Step into Owen Wilson's shoes for just a moment, and imagine how it feels to walk out of your home to this scene -- your luxurious Tesla, freshly stripped by thieves! 😬
We got this shot of Owen's Tesla gently placed on blocks, after the crooks made off with all 4 tires and rims -- leaving him with no way to even drive his car to get it repaired. And, to make matters worse, it all happened while his car was parked right outside his Santa Monica house.
Luckily, the car didn't appear to have any other damages, but we're told he's gonna have to cough up an estimated $4k for the missing wheels. We're sure his insurance broker appreciates the paperwork.

Cops have opened a grand theft investigation, but so far no word on suspects.

Ben and Jen Signs Point to Massive Home Purchase Unconfirmed, but Interesting!!!

Jennifer Lopez's car was spotted Thursday at a massive estate in Beverly Hills. There are also 4 moving trucks outside the estate -- and there were moving trucks Thursday at both Ben and Jen's current homes in the L.A. area.
We know J Lo and fiancé Ben Affleck have been on the hunt for a new home for months. We cannot confirm they bought this house, but there's sure a lot of smoke!
The estate is massive ... we're told it has everything you could want inside, including a proper movie theatre, more than enough bedrooms for the brood ... you name it, it's there.
James Packer -- formerly the fiancé of Mariah Carey -- has owned the house for years ... we're told he bought it for around $60 million. It was previously owned by Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.
Here's the mystery. The house was not listed for sale. Our very plugged in real estate sources say it hasn't even been shown off market, except maybe to Ben and Jen.
Given real estate prices in L.A., it's almost certain the house would go for more than $60 million. Ben and Jen have looked at a ton of houses ... some in a price range north of $85 million, so this seems to be within the target.
We'll let you know for sure if we confirm, but like we said ... lots of smoke.

Betty White's longtime home in Los Angeles where the Hollywood icon was living at the time of her death has sold for more than its asking price.
The 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom Brentwood property was listed at $10.575 million and sold for $10.678 million. The backyard comes complete with a swimming pool and beautiful views of The Getty Museum.
Sources connected to the sale tell us there were several offers on the home, and while it's not yet clear who the buyer was, we're told it's not another celebrity.
As we reported, those interested in the home first had to be prequalified, and were not allowed inside ... so almost safe to say it could be torn down for a new build.
Betty spent most of her life there, first moving in in 1968 -- and living there until her death on New Year's Eve 2021.
The home was full of history, and it was said Betty and her late husband, Allen Ludden, spent many nights in the guest house playing charades with friends like Jimmy and Gloria Stewart, and Dinah Shore.

Len Wiseman Man Posing As Food Delivery Guy Used My Jacuzzi!!!

Famed filmmaker Len Wiseman is getting court-ordered protection from a man he claims keeps showing up to his home, even once posing as a delivery man and using his outdoor spa.
Kate Beckinsale's ex-husband beelined it to court this week and got a temporary restraining order against a 29-year-old man named Jose Lamas, whom Len claims is getting way too comfortable popping up on his property without an invitation.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Len claims Lamas recently showed up unannounced at his Laurel Canyon estate, buzzing the front gate and posing as a Postmates delivery man.
Len says when he told the guy over the intercom to scram, Lamas walked around the property and opened a side gate to the backyard, tried to get inside the home and then stripped down to his boxers and got in the jacuzzi.
Len says the guy stayed in the hot tub for 45 minutes ... leaving only when cops showed up and arrested him.
It sounds crazy ... Len says there's surveillance showing Lamas at his house the day before the spa incident ... adding Lamas has been sending him threats on social media.
Among the alleged messages Lamas sent Len on Instagram ... "you are a stupid a** piece of f****** s***" and "come and get some, I will beat you to a pulp."
Len says the guy even reached out to him a couple days after the jacuzzi incident, sending him this message ... "I am sorry to bother you. I am a stone cold loser and I swear I will never bother you again."
But, Len says Lamas did bother him again ... claiming the guy showed up at his home a third time, rattling the front gate and again trying to gain entry.
Len says when cops arrested Lamas for the jacuzzi romp, the guy told officers he was Len's father and he played basketball for the Lakers.
Len says he now fears for his safety ... and a judge signed off on a temporary restraining order, requiring Lamas to stay at least 100 yards away from him and to refrain from contacting Len in any way. There's a hearing set for next month.

"General Hospital" star Kelly Monaco had some bad luck on Friday the 13th ... her home went up in flames, thanks to a cigarette that ignited the blaze.
Kelly tells TMZ ... she woke up late Friday morning to a fire raging on her front yard, with flames licking her windows. The flames quickly engulfed portions of the house.
Kelly was able to escape ... but the house did not fare well. The blaze caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages to her Sherman Oaks home. It won't be livable for quite a while.
Kelly says she turned her security footage over to law enforcement and we're told arson investigators were able to determine the fire was started by someone tossing a lit cigarette butt on the empty lot next to her home. The investigators believe the fire was not started intentionally.
Talk about bad luck on Friday the 13th.
Kelly, who has appeared on soap operas for 22 years and counting, says she's been a part of some pretty wild stories on set ... but none of the scripts compare to living through a massive fire at her home.
She's got a message now that she's come face-to-face with flames ... "Something as little as a cigarette butt can cause casualties and devastation."
True that.

Randall Emmett Lists House He Shared with Lala

Randall Emmett is working to eliminate a major source of memories in his relationship with Lala Kent ... listing the house they once called home for sale.
The producer is parting ways with the 4 bed, 4 bathroom house he and his ex-fiancée used to live in together. Randall's asking $6.295 million for the home -- which comes complete with a swimming pool, entertainer's kitchen and pickle-ball court in the backyard.
A source familiar with the situation tells us Randall is simply looking for a bigger home for his family ... he bought it several years ago and remodeled a lot of the home, so he should definitely make a decent profit.
TMZ broke the story -- the two ended their 3-year engagement back in October -- with Lala moving out of the home. While the couple had several ups and downs in their relationship, we were told the October split was the final straw ... and that's proven true.
Randall had 2 children from a previous relationship, but he and Lala had welcomed a daughter, named Ocean, together in the months before their split.
While the couple's relationship was heavily covered on "Vanderpump Rules" things got pretty messy near the end, with allegations of cheating. Clearly, there were trust issues between the two as well, Lala recently said on her podcast, "The only truth I feel that existed in my relationship was me and my daughter Ocean. That is where the truth ended. That is a hard pill to swallow.”
The listing is held by David T. Kessler & Sasha Kaplan Pollak at Coldwell Banker Realty.

French Montana just got screwed by his pooch -- because a jury just awarded his pool guy a bunch of money over French's dog biting the man.
A California jury found French's German Shepherd, Zane, was the culprit in the gnarly attack against Juan Lomeli -- the dude who sued FM way back in 2018.
You'll recall ... Lomeli alleged at the time French's pet lost it on him while he was doing his job on the grounds, lunging at him and sinking its teeth into his arm, causing a nasty and painful injury.
Lomeli -- who was represented by attorney Brad Wallace -- testified the injuries were severe enough for him to miss a substantial amount of time working ... which he claimed cost him serious dough he would've otherwise made.
Looks like this case has been working its way through the legal system ... and now, a jury has weighed in -- awarding Lomeli a whopping $129,500 in damages.
Here's how the judgment breaks down -- $39,500 in past economic loss, $60k in non-economic loss (pain/suffering etc.), and another $30k for future non-economic loss.
BTW ... French still has Zane. Maybe it's true -- every dog is entitled to one bite, but this one ain't free.
