It's getting crowded on the west side! LeBron James traded in his Brentwood Park traditional in 2017 for a larger, newer, bigger, better contemporary manse just up the street in the summer of 2017 for a cool $23M. He's been enjoying the high life there (high up on a hill, with a nice view of Santa Monica and the Bay) and now he's got a new neighbor -- perhaps even richer than he! -- Formula One Group heiress Petra Ecclestone.
She's British, you may not have heard of her -- she plunked down $85 million for the Aaron Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills when she made her debut in LA, moving here from London eight years ago. Well, perhaps she decided being in smog-ridden Beverly Hills-ish wasn't so great, so she decided to downsize and move to the west side where she can breathe a bit. And it wasn't a bad deal for her -- the buyer just paid $120 million for the former spelling estate -- a record for LA County so far this year!
With just about half the profit, she picked up this Brentwood mansion for $22.7M which features 8 bedrooms, 13 baths, 4 fireplaces, and certainly tons of other bells and whistles. It's not quite completed, so she'll be able to put the finishing touches on this dream home. Perhaps she's camping out at neighbor LeBron's house while her carpenters hammer their last nails! The two mega-rich A-listers will be just across the street from each other, within cup-a-sugar-borrowing distance.
Another A-lister's preparing to move in just up the street -- an A-list couple, that is -- Michelle Pfeiffer and hubby David E. Kelley. They just bought up THREE adjacent lots in Pacific Palisades' tony Riviera neighborhood. They're already quite advanced in the construction of an architectural masterpiece by famed firm Johnston Marklee. It's a crazy cool contemporary that will house the couple's impressive art collection and which overlooks Santa Monica Bay with a spectacular hillside view. It's just around the corning from Kate Hudson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and a billion other celebs who call Riviera home.
Just some real estate porn to tide you over on this Friday!

Jake Paul is the king of fake-outs, which is why we question his engagement to Tana Mongeau in the first place (btw, 90% of you think their engagement is fake, according to our poll) ... and NOW we're questioning his Caci Twins' claim that they found a pregnancy test in his bathroom!
When we caught up with Jake and Tana last night at Craig's, we asked the newly-engaged couple if she's pregnant with twins because ... why not? The Caci Twins say Tana's trying to hide her pregnancy from Jake because why -- she wanted to make sure he was marrying her for love and not for paternity?
Still going strong! After much speculation over Britney Spears' relationship with personal trainer Sam Asghari, a new video the singer posted proves they're still together!
Spears and Asghari show off their amazing bods in a clip that begins with a montage of photos and flows into a dance video -- YES, a dance video! These two are HOT!!!

Hey, Kimye have friends in high places ... all the way to President Trump in the White House! So when friend and fellow rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested and jailed in Sweden, Kanye and his wife went all the way to the top to try to help. The power couple have reportedly "lobbied" the President to help with A$AP's release after being held now for two weeks on assault charges.
Most would argue the rapper is being held unfairly in relation to a street fight captured on video on June 30. After A$AP's bodyguard tried to fend off an oddly aggressive fan, Rocky eventually stepped in to tell the dude to get away.
So Kim reportedly picked up the phone and called Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to see what he could do. Seems Ivanka's hubby wasn't too busy negotiating peace in the Middle East, so he said he'd help but was unable to connect with A$AP's peeps. Come on, Rocky, tell your staff to answer the damn phone when the White House calls!
The State Department previously raised concerns about Rocky's detention, urging Sweden to treat the rapper "fairly." Reports claim he's being held in solitary confinement.
A$AP's lawyer Alan Jackson, says, "President Trump has made bringing home unjustly held Americans a top priority for his administration. The State Department's interest in the case gives us great hope for Rocky's situation."

Don't try to tell Khloe Kardashian how she feels about baby daddy Tristan Thompson, 'cause if you do, she'll set you STRAIGHT!
The reality star/denim maven corrected an online commenter who posted about Khloe "hating" Tristan. A fan posted a side-by-side photo of the former couple's daughter True and remarked on the little tyke's likeness to Tristan. The poster wrote, "I know Khloe hates Tristan, but baby True starting to look just like him."
Well Khlo saw it and she clapped right back! She wrote, "Why would I ever hate anyone who helped create such an angel? People make mistakes, but I won’t hurt my own healing by holding on to hate. I’m too busy raising my beautiful baby and securing that [money] to hate any individual. Sweet True has always looked like her daddy. She’s beautiful!!"
Seriously, the KarJenner clan has had some much sh*t to deal with in their love lives with cheating and lying and so much more and yet they always get rid of the hate and keep love at the forefront. They forgive and move on to keep a positive vibe going and despite all the other criticism we could launch against the family, this is one area we won't tough because they have big hearts!

Is Hailey Baldwin DONE with modeling?!
The supermodel hinted at not being happy with a recent catwalk performance on her Instagram Story on Wednesday and it's left fans wondering ... is she quitting?
Hails has been seen on runways from Dolce & Gabbana to Off-White to Tommy Hilfiger and more. But apparently her performance on the runway has been bugging her because the pic she shared on Insta is from last year's Zadig & Voltaire Fall/Winter 2018 show. She circled her arm and gave herself notes on why the placement was wrong, writing, "What I do know, is that ur arm truly should never swing this high when ur walking on a runway.. hence why it is not, and will never be my thing again lol."
NEVER AGAIN?! Sounds like she's done with runway, at least -- but we have a feeling she'll continue to do plenty of print modeling. She's gorgeous and confident and successful, why would she stop?

This is pretty funny ... Cardi B and hubby Offset break down the lyrics of their new hit "Clout" with Jimmy Kimmel serving as translator, converting the couple's phrases into old-people language so they can understand rap.
The former stripper showed off her curves in a full-length tie-dye bodysuit with a pretty large "keyhole" cutout at the cleavage as she arrived with the adorably Migos rapper. Fans went wild for Cardi outside Kimmel's studio and audience members loved the lyrics bit, but loved the final performance of "Clout" even more. Check 'em out!
Now Kylie's promoting Scott Disick's stuff! The makeup maven is on a luxury trip with her pals, including Scott's girlfriend Sofia Richie, in the Turks and Caicos, Instagramming up a storm, promoting her new skincare line Kylie Skin. But yesterday the young billionaire threw up a pic for her collab with almost-brother-in-law Scott Disick and his Talentless clothing line. There's always something to advertise when you're a KarJenner ... even if you're just promoting yourself!
Speaking of promoting yourself, Kylie is taking every opportunity on this trip to remind us how hot she is -- plenty of bikinis and boobs ...
At the end of the day, it's a family affair ... Kylie brought along daughter Stormi and, though he's never pictured, Travis Scott is there in the shadows, enjoying a WORKING vacation!
