TomKat Neighbors Up With the Beckham’s

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been in the market for a new home ever since the birth of their daughter, Suri Cruise.  Unfortunately, there has been nothing for sale that the celebrity couple felt they could call home.  So, instead of continuing to look at other homes for sale, Cruise decided to make an offer on a place that wasn’t even up for sale.

Cruise, who has been renting for the past four years, paid an estimated $35 million for the family’s new estate.  This offer was in such excess of the market price that the current owners had no choice but to sell their home to the Hollywood superstar couple. 

50 Cent Selling Multi-Million-Dollar Mansion

If you have ever wanted to live in Connecticut, now might be the time to act on your aspirations.  That is, if you have $10 million to throw at some new digs.

Back in 2003, rapper 50 Cent bought a 48,000 square foot estate for $4.1 million and tossed another $6 million into it over the past few years.  He put in a helipad, and renovated the mansion top to bottom. 

Pete Wentz Boasts New Bar

New York’s East Village has long been the haven for the downtrodden artist, punk rocker, and dive club. But with CBGB’s closing recently, where can the average emo kid get a drink?  The answer is in the hands of Pete Wentz!

Fall Out Boy’s bassist/lyricist has joined forces with Gym Class Hero’s singer Travis McCoy and Yellow Fever clothing designer Jamison Ernest to open Angels and Kings.  Wentz reportedly wants his bar to be a “place for losers.”

The Beckham’s New $22 Million LA Mansion

Despite recent feuding, the Beckhams are moving in down the street from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. After viewing more than 30 properties in Beverly Hills, Victoria and David finally settled on a six-bedroom “trophy estate”, priced at $22 million.

According to Hello! magazine, “Set in a 13,000-square-foot plot, the Italian-style mansion will be Victoria and David’s base when the Real Madrid player moves to LA Galaxy. The modern interior features a mixture of hardwood and slate floors with six fireplaces and full air-conditioning. And there should be no squabbles about who gets to use the shower first - the house has nine bathrooms.”

Neverland’s Fate Up In The Air

Neverland may be never more. It appears that after 2 years, there is finally interest in the estate once roamed by Michael Jackson and a host of other creatures.

According to Page Six reports, “the “King of Pop” quietly put the sprawling, 2,700-acre Santa Barbara estate on the market several years ago to help pay off $200 million in debt - but there were no takers for the tacky ranch until now.”
