Rihanna bought a Beverly Hills mansion in 2009 for a cool $6.9 Million. However Rihanna is claiming she got screwed, and the seller hid a bunch of problems regarding the house.

In January 2010 the house was a hit my a rainstorm, which caused the house to leak and reveal a bunch of problems. Rihanna believes the seller knew about the problems, but hid them, reports TMZ.

Now Rihanna is suing the seller, the home inspector, the real estate agents, and the engineers who worked on the house. Her lawsuit claims, “the actual value of the property at the time of purchase, taking into consideration the extensive construction defects … was millions of dollars less” than the price she paid for it.

Sometimes its tough being rich.

Candy Spelling, mother to actress Tori Spelling, has sold her expensive home to a 22-year-old, reports E Online.

The home, which is the most expensive home on the U.S. market, was put for sale two years ago by Spelling for $150 million. The 4.7 acre Holmby Hills home belonged to her and late husband, Aaron Spelling, the producer of 90210.

Now, the home is apparently being sold to a 22-year-old heiress of a British billionaire. Yes, she’s 22, and yes, that’s ridiculous.

Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone, the daughter of billionaire racing boss Bernie Ecclestone, is up for the pad – and it’s going to cost her. The place has its own gift-wrapping room, for heavens sake.

As for Spelling, she has downsized to a $35 million penthouse in Century City. Rough life.

Everyone’s favourite crazy person, Charlie Sheen, is selling his infamous Beverly Hills mega-mansion… for a very cool price of $7.2 MILLION.

According to TMZ, Sheen has just listed the 7,924 square foot estate, marketing the place as a “Celebrity Home” complete with 5 bedrooms and 7 baths.

It also comes with several sexually transmitted diseases.

Charlie struck a deal with his ex-wife Brooke Mueller in their divorce, in which he paid her $1 million to take sole ownership of the house. And now he’s selling it. He just has money to blow, doesn’t he!

The listing reads: “This custom-built Mediterranean in Mulholland Estates is an entertainer’s dream with spacious public rooms, most of which open to a beautifully landscaped yard featuring a professional outdoor kitchen with dining area, pool and spa. Other features include a screening room and top-of-the-line appliances and finishes.”

They make it sound so romantic and beautiful, when really, it was just a very large crack house and stripper den. But I know many people out there are obsessed with celebrity memorabilia, so some rich dude will buy the house and live vicariously through Sheen’s past.

Kendra Wilkinson Receives a Wedding Invite to Hef’s Wedding… Via Email

Former ‘Girl Next Door’ Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, who complained to E! News not long ago that she hadn’t received her invitation to Hugh Hefner’s wedding, has finally received her wedding invitation. Via email.

That’s right – the former girlfriend to Hef revealed on Jay Leno’s ‘The Tonight Show’ Thursday that she has finally received the wedding invite to Hef and Crystal Harris’ wedding. In case you’re wondering who Crystal Harris is, she is a blonde Playmate (shocking.)

“I hadn’t gotten my invitation yet,” the reality star said. “I was a little bit worried, so I put it out there into the universe—the media,” she admitted. “You know, sometimes you have to use being a celebrity sometimes, get things out there and be like, ‘Where’s my invitation? Wink-wink.’”

“I actually got an email from Hef right after that,” she added.

Jay Leno also happened to have a copy of the email – oh the magic of television!

“Dear Kendra,” it read. “We haven’t sent any ‘Save the Dates,’ but if you can’t make the planned wedding on June 18, we’ll just change the date. Do you think I’d consider getting married without you being there?!”

“Keep shaking your booty. I love you. See you soon. All best, Hef.”

How sweet. I wonder if the two previous Girl Next Doors (Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt) got invited as well. Who knows, but Kendra insists she is attending.

“Yeah, of course,” Kendra said when Jay asked if she’d be going.

“He’s really, really happy about it,” she had said earlier. “He’s where he wants to be in life and I’m happy for him…I’m glad he’s doing what he wants to do.”

I don’t see the point of Hef getting married, but whatever makes him happy. He’s gone his entire life being a player and I never would have pegged him to be the married type, yet there he goes shocking everyone once again. Hey – congrads!

The Playboy Mansion’s legendary Grotto is under investigation after a respiratory epidemic following a party at the house earlier in the month.

TMZ reports that a survey was sent out to everyone who worked the party on Feb. 3 to see if there is a connection between the grotto and the sickness.

The survey specifically asks if the workers spent time around two party-centric “water features” on the property — 1) Grotto/pool … 2) Dance floor near fog machine.

The party was for Internet entrepreneurs. Fortunately the billionaire entrepreneurs have been able to afford decent healthcare. The same can’t be said for the workers.

Hollywood landmark or tragic scene?

TMZ is reporting that Brittany Murphy’s house is hitting the real estate market as her mom, Sharon Murphy, listed the L.A. mansion for US $7.25 million.

The spacious 8,000 square foot home, bought off Brittany Spears in 2004, is also known for being the location of Murphy’s death back in December, 2009.

The house is being held in a blind trust, and Sharon Murphy is named as the lone trustee with full discretion over the home. In a handwritten note left in her manager’s safe, Brittany Murphy left her entire estate to her mom.

Murphy’s will specifically exlcudes her husband, Simon Monjack. According to TMZ, the will reads, “”I am married to Simon Monjack who I have intentionally left out of this will.”

After selling the Hollywood mansion, both Sharon Murphy and Monjack plan on relocating to New York.

Does Jennifer Aniston really plan on dieing alone?

According to Perez Hilton, Aniston’s Beverly Hills mansion is going under renovations to transform it from a potential family home into a full-fledged bachelorette pad.

The star’s home “originally had his-and-hers baths, but Aniston has turned the ‘his’ into a spa bath with a soaking tub” reports Architectural Digest.

Aniston has been a single lady ever since her embarrassing breakup with John Mayor in 2009. Aniston apparently ended things with the acoustic rocker because, although he didn’t have enough time to wine-and-dine Aniston, he did have enough time to update his Twitter on an hourly basis.

Aniston’s other blunders in the men department include her short-time relationship with Vince Vaughn and, of course, her title as ex-wife of Brad Pitt.

50 Cent has been trying to sell his Farmington, Connecticut mansion for almost two years, according to Perez Hilton.

He paid $4.1 million for the 50,000 square foot, 19 bedroom house, and invested $6 million in repairs. The rapper said the place had a “Miami Vice feel” to it before he fixed it up, installing stripper poles and a disco.

He was originally asking $18.5 million for the house, but dropped his price to $14.5 million in 2008. He’s now hoping to receive $10.9 million – still $800,000 more than he spent on the place.
