She may be “Maid in Manhattan,” but Jennifer Lopez loves the Hamptons enough to spend $10 million on a chic 3-acre spread in Water Mill, NY.

First reported by the New York Post, Lopez, along with her young boyfriend Caspar Smart and her twins Max and Emme, were seen multiple times touring the property before Lopez officially dropped $10 million for the 8-bedroom, 7.5 bathroom, 8,500 square foot custom home.

Lopez’s new purchase is the perfect summer retreat with every amenity she and her family need including a sparkling pool, pool house, theater, sauna, steam room and covered porches. The light, bright Hamptons beach house is perfectly private and situated on a secluded cul-de-sac. The property features the gorgeous main home, as well as room for J-Lo to build a guest house and tennis court, if she’s so inclined.

This news comes on the heels of news that ex-husband Marc Anthony just spent $2.5 million on a new home in Encino, CA. Coast-to-coast, the former duo is buying up some high-priced real estate!

Quick info about Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Muñiz (née Lopez; born July 24, 1969) is an American actress, dancer, entrepreneur, fashion designer, film producer, philanthropist and singer. She became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry following a minor role in the 1986 film My Little Girl, to the dismay of her Puerto Rican parents, who believed that it was an unrealistic career route for a Hispanic. Lopez gained her first regular high-profile job as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color in 1991, where she remained a regular until she decided to pursue an acting career in 1993. She received her first leading role in the Selena biopic of the same name in 1997. Lopez became the first Latina actress to earn over $1 million for a role the following year, with the film Out of Sight. She ventured into the music industry in 1999 with her debut studio album, On the 6, joining a select few in successfully converting from a film to a music career.

The housing market may be bouncing back for a lot of people, but not Katy Perry, because we’ve learned she’s about to list her Hollywood Hills house for WAY less than the purchase price.

Katy bought the house with Russell Brand when they were married. She has full title and has been quietly trying to sell it for a long time, but she’s not getting anywhere near the $8 million she wants.

Katy wanted to avoid putting the house in the multiple listing service — which is the Paul Revere of the real estate world. She wanted to sell the house on the down-low, but it’s just not happening.

We’ve learned she’s agreed to put the house in the MLS in 2 weeks, and she’ll reduce the asking price to the mid 7s — as in millions. But here’s the deal … Our real estate sources say she’ll definitely sell it if someone offers in the high 6s.

The real estate market … hot again for most — cold for Katy.

“Vegas” star Dennis Quaid has purchased a $3.1 million home in the Pacific Palisades district of Los Angeles which, according to court records, is for the use of his soon-to-be ex-wife Kimberly Buffington and their two children.

2012 was a tough year for the couple, with two separations and dueling divorce filings, but Quaid is obviously taking his offer of spousal support to Buffington seriously. The 4 bed, 5 bath home has incredible Pacific views, a pool, and will offer plenty of room for Buffington and the children. He also picked a place where he could be comfortable: the neighborhood pedigree is all-Hollywood, with Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck, and Tom Hanks among the laundry list of stars who call the Pacific Palisades home.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian bought a home in Hidden Hills, CA, and toofab has all the photos!

The couple purchased the Spanish-style home as a short sale back in December. She They paid $3,000,000 in a short sale. At one time, the 8,642 square-foot house was listed for $5.75 million, so they got it for a great price.

LeAnn can tweet away from any of the 6 bedrooms and 9 bedrooms. She can sun her bikini bod at the pool. The home also boasts an outdoor dining area, gym and gorgeous exposed beams. The lot is 2.2 acres — plenty of room for Eddie’s sons Jake and Mason to play. It appears like there’s a guest house as well, but somehow we don’t think Brandi Glanville will be invited anytime soon. Check out the pics below:

QUICK INFO ABOUT LEANN RIMES

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (born August 28, 1982), known professionally as LeAnn Rimes, is an American country and pop singer. Known for her rich vocals, Rimes rose to stardom at age 13 following the release of the Bill Mack song “Blue”, becoming the youngest country music star since Tanya Tucker in 1972. Rimes made her breakthrough into country music in 1996 with her debut album, Blue, which reached number one on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified multiplatinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album’s eponymous leadoff single, “Blue”, became a Top 10 hit and Rimes gained national acclaim for her similarity to Patsy Cline’s vocal style. When she released her sophomore studio effort in 1997, You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, she moved towards country pop material, which set the trend for a string of albums released into the next decade.

Middle aged action flick actor Bruce Willis and his second and—natch—much younger wife, model Emma Heming, were in contract to buy a swank spread listed at $8,695,000 at the storied and gloried Eldorado building on Central Park West in New York City.

What the well informed lady property gossip at the New York Post surely knew but didn’t reveal—but the kids at Curbed did last fall—is that the seller of the completely renovated, art-filled and decoratively serene and sophisticated fourth floor apartment is none other than U2 bassist Adam Clayton who quietly pushed the apartment on the market last October with an $8,695,000 price tag.

Listing details don’t reveal the actual square footage of the nine into 7.5 room residence but a few quick tabulations on Your Mama’s hard-working abacus puts it at around 3,000 square feet, give or take. In its current configuration there are 19 windows—seven with direct Central Park views, four exposures, nine or ten closets depending on how one counts, four full bathrooms and three proper bedrooms and a shy handful of elegantly proportioned living and entertaining spaces.

QUICK INFO ABOUT BRUCE WILLIS

Walter Bruce Willis (born March 19, 1955) is an American actor, producer, and musician. His career began in television in the 1980s, most notably as David Addison in Moonlighting (1985–1989) and has continued both in television and film since, including comedic, dramatic, and action roles. He is well known for the role of John McClane in the Die Hard series, which were mostly critical and uniformly financial successes. He has also appeared in over sixty films, including box office successes like Pulp Fiction (1994), 12 Monkeys (1995), The Fifth Element (1997), Armageddon (1998), The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), Sin City (2005), Looper (2012) and Moonrise Kingdom (2012).

About two years ago, two-time Oscar nominated British actor Jude Law and his on-again/off-again/on-again gal-pal Siena Miller picked up a £7-plus million property in North London’s hoity-toity and star-studded Highgate neighborhood.

We don’t know when or if Mister Law (and Miss Miller) moved into their big new house in Highgate where some of the neighboring residences are owned by folks like supermodel Kate Moss, actor Clive Owens, pop star George Michael and veteran rock star Sting and wife Trudy Styler but thanks to an English informant we’ll call Bree Tish we’ve learned that Mister Law has listed his four-floor, Grade II listed Georgian style house on the border between London’s natty Maida Vale nabe and the even more posh St. John’s Wood ‘hood.

Online listings forwarded by Miss Tish show the asking price set at £4,350,000. A few quick clicks on Your Mama’s trusty currency conversion contraption shows that equals $6,869,910 (U.S.) at today’s rates.

According to Miss Tish, Mister Law’s walled and gated residence sits on a very busy thoroughfare across from a high-rise social housing complex. Not the most elegant location but as anyone who’se ever lived in a major metropolitan area, urban living sometimes pushes the privileged up against the less financially fortunate.

Anyhoo, a good-sized gated and graveled motor court with what appears to be a single car garage in front provides enviably generous off-street parking and the rear garden extends a unusually deep 144-feet.

QUICK INFO ABOUT JUDE LAW

He was a member of the main competition jury at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

Property records show that Mister Hawke acquired his fairly non-descript four-floor townhouse in the heart of Manhattan’s art gallery filled Chelsea district in April 2005 for an even-steven $3,000,000. The 21-foot wide townhouse, located just around the corner from the perennially-popular Billy’s Bakery on Ninth Avenue, contains two units with a total of six bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, according to listing information and the floor plan included with online marketing materials.

The well-organized ground floor apartment has a private entrance, a 14-foot(ish) square living room with wood burning fireplace surmounted by a large flat screen t.v., a compact but efficient U-shaped kitchen, two small bedrooms, one (windowless) bathroom and two surprisingly large walk-in closets. One of the bedrooms opens directly to a terrace and deep garden that—unfortunately—is in full view of a large apartment building to the north.

The triplex owners unit is entered on the parlor floor through a private entry and stair hall with a half bathroom that is both convenient and perfectly located for privacy. Double pocket doors connect through to the main living area that includes a south-facing living room with fireplace (that may or may not be in working order) and a built-in bookshelf lacquered a deep grass green and filled with actual books. The day-core is quite colorful, multi-patterned and suitably actor-bohemian with a funky patchwork rug on top of what looks to be original wood floors, an upright piano and a fairly spare collection of comfortably mis-matched upholstered pieces.

QUICK INFO ABOUT ETHAN HAWKE

Ethan Green Hawke (born November 6, 1970) is an American actor, writer and director.

While tennis titaness Serena Williams serves, smacks and slams her way toward the finals in Melbourne at the Australian Open her people back in Los Angeles have just about sold a high-floor condo she (allegedly) owns along the Wilshire Corridor with an listing price of $1,850,000.

We first heard this from Our Fairy Godmother in Beverly Hills who thought the condo in question maybe belonged to Serena’s almost as bad ass on the tennis court older sister Venus but according to The Bizzy Boys at Celebrity Address Aerial, the 15th floor spread actually belongs to Serena Williams who picked the place up way back in September 2002 for $1,275,000.

Venus Williams fancies herself a bit of an interior decorator—she has a full-service commercial and residential decoratin’ firm called V*Starr based in Jupiter, FL—and presumably she once had a hand in the day-core of her little sister’s L.A. condo but listing photos now show a very pared down situation that looks more like Staging Lady in a Pink Toyota has been all up in there working her special brand of generic decorative—ahem—magic.

Anyhoo, the 2,403 square foot condo crib has direct elevator access into a cramped foyer that opens into a decently roomy but hardly huge, sun-splashed living/dining room combination with hardwood floors, a corner (gas) fireplace and two large sets of windows with urban views over the tops of the surrounding condo buildings.

QUICK INFO ABOUT SERENA WILLIAMS

At the New York City apartment the actors share with their children, the interior design firm Gomez Associates has balanced practicality with sleek, subtle refinements.

There was no script, no pilot, basically just a sketch of an idea: a television comedy about a New York family man with a disability. But the lead role was to be played by Michael J. Fox, and the story lines would be loosely based on his experiences living with Parkinson’s disease for the past two decades. (The actor’s eponymous foundation has raised more than $300 million for Parkinson’s research.) Multiple networks wanted the show. NBC, which committed to producing 22 episodes, won the bidding war, and Fox’s return to a starring prime-time role is slated for next fall.

The series undoubtedly will feature his character in scenes at home. Chances are, however, the set won’t look much like the Manhattan apartment Fox shares with his wife, actor Tracy Pollan, and their four children in an august Upper East Side building. That apartment is their sanctuary. Private. For family and friends. And, until recently, not exactly camera-ready.

QUICK INFO ABOUT MICHAEL J. FOX
