Katy Perry New Guest Home ... For $7.5 Million!!!

Katy Perry's family and friends just scored HUGE, thanks to her scooping up a quaint little guest house. Kidding ... she bought 'em a freakin' mansion!

Take a look at Katy's SECOND home in Bev Hills -- it's 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms spread over 4,400 square feet. It's got French doors opening out to a kick-ass outdoor area for entertaining, and a pool area for 90210 lounging.

The crib is in a gated community which has also been home to Ellen Degeneres, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Jennifer Lawrence, Adele ... and also Katy. Yeah, she bought a $19 million, 5 bedroom spread last year in this hood.

Don't worry ... Katy's not downsizing. She's keeping the OG place, deciding to add the second as a place for family and friends to stay when they're in town.

Asking price on the new home is $7.5 million, and we're told she's paying close to that. All the contingencies have cleared, and we're told the deal will close next month.

Looks like happy holidays for Katy's fam!

Cannabis Rooms Pot Paradise ... Marijuana Mansions Coming To L.A.

One high-end real estate developer is going green ... building weed-friendly mansions for athletes, CEOs and celebs looking to harvest their own herb at home and take advantage of the plant's healing powers without ever having to get off the couch!

Ramtin Ray Nosrati of Huntington Estate Properties is building 5 marijuana mansions in Bel-Air and Westside, and each residence contains a cannabis conservatory ... it's basically a stoner's spin on a cigar room, specifically designed for blazing up and growing ganja.

The individual homes -- call them the houses that hemp built -- are being advertised to active and retired athletes who are interested in at-home, anti-inflammatory medicine for daily life ... because THC and CBD can do wonders for all the physical and mental stress that comes with being one of the world's elite ballers.

Check out the gallery ... the special cannabis room inside each home comes with its own dedicated harvester, who will work magic for 2 years cultivating, watering, fertilizing and harvesting crops and/or vegetables using organic hydroponics. In Los Angeles, you can grow up to 6 plants in your home. Sounds dank!

The first 2 pothead paradises are scheduled for completion next summer, but it's gonna take some serious green to live like Bob Marley ... the mansions are gonna be listed between $30-40 million.

Domestic Terrorism Suspected Bomber Was Exotic Dancer ... Threatened To Kill Other Strippers

Cesar A. Sayoc, the suspected bomber in a domestic terrorism plot targeting high-level politicians, worked as an exotic dancer for years and even threatened to kill and infect other dancers with HIV ... TMZ has learned.

As you can see from the photos ... Cesar worked as an exotic dancer from 1996-2000.

We're told Cesar's time as a stripper was tumultuous ... on several occasions, he threatened other dancers and was constantly jealous of colleagues who were making more money than him or diminishing his presence on stage.

According to dancers who worked with him ... Cesar once threatened to stab another dancer with a syringe loaded with HIV-infected blood.

We're told Cesar once got so jealous of a rival dancer, he taped tuna can lids to the bottom of his boots and threatened to stomp the dancer's face and cut him up. When people laughed at him, he became enraged and said, "Just wait. I'm going to take this guy out."

It's interesting ... Cesar traveled the country in a van during his stripping days, and Friday he was busted in a van covered with stickers threatening Hillary Clinton and CNN personalities. He also made multiple violent threats against TMZ on social media.

Even more disturbing ... we've obtained video of Cesar wiring accessories he used to light up stripper's costumes during his time with Gold Productions.

Remember, the devices mailed to Barack Obama, the Clintons and others appeared to be pipe bombs. It's clear Cesar knew his way around electronics.
