Hayden Panettiere is the latest owner of this $2.6 million arrangement of block shapes, and windows.
Deceptively large on the outside, the L.A. hillside home boasts a mere three bedrooms, not including the mystery barracks on the far right. Other perks include a 360 degree view of dead foliage, and the world's largest air conditioning duct display.

If you're looking for a 4,700 square foot Brentwood Villa previously owned by Ving Rhames for under 3 mil you're in luck. 
If you're looking for another house from the same Ving dynasty where a man died you'll have to wait -- Rhames still lives there. No word yet as to why Ving isn't selling the house where his caretaker died of a heart attack last year following a tragic run-in with multiple dogs on the property.
It's a strange market indeed.

Joaquin Phoenix isn't just retiring from Hollywood (**cough, BS, cough**) -- sources tell us, he's moving the hell out too!
We're told Joaquin just put his 3,200 sq. ft. Hollywood Hills home on the market through realtor.com. The four-bedroom, five-bath home comes with a swimming pool and a hot tub -- all for just $3,975,000.
Small price to pay to make sure there isn't a sequel to "The Village."

What in the name of Jor-El is going on with Nicolas Cage?!
The Cagester has just listed his New Orleans home for $3.7 million -- which is the third house Cage has on the market -- and it's a bad time to sell, to say the least.
In addition to the 13,000 sq. foot N.O. home that was just listed on Realtor.com, Cage has listed his homes in Rhode Island and Bel Air, at $15.9 million and $30 million respectively.
And Cage recently sold his 132 foot yacht -- reportedly for $7.7 million.
If Nic shows up at your front door with a pillow and a sleeping bag, now you know why.
No comment yet from Cage's people.

As if life couldn't get any better for Tom Brady being a hot, rich NFL quarterback with a supermodel girlfriend -- now it turns out the football star just made a killing in real estate. Donald Trump, we've found your apprentice.
In 2006, Brady bought a Boston building and began renovating and converting it into four condos. According to the Boston Globe, the New England Patriot kept the top floor for himself and recently sold the other three to a South American businessman for $7.95 million -- about $1.7 million more than he paid for the entire building. Housing crisis? What national housing crisis?!
Besides the Boston property, Brady recently purchased a plot of dirt in L.A. for $11 million and put his NYC pad on the market for $19 million. Comparatively, the Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo is living on skid row, purchasing a home in Dallas for under $700K and having girlfriend Jessica Simpson decorate it. Oh, the humanity.

Dane Cook has apparently decided renting apartments is for people who don't make zillions and have a dog that craps in common areas.
After losing an eviction case because a jury decided Dane's dog was pooping with aplomb in the common areas, Dane dropped a pile on a Hollywood Hills mansion -- $7,078,412 to be specific.
Now Beast the pinscher can pinch a loaf wherever he feels like it, including on the Travertine Navona floors!

We've confirmed the guy who went into escrow to buy Ed McMahon's house has pulled out of the deal.
We're told the buyer never came up with any cash ... which means the whole thing sounds phony. The escrow was opened without a deposit, but the buyer never put his money where his mouth was.
So that leaves Ed with no place to live if the house does go into foreclosure ... which again leads to the doorstep of Donald Trump. Trump has said he'd step in again and buy the house and lease it back to Ed for life. Our sources say Donald has offered a low ball offer already, but that's it.
We're told Trump has had discussions with Ed's realtor, Alex Davis, since the deal fell apart last Thursday. Will Donald save the day or is this a publicity stunt? We know the stumbling block with Trump is price -- he hasn't offered what Ed wants/needs to get the monkeys off his back.

Is that "Frasier" money not enough?
Already making some serious TV syndication coin, Kelsey Grammer stands to make a cool $6 mil off a house he just bought a year ago!
According to the LA Times, Grammer has listed an English Country-style estate in Holmby Hills for $19.9 million. He bought the house last summer for $13.7 mil.
You would think his wife Camille's notorious IBS would drive the price down, not up. To each their own.

Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn have put their big-time Marin County, Calif. home up for sale. Anyone got a spare $15 mil lying around??
The Penns bought the 10,000 square foot mega-manse for a steal in '96 -- paying just $2.1 million for it. Then they spent two years fixing up the joint, and turned the 1933 Spanish-style home into a serious crib.
The two-story house has five bedrooms, a home office, a nanny suite, a home gym and a three-car garage -- plus a two bedroom guest house that has its own two-car garage. It also has all the standard celebrity home accouterments: pool, tennis court, big lawn and gardens and a dog run.
Sean and Robin filed, then unfiled, for divorce last year. Maybe they're moving in with Josh.

When you have seven children from five different women you need a big house.
Lucky for Rod Stewart, his 18,700 square foot Beverly Hills estate has 8 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms on 4 acres of land-- enough space for everyone to play nice.
The place is huge, but to put it in perspective, Candy Spelling's new apartment is smaller by about 2,000 square feet. Her APARTMENT!
Filed under: Paparazzi Photo, Celebrity Pay Dirt
Even Candy Spelling is feeling the housing crunch -- she's scaling back from the infamous Spelling mansion to a paltry 16,500 square foot penthouse.
Spelling just dropped $47 million (!!!) of her late husband's money on a two-floor condo that is a third of the size of her 56,500 square foot Holmby Hills estate. The apartment is located on the 41st and 42nd floors of the brand new Century building and won't be ready until 2009 -- around the time Tori gives birth to her fifth rugrat.
Candy is giving up her notorious gift wrapping room, 3,500 square foot closet and bowling alley and making do with the condo's two fireplaces, dining room for 25, staff quarters, massage room, rose garden and private swimming pool. These are tough times, people!
