Your Mama Hears...
...through the Beverly Hills real estate gossip grapevine that the cast of the upcoming and hotly anticipated Selling Los Angeles–a spin off of the Selling New York program on HGTV–includes (but is not limited to) Platinum Triangle heavy hitters Valerie Fitzgerald of Coldwell Banker and Hilton & Hyland's Mauricio Umansky, who many of the children know as the hunky huzband of Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Scottie Pippen and His Real Housewife of Miami Wife Larsa List Mansion
SELLER: Scottie and Larsa PippenLOCATION: Fort Lauderdale, FL
PRICE: $16,000,000
SIZE: 9,782 square feet 6 full and 7.5 bathrooms
YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Buckle up your safety belts butter beans and let the high-priced real estate games begin for The Real Housewives of Miami. Like so many of the other women who appear on the many other versions of the campy, oddly mesmerizing and extremely popular reality tee-vee franchise, at least one of the glitzy women on the Miami program is currently looking to change up her real estate circumstances. The eagle-eyed children will note, however, that the housewife and the house in question aren't actually in Miami but rather 30-some miles up the coast in Fort Lauderdale, a city otherwise known at the "Venice of America" because of the numerous canals that wind their way through the coastal neighborhoods.
Thanks to a slew of real estate birdies down in Fort Lauderdale Your Mama was recently made aware that retired NBA superstar Scottie Pippen and his Real Housewives of Miami cast member wife Larsa have put their sizable waterfront house in Fort Lauderdale's high-toned Harbor Beach neighborhood on the market with a fat asking price of $16,000,000.
As all the children surely know by now Your Mama don't know shit from shinola about professional basketball so we spent the better part of the morning tracking down our ball-crazy b.f.f. Fiona Trambeau who told us that during the 1990s Mister Pippen played side-by-side with basketball legend Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls team. During his tenure in the Windy City he helped earn the team six NBA championships. In the late 1990s he was traded to the Houston Rockets who quickly handed him off to the Portland Trailblazers. He 2003 he went back to the Chicago Bulls for a not particularly successful single season before retiring. Missus Larsa Pippen, a former model described on at least one website as a "snarky, Lebanese beauty," pushed out three baby Pippens (or maybe it's four) and Mister Pippen has two additional children from previous relationships with two other women.
There are scads of reports available online that speculate that Mister Pippen–who reportedly earned around $120,000,000 during his long career–might be broke or next to. Now listen kitty cats, Your Mama don't know a catalog from a catacomb so we can not and do not claim any knowledge of the inner workings of the Pippens' financial matters. What is a part of the public record is that Mister Pippen lost tens of millions on bad investments and shoddy financial planning. These rumors and reports of reduced financial circumstances may or may not be true and they may or may not have something to do with the desire of Mister and Missus Pippen to sell their super-sized mansion in Fort Lauderdale.
Property records show that Mister and Missus Pippen paid $1,340,000 for their double-wide parcel in October of 2000 and proceeded to have an Addison Mizner-inspired Mediterranean Revival-style mansion custom designed that, we like to imagine has extra tall doorways to accommodate Mister Pippen's 6-foot and 8-inch frame. The house, like so many in coastal communities is built tight to the lot's perimeter making it appear a bit squeezed.
Some online listings we exhumed from the internets show the Pippen's pad measures 9,782 square feet and other online listings show it weighs in at a significantly larger 13,500 square feet. For what it's worth the Broward County Tax man shows it's 9,782 but the Broward County Tax Man also shows the mansion has just 4 bedrooms and 3 poopers while all the online listings we peeped at indicate there are 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms.
A cursory poke around didn't turn up any photos of the interiors of the Pippen residence so we're just going to assume without any credible evidence that the house is did up of done over in a big baller manner with an impress the guest style entry, a home theater with state-of-the-art audio/visual systems, a double height room or two, lots of heavy swagged drapery, lots of custom cabinetry with elaborate carved corbels and a master suite larger than the average American home. Listing information does show that the interior spaces include a mix of marble and carpeted floors, a central vacuum system, an automatic garage door opener and an elevator for all those to damn lazy to walk up or down a flight of stairs. Presumably all us real estate looky-loos and reality tee-vee junkies will all get a good look at the inside of the house when The Real Housewives of Miami begins its first season and then we'll all know just what sort of day-core Mister and Missus Pippen prefer.
Exterior luxuries according to listing information and property photographs include a double-gated driveway and motor court, 215-feet of canal frontage with private dock and boat lift, built-in barbecue center, numerous balconies and shaded terraces, a kind of puny putting green, raised spa and a lagoon-style swimming pool where a frightening and dangerous looking curly-cue slide contraption has been installed.
This huge house in Fort Lauderdale is hardly Mister and Missus Pippen's only visit to the real estate rodeo. The Pippens' previous residences include a Fort Lauderdale mansion they sold in early 2004 for around $2,700,000 and a 21st-floor condo crib in Chicago Mister Pippen snatched up in the mid-1990s for $850,000 and sold in the summer of 2006 for $1,430,000.
After his star turn with the Bulls in Chicago and a hot minute with the Houston Rockets, Mister Pippen went west to play for the Oregon Trailblazers. According to previous reports, Mister and Missus Pippen settled into a 16,000-plus square foot brick mansion on 2.28 acres that they reportedly purchased in 2000 for around $4,000,000. They sold the 6 bedroom and 7.5 pooper brick-built residence in 2007 for a reported $2,950,000. A little fussin' and fightin' with the over-worked beads on Your Mama's bejeweled abacus shows that those rough numbers represent a million dollar plus loss on the property.
Although the property records we accessed seem a tiny bit confusing–or maybe it's just the massive amounts of cold medicine and gin coursing through our cold-compromised body that's got us all befuddled and betwixt–but it appears that Mister and Missus Pippen still own a 10,500-ish square foot mansion in the upscale community of Highland Park outside Chicago, IL that records and reports indicate they purchased in January of 2004 for $2,225,000.
We have no idea what the future real estate plans are for Mister and Missus Pippen but perhaps when they unload their white elephant in Fort Lauderdale they'll hightail it back to Highland Park where Missus Pippen can then star in the currently non-existent The Real Housewives of Chicago. Don't laugh or mock, children, stranger things have happened, particularly with Bravo's growing army of Louboutin-shod "real housewives," few of whom are actually housewives.

Weekend Wrap Up

Calling all Russian oligarchs and Middle Eastern potentates: If you desire for privacy and are willing to spend £195,000,000 to buy it one of y'all bajillionaires might want to consider the purchase of the Li Galli Islands, of a trio of dramatically rocky outcroppings off the coast of Positano. That's Italy, chickens. The largest of the islands contains three villas and a restored tower with an approximate combined square footage of 27,000, 12 bedrooms, three salt-water plunge pools, two 27-foot tenders, a private damn grotto and a desalinization damn plant.
According to Your Mama's currency conversion contraption, the £195,000,000 asking price translates to a shocking and heart stopping $316,840,000US, at today's rates. If that price seems a tad high for the three islands, keep in mind that the sky-high price also includes Villa tre Ville, the former estate of iconic Italian film director Franco Zefferelli that offers another 30,000+ square feet of interior space, 16,000+ square feet of terraces, 19 bedroom suites, three swimming pools, two kitchens, and one helipad.
Jeezis H. Christ.

Booze heir Matthew Bronfman has caught a case of The Real Estate Fickle. He paid $28,500,000 for 40-foot wide townhouse mansion on New York City's East 69th Street in 2008. He gutted the place and moved to London. Now he's heaved the house back on the market with a price tag of $27,250,000. A few clickety-clacks of the over-worked beads on Your Mama's bejeweled abacus shows that best case scenario Mister Bronfman will take a $1,250,000 slam to his bank account not counting the fat real estate fees that could easily add up to $750,000 or more.
The house was formerly owned by Jim Henson the man responsible for The Muppets.

Would it surprise some folks to learn that the highest sale recorded in the Multiple Listing Service for Los Angeles in 2010 was $19,500,000 for a 6 bedroom and 8 bathroom single-story contemporary in Beverly Hills?

In 2008, after a lucrative dee-vorce, Heather Mills–the one-legged ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney–paid around five million bucks for an 1,800 square foot condo in one of the Richard Meier-designed green glass towers cleaved to West Side Highway in New York City. Turns out she doesn't spend much time in New York and is reported to be in contract to sell the unused pied a terre to a New York financier for a price "similar" to what she paid. Blah, blah, blah.

While we do need a damn nerve pill just to ponder the audacity required for a biznessman–in this case Indian multi-billionaire Mukesh Ambani–to spend a rumored and reported billion bucks to build a 27-story tower for use as a single family home. A. Single. Family. Home. Did y'all hear Your Mama? Twenty seven floors for one damn family. Despite our futile outrage, like all the other real estate sickos Your Mama is, well, curious what it looks like in there.
You are too, aren't you. Well, now you can have an all too brief glimpse into the private single family residence that includes such necessities as an airplane hangar-sized ballroom with a ceiling that literally drips with crystal and an "entourage room" where security guards and personal assistants can wait around and twiddle their thumbs while their lords and ladies booze it up in the ballroom.
But the ballroom, buttercups, is only the amuse bouche of billionaire-style immoderation at the Ambani's home. Other luxuries of the tower house include a 50-seat movie theater and an entire floor devoted to health and fitness that includes a gym, dance studio, yoga room, swimming pool and spa.
But, hunnies, the extravagance that made Your Mama pee a little in our pants in both horror and amazement–an horrific amazement, if you will–is the "ice room." The ice room is where the Ambanis and their guests can escape the crushing Mumbai heat in a chilled chamber where it's gently snowing. Snowing. Inside. In Mumbai. Kind of makes a person need a gin & tonic at nine damn thirty in the morning, don't it?

After combing the city with current female-friend Cameron Diaz on his arm, professional baseballer and lady-killer Alex Rodriguez has finally purchased a new pad on a high-floor of the twin-towered Rushmore, a newly-constructed and architecturally-vapid building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Reports say the well-paid New York Yankee splashed out between five-and-a-half and six million big ones for a 5 bedroom spread with Hudson River views.
Mister Rodriquez currently occupies a $30,000 per month rental at the hyper-pricey 15 Central Park West building and Your Mama heard through the New York City celebrity real estate grapevine that in addition to an apartment in the city, the slugger was scoping out country cribs in the same neck of Westchester County where high-profile peeps like Martha Stewart, Ralph Lauren and Michael Douglas own bucolic estates.

Their dee-vorce may be final but Real Housewives of Beverly Hills villain Camille Grammer–that would be Kelsey Grammer's third ex-wife and baby momma–isn't sure about the fate of some of the couple's many residences, specifically the erstwhile couple's little used Hamptons hideaway that includes an 8,000 square foot residence, a Har-tru tennis court, home theater, heated swimming pool, spa and pool house.
In March of 2008, before the Grammer's marriage went pa-fizzle and puh-fffffttt, they tried to sell their gated and privately situated 1.7 acre Bridgehampton estate for $16,100,000, a big number that was lowered to $13,900,000 the following year. But alas, the discount didn't bring a buyer prepared to sign and the house remains in, it seems, in post-dee-vorce limbo.
As far as we know Third ex-Missus Grammer remains in residence at the former couple's compound in the guard gated Serra Retreat in Malibu and Mister Grammer is holed up in some too-expensive rental in Manhattan with his new, much younger and soon to be fourth wife.

Tech tycoon and notorious trophy property collector Larry Ellison paid a mouth-drying $42,900,000 to purchase Porcupine Creek, a sprawling 249-acre estate in Rancho Mirage, CA estate that comes complete with an 18,400 square foot mansion, eight guest houses, fitness center, amphitheater, swimming pool complex that rivals those of most country clubs and–buckle up for this one folks–its own private 18-hole golf course and clubhouse.
Mister Ellison–a self-made man who earned the bulk of his multi-billion dollar fortune from founding the Oracle hardware and software empire–owns a number of other high profile residences including a Japanese-themed compound in Woodside, CA, a 39-room cottage in Newport, RI called Beechwood and more prime property in Malibu that we can be bothered to count.

Listen children, Your Mama can not bear to watch more than about 1.5 minutes of televised figure skating competitions BUT we loves us some of that whisper thin ice prancer Johnny Weir who gleefully thumbs his nose at the figure skating establishment with an outspoken 'tude and flamboyant and feathery costumes of the sort normally worn by the lady skaters.
Twenty-six year old Miss Weir, a world champion and Olympian who has been living in New Jersey with his fey b.f.f. roommate, recently decided to decamp to Manhattan where he reportedly shelled out $1,100,000 for an 826 square foot one-bedroom crib on a high floor of the Twenty9th Park Madison building just above Madison Square Park, located in a lackluster 'hood that's neither Murray Hill nor the Flatiron District. Young Johnny's big move to The Big Apple will be documented by cameras for the second season of his reality program Be Good Johnny Weir.

David Krumholtz Is Flipping Out in Laurel Canyon
SELLER: David Krumholtz and Vanessa BrittingLOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
PRICE: $2,175,000
SIZE: 4,169 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.75 bathrooms
YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Starting with The Bizzy Boys at Celebrity Address Aerial, a number of thoughtful folks have alerted Your Mama this week to a house in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles owned by actor David Krumholtz and on the block with an asking price of $2,175,000.
Although not a household name or a tabloid fixture, thirty something year old Mister Krumholtz has been floating around Tinseltown for quite some time. After a number of false starts in the early- and mid-1990s on television programs and movies Your Mama has never seen nor heard of, he finally got his big break in 1997 when he appeared as a teenage Lothario in the film The Ice Storm. More recently, Mister Krumholtz was seen in a 13-episode season of the erstwhile The Trouble With Normal and a short arc on hospital drama ER. On the silver screen his most notable (and recurring) roles have been in the Harold & Kumar... and the Santa Clause... film franchises. In 2005 Mister Krumholtz's professional ship finally pulled in with his most recent gig as a crime solving mathematical wizard on Numb3rs.
It was only in February of 2010 that Mister Krumholtz paid $2,025,000 for his Laurel Canyon crib. The very next month Numb3rs was canceled leaving him, essentially, without a job and in May 2010 Mister Krumholtz married his long-time lady-friend Vanessa Britting, an ack-tress whose resume includes a couple of short films (Paperboy, Big Breaks) and a few spins across the small screen on the cop-drama Without a Trace and the soap story The Young and the Restless.
Reality television watching children may find it interesting to know that Mister Krumholtz purchased this house from young gun real estate agent Josh Altman, the toothy and suit-wearing new guy featured on the current season of Million Dollar Listing. Josh Altman, according to records, owned the property with his brother Matt, also a real estate agent in Los Angeles.
The Altman Brothers, according to property records, acquired the house in June of 2007 for $2,200,000. A bit more than a year later the real estate agent brothers flipped the property back on the market. After property was de-listed and re-listed three or four times it eventually sold to Mister Krumholtz in February of 2010 for $2,025,000. That's right kids, it took these two real estate agents 2.5 years to sell a damn house...at a loss. A few quick flicks of the well-worn beads of Your Mama's bejeweled abacus shows the Altman Brothers not only had a devil of a time selling the house but they took a not inconsiderable $175,000 whack to their pocketbooks. They are clearly successful in their chosen field, or at least they appear to be quite successful. However, The Altman Brothers' attempt to flip this house was not, obviously, one of their finer real estate moments.
Anyhoodles poodles, as fassinatin' as that all is, we digress. Cleary Mister and Missus Krumholtz caught a case of The Real Estate Fickle because just one year after buying they flipped the house back on the market with an asking price ($2,175,000) just slightly higher than records show they paid ($2,025,000).
Listing information for the ocher-colored sort-of-Spanish/kind-of-Moroccan-style residence indicates it was erected in 1985 and is known as El Castillo–The Castle–presumably because of the crenelated detailing that runs around the residence's upper level terraces. Listing information also shows the house measures 4,169 square feet and contains 4 bedrooms and 3.75 bathrooms including two complete master suites each with sizable facilities done up with double vanity and a myriad of custom tile work, faux-finish paint treatments and stenciled detailing.
A carved wood and wrought iron gate opens from the driveway to a grassy courtyard where a curvy-swervy staircase that really does not need to be swervy-curvy climbs to the wood and wrought iron front door. The home has a surprisingly and sort of bizarrely large foyer/stair hall/sitting room that features hardwood floors, beamed ceiling and a built in seating cubby perfect for cozying up with a good book, a stack of gossip glossies and a pitcher of ice-cold gin & tonics.
Up a second flight of stairs the main living spaces include a double height living room with arched windows and dynamite carved wood ceiling. The adjacent formal dining room has a distinct ecclesiastical vibe due to a long row of Gothic arched windows and chunky wood dining table and chairs that look like something straight out of a monastery or nunnery.
The parochial architecture and day-core in the dining room continues into the kitchen, outfitted with an over-sized farmhouse sink, Viking range, stenciled hardwood floors and dark brown carved cabinetry that look to Your Mama much like what we imagine a Catholic confessional to look like. A nearby family room with corner fireplace and hardwood floors has a pair of wood-framed glass doors that lead to an outdoor terrace with the aforementioned crenelated detailing.
Another flight of stairs–Your Mama can feel our heart pounding and glutes burning just thinking about climbing another damn flight of stairs in this house–ascends to the bedrooms on the upper-most level. Those of the children who, like Your Mama, don't care to break a sweat when walking from the front door to our bedroom will be thrilled to learn that the house is equipped with an industrial strength elevator.
While there's not much in the way of a real backyard with grass and a swimming pool, the house is far from short on appealing outdoor lounging and entertaining areas. Clay tile terraces and patios surround the house and include a large terrace at the front of the house with extensive built-in seating, a fire pit and pretty if not spectacular tree-top views.
Listing information indicates that Mister Krumholtz and Miz Bitting are willing to lease the property–for how much we don't know–and they're also open to selling some of the furniture that was custom-designed for the house.
Previous to buying his house in the Hollywood Hills, Mister Krumholtz owned a home in the Larchmont Village area that he put on the market in the spring of 2010 for $1,499,000 and sold in July 2010 for $1,325,000. If we dig a little deeper down into the property records they shows that Mister Krumholtz paid $1,715,000 for the 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom house. A few little more clicking and clacking on our bejeweled abacus shows that Mister Krumholtz took a financial bath on the property to the tune of $490,000. Eichee-wow-wow.
At its current asking price of $2,175,000 and after the real estate fees are paid Mister (and Missus) Krumholtz will be lucky to clear fifty grand on this real estate mistake even if their agent manages to pull a real estate rabbit out of a hat and secure a full price sale. But let's be honest, Chicken Littles, while not as dire as a year ago, the real estate markets still walk with crutches and a full price sale–while entirely possible–seems unlikely. That means poor Mister Krumholtz just might be looking at another kablam and kablooey to his bank accounts.
