the burglary took place. It appears the intruder entered through a back window. Sources say cops and Woods are trying to put together a list of what was taken.
The situation appears to be similar to Yasiel Puig -- who also lives in the Valley. His home was hit while he was playing a game at Dodger Stadium earlier this month.
Woods is from Los Angeles -- he went to high school in Gardena and played college ball at USC.

Rihanna Hollywood Hills Home Broken Into ... 2nd Time This Year
Rihanna's crib is becoming a regular route for cops, who rushed there for a break-in late Tuesday night -- the second time someone illegally entered the home this year.
Police responded to RiRi's Hollywood Hills home after an alarm went off around 10:30 PM PT. Neighbors told police they saw as many as 3 suspects fleeing in a silver vehicle after the alarm was triggered.
LAPD swarmed to her house -- and we're told it's unclear if they made off with any loot -- but police say Rihanna was not home at the time.
This is the second break-in and the third time police have responded to her home in force this year.
Her house was burglarized in May, when a man had spent the night. He allegedly told cops he was waiting to have sex with the singer. The suspect was charged with felony stalking and burglary shortly after.
And, you'll recall ... cops also raced to the house just last month after her alarm was accidentally triggered.
Looks like her alarm system got it right this time around. Time to follow in Kendall's footsteps, Ri?

Chris Hemsworth My Dream House ... Is My Neighbors' Nightmare
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are building a monstrosity of a home in Australia ... and the massive building is pissing off tons of people who say it's totally out of place and looks more like a shopping mall.
You can judge for yourself ... but it's easy to see why the Internet is going crazy over Thor's new fortress. There are endless amounts of concrete, a huge chunk of forest missing and it dwarfs everything else in Byron Bay.
Chris and Elsa have been building their dream house for nearly a year -- they've reportedly poured $8 million into the project -- but the colossal compound has become a nightmare for neighbors.
The sprawling estate is expected to feature a huge swimming pool, steam room, gym and a luxury spa. All it's missing is a moat.
Of course, Chris and Elsa probably won't be bothered by residents' concerns ... they won't be able to see or hear 'em from inside the castle walls.

Tyler Perry Takes Care Of His Actors ... Here's a Home for Your Mom!!!
Tyler Perry is the boss you've always wanted, but never had ... because we've learned he gifted a house to the mother of a woman he worked with nearly 20 years ago!!!
Tyler dropped $350,000 on a home in Georgia … and gave it to the ailing mother of LaShun Pace, who worked alongside Tyler on a play all the way back in 1999.
Tyler stays in touch with a lot of his actors ... but this heartwarming story takes the cake. Watch the video and make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.
Tyler and LaShun stayed in touch ever since they worked on a play Perry wrote and co-produced two decades ago ... and his connection to the Pace family runs deep.
LaShun's family makes up a Gospel group (you hear them in the vid), and Tyler put one of their songs in "Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion."
So, when Tyler learned Bettie Pace had fallen ill and her dying wish was to own a home big enough for her large family ... he stepped up and bought a property close to where the Paces were born and raised in Atlanta.
Good looking out, Tyler.

Chief Keef Burglars Open Fire 2 Captured, 1 Gets Away
Chief Keef is damn lucky cops were in his neighborhood, and caught 3 alleged burglars red-handed -- but not before one of them opened fire ... TMZ has learned.
The suspects hopped a wall and threw bricks to break a window at the San Fernando Valley home Sunday around 11:15 PM ... according to law enforcement sources. We're told at least one of them got into the home, and was making off with some of the rapper's loot.
The bad news for the bad guys is LAPD had plainclothes officers patrolling the area due to the rash of burglaries lately. We're told cops intervened to thwart the burglary, and one suspect fired a shot -- which didn't hit anyone -- and then the chase was on. Officers nabbed 2 of the perps, but one managed to flee in a getaway car.
Keef, btw, was home during all of this. Cops went to the house and spoke to him afterward. We're told he had no idea the suspects had gotten into the home.
The 2 guys police captured are being booked on burglary and weapons charges. We're told cops recovered 2 guns.

Drake Best View in the Six ... From My New Ballin' Basement!!!
Drake loves to sit courtside at basketball games and now he's bringing that action to his brand new Toronto mansion with a near-NBA-sized basketball court ... in the basement!
Drake's under-construction pad will be lavish even by his standards because it's got a 15,000 square foot basement. The 6 God's plan for that level alone? Spa surrounded by 2 saunas and a massage room ... pool WITH a hot tub ... and snack lounge suspended ABOVE the b-ball court.
That's a check, check, check and check ... according to Drizzy's building permits filed with the city.
SEPTEMBER 2018
Above ground, it's just as sweet. He's gonna have a rooftop terrace with another hot tub, a sprawling outdoor swimming area flanked by bars and massive projection screens. Translation: Best. House. Party. Ever.
Of course, he'll also have the standards: wine and champagne bar, home theater, recording studio and award ROOM (when a shelf alone won't cut it).
Architect Ferris Rafauli designed the mansion, and it's in the same uber-exclusive neighborhood where Prince once owned a home.

Yasiel Puig Cops Cruising His Hood After 4th Home Burglary
If Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig's house is hit by burglars again ... it won't be because of a lack of effort by cops.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops have significantly increased their presence in the San Fernando Valley area where Puig's home -- and so many others -- have been hit by thieves.
Puig's 4th burglary -- the last one was this week -- was the catalyst for law enforcement to kick things up to nab some of these bad guys.
We broke the story ... LAPD got video footage of the suspects breaking into Puig's home after one of them kicked the front door open. Cops believe there are 3 suspects involved in the latest burglary ... and say they're the same perps who tried to steal his stuff on August 30.
Incredibly, Yasiel had yet another intruder on his property Thursday night ... but the guy isn't believed to be one of the burglars. Puig has a Ring security system set up at his home to get alerts for any visitors, but so far it hasn't been enough to keep thieves away.
Cops are clearly hoping a boost in neighborhood patrols will do the trick.

Drea de Matteo My 'Mom Van' Got Jacked!!!
Drea de Matteo could use some of her old TV mafia ties to, uhh ... y'know, have a little sit down with the mamalukes who jacked her minivan.
Okay, first off ... no one woulda touched Adriana's ride in "The Sopranos" days, 'cause Christopha and Tony woulda cracked 'em good. Now, back in the real world, Drea's Honda Odyssey really was stolen from in front of her Hollywood Hills home ... according to law enforcement sources.
We're told she parked it on the street last month, and it was gone when she came out the next morning. It hasn't been recovered, but cops are still investigating.
It's a big loss for Drea, who has a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. Mom needs something to take the kids to all their activities.
Our advice, Drea ... don't let Uncle Silvio take 'em to soccer practice!

L.A. Dodgers Star Yasiel Puig Another Night ... Another Invasion
It's now borderline incredible ... after 4 home burglaries, ANOTHER person who was up to no good ended up at the home of L.A. Dodgers star Yasiel Puig under sketchy circumstances
It went down Thursday night -- 2 days after burglars had broken into Yasiel's home for the FOURTH TIME.
Yasiel was not home when a dude jumped his fence at 10:45 PM and made it to the front door. For some reason, he rang the doorbell and turns out this time someone was home and answered on the intercom.
The guy asked if a girl was there -- he gave the name, but it wasn't the person inside. There was obviously cause for alarm, so the person inside told the intruder he was calling the cops. That was enough for the intruder to flee the scene.
As for whether the guy who came to the door is one of the burglars who repeatedly hit Yasiel's home ... we're told it was not. He did not fit the description of the burglars.
