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.

U2 front man Bono recently sold his El Dorado co-op for $4.9 million. He originally bought the place for $3.4 million - a tidy little profit. According to The New York Observer, he had moved out of the apartment five years ago so he could live in Steve Jobs’ old place just down the block at San Remo.

The El Dorado place originally went on the market for $5.95 million in March 2006. Looks like over a year on the market and a $1 million price drop was what it needed. We don’t think he’ll miss a measly million though. This little abode has 2 small bedrooms, a master suite, and a nice view of Central Park from the living room and terrace.

Since Bono and his wife are still in the old Jobs’ apartment, it makes us wonder if he finally found what he’s looking for? Oh, c’mon. You knew that was coming, my darlings.

Kevin Spacey, such a private celeb that many real estate hounds didn’t even know he owned luxury property in Manhattan, recently lowered the price on his TriBeCa duplex condo from $5 million down to $4.675 million. But the word is out, now. As are the pics.

Speculation abounds about the size of Spacey’s unit (now, kiddies, don’t go there - we’re talking about his condo). Big Time listings reports that public records list it at 3418 square feet, while the property listing (which has since become unavailable), says 2363 square feet. Regardless, they all seem to agree that it has three bedrooms and two and a half baths.

It has some nice features. We especially like the kitchen, even though the cabinets are a tad on the dark side for our taste. But the number of cabinets, plus the buffet, more than make up for it. The master suite appears to have a walk-out terrace, and all of the rooms have lots of windows. And we are all about the natural lighting, my pretties.

We don’t have numbers on what Spacey bought the place for, nor is there any word on why the listing no longer comes up. Maybe someone already snapped up the place.

Spacey is known for a litany of films, our favorite being "The Usual Suspects." Although, his cameo in "Austin Powers (Goldmember)" comes in a close second. Remember, Keyser Sose is watching.

Earlier this year, country music star Kenny Chesney purchased a Malibu home for $7.4 million. Chesney is a superstar in Nashville land, regularly selling out his concerts.

The house is small by Malibu standards, with two bedrooms and three baths. Listings mention a pool, farmhouse kitchen, nicely-sized living areas and outdoor verandas. With just over a 1/2 acre, though, it’s no slouch in the land department. With gardens, lawns, water views, outdoor oven and barbecue, and an infinity pool (which we would love to have), this sounds like a nice little space for entertaining.

And since Chesney’s brief 2005 marriage to Renee Zellweger went by the wayside, he’s been enjoying his beach party lifestyle. This home certainly does help perpetuate that image. Having said all that, we do admit that Chesney’s concerts are not only wildly popular, but quite entertaining as well. And full of beer. Lots and lots of beer. Still, he’s come a long way from "She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy." Thankfully.

Update: No sooner did we report this news, and find that Chesney’s February purchase is already back up for sale. Chesney is said to be too busy to spend time in Malibu.

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.
