Jennifer Lopez Buys Big Beach House in the Hamptons

BUYER: Jennifer Lopez
LOCATION: Water Mill, NY
PRICE: $17,995,000 (list)
SIZE: 15,037 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: The East Coast summer season officially ended a few weeks ago and the stock market remains a hot mess of volatility but that hasn't stopped at least a few high-profile peeps with still-deep pockets from snatching up high-priced houses in the Hamptons.

According to all the New York real estate gossips, soon-to-be-single-again entertainment industry super nova Jennifer Lopez is one of those fancy folks prepared to drop a hefty wad of dough on a humongous house in the Hamptons. But, of course, now that this bootylicious beehawtcha from some block in the Bronx has more money than most pin-thin Park Avenue princesses she don't do her real estate in a half-assed manner. Oh no, hunnies. There will be no funky beach shack in Miz Lopez's future; She's reportedly (and allegedly) thisclose to closing the deal on a gigantic, recently constructed Gambrel-roofed "cottage" in the swish Water Mill area new Bridgehampton last listed with an asking price of $17,995,000.

Miz Lopez's super stardom and global branding seems to know no limits or boundaries. She sings, she dances, she acts–or, rather, "acts," she designs clothes, judges a top-rated reality program singing competition, endorses lady razors, shills for Fiat, and slapped her name and/or image on 49,000 kinds of perfumes, just to list a few of her many money-minting professional endeavors.

Your Mama spent few moments perusing the intereweb and we quickly turned up evidence that the house in question, designed by Hamptons' architect John Laffey, was once listed at $19,500,000 and, as of today, has been on the market for 743 days. It doesn't take a math savant or bejeweled abacus to figure out that 743 days is more than two years. That's right, more than two years. If the all the scuttlebutt about Miz Lopez's impending purchase is accurate then all the children east of the Mississippi should soon hear a hurricane strength sigh of relief from the developer who has to be ecstatic to finally unload his big ol' white elephant.

Since Miz Lopez has not yet called us with the purchase price and property records do not yet reflect a transfer, we can't spill those beans but we'll try to update our discussion when news and information about the sale price slips down the pipeline.

Let's have a look-see at Miz Lopez's new multi-winged mansion in the Hamptons by the numbers, shall we? Listing information shows the 19-room mansion (floor plan below) measures 15,037 square feet and includes a total of 7 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms in the main house plus additional living quarters in two detached structures. There are a seven fireplaces–5 inside and 2 outside–garage parking for at least 3 cars, 2 laundry rooms–one up, one down–front and back staircases and 1 elevator that services all three living levels.

A gated gravel drive curve towards a massive gravel motor court embraced on two sides by the singled mansion. There's little Your Mama loves and misses more than the crunching sound under the tires of our big BMW as we rolled across the gravel driveways of our beloved but long ago sold house on the East End of Long Island. Let's move one before we're gripped by a paralyzing nostalgia....

The driveway curls around to the side of the house where there's an attached three car garage. For eighteen million clams that garage ought to be heated and cooled even though a cheapskate like Your Mama think its wasteful to heat and cool a garage. A detached structure offers more parking and additional living space for long-term guests or–more like for Miz Lopez–housing the squadron of personal assistants, domestic staff and security personnel that follow high-maintenance Miz Lopez around wherever she goes.

A towering rotunda entry with imported limestone floors and swooping spiral staircase directs foot traffic into one of the two Venetian plastered hallways/galleries that run like spines through the center of the house and connects the various wings. The nearly 35-foot long living room has a fireplace and wide banks of windows and French doors on three sides that open to the deep covered porch that girdles the ground floor. There's another fireplace in the octagonal, window-lined formal dining room and yet another in the library that's lined with bleached and waxed white oak paneled walls and built-in bookshelves.

The 600 square foot center-island eat-in kitchen has wide-plank caramel-colored wood floors, custom bleached wood cabinetry topped with giant slabs of white marble, walls paneled in a wide-wale bead board and still another fireplace, this one flanked by French doors that open to the brick terrace that surrounds the swimming pool and spa. An adjacent family room with garden and swimming pool access, guest bedroom and over-sized laundry facility complete the service wing of the sprawling house.

Upstairs the master suite comprises a private foyer, 600-square foot window-wrapped bedroom/sitting room with–you got it–a fireplace. There are also two mahogany balconies with multi-million dollar views across Mecox Bay towards the Atlantic and a pair of connected walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The particularly perfect master bathroom has a heated marble floor, two sinks, marble-lined steam shower, private cubby for the dirty business and, set into a bay window with water view, a show stopping soaking tub carved from a single block of marble.

There are two more generously-sized family bedrooms, each with private facility, and two additional but smaller bedrooms also each with private facility. An octagonal room on the second floor–a deluxe playroom for JLo's twins?–has a wood floors, another damn fireplace, raised ceiling, and wrap around views over the reedy marshlands across the bay from the windows that line six of the rooms eight walls.

Like in many high-end homes in the Hamptons, the basement level is finished for extra living space. In the case of this house, there's a bedroom with private bathroom for unfavored over-night guests or live-in staff, a home gym to keep the body bathing suit ready, walk-in wine closet, home theater space, and a large spare room where Miz Lopez can store all the bikinis, bejeweled sandals, sarongs, headscarves and sunglasses that a gal about town like her will need to do up the casually dressed but hard charging charity and summertime social circuits for which the Hamptons are (in)famous.

In addition to the front and rear gravel motor courts and the classic covered porch that surrounds the lower level of the house, the hedged, gated and manicured 2 acre estate include a football field sized lawn, an fenced swimming pool area with brick terraces and pool house. The property reportedly shares a dock on Mecox Bay with the house next door, owned by the recently deceased actor Cliff Robertson who won an Oscar for his 1968 film Charly.

A few weeks ago Your Mama gave a rather lengthy and verbose rundown of the real estate portfolio of Miz Lopez and her soon-to-ex-husband Marc Anthony. Rather than regurgitate all that material you can just go have a look-see and read when and if you're so inclined.

The only additions to that discussion besides the news of Miz Lopez's latest (and still alleged) acquisition in the Hamptons is that Your Mama heard through the celebrity real estate gossip grapevine that Mister Anthony has moved out of the couple's colossal crib in the guard-gated, star-stocked and horsey community of Hidden Hills in the far western suburbs of Los Angeles.
A little birdie named Wanda Tellyousomething, who claims first hand knowledge of the matter, recently whispered in Your Mama's ear that soon-to-be-ex-Mister Lopez leased an historic, vine-covered Italian Renaissance villa in West Hollywood (shown above) located in the shadow of the celebrity-packed Sierra Towers apartment building. Listing information provided by our little birdie shows the compound includes a large main house plus three private structures suitable for offices, guest houses or recording studios. It was listed for residential lease at $23,800 per month. Be sensible, kids. Your Mama can not confirm Mister Anthony leased the property and we can't say with any certainly that Mister Anthony has relocated from Hidden Hills to West Hollywood. We're just passing along some rumor and gossip provided to us by someone with obvious intimate knowledge of the property. Okay?

UPDATE: Lisa Vanderpump

BUYERS: Kenneth Todd and Lisa Vanderpump
LOCATION: Beverly Hills, CA
PRICE: $10,200,000
SIZE: 8,801 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Last week it was revealed that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' resident queen of pink Lisa Vanderpump and her restaurateur man-mate Kenneth Todd sold their opulent mansion in the guard-gated Beverly Park community for $19,000,000.

With their adult children living elsewhere–as they should–the Vanderpump-Todds wanted to downsize out of their 17,000 square foot high-maintenance mansion in Beverly Park and had already moved forward on the purchase of a smaller–but still huge–home.

They settled, according to gossip juggernaut TMZ, on a "Bitchin'" contemporary outside the gates of Beverly Park but still less than a mile away. The Giggy-loving couple paid $10,200,000 for a very contemporary Abramson Teiger Architects-designed mansion that listing information shows includes 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms in 8,801 square feet of interior space.

The gated, privately situated, and quite modern mansion offers generous formal living and dining rooms plus a high-impact two-story library paneled in high-gloss Ebony wood, lined with built-in bookshelves, and ringed by a second floor gallery. Towering steel-framed windows and dramatically tall glass doors in the library harness and frame an unobstructed view over the rugged, mansion-sprinkled canyons and glittery Tinseltown cityscape.

Cozier quarters include a family room with fireplace and steel-framed French doors that open to the back patio and a crisp, clean-lined kitchen with snack bar and dining area so sleek and minimal Your Mama thinks it would make Giorgio Armani might pee his khakis with architectural glee.

The second floor master suite encompasses a large bedroom with sitting area, fireplace and panoramic view, a bathroom for him, a bathroom for her and at least one gourmet kitchen-sized dressing room lined with mirrored wardrobes and equipped with make-up vanity and built-in dresser-cabinet in the center of the room.

Finish materials, according to listing information, are of the frightfully expensive variety and include reverse painted glass, walnut floors, hand-troweled plaster inside and imported Yorkstone on the exterior. The property also includes, as per listing information, a detached two car garage with guest/staff quarters, serious security system with closed circuit cameras.

Covered porches at the back of the house connect the luxe interiors to the landscaped grounds and grass staircase that leads down to a bullet-tip shaped swimming pool set into a green lawn surrounded by mature oak trees.

The Vanderpump-Todd's big Beverly Park pile was listed for $29,000,000 by Housewives' cast mate Kyle Richards' real estate dynamo husband Mauricio Umansky. At this time Your Mama has no idea who purchased the palatial property but perhaps someone in the know will surreptitiously ring our bedazzled princess phone and let us know. The Vanderpump-Todds did not make use of the real estate services of Mister Umansky in the purchase of their new home but rather those of Martin Genis, a real estate agent and pal who reportedly once sold a house to Brad Pitt and who they set up on a blind date with Kim Richards on the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Beyoncé's Momma Tina Knowles Lists Houston House

SELLER: Tina Knowles
LOCATION: Houston, TX
PRICE: $3,499,000
SIZE: 8,885 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Your Mama has previously arranged engagements this afternoon that we can not bail on or reschedule. However, before we hightail it down to the OK Corral for a life-affirming cocktail or three we thought we'd pass along a little quasi-celebrity real estate tidbit that arrived yesterday via covert communique from Fred Fink, a kindly tipster down in the Lonestar State.

Mister Fink, bless his big ol' cowboy-booted Texan heart, kindly forwarded current listing information for a modern mansion in Houston, TX that looks disturbingly like an upscale country club, Holiday Inn, or squat suburban office building done in a half-baked Brutalist style. Mister Fink whispered to Your Mama that the eye-popping pile, listed at $3,499,000, belongs to Tina Knowles, otherwise known as the beloved momma to big bootified pop music super nova Beyoncé. Miss Tina–as her cadre of assistants are reportedly instructed to call her–works her stuff out as the creative force behind the ready-to-wear label House of Dereon as well as the "couture" designer of many red carpet gowns worn by Beyoncé and stage costumes worn by Sasha Fierce.

A quick gander at publicly available property records confirms the colossal cubic crib has been owned by Celestine Knowles since October 2004. It looks to Your Mama like Momma Knowles' superstar daughter Beyoncé actually coughed up the $1,596,000 to purchase the property earlier in 2004 and later transferred it into the elder Miz Knowles' name.

Your Mama assumes Miss Tina's husband, record label executive and former Destiny's Child manager Matthew Knowles, also occupied the premises...at least until 2009 when Mise filed for divorce after it was revealed Daddy Knowles fathered a love child with another woman. We have no idea if Momma and Daddy Knowles remain coupled or separated but online reports indicate the divorce was called off in late 2010 because neither party showed up at the appointed time and the presiding judge dismissed the case.

Anyhoo, listing information for the 2.6 acre estate, located behind the guarded gate of the fancy Farnham Park enclave in the affluent Piney Point Village area due west of downtown Houston (TX), shows the rectilinear residence was built in 1973 and encompasses 8,885 square feet. Listing information also shows the horizontally-inclined flat-roofed mansion contains five bedrooms and 5 full and 2 half bathrooms.

A circular drive passes under a soaring porte cochere melodramatically held aloft by eight thick columns. Glass and wood front doors open into an almost freakishly long entrance hall with matching staircases at either end. The entrance hall spills into the cavernous, multilevel, hotel lobby-like formal living and dining room that listing information shows measures 50-foot long and 31-foot wide. There are gleaming wood floors underfoot, a double height ceiling overhead, walls lined with half-round pilasters, a massive carved stone fireplace that anchors one end of the room, and a 50-foot long wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the swimming pool, rolling lawns, and surrounding thicket of woods.

The less formal areas of the Knowles Krib include a center-island kitchen with contemporary finishes and stainless steel accents, an adjoining den/family room, 600-plus square foot media room, game room, and a wee work out room on the ground floor jam-packed with torturous-looking body improvement machines.

Two of the five bedrooms are situated, as per marketing materials, on the ground floor while the other three are upstairs. Listing photos show one bedroom has an adjoining room set up as a nursery and listing information reveals that the "lavish" second floor master suite features a fireplace, private study, coffee bar, and dual marble and mirror bathrooms. A detached guest/pool house provides additional sleep over space for guests who might be loud snorers, gas passers and/or vocal fornicators.

The office park vibe of the property kicks into high gear at the back of the house, comprised of a vast, double-stacked row of smoked glass windows that extend from the ground the the roof's edge. A couple of inset porches and balconies do little to break up the extreme architectural monotony of the rear façade.. The landscape tumbles and rolls down to the bright aqua blue lagoon-style swimming pool. For a reason we can not fathom a giant landscaped island, connected to the surrounding stone terrace by a pair of matching arched bridges, was placed right in the center of the swimming pool. An tree-dotted expanse of lawn undulates wildly and magnificently beyond the swimming pool and entertainment terraces towards a creeks that cuts through the wooded ravine that provides privacy for the property.

Since we're a bit short of time today Your Mama is not even going to attempt to parse or try to make sense of the faux-opulent day-core. To each his or her own decorative taste, of course, but suffice to say that all the curio cabinets, ceiling fans and smoked glass windows festooned with swagged drapery make Your Mama need a big fat nerve pill. And the glitzy Suburu-sized chandelier over the dining table? Have mercy, hunnies. That riotous thing looks like it could have been ripped right out of the ballroom of an outdated Hilton Hotel or one of deposed dictator Colonel Qaddafi's too-garish palaces in Tripoli. We'd have a giggle and a chuckle about how kooky and campy it all is except we suspect that someone is or was very damn serious about the furnishings and florid decorative details, which Your Mama thinks might have been meant mix timeless elegance with modern sophistication.

Property records reveal that Miss Tina owns at least two other properties in the Houston area including a modest ranch residence she and the mister bought in late 1997 for $98,637 and a 4,783 square foot lakefront house in a gated community in the upscale Houston suburb of Missouri City that was acquired in July 2000 for $314,250. Miz Knowles also owns, since 2005, an high-floor condo crib at the One Beacon Court building in Midtown Manhattan that as of November 2011 was on the market with an asking price of $5,600,000.

For exceedingly high profile people who get snapped by the paps on a daily basis, Miss Tina's superstar daughter Beyoncé and her frequently retiring rapper hubby Jay-Z manage to keep their real estate doings on the down low.

In addition to whatever ownership she may (or may not) still claim to the Houston house her momma Miss Tina just tossed on to the market, property records show Beyoncé owns three adjacent high floor condos in an ocean front complex in Miami Beach (FL) a mile or two north of the glitz and glam of South Beach.

There are many online reports that suggest the power pair spent $7,600,000 to acquire an 8,132 square foot waterfront mock-Med mansion on Miami's über-swank Indian Creek Island in the fall of 2007 but publicly available records for the property we peeped don't really reflect that and, besides, even if they did buy the estate in question it was sold again in March 2010 for $9,300,000 to a non-celebrity.

At one point Beyoncé owned an apartment in the high-gloss One Beacon Court building in Midtown Manhattan but, honestly pets, we're not sure of the status of that residence. In September 2004 Mister Z dropped $6,850,000 for an unfinished 8,309 square foot duplex penthouse atop the same fancy TriBeCa building where Skinny Girl Margarita mogul Bethenny Frankel recently dumped close to $10,000,000 on a pair of adjacent units. Beyoncé and Jay-Z got married in the penthouse back in 2008 and property records show Mister Z still owns the penthouse pad that includes 3,000 square feet of terraces.

In May 2008 the then not yet wedded couple were widely reported to have purchased a recently completed 15,000 square mansion in Scarsdale, NY but, once again, we don't know nuthin' about the alleged acquisition and at this point Your Mama is unable to confirm the purchase with property records.

Heath Ledger's Old L.A. Hideaway Back on Market

SELLER: Adrian Bellani
LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
PRICE: $2,995,000
SIZE: 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Buckle your safety belts, butter beans, because today Your Mama plans to take a rather circuitous route to get the the meat of the celebrity real estate matter at hand, a well-known Los Angeles, CA residence known as The Tree House, once owned by Ellen Degeneres, later owned by Heath Ledger, and recently listed with $2,995,000 price tag.

Anyone and everyone who pays any attention at all to the celebrity real estate scene knows well that stand-up comedienne turned 16-time Daytime Emmy-winning chat show queen bee Ellen Degeneres suffers from a wicked case of The Celebrity Real Estate Fickle. Just as soon as ol' Ellen gets her under panties in the cupboards, it seems, she gets ants in her pants and starts thinking about a new house to call home. Your Mama isn't sure why America's most beloved Sapphic sister rarely remains rooted in a single residence for more than a few years. It may (or may not) have something to do with the fact that she has an impressive track record for pulling in substantial profits on the sale of her homes or it may (or may not) have something to do with something else. What do we know?

Anyhoo, the most recent example of Miz Degeneres' property capriciousness is her current multi-crib compound in Beverly Hills (CA) that she cobbled together in 2007 and 2008 at a cost of well over $40,000,000 and until recently had on the open market with a pocketbook punishing asking price of $60,000,000. The listing disappeared from the internet a couple weeks ago and since all kinds of scuttlebutt has made its way down the Platinum Triangle gossip grapevine to Your Mama. One person told us (but we can't confirm) that he heard Miz Degeneres may have a well-heeled party on the line. We also heard (but can not confirm) from the always catty Kitty Hazclaws that "she just got sick of all the Eurotrash traipsing through the house" and took it off the market. What all that means is we don't really have an iota about what's going on in Miz Degeneres' over-active real estate brain. About all we know for sure is that the property was on the market earlier this year and now it's not.

Something else we do know is that many of Ellen Degeneres' domiciles wind up in the hands of other high profile media and entertainment industry denizens. In November 2007, Miz Degeneres sold a magnificent estate with an historic George Washington Smith-designed mansion in Montecito, CA for $20,000,000 to billionaire Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google. She'd only bought the property 13 months earlier for $15,750,000.

Several years before, in 2003, she pocketed $4,500,000 when she sold a contemporized traditional mansion in a star-studded enclave in the Bev Hills Post Office area to celebrity manager Rick Yorn. The house had previously been owned by sitcom actress Jami Gertz and later by entertainment industry honcho Tom Freston. Mister Yorn in turn sold the house in 2005 for $5,275,000 to bubblegum pop singer turned apparel tycoon Jessica Simpson who, as far as Your Mama knows, still owns the posh property.

In the mid-Naughts the trailblazing showbiz lesbian pieced together a 4-property compound nestled into a forested hollow in the Hollywood Hills above Laurel Canyon. One of the properties was then and is now known as The Tree House due to its sylvan perch in the thick tree tops that surround the house. Miz Degeneres purchased the largest portion of the compound from another A-list homosexual Tinseltowner, Will & Grace co-creator Max Mutchnick who–as it turns out–later sold her the largest portion of the sprawling Bev Hills compound where she currently resides with her long-locked lady-wife actress Portia de Rossi (Better Off Ted, Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development).

Miz Degeneres' Laurel Canyon compound wrapped around a property owned by music and entertainment industry bigwig Guy Oseary who sold in 2006 and, in a celebrity real estate coinky-dink, moved to a much larger celebrity-style spread in the same secluded, famous folk-filled enclave where–as mentioned above–Miz Degeneres once owned the abode now owned by Jessica Simpson. But we digress from our digression....

In March of 2006 Miz Degeneres sold two of the four parcels that made up the bulk of her Laurel Canyon compound–the portion(s) she'd bought from Mister Mutchnick–to comedian Will Ferrell, a shamelessly funny man who parlayed his fame and popularity on Saturday Night Live into low-brow comedy movie super stardom. Another of the compound's homes, a boxy and glassy contemporary, wound up in the hands of daytime soap story stud Adrian Bellani (Guiding Light, Passions, RPM Miami) who in September 2007 paid, as per property records, $1,995,000 for the 2,267 square foot hillside house. Mister Bellani flipped the house back on the market in May 2009 but, alas, there were no takers. The 2 bedroom and 3 bathroom pad was de-listed in early February 2010 and our research show it remains in his property portfolio.

That, at long last, brings us back to the real estate matter at hand, The Tree House property that just popped up on the market with an asking price of $2,995,000.

In August 2005, about two years before Mister Bellani acquired the above-mentioned contemporary, Miz Degeneres sold The Tree House for $2,100,000 to a man who quickly flipped the property in June 2006 for $2,300,000 to Heath Ledger. Mister Ledger, as all the children surely know, went to meet the Great Director in the Sky in January 2008 when he accidentally overdosed on a lethal cornucopia of prescription pills. Within six months the executors of Mister Ledger's estate sold The Tree House for $2,500,000 to a Miami-based corporate concern.

A few minutes poking around on the interweb turns up evidence that directly connects the Miami-based corporate concern to a man named Gerardo Celasco, which happens to be the very same name that Adrian Bellani was born with. Gerardo Celasco also happens to be the very same name that appears on the deeds and documents for the boxy and glassy contemporary house next door that Mister Bellani bought in September 2007.

Now, children, let's be sensible: We're not able to say with 100% certainty that the Gerardo Celasco who bought The Tree House in July 2008 is the same Gerardo Celasco/Adrian Bellani who owns the boxy and glassy contemporary next door. Indeed, stranger things have happened but what are the odds that one Gerardo Celasco bought a house immediately next door to a different Gerardo Celasco?

Current listing information does not indicate the square footage of The Tree House but the Los Angeles County Tax Man's website indicates it's 1,861 square feet. Listing information does show the walled and gated 1951 modern has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus an office.

A gated brick stair case climbs down the hillside from the street to the front door but owners and their more favored guests are more likely to enter through the electronically gated driveway that gently slopes down from street level to the two-car garage and back entrance to the house.

Intimately scaled living and dining rooms both have pitched wood ceilings, polished concrete floors, and wide banks glass panels that slide and swing open to the approximately 2,500 square foot deck that cantilevers over the hillside and juts into the leafy tree tops of a mature sycamore grove.

The dining area of the deck, just off the dining room and the sleek galley-style kitchen, is open to the sky while the largest lounge area is shaded by a vast trellis structure that creates a confusing but pleasant striped pattern of shadows on the deck. Tucked back in to a cozy corner a seating area offers a built-in bench sofa and drop down projection screen for outdoor movie and reality tee-vee watching.

It's unclear to Your Mama if Mister Bellani occupies this residence, the one next door, or neither one. Given that we know about as much about Mister Bellani as a turnip knows about molecular metaphysics, it's entirely possible that Mister Bellani uses both of the properties as high-style and high-priced rental properties.

Certainly there are a lot of anti-Californians who will carp about the ridiculousness of the near three million dollar asking price for such a small house with no pool and no big city view. Your Mama also knows there are scads of scornful Real Estate Chicken Littles righteously convinced it's pie in the sky to even imagine this house could be sold for half a million more than was paid for it three years ago, before the economy totally soured and tanked the real estate market.

Howeveh, children, at the risk of engaging in the dangerous art of real estate soothsaying Your Mama would not be least bit surprised if this house sold quickly and if not close to asking price then certainly more than the $2,500,000 Mister Bellani's corporate concern (allegedly) paid for the place. It's just too good and too unique not to appeal to a deep pocketed buyer willing to pay big bucks to own a modestly-scaled residence that churns with a classic SoCal kind of modern architectural chutzpah. We shall see, puppies, we shall see.
