What's New
Celebrity Houses • 12/19/2006
Celebrity houses aren’t three bedroom colonials located at the edge of a non-descript cul-de-sac. When famous people purchase real estate, they go all out. We’re talking bathrooms for each bedroom, pools with cascading waterfalls, and more bedrooms than will ever be used. Who’s buying, who’s selling and who’s staying put? Here’s a look at what’s new with celebrity houses.
Celebrity Houses for Sale
Denise Richards Lists House for Sale
No moss is growing under Denise Richards. The house she purchased last year after splitting from Charlie Sheen has been placed on the market. Her 6 bedroom, 7,400 square foot home can be purchased for a mere $4.5 million dollars. Perhaps Richards is trying to distance herself from the home next door, which is owned by former gal pal Heather Locklear and her ex-husband, Richard’s current flame, Richie Sambora.
Mel Gibson’s Had Enough
Is Britney Spears causing Mel Gibson to pull up the stakes and move his large brood elsewhere? According to Hollywood.com (http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3505164), that’s exactly what happening. Apparently Gibson isn’t thrilled with all of the press camped outside his next door neighbor’s home. Not to worry. Gibson’s new digs are closer to the new $3.5 million church he had built.
Martin Scorcese’s Moving

Mick Jagger Expands
Mick Jagger loves his Mustique home so much, he bought the neighbor’s property as well. The $3.95 million fixer upper needs a little work; apparently it didn’t come with a pool.
