UPDATE: Tommy Hilfiger 2008-04-23 05:43:38 The gurls at Newsday are reporting that Hippity Hop TommyHilfiger
, a middle aged white man who made bazillions of dollars selling sorta upscale and banal sportswear to middle America, has done sold his Hamptons hideaway.Those children who have been with Your Mama from the get-go might recall that we discussed the ocean front spread in East Hampton back when we first started our little blog in mid December of 2006. The 5 bedroom and 5.5 bathroom house–with interiors done at least partially by a tall good looking drink of water named Jason Lambeth–was being offered for sale at $24,500,000.Your Mama discussed the property again in mid-August after Braden Keil at the NY Post blabbed that Miss Mariah Carey, known for those ear splitting whistle stops and ho-ish outfits (sorry gurl, but you Read more:Tommy Hilfiger

Ellen and Portia Move On Up to The Beverly Hills 2008-04-23 05:40:22 Oh Ellen
. Your Mama is always so impressed with your inspired choices of homes. First it was the somewhat modest and secluded place on Lime Orchard Road in BeverlyHills
where the fast fading singer/reality star Jessica Simpson now lives the tabloid life of a sad single woman on the hunt for a marriageable man.Then it was that trio of lovelies up on Woodrow Wilson Drive and Woodstock Road that you sold off to a trio of celebrities (Heath Ledger, Will Ferrell and some big chested soap stud).Then there were the casually sophisticated ranches in the Santa Ynez Valley that had just about every design queen wanting to strap on a pair of chaps and herd the sheep. And let's not forget the well groomed George Washington Smith designed stunner around the corner from Oprah's fiefdom in Montecito tha Read more:Portia

Those Lucky Bommers 2008-04-23 05:38:32 Buckle yer seat belts babies because Your Mama is feeling particularly long winded today. So grab yourself a steaming cup of coffee, a cute little gin and tonic or whatever it is that you drink to get you through the day, sit back and let Your Mama take you on up to the Upper East Side where some of Manhattan's most moneyed shack up in co-ops and condominiums that cost more than the GDP of some small countries.Your Mama is tuckered out and plum tarhd of hearing all the sniping and griping in the (New York) media about how hedge funds are in crisis and that Wall Street bonuses are going to be down this year which means that all the good people in real estate are going to go without food and water next year because Wall Streeters simply won't have the extra coin to pay cash for a 3,500 squar
Inside Ellen's House 2008-04-23 05:37:01 No babies, we don't have slick and pornographic photos of the inside of Ellen
and Portia's new house in the Hills of Beverly. We'd love them, but alas.However, thanks to an inspired and generous commenter, we're able to provide a YouTube video clip from Ellen's television gab fest that shows the talk show titan getting ready for the Emmy's in her new house. While we might consider selling one of Sister Woman's children for a full scale peep, we happily make do with brief glimpses of a prison gray bedroom with a lush garden outside the wall sized picture window, what appears to be a make up area in the master bathroom, and a few shots of the cavernous living room with its twin overstuffed white sofas, concert grand piano, two fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows.Surprisingly, Read more:House

UPDATE: Palazzo Chupi 2008-04-23 05:35:17 There has been a lot of speculation and rumor about just who is buying into egolicious artist Julian Schnabel's pinky red behemoth in the West Village, a controversial and ornate building that Your Mama happens to love not for it's missing beauty marks, but simply because it flips the proverbial bird at all the lovely but ubiquitous glass towers that have and continue to sprout all up and down the far West Side of Manhattan.What a nice change of pace to get something loaded with pizazz and personality versus one of these banal Costas Kondylis monstrosities or yet another gorgeous, sleek and minimalist glass things by Richard Meier or Winka Dubbeldam.First, some stinking rich banking dude name William J.B. Brady bought one of the units, then aging sexy man Richard Gere and his wifey Carrie Read more:Palazzo
Madonna Burning Up Over Co-op Rejection 2008-04-23 05:32:56 Although most of the time Madonna
and Guy Ritchie reside in London where they are rumored to own as many as six townhouses in the Marylebone area, it's long been rumored and reported that she and the Mister are looking to expand their real estate empire in the Big Apple.The Kabbalah Kween has long called Harperley Hall her New York City base, a second tier building on Central Park West where the material girl first purchased a co-operative apartment back when she was married to actor Sean Penn.Now puppies, before we get scad of emails and phone calls, don't misunderstand Your Mama. We are not saying Harperley Hall is a pile of shit. It's a lovely full service building with well scaled pre-war apartments overlooking the park. It is not, however, The Dakota or The Beresford or even the San R Read more:Burning
Crime and Misdemeanors in LA 2008-04-23 05:32:11 Since this blog is really meant to be a discussion about celebrity real estate, we would normally leave a discussion about crime statistics to the fine folks over at Curbed LA or one of the other many real estate blogs focussed on life in LA. However, since there has been so much chatter and commentary on this blog over the last six months about crime levels and popo response time in the Hancock Park area, we thought we'd tackle the issue head on this morning.Some say the area is perfectly safe while others say it's a lawless ghetto where homeless people crap on your lawn and hooligans run wild and unchecked by the LAPD. So naturally, being the curious and nosy type that we are, we wanted to know...what are the real crime statistics?Your Mama, with the help of the always helpful Lucy Spill
More Real Estate Woes For Michael Jackson 2008-04-23 05:31:00 As MichaelJackson
's Neverland Ranch steamrolls towards a January 19th foreclosure and he shacks up and squats with various family friends and benefactors around the country, there's even more bad news on his real estate horizon.Mister Roger Friedman at Fox News, who always has the most current and salacious gossip about The White Lady, reported late last week that according to the L.A. County Treasurer, the long time Jackson family home on Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino CA is in tax default to the tune of $16,283 and ten damn cents.Jackson, who is the owner of record on the 10,476 square foot house, is required to pay the tax debt or the County is sure to take whatever steps are required to recover the back taxes. It's one thing to screw with the banks children, but it's another foolish ope Read more:Estate

UPDATE: Ellen Degeneres 2008-04-23 05:29:15 By now, all the children surely know that talk show queen and real estate maven Ellen
Degeneres and her horse loving ladee pal Portia Di Rossi recently purchased a freshly built Bev Hills mansion from ridiculously rich and successful Will and Grace co-creator Max Mutchnick and his entertainment attorney huzband Erik Hyman.Your Mama hears the somewhat secretive purchase was a hot topic in the swanky salons and better brokerages all up and down Sunset Boulevard, at least in part because no real estate agents were used in the transaction. Over the last few weeks, several informants and tipsters have quietly called and contacted Your Mama with all sorts of interesting tidbits from the gossip grapevine.In addition to the newly built 8,500+ square foot main house, the private and very well secur Read more:Ellen Degeneres
UPDATE: Natalie Imbruglia 2008-04-23 05:28:36 Way back in the third week of April Your Mama discussed the Hollywood Hills home of singer NatalieImbruglia
which at the time was on the market for $4,500,000. We're not even sure that native Australian Miz Imbruglia, who reportedly owns several homes all over the world, even lived in the house. Whatever the case, as Mister Big Time reported earlier today, Miz Imbruglia finally sold the 5,434 square foot house on St. Ives Drive for $3,725,000.Although Your Mama does not have much additional report on the details of the sale, we did hear from a well placed source yesterday who whispered to Your Mama that the house was purchased by a Mexican heiress who dabbles in the film bizness. Apparently the heiress does not swim because unfortunately there is no swimming pool and if Your Mama has said Read more:Natalie Imbruglia
Your Mama Hears... 2008-04-23 05:28:18 ...from an unconfirmed source that English actor, car crasher, and practicing Buddhist Orlando Bloom recently painted his newly renovated house on Outpost Drive black. Yes, children, black. Oh dear. Bet the neighbors are thrilled. Yes puppies, black houses can be quite stylish...there's a natty and snazzy black shingled house around the corner from Your Mama's beach house that impresses us greatly. But considering that Mister Bloom's house is a sprawling ranch house with a blue tile roof, Your Mama is deeply concerned his house will look like a big damn bruise if indeed it's been painted black.Property records show that Mister Bloom quietly purchased his 3,248 square foot house earlier in the year for $2,750,000 from the estate of a prominent civil rights attorney named Melanie Lomax, who

Your Mama Hears... 2008-04-23 05:27:20 ...that flowy fabric luvvin' singing sensation Stevie Nicks has quietly put her palatial Pacific Palisades mansion on the market for around $14,000,000.Miz Nicks purchased the 7,178 square foot Southern Colonial style house in June of 2005. Property records do not reveal the purchase price, however, Riley Realtor, one of Your Mama's obscenely well connected sources, tell us that Miz Nicks paid $9,000,000 for the gated and secured 1.2 acre property and then proceeded to remodel the library making it a double height space.The party line, according to the Arizona Republic, is that Miz Nicks is selling because she wants to downsize and is moving to a "rock and roll penthouse" in Santa Monica where the still touring singer/songwriter can work without worrying "if the pool is taken care of and [

UPDATE: Stevie Nicks 2008-04-23 05:25:53 Following up on our earlier discussion about Miz Stevie
Nicks, Your Mama just received word from a gentleman we'll call The Cactus Pusher who informed us that the tambourine shaking singer's Paradise Valley house has been sold for $3,000,000The Cactus Pusher was kind enough to send along paper work that clearly shows the property was originally priced at $3,800,000, later reduced to $3,300,000 and that the sale closed on December 12, just two days ago. Lawhd children, the money has probably not even hit Miz Nicks' bank account yet.
