La casa de Alex Trebek en Los Ángeles, donde vivió durante décadas, se está transformando en un montón de escombros.
La antigua casa del difunto presentador de "Jeopardy!" en Studio City está siendo demolida esta semana, con excavadoras y bulldozers llevándose la estructura hasta los cimientos.
Es un momento agridulce. Alex vivió allí durante casi tres décadas hasta su muerte en 2020, y se enorgullecía de arreglar todo lo relacionado con ella él mismo. Una vez incluso compró una ferretería entera para hacer unas renovaciones.
Los antiguos vecinos de Alex nos dicen que un muro con una lona se levantó alrededor de la propiedad la semana pasada. El equipo de construcción apareció el fin de semana y comenzaron a arrasar con la casa.
Nos dicen que decenas de máquinas de construcción, grandes camiones y remolques están trabajando en el derribo masivo, y tenemos video y fotos de la demolición.
TMZ dio la noticia. Alex murió en noviembre de 2020 después de una batalla contra el cáncer de páncreas, y lo hizo en esta misma casa.
Como se suele decir, realmente vertió sangre, sudor y lágrimas en este espacio durante décadas.
La esposa de Alex, Jean Trebek, vendió el lugar en enero de 2022 por $6,450,000, y en febrero de 2023 los nuevos propietarios emitieron los permisos de demolición.

Alex Trebek's former home in Los Angeles -- where he lived for decades -- is being transformed into a pile of rubble.
The late "Jeopardy!" host's former estate in Studio City is being demolished this week, with bulldozers and excavators taking the structure to the ground.
It's a bittersweet moment ... Alex lived there for almost three decades until his 2020 death, and he took pride in fixing everything around the home himself and once bought out an entire hardware store for DIY renovations.
Alex's former neighbors tell us a wall with a tarp went up around the property last week, construction equipment showed up over the weekend and crews started razing the home.
We're told dozens of construction machines, big trucks and trailers are working on the massive teardown... and we got video and photos of the demolition.
TMZ broke the story .. Alex died in November 2020 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, passing away in this very home.
He really poured blood, sweat and tears into the house for decades -- and even drove a pickup truck, specifically, because he was constantly going to hardware stores for home improvement supplies.
Alex's wife, Jean Trebek, sold the place in January 2022 for $6,450,000 ... and in February 2023 the new owners were issued permits for demolition.

Kanye West demandado Quería una casa sin ventanas ni luz eléctrica... Alega un empleado despedido
Kanye West tenía al director del proyecto de remodelación de su casa de Malibú durmiendo en el suelo, y lo despidió luego de tener un desacuerdo sobre eliminar o no todas las ventanas de la casa y la electricidad. Esto, de acuerdo a una nueva demanda
Ye está siendo demandado por un hombre llamado Tony Saxon, quien afirma que Yeezy lo contrató en septiembre de 2021 como gerente de proyecto, cuidador y guardia de seguridad 24/7 de la propiedad del magnate en Malibú.
Según la demanda obtenida por TMZ, Saxon asegura que trabajaba 16 horas algunos días y dormía en el suelo mientras coordinaba la remodelación de Kanye. Y añade que a Ye no le podía importar menos que literalmente usara un abrigo como ropa de cama improvisada.
En los documentos, Saxon dice que Kanye ignoró todas sus preocupaciones y solo le pagó por una semana de trabajo hasta que las cosas llegaron a un punto crítico en noviembre de 2021, cuando Ye le exigió quitar todas las ventanas de la casa y la electricidad.
Saxon dice que "expresó su preocupación por el peligro extremo de tales acciones", pero afirma que Kanye levantó la voz e insistió en mover grandes generadores dentro de la casa, lo que podría conducir a un peligro de incendio, según alegaba Taxon.
En la demanda, Saxon afirma que Kanye lo amenazó y le dijo que sería considerado "un enemigo" si no accedía a sus demandas. Saxon no cedió y Kanye le dijo que "se largara".
Saxon también dice que Ye le dijo: "Si no haces lo que digo, no vas a trabajar para mí, no voy a ser tu amigo nunca más y solo me verás en televisión". Taxon le dijo que no veía televisión y fue despedido en el acto.
El tipo está demandando a Kanye por varias violaciones del código laboral, salarios no pagados y además va tras Yeezy por daños y perjuicios.
Kanye West Sued He Wanted Home Without Windows, Electricity ... Employee Claims He Was Fired for Not Complying
Kanye West had the project manager overseeing the remodel of his Malibu home sleeping on the floor, and fired the guy over a disagreement about removing all the home's windows and electricity ... this according to a new lawsuit.
Ye is being sued by a man named Tony Saxon, who claims Yeezy hired him back in September 2021 as project manager, caretaker and 24/7 security for the mogul's Malibu property.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Saxon claims he was working 16-hour days and sleeping on the floor while coordinating Kanye's remodel ... and he says Ye couldn't care less that he was literally using a coat as makeshift bedding.
In the docs, Saxon says Kanye ignored all of his concerns and only paid him for one week of work until things reached a head in November 2021 when Saxon claims Ye demanded Saxon remove all the home's windows and electricity.
Saxon says he "expressed concerns about the extreme danger of such actions" ... but he claims Kanye raised his voice and then insisted on moving large generators inside the house, which Saxon worried would potentially lead to a fire hazard.
In the suit, Saxon claims Kanye threatened him and said he would be considered "an enemy" if he didn't comply with the demands. Saxon says he wouldn't budge and Kanye told him to "get the hell out."
Saxon also says Ye told him, "If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me, I'm not gonna be your friend anymore and you'll just see me on TV." He says he told Ye he didn't watch TV and was fired on the spot.
The guy's suing Kanye for various labor code violations ... and he's going after Yeezy for unpaid wages, plus damages.

Icónica casa de "Brady Bunch" Encuentra a un nuevo dueño
La famosa casa de la sitcom "Brady Bunch" está finalmente a la venta y en posesión de un nuevo propietario, que también conoce muy de cerca el negocio de la televisión y consiguió esta joya por una ganga.
El agente de bienes raíces de Compass, Danny Brown, quien llevó a cabo las transacciones en nombre de HGTV, le dice a TMZ que la propiedad de North Hollywood acaba de venderse, por una suma de $3,2 millones. El canal había estado tratando de vender el lugar durante todo el verano.
La nueva propietaria es la coleccionista de casas ricas Tina Trahan, quien está casada con el ex jefe de HBO Chris Albrecht. Se trata de un excelente trato, pues Trahan se ahorró una fortuna si consideramos lo que la cadena estaba pidiendo originalmente por la propiedad.
Recuerden que cuando este inmueble salió primero a la venta en mayo, HGTV lo había listado en $5,5 millones. Esto, después de haberlo comprado por $3,5 millones en 2018 para su serie, "A Very Brady Renovation".
HGTV no solo no se acercó ni remotamente a lo que quería inicialmente, sino que la red parece haber hecho la pérdida de la casa. Esperemos que los índices de audiencia del programa hayan valido la pena, pues trabajaron mucho en esta casa, tanto por dentro como por fuera.
Como sabrán, en la famosa comedia sólo se utilizó el exterior de la casa y la mayoría de las escenas interiores se rodaron en un plató.
La premisa de esta serie de HGTV, sin embargo, era hacer que el interior de la casa coincidiera con lo que la gente veía en la televisión, y lo lograron desembolsando una buena cantidad de dinero en rehacer completamente el lugar. Es por eso que su precio de liquidación es interesante.
No obstante, Danny está emocionado: "Este fue el acuerdo más loco de mi carrera. No hay manera de comparar una casa como esta. ¿Voy a comparar a la casa de 'Solo en casa' o la casa de Larry David en 'Curb'? En última instancia, fue al comprador adecuado. Un coleccionista que la utilizará para eventos y recaudaciones de fondos y será el administrador de una pieza icónica de la historia de la cultura pop".
'Brady Bunch' House Finds New TV-Adjacent Owner ...
The famous "Brady Bunch" house is finally off the market and in the possession of a new owner -- who's also well-versed in the TV biz, and who got this puppy for a steal.
Compass real estate agent Danny Brown -- who held this listing on behalf of HGTV, which had been trying to sell this place all throughout the summer -- tells TMZ ... the North Hollywood property just closed escrow, and went for a cool $3.2 million.
The new title holder ... wealthy home collector Tina Trahan, who's married to ex-HBO chief Chris Albrecht. It's a Home Box Office deal, indeed -- 'cause Trahan saved a fortune based on what the network was originally asking for the property.
Remember, when this pad first went up for grabs in May ... HGTV had listed it at $5.5 million -- this after they'd bought it in 2018 for $3.5 mil for their series, "A Very Brady Renovation."
Not only did HGTV not come anywhere close to what it initially wanted, but the network actually appears to have taken a loss on the home. Here's hoping the ratings for their show paid off, 'cause HGTV did a ton of work on this place, inside and out.
As you might know, it was actually just the exterior of this home that was used in the famous sitcom back then -- with most of the interior scenes being shot on a sound stage.
The whole premise of this HGTV series, though, was to make the interior of this house match what people saw on TV ... and they pulled it off and then some, pouring a fair amount of dough into completely redoing the place. That's why their settling price is interesting.
Nonetheless, Danny's stoked -- saying, "This was the craziest deal of my career. There is no way to comp a house like this. Am I going to compare to the 'Home Alone' house or Larry David's house on 'Curb?' Ultimately it went to the right buyer. A collector who will use it for events and fundraisers and be the steward of an iconic piece of pop culture history."

Blueface Child Services Called Over Video With Strippers, Son

Blueface videos showing his young son hanging around exotic dancers at home are getting a lot of attention ... including from cops and the Department of Children and Family Services.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... sheriff's deputies have been called to the rapper's Los Angeles-area home a whopping NINE times since May, with the most serious call for a DCFS investigation into Blueface bringing strippers around his kids.
After Blueface posted footage of him asking his son if he was gay while women stripped in a nearby room, we're told DCFS got wind of the video and launched an investigation, which led to sheriff's deputies being called to the home.
We're told Blueface still has his son, and it sounds like the DCFS investigation hasn't moved forward ... in part, because no one answered the door or picked up the phone when deputies were called to the house.
Law enforcement tells us other calls to the house include noise complaints for loud music and barking dogs.
So, cops frequent Blueface's place a lot ... but the stripper videos with his son are the most concerning.
Over at Blueface's party house in the San Fernando Valley, we're told cops have been there multiple times about parties and fights ... with Blue's neighbors making the complaints.
As for Blueface's alarming videos with his kids, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services won't comment on specific cases, but tells TMZ ... the safety and well-being of the county's 2 million children and youth is its highest priority.

The house where Jamie Lee Curtis' character from "Halloween" once lived is up for sale ... and a true horror fan can get the keys -- if they have a decent chunk of change to spend.

Gisele Bündchen is expanding her real estate portfolio, plunking down 7 figures for a sprawling Florida property with a soccer field and an equestrian ring ... and her jiu-jitsu pal Joaquim Valente's sister-in-law helped close the deal.
According to real estate records, the supermodel dropped $9.1 million on the 9-bedroom estate in Southwest Ranches, an affluent area about 30 miles northwest of Miami.
Gisele's new property is 5,183 square feet of pure luxury ... and some of the highlights include a full-size soccer field, infinity pool, hot tub, tennis courts and plenty of space to ride horses.
The grounds feature a state-of-the-art equestrian rink, with 10 large horse stalls. Remember, Gisele is big into horse riding, and so are her kids with ex-husband Tom Brady. She's also gone horseback riding with Joaquim in Costa Rica.
The property sits on 7.5 acres and there's an outdoor kitchen with a hibachi grill, pizza oven, BBQ pit and a wine fridge.
Inside, the first-floor master suite includes a private sitting area, bathroom and a walk-in closet ... and there's a floating glass staircase leading to the rest of the home. The gourmet kitchen has quartz countertops imported from Italy, plus an oversized island with a breakfast bar.
Gisele also owns another home in South Florida, an $11.5 million mansion in Miami Beach ... right across the water from where Tom's building his new place.
Chad Bishop and Saddy Abaunza Delgado with ONE Sotheby's International Realty repped the seller ... and Gisele was repped by Laura Valente with Global Luxury Realty LLC.
Gisele and Joaquim haven't confirmed their rumored relationship ... but they're often seen together, and he picked her up from the airport at the crack of dawn.
Now, Gisele is using his in-law as a real estate agent, which means a pretty big commission for Laura. Great way to get tight with the fam!

Meghan & Harry House Hunting in Malibu ... Eyeing Spectacular Estate

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are house hunting again ... and this time they're eyeing a pricey slice of paradise in Malibu, where a brand new mansion is going up.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent part of their holiday weekend touring an $8 million plot of land in the 'Bu.
Our sources say Meghan and Harry checked out an estate, that's almost 6 acres. There's already a guard house at the front of the property, plus a huge pool ... and the foundation is laid for a 10,000-square-foot main residence.
The property sits above PCH and overlooks Broad Beach, and it's super secluded and private -- there's a gate and a long driveway up to where the main house would sit -- and we're told that's part of the draw for Meghan and Harry.
Our sources say the asking price is $8 million ... plans for the main house have already been approved and a construction crew is in place. If Harry and Meghan buy the lot, they can assume the costs of construction, estimated at another $10 million.
Meghan and Harry currently live in a $14 million mansion in Montecito, which is pretty far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood ... and the Malibu property is about 13 miles from celeb hot spot Nobu, and less than an hour drive from L.A. and Beverly Hills.
Our sources say M&H are talking about selling their Montecito home and moving to Malibu full-time. It's close enough to Hollywood for them to do business, but far enough from Hollywood to give them security and privacy.
We did some digging and it appears Brendan Brown at Westside Estate Agency reps the property. We reached out to Brendan, so far no word back.

Paris Jackson claims a guy who allegedly stalked her for years climbed a fence at her property and peeped in her windows ... and now she says she's terrified and wants help.
The singer took steps to protect herself two days after police were called to her Los Angeles area home after she claimed an intruder was spotted hanging around her backyard ... beelining it to court to get a restraining order against the guy.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Paris claims the guy showed up at her home Aug 23 scaling the fence before peering through her windows ... but she says she doesn't know him and he's actually appeared at her place before and was once arrested there.
TMZ broke the story ... Paris' friend confronted the alleged intruder in the backyard but the guy took off before cops arrived.

Our law enforcement sources tells us they took another report of a man showing up to her home two days after she filed for a restraining order ... this time she said the guy walked up to her front door, but she wasn't home.

Kroy Biermann Wants to Sell $3M Home With Kim ... 'Financial Situation Dire!!!'
Kim Zolciak's estranged husband Kroy Biermann has filed new docs in their ongoing divorce saga ... and now he's asking the judge for permission to sell their Georgia home, ASAP.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kroy's asking for an emergency hearing to authorize selling the $3 million family pad, citing their serious financial troubles.
The sale of the house -- where he says they've lived for their entire marriage -- could help cover what Kroy describes as "significant debt" they've built up over the years. He even mentions how he sold some of his stuff just to cobble together mortgage payments, and avoid a foreclosure auction earlier this year.
Kroy, through his lawyer, Marlys A. Bergstrom, says despite the "financial devastation" Kim brought to their family, he continued to make monthly payments on the place to hold off the auction ... but says it was a struggle every month.
The former NFL player claims he sold some of his designer backpacks, and other personal items to help come up with the dough, and even begged Kim to sell her purses -- something he says she refused to do.
Well, he admits she did sell some things, but he adds this dig ... "Ironically, she has been selling purses, hers and her daughters' and other high end fashion items including her infamous wigs. However, none of the funds garnered from the sale of these items have gone towards the mortgage, or any other bills."
Kroy says they weren't able to make July's mortgage payment, and are again facing the looming threat of foreclosure ... which is why he's begging a judge to let them try to sell the house as soon as possible.

Divorcio de Kevin Costner Christine testifica ... Ese no era mi novio en Hawái
Christine Baumgartner dice que Kevin Costner está completamente equivocado: el hombre que le dio $20k, que resulta ser amigo también de Kevin, no es su novio.
Christine testificó durante la audiencia de divorcio este jueves en Santa Bárbara y se refirió a su viaje a Hawái en julio, donde fue fotografiada con Josh Connor.
Como informamos, Josh es un viejo amigo de Kevin y Christine, y fuentes cercanas a ambos nos dijeron que no estaban saliendo.
Ella lo confirmó en el estrado, diciendo a bocajarro que Josh no es su novio y que mientras estaba en Hawai compartió habitación con una buena amiga desde hace mucho tiempo.
TMZ publicó la noticia ... Kevin se refirió a Christine diciendo que había recibido 20.000 dólares de "su novio" ... y Christine testificó que Josh le dio esa suma porque estaba preocupada por el dinero. Con lágrimas en los ojos dijo que le dio 10 mil dólares a su madre, y finalmente devolvió los otros 10 mil dólares a Josh.
También habló del alquiler de 40 mil dólares al mes en Montecito. Su abogado le preguntó cuán cerca está del agua, y Christine dijo: "No se puede ir andando con una tabla de surf".
Como informamos por primera vez, Christine se quejó en los documentos, que la casa de alquiler se encuentra en el lado de la montaña de la autopista sin vistas panorámicas o acceso a la playa. Ella testificó que sólo la alquila por 6 meses porque no sabe cuál será el resultado del divorcio.
