Actress Teri Garr has just listed her house in Brentwood for $3.995 million. Built in in 1924 (according to the listing), the house has two bedroom suites, with the master filling the entire second floor. It has a rear garden with pool/spa, three bathrooms, and a guesthouse above the garage.

We just love the massive windows and vaulted ceiling in the master suite. But there’s a bit too much white all over the house for our taste. The rooms seem fairly spacious — especially with the multiple sets of french doors leading outside, which really open up the rooms. There’s a lot of greenery surrounding the place, too, which lends to some nice privacy. We wouldn’t mind sitting out on the patio with a good book and nice, tall glass of tea.

It appears that a lot of craftsmanship went into this home. Look closely at the kitchen for some good storage over and next to the door. And there’s a nice little wine rack system built into the counter that opens out into the dining room.

Garr is reportedly selling the home due to her health. She’s best known for her roles in movies like Young Frankenstein, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Tootsie, and Mr. Mom.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn put their Broad Beach Road house up for lease this summer. The cost? Only $95,000. Per month, two month minimum from June to September.

Well, what do you get for that tiny wad of cash? According to the listing, the master suite has floor-to-ceiling windows, a beachfront balcony, a luxurious spa-inspired bath area, and walk-in closet. The house also has a media/screening room, two other large bedroom suites, and a detached guest/meditation room and gym. You know, to meditate on why you’re not down on the beach just feet away. Or to work out so you’ll look fabulous on said beach.

Take a close look at the picture and you’ll see a great entertainment area with some serious green lawn space. And the view in the background? Spectacular vistas of the Pacific, my darlings.

The listing, as Real Estalker points out, mentions that the rental home is for sale. We’re not sure if that’s a typo or if they’ve actually listed the property. Since there’s no other price listed, we think it’s just a rental. For now.

File this under if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Donald Trump is apparently asking an exorbitant rent for a  Park Avenue luxury penthouse. Try $200,000 per month. Yes, per month, not year. Ouch.

The New York Post reports that the duplex condo has 10 rooms including 3 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. Does anyone with a 3 bedroom place really need 6 1/2 baths? Maybe if you throw huge parties. The condo in Trump Park Avenue also boasts high ceilings, a grand staircase, large terraces, and panoramic views of Manhattan. Nice. If you don’t want to rent it, you can always buy it for $45 million.

The broker claims, of course, that it’s the most impressive residence on Park Avenue - which is teeming with posh addresses. With 6200 square feet, a library, a den, chandeliers, a 45-foot-long living room, and more than 50 windows, maybe it is the most impressive. But if it doesn’t sell for $45 million, will Trump tell his broker "You’re fired"? That would make him a parody of himself. Not that he isn’t one already.

  By the way, the building provides full hotel services, valet parking, and a full health club. Ah, New York living at its finest. Nice work if you can get it, no? Who knows, maybe Rosie O’Donnell will make up with "The Donald" and buy this lovely place from him. Okay, so maybe that’s going a little too far. Eventually someone will come along, pay that $200K per month and say it’s a steal.

And the rest of us will look at them like they’re crazy. Except other New Yorkers. They’ll probably be thinking "Anymore, that’s a fair deal for New York luxury real estate."

Looks like Shannen Doherty placed her 3,410 square-foot house in Malibu for sale last week. The house, on Winding Way in Malibu, is listed at $4,400,000 — which is over $1.8 million more than she paid for it.

The house was built in 1976, has five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and an ocean view. According to the property listing, it sits on over one acre and boasts a flower-lined drive leading up to a large motor court. The master suite even has a fireplace for those chilly Malibu nights. Oh, and she’s apparently throwing in most of the appliances, too.

Didn’t Spider-Man just buy an acre for $10 million in Brentwood? And this is a Malibu property with an acre for under a half million? Why, it’s practically a steal. Unless, of course, it just so happens to be located near mud slide areas. And while the "towering trees" and "fragrant gardens" sound nice, will they be so great when the yearly fires come through? Of course, my pretties, don’t worry about fires if you’re interested in this property. It has survived since the 70s, hasn’t it? Odds are pretty good it’s not in that part of Malibu. An ocean view doesn’t necessarily mean the home is perched on a cliff, now, does it? So you’re probably safe from mud slides, too. Probably.

We haven’t heard yet why Doherty is placing the house for sale. But she does still own another Malibu home, so maybe she’s tired of the upkeep. Or maybe, with her reputation of being hard to work with, she’s having trouble finding a gig and needs to save money? After all, rumors abounded on both "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed" about her attitude. Notice both shows went on without her? Hmmm, we’ll have to wait and see on that one, darlings.

Raffaello Follieri, an Italian business man and real estate mogul wannabe, was charged with writing a bad check. And not just any bad check, dear ones. A check for $215,000 (TMZ reports $250K). Ouch. Now that is creative financing, no? The NY Post reports that the account he used only had $39 and some change in it. Wow. That’s some brass-plated you-know-whats the boy has there.

And poor little Anne Hathaway was dragged into her boyfriend’s saga when cops started pushing her to tell them where he was. The girl broke down in tears when questioned. Aw, the dearie has had enough embarrassments with Follieri.

This isn’t the first of Follieri’s woes. He was sued by Ron Burkle, a supermarket mogul for inappropriate expenditures. And there’s a lot of skepticism about his Catholic land deals, too. Looks like he just can’t keep his money under control.

Little Miss Hathaway should seriously consider her ties with her wild-card boyfriend before she gets involved in more than just getting queried by police.

We had last heard that Michael Jackson had made a deal to save his neglected Neverland, but the newest dish is that he didn’t exactly refinance his $24+ million loan.

Fox 411 reports that a foreclosure is still scheduled for the declining property. In fact, the public auction is set for May 14 in Santa Barbara.

Looks like one of Jacko’s lawyers made a teensy-tiny error with the statement that a deal was made. Instead, there’s only a two-month extension on the auction. So developers can go back to salivating over this prime property. Oh, the greedy development dreams they must be having!

Apparently a group in LA has funded an escrow account with $46 million to make a refinance deal with MJ on Neverland. But while they thought they were working with Jacko’s people, it’s rumored that it was Jackson’s former manager Raymone Bain behind the chaos — and MJ knew nothing about it!

It’s a confusing mess over there, with new reports coming in all the time. Jackson’s going to sell Neverland. No, he’ll never let it go. He’s going to refinance. No, he can’t. Wait, there’s a deal in line! Never mind, that was a crazy scheme by someone else!

So is the LA group going to make a deal? We’re not sure, but the escrow account is apparently still funded. The Real Estalker reports yet another rumor that MJ managed to get his loan at Fortress restructured. We’re just as skeptical about the rumored deals as RE is, though, considering such a large sum of money is at stake. It’s doubtful that a big old finance company would want to keep giving breaks to MJ when there’s so much money to be had in the deal.

Will Jackson sell the property before the auction? Oh darlings, it’s anyone’s guess at this point. The behind-the-scenes shenanigans are enough to give us a headache. Jacko just continues to attract the drama, doesn’t he?

Who hasn’t heard of the embittered divorce proceedings between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills? Nastiness ensued as Mills asked for a healthy sum of money for her four years with the music icon (was it really only four years - it seems so much longer, doesn’t it). She was awarded less than one-fifth of her original settlement demands. During the divorce battles, though, tales of McCartney’s real estate holdings have been making the rounds.

According to This is London, McCartney’s properties span the globe. And as fabulously wealthy as Sir Paul is, these luxury properties are no slouches.

The properties This is London mentioned include:

A town house in upmarket St. John’s Wood (London)

A mid-town Manhattan apartment

A house on Long Island

A home in Beverly Hills

Peasmarsh, a 1500-acre estate in East Sussex, where he spent a lot of time with his beloved first wife, Linda

A country retreat in the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland

Additional homes in East Sussex, Essex, Somerset and Merseyside

There has been speculation on the ownership of the house in Beverly Hills. But some of Real Estalker’s sources insist that Sir Paul owns the place and it’s just in a trust in someone else’s name. (Apparently these days it’s not just all the gold in California that’s in Beverly Hills in somebody else’s name.) The obscenely rich Sir Paul intends to live quietly, though, spending much of his time at Peasmarsh or St. John’s Wood. Poor man. It seems he just can’t find the companionship he once had with his dear, departed Linda.
