Ellen DeGeneres’s new house atop Trousdale Estates

Posted on 28/09/2018 at 11:28 AM

Yolanda is down for the count today with severe food poisoning. We warned her that $7.99 lunch buffet was too good to be true. Anyway, you have her friend and confidante U.N. Owen at the reins of this website today. This story will be uncharacteristically brief, but we wanted to give y’all a tasty morsel […]

Fajer Fahad spends $8.7 million in Holmby Hills

Posted on 27/09/2018 at 10:54 AM09/27/2018

Full disclosure: this transaction actually went down several months ago. We planned to write about it back then but for whatever reason kept putting it off, so here the ol’ gurl is today playing catch-up. Apologies. Anyway, we think this story will still be of particular interest to y’all for a couple reasons. For one, […]

NFL star Brandin Cooks coughs up $5.5 million in Hidden Hills

Posted on 25/09/2018 at 10:33 AM

A kind-hearted little birdie swooped by the other day and pointed Yolanda to a fully-renovated ranch house in Hidden Hills, way out in the San Fernando Valley. For those of y’all who may not know, Hidden Hills is a completely gated city of approximately 600 homes, many of them set on large, multi-acre properties. Back […]

Holly Madison forks out $8.7 million for some Windsor Square history

Posted on 23/09/2018 at 4:18 PM

It’s been awhile since we’ve written about a house in the historic Hancock Park/Windsor Square neighborhood of Los Angeles. That’s poor taste on our part because the mansions there are some of the most beautiful in the city. Think grand old dames chock-full of style, memories, and ghosts of the party days of yore. Windsor […]

Michelle Pfeiffer drops $7.7 million on the Palisades house next door

Posted on 20/09/2018 at 8:37 PM

She may be best-known for her roles in iconic films like Grease 2, Scarface, and Batman Returns, but Michelle Pfeiffer is also a high-end real estate connoisseur with a taste for expansive (and expensive) compound living. As y’all may know, Ms. Pfeiffer paid $8.15 million back in a 2016 off-market deal for a nice but […]

Beverly Park’s Villa Firenze officially lists at $165 million

Posted on 20/09/2018 at 8:35 AM09/20/2018

We know everyone always loves reading about Beverly Park, so we just couldn’t resist straying from our usual tack and heading back up that hill once again. See those pearly gates in the distance, just above the clouds? Yes, mortals, that’s Beverly Park. Although it has been quietly shopped around off-market for a decade or more, […]

James Packer spends $60 million (or so) on the old Danny DeVito estate

Posted on 17/09/2018 at 11:07 AM

Thanks to a reader tip, we have learned that a very expensive real estate transaction went down last month (August 2018) in the city of Beverly Hills. Quietly, of course. The buyer is Australian billionaire James Packer and the compound was long owned by Hollywood actors Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, though they sold off the […]

Todd Blue drops millions on Malibu’s fanciest garage

Posted on 16/09/2018 at 9:45 AM

Sometimes you never know what’s lurking behind a gate. A boon of being well-to-do is that one can afford to indulge one’s passions in ways mere financial mortals cannot. That’s part of why we enjoy writing about high-end real estate — every custom-built property tells a unique, occasionally offbeat story about the personalities and quirks […]

Richard & Liane Weintraub gear up to spend $23 million in Malibu

Posted on 06/09/2018 at 12:30 PM09/06/2018

As summer 2018 slips away like so much sand through the proverbial hourglass, we wanted to catch the last wisps of freedom before they fleet off into the night, stolen by autumn — with winter close behind. But really, who are we kidding? This is LA. It’s summer 365 days a year here, for better […]

Sam Worthington ponies up nearly $8 million in the Bird Streets

Posted on 05/09/2018 at 11:59 AM09/05/2018

Some time ago, we received an email from a reader. Let’s call this reader Amy because, well, that’s her name. Anyway, Amy wanted to know more information about a rather fetching house set in the Hollywood foothills, conveniently just above the ever-trendy Sunset Strip. This house was celebrity-owned and recently sold for nearly $8 million […]
