			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/15/ellen-degeneres-ryan-seacrest-house-purchase-49-million/">According to gossip machine TMZ</a>, Hollywood’s hardest-working businessman Ryan Seacrest has officially swooped in on <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/3053368170-Multi-Family-Home-Beverly-Hills-CA">Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi&#8217;s former Beverly Hills digs for $37M</a>. <a href="http://luxe.truliablog.com/2011/12/ellen-degeneres-buys-brad-pitt-home/">DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi</a> first listed the property back in October 2011 and shortly thereafter moved into <a href="http://luxe.truliablog.com/2011/12/ellen-degeneres-buys-brad-pitt-home/">Brad Pitt’s more private bachelor pad</a>. Hollywood sure does keep it in the family!</p>
<p>Seacrest is currently searching for a new owner for his former <a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Los_Angeles/sold/22322729-2809-Nichols-Canyon-Rd-Los-Angeles-CA-90046">Los Angeles estate</a>, which is listed for $11.985 million.</p>
<p>The multi-talented Seacrest has completely taken over Hollywood since his American Idol hosting debut in 2002. He is currently an on-air personality for two <a href="http://www.trulia.com/CA/Los_Angeles/">Los Angeles</a> radio shows, an executive producer for eight television reality shows -most notably heading the Kardashian television take over,- a host on the ever-popular <a href="http://www.eonline.com/">E! News</a>, and touching young children&#8217;s lives daily with The Ryan Seacrest Foundation. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, Seacrest has also<a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/04/23/after-hosting-over-400-episodes-ryan-returning-to-idol-for-season-12/"> just recently signed back on to host American Idol Season 12</a>, as well as <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/04/27/nbc-universal-announces-multi-platform-agreement-with-ryan-seacrest/">taken on a spot on the Today Show</a> as a guest correspondent.</p>
<p>It’s no wonder Ryan can afford to buy this ginormous 2.87 acre compound!</p>
<p>The full property consists of a main house, two additional guest cottages and an extra three-bedroom house. The entire 15,000 square foot property was featured on <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2011/ellen-degeneres-and-portia-de-rossi-beverly-hills-home-article">Architectural Digest in November 2011</a> and gives a great sneak peak at the history behind its evolution. <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2011/ellen-degeneres-and-portia-de-rossi-beverly-hills-home-article">According to the article</a>, Degeneres purchased the main home fully furnished from <em>Will &amp; Grace </em>cocreator Max Mutchnick after falling in love with it when invited over for an <em>American Idol </em>viewing party – how ironic is that!</p>
<p>Degeneres and de Rossi a<a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2011/ellen-degeneres-and-portia-de-rossi-beverly-hills-home-article">dded their own flare to the residence</a> by purchasing the two neighboring properties, installing a koi pond, scattering dozens of trees for privacy, and toning down the formal décor to give the reclaimed-wood floors and wooden beams a more relax feel. It is unknown if Seacrest purchased the compound fully furnished but by the look and sound of it, various LA talents have made their artistic marks on it, so we hope he was able to keep as-is!</p>

She and boyfriend Justin Theroux are actually moving into a super-swanky <a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Beverly_Hills/sold/4319552-425-Martin-Ln-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210">Asian Zen <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rental</span></a> while the renovations are complete on <a href="http://luxe.truliablog.com/2012/01/jennifer-aniston-buys-bel-air-mansion/">the Bel Air home</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Beverly_Hills/sold/4319552-425-Martin-Ln-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210">On the for-sale market for $11,500,000</a>, Aniston scooped up the temporary digs as a lease for $40,000 a month. The <a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Beverly_Hills/sold/4319552-425-Martin-Ln-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210">Asian contemporary home has 5 bedrooms</a>, 6.5 bathrooms and clocks in at about 6,500 square-feet.

Interiors and exteriors offer the best of California living, including ocean and city views, an entertainer-friendly layout with Lynx outdoor cooking area, a stunning zero-edge pool and spa.</p>
<p>Interiors include a <a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Beverly_Hills/sold/4319552-425-Martin-Ln-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210">stone-lined temperature controlled wine room</a>, a bar with custom cabinetry, walnut shelving and LED glass lighting installation. A Bulthaup kitchen features a stunning “Monobloc” stainless steel island, floating appliance cubes, warm bronze and striped walnut cabinetry, and appliances by Miele and Leibherr. The master suite comes complete with custom walnut closets, his-and-hers baths featuring book-matched Calcutta Borghini marble, Ann Sacks tiles, heated flooring, steam shower, and private outdoor shower.</p>
<p>Not too shabby for a temporary crash pad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to high-priced <a href="http://www.trulia.com/sitemap/New_Jersey-real-estate/">New Jersey real estate</a>, it&#8217;s getting real. Just this morning,  <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey">The Real Housewives of New Jersey</a>&#8216;s very own Joe and Melissa Gorga re-listed their stunning European-influenced mansion for <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/melissa-and-joe-gorga-list-new-jersey-mansion-for-38-million-201295">$3,800,000, according to US Weekly</a>. This is not the first time this very home has hit the market. In 2010, before they first appeared on the reality show (and shortly after completing construction of the home), <a href="http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2012/05/double-whammy-i-melissa-and-joe-gorga.html">they listed it for an optimistic $4,100,000</a>.</p>
<p>When talking about why they&#8217;re moving, <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/melissa-and-joe-gorga-list-new-jersey-mansion-for-38-million-201295#ixzz1uOpfx31j">Joe Gorga told US Weekly</a>, &#8221;I&#8217;m a builder. I custom-built the houses we have lived in and will do the same with our next one. We tried <a href="http://www.trulia.com/NJ/Montville/">Montville</a>, but it just wasn&#8217;t for us. We want to go back to Franklin Lakes, which is closer to where I work, and we&#8217;re looking at a couple of properties now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Built in 2009, <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/45635745-8-Pond-Vw-Montville-NJ-07045">the home features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, four fireplaces and a three-car garage</a>. The Gorga&#8217;s for-sale house features rich, thematic detail and is set in a prestigious yet tranquil and private location near major highways to New York City. Upgrades to the home include an <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/45635745-8-Pond-Vw-Montville-NJ-07045">extra-thick English slate roof with copper gutters and leaders</a>, custom stone and a Florida stucco facade, Italian marble foyer with inlays, dual marble stairways, custom tray ceilings, high-end kitchen and baths, rounded-cedar French doors and cedar windows, gorgeous wood paneling, arched hallways with thick, continental-inspired moldings, delicately curved built-in bookcases, luxurious fireplace mantles and gleaming hardwood floors in rich hues. The home also has additional luxury details, such as <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/45635745-8-Pond-Vw-Montville-NJ-07045">domed ceilings and a circular wrought-iron banisters</a>.</p>
<p>Devotees of the <a href="http://www.trulia.com/sitemap/New_Jersey-real-estate/">New Jersey</a> version of the &#8220;Real Housewives&#8221; franchise will remember that Joe Gorga installed a $50,000 recording studio for wife Melissa in the basement of this very home. The listing makes no mention of the studio, which means that it probably goes with the family (in pieces, of course) when they move into their next stunning home.</p>
<p>The Gorgas also have their <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/3061048397-11-Mermaid-Rd-Toms-River-NJ-08753">vacation home in Toms River, New Jersey on the market for $520,000</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The man behind the making of <em>Toy Story</em>, <em>A Bug’s Life </em>and <em>Finding Nemo</em>, <a href="http://www.pixar.com/">Pixar</a> cofounder and <a href="http://www.pixar.com/companyinfo/about_us/execs.htm">Walt Disney Animation Studios president Ed Catmull</a>, is looking to bid his park-like, <a href="http://www.trulia.com/CA/Kentfield/">Kentfield, CA</a> estate farewell &#8211; he has just listed the property for <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/3082714097-Single-Family-Home-Kentfield-CA-94904">$10.9 million</a>. For the past twenty-six years <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Catmull">Catmull has been heading Pixar Studios</a>, and most recently been overseeing animated films at both Pixar and Disney alongside <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lasseter">chief creative officer John Lasseter</a> following the Disney acquisition in 2006. His soon-to-be-ex <a href="http://www.trulia.com/CA/Kentfield/94904/">California home town of Kentfield</a> is about thirty minutes from Pixar Studios,  located in <a href="http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/Emeryville,CA/">Emeryville, CA</a>., and about forty five minutes-to-an-hour from tech hub <a href="http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/San_Francisco,CA/">San Francisco</a>.</p>
<p>Given Catmull’s ultra-creative mind and decades of animating experience, it’s no surprise his exquisite, custom-made estate pops with storybook charm. The three quarter acre parcel is simply majestic with expansive level lawns and views of Mt. Tamalpais and the Southern Marin Ridgeline. Built by <a href="http://stevewisenbakerarchitects.com/">Steve Wisenbaker</a>, <a href="http://www.trulia.com/property/3082714097-Single-Family-Home-Kentfield-CA-94904">the six-bedroom, eight full and two half bath property</a> is designed with a South Hampton personality. The white trim against the white walls and white coffered ceiling pairs beautifully with the dark hardwood flooring. The interior is furnished with modern minimalistic influence creating an elegant and traditional atmosphere.</p>
<p>A beautifully-lit island sits in the center of the spacious gourmet kitchen fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a Charvet Caumartin Range. The master suite features an exquisite walk-in closet and vintage ceramic tub. The upper level opens to the main patio, garden and pool with attached water slide. The exterior grounds are lined with lavish landscaping giving the home lovely vast hues of green &#8211; a perfect <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/">Bug&#8217;s Life</a> </em>paradise.</p>
<p>The estate also includes an executive sized home office, a spa-sized gym, a separate maid’s quarter and library. State-of-the-art technology is also incorporated throughout, although does not include your own private <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/">Wall-E</a>.</em> A 7-car auto court and underground 2-car parking allows for plenty of room for your real and/or <a href="http://disney.go.com/cars/">animated </a><em><a href="http://disney.go.com/cars/">Cars</a>.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Wentz">Fall Out Boy Bassist Pete Wentz</a> has just purchased a rocking new pad in <a href="http://www.trulia.com/CA/Studio_City/">Studio City, CA</a>, according to public records. Ashlee Simpson&#8217;s ex-husband is <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2135236/Pete-Wentz-girlfriend-Meagan-Camper-step-identical-outfits.html">currently dating model Megan Kamper</a>, and the two were <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2135236/Pete-Wentz-girlfriend-Meagan-Camper-step-identical-outfits.html">recently photographed picking up home goods at a LA-area Target</a>&#8230;and now we know why.</p>
<p>Wentz purchased the new place on April 13, 2012 for $1,050,000. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, nearly 2,000 square-foot home is situated in the foothills amongst a forest of tall trees, waterfalls and exotic plantings. The property has been lovingly maintained and enhanced over the years and the interiors are filled with designer touches. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen have a wood burning fireplace and a wall of French doors open to a grand, Wisteria covered veranda. The convertible third bedroom or den also open up to the lush outdoor area. Upstairs is the master suite, office and guest bedroom and third bath. The custom baths feature vessel sinks, glass tiles, stone and custom cabinetry.</p>
<p>Outside, lush grounds surround the house and meandering pathways take you to a tree shaded spa, Japanese tea house, children&#8217;s play house, waterfalls and architectural koi pond. The separate guest quarters and bath complete this amazing property. Hardwood floors, recessed interior lighting, extensive outdoor lighting, security cameras, built-in speakers and music are just a few of the many features that make this the perfect nest for Wentz.</p>
<p>When Wentz was still married to Simpson, <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/2011/04/14/ashlee-simpson-and-pete-wentz-seek-split-from-beverly-hills-home/">the two lived in a pricey place in Beverly Hills</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2012/01/camille-grammer-kelsey-grammer-twins-pregnant-kayte-walsh.html">Kelsey and Kayte</a> purchased the <a href="http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Beverly_Hills/sold/1040990-701-N-Linden-Dr-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210">restored Spanish Colonial Revival on April 25 for $6,500,000</a>, as first <a href="http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2012/05/kelsey-grammer-does-it-again-in-90210.html">reported by The Real Estalker</a>.
