Celebrity Homes

Jennifer Lopez needs to pull a Beyoncé and go country -- that is, if she wants her career to avoid the same end as her marriage to Ben Affleck ... so says an industry vet.

Jon Peters -- who produced Jen's 1995 film, "Money Train" -- has a plan of action for the triple-threat star to rake in $$$ after she blew through millions on her wedding and $60M house -- and he details it all in TMZ's new Hulu doc -- 'JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs.'

Jon thinks Jen could easily pivot into the country music scene -- getting assistance from the likes of Shania Twain and other legends in the game, whom he thinks would welcome JLo with open arms. Ditto for the Grand Ole Opry, according to him.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's mega-mansion sale is sparking debate in L.A.'s luxury real estate market ... and TMZ's got insight from both sides on whether it's worth the price tag.

As we first told you ... Ben and Jen are looking to offload their $60 million Bev Hills home for a cool $65 mil -- and while some have scoffed at the asking price behind closed doors ... others have told us it's actually a Goldie Locks number ... meaning it's just right.

Benjamin Bacal -- from Revel Real Estate, who reps high-end clients in L.A. -- tells us $65M is perfect for asking ... as he feels it fits the home's scope/scale. He tells us ... if it's good enough for A-listers like Ben and Jen, then it's good enough for anyone.

Carrie Underwood and her family must feel pretty relieved right about now ... 'cause they managed to escape a house fire in their Tennessee home over the holiday weekend.

A rep for the country singer tells TMZ ... "There was a fire on the property on Sunday night, which was quickly contained. There was no fire damage to the primary residence, and the family and their pets were unharmed."

According to Williamson County & Fire, several crews were dispatched to the residence just before 10 PM on Sunday evening -- Father's Day -- after a fire started in Carrie and husband Mike Fisher's garage. The responders were able to put out the fire relatively quickly thanks to a 10,000-gallon water tank ... which was located on the singer's estate.

Richard Pryor's former L.A. home -- the infamous spot where he set himself on fire in 1980 -- just sold for a cool $3,619,000.

The Northridge home was on the market for only 3 months by ex-NFL player turned Hollywood writer Rashard Mendenhall -- netting him a considerable profit, as he'd purchased it for $2.5M in 2017.

It wasn't exactly what Rashard had hoped for -- he initially listed the home at $4,236,000, a nod to his NFL career rushing total of 4,236 yards -- but it's still a pretty sweet deal.

Jennifer Lopez still has kind words for her man Ben Affleck ... wishing him a Happy Father's Day despite their recent marital woes.

The singer-songwriter shared a pic of a young Ben to her Instagram story in black and white ... and small lettering appears, one letter after another, under it. The message reads, "Our Hero. Happy Father's Day."

She also tossed in a white heart emoji ... letting everyone know she's still got a lotta love for her husband of nearly two years who is dad to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel and stepdad to her kids Max and Emme.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have issues with finances, Goldie Hawn has issues with crime in Los Angeles, and James Worthy remembers Jerry West ... all this on today's hot takes.

First on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles dive into the financial issues surrounding Ben and Jen as they hurtle towards divorce.

Drake will be making his presence felt while roaming around his new Texas neighborhood ... 'cause the OVO captain just dropped $200K on a truck built for doomsday, TMZ has learned.

Apocalypse Manufacturing -- the company that did this monster of a vehicle for Drizzy -- tells us ... Drake's custom slab is state of the art and built for the long haul ... with a Hemi Hellcat V8 6.2L engine that's got 870 horsepower upgrades, full-time four-wheel drive, and armored and riveted doors.

Drake had the suped-up truck delivered this week and posted several pics with it that showed off its Siberian Tiger interior ... showing off the whip at his recently-purchased $15 million ranch in Fayette County, Texas.

Jennifer Lopez went to Ben Affleck's new place this week, and while she may have stayed late ... she didn't spend the night.

The singer was spotted arriving at her hubby's rental in Brentwood Wednesday after his kid's graduation ceremony -- and it looks like it was a family affair, 'cause she wasn't rolling solo ... we're told Ben's ex-wife Jennifer Garner was also in attendance.

No sign of any of the kids, but ya gotta figure they were there too ... and like we said, J Lo joined the party -- hanging around until about 10 PM, when she was photographed leaving.

Josh Altman says Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's mega mansion is appropriately listed at $65 million ... 'cause they're probably gonna take a hit, which is factored into the price.

We caught up with the celeb real estate broker -- who's repped a ton of stars in his career -- in L.A. Wednesday, where he told us why he thought the high price tag for their crib, which they're trying to sell quietly, is actually perfect ... getting into the nitty gritty with us.

Check it out ... JA says he's very familiar with their property, and thinks they got it for a steal at $60 mil when they bought it last year -- but because of the new mansion tax in Cali, not to mention commission they'll have to pay ... they're already in the hole at about $6 mil.

Goldie Hawn is no longer impressed with the twinkling lights of Tinseltown -- putting her hometown on blast for its rising crime ... and describing 2 horrific personal anecdotes.

The actress stopped by Kelly Ripa's 'Let's Talk Off Camera' podcast, where she hinted at plans to move out of Los Angeles ... this after 2 break-ins at her home within a short period of time.

Goldie says she and her husband Kurt Russell have kicked around ideas on where else they could live, noting Palm Desert is nice and safe  ... whereas L.A. is "terrible."

Kevin Spacey is crying about losing his home and owing millions in legal fees ... and TMZ has the first look inside the Baltimore pad he says is going up for auction.

No wonder Kevin is upset ... he used to live in an East Coast palace right on the water in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, a 6-bedroom estate with over 9,000 square feet of pure luxury.

Kevin's place has sweeping views of the Baltimore skyline, a home theater, massive master bathroom, plus a sauna, rooftop terrace, spiral staircase, several verandas and a freaking elevator.

Kristin Cavallari is trying to unload what was once her dream home, but that doesn't mean she's dunzo living alone or trying to move in with boyfriend Mark Estes.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kristin and Mark are NOT in the cohabitating stage, despite much speculation their romance is heading to the next level. We're told Kristin and Mark's relationship is really strong, but they're not ready to live together full-time.

While many people assume Mark and his brother still live in Montana -- mainly because their TikTok name is the Montana Boyz -- ME actually has his own place in Nashville, where Kristin plans to spend some time while she's house hunting. We're told she'll also stay at her L.A. condo.

A Los Angeles-area home belonging to ex-NBA player Patrick Patterson was burglarized last week ... and now, TMZ Sports has learned cops are on the hunt for the culprits.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the break-in happened just before midnight on June 7, when two men wearing masks, gloves and all-black outfits were captured on Patterson's security system rummaging through his home.

We're told the duo snagged two big bags of the former Raptors forward's belongings ... and booked it before LAPD officers arrived on the scene.

Kevin Spacey broke down into tears to reveal a hard truth: he's destitute -- so deep in the hole, in fact, that he's about to lose his home ... this on the heels of his #MeToo scandal.

In his first major TV appearance in years, the embattled actor disclosed on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Tuesday that his Baltimore home, where he lived while shooting "House of Cards," is now up for auction -- and he was soon planning to pack his stuff into storage.

When Piers pressed Kevin on why it had come to such an extreme ... he candidly admitted he simply couldn't foot the debt he owed -- which he says amounts to millions.

Meghan Trainor's shaking things up in the real estate world -- listing her L.A.-area mansion hot on the heels of purchasing Zedd's swanky pad just last month ... a swap of sorts.

The singer recently listed her Encino pad for a jaw-dropping $11,995,000 -- this after she and her hubby -- "Spy Kids" actor Daryl Sabara -- snagged it from rapper TMG Fresh for $6.6 million in late 2020.

Since her purchase ... MT's extensively remodeled the home, hence the hefty price tag. And as you can see from the pics, the 14,165 square feet abode -- nestled in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles -- is definitely worth every penny.

Steve-O's making some serious moves, not to mention serious money .. 'cause he's already sold his L.A. home a month after listing it -- and the guy pocketed a good amount of dough.

The "Jackass" star's real estate agent, Cesar Melendrez tells TMZ, the house sold Monday for $2,135,000, which was $335,000 over the $1.799 million asking price -- so that's one sweet profit for Steve-O after only 34 days on the market.

The star's 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom property garnered some serious interest. In fact, we're told the home received an offer within just 4 days of hitting the market, despite the rising interest rates in L.A.
