Al Reynolds moves back in with Star Jones
Who says you can’t go home again? Star Jones’ trifling ex-husband Al Reynolds has moved back in with his former bride, Page Six reports.
Al, who is gay, is reportedly running around telling his boyfriends he lives in a fabulous townhouse on NY’s West Side. But the townhouse belongs to Star.
Once again, Big gay Al is taking advantage of Star’s easygoing, trustworthy nature.
If you recall, Al sued Star after their divorce — accusing her of forcing him to quit his job as a stockbroker. Al whined that he was left broke and penniless.
Then he got a gig pretending to be Evelyn Lozada’s friend on “Basketball Wives.” But apparently the BBQ Wives money isn’t very long.
Pilar Sanders released from jail, ordered to stay away from Deion
Welp, Deion Sanders got his wish. After months of dealing with an unwanted guest in his palatial Dallas estate, a judge has ordered his estranged wife Pilar Sanders to stay away from the mansion.
Pilar, who was arrested Monday night on domestic abuse charges after Mr. Sanders accused her of assaulting him, was released from a Dallas jail Tuesday morning.
According to a CBS local affiliate, Collin County magistrate Paul Raleeh granted Mr. Sanders an emergency protective order against her.
The order means Pilar can’t go anywhere near the estate — and if she so much as breathes on Deion in public she will be locked up until her trial.
Now Mr. Sanders can move Hollywood trampoline Tracey Edmonds into his home. Babyface’s ex-wife and Mr. Sanders have been dating for months. Pilar cited Edmonds as the reason for the breakup of their marriage.
Like her messed up attitude had nothing to do with the break up.
Alicia Keys luxury NY pad on the market for $17.9M
If you have an extra $17.9 million lying around, you can purchase singer Alicia Keys’ New York triplex apartment.
From the NY Post’s Page Six:
Alicia Keys and her hip-hop producer husband, Swizz Beatz, are looking to unload their luxury penthouse on Crosby Street for $17.9 million. The duo bought the lavish SoHo condo in 2010 for $14.5 million from Lenny Kravitz. (The rocker had the apartment — which has also played home to Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington — on the market for eight years before Keys locked in a deal.) The 6,167-square-foot triplex has 3,000 square feet of terrace space, five bedrooms, four baths, four “powder rooms,” a “state-of-the-art windowed gourmet eat-in kitchen” and “formal dining room . . . encased in a glass solarium,” according to a Sotheby’s listing. And a “floating glass staircase” leads to a “private master suite complete with spa.” There’s an “automated entertainment system” and home theater, plus a wine cellar. Pictures posted of the pad reveal portraits of Keys, Sade, Muhammad Ali and Keith Haring art on the walls, and a Ducati motorcycle parked inside. Keys’ rep declined to comment.

Michael Jordan puts Chicago mansion on the market for $29M; downsizes to smaller home
Former NBA superstar Michael Jordan is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But prior to proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Yvette Prieto, in December, the couple moved out of his 32,000 square foot Chicago mansion, and into a modest 2,600 sq ft house in a suburb of Miami.
According to the Huffington Post, the asking price for Jordan’s Chicago mansion is $29 million. The 32,683 square foot house is being sold fully-furnished, including the customized gate with the Chicago Bulls star’s former number, 23.
The contemporary 2-story house, which was built in 1995, contains nine bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms and 4 half baths. (And of course, a full basketball court.) It boasts an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor tennis court and a driving range and putting greens for those golf enthusiasts among you.
If you’re interested in purchasing Jordan’s former home, you can contact the listing agents Baird & Warner, but you must be pre-qualified for a $29 million dollar loan before you can take a tour of the home.
Police investigate man’s death at home of rapper Rick Ross
Trouble seems to follow rapper Rick Ross wherever he goes. TMZ.com reports that a man was found dead inside the gates of Ross’ $1.2 million dollar Miami Gardens mansion.
Sources tell TMZ that the former corrections officer-turned-rapper left the premises before homicide detectives arrived. Police found the 40-year-old victim laying inside a gate at the home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police sources tell TMZ that they don’t know if the victim had any connection to Ross, but since Ross is listed as the homeowner — and the death occurred on his property, cops want to ask Ross a few questions about the situation.
Public records show that Ross purchased the mansion in 2008. Miami Gardens is a suburb just North of Miami, Florida.
In Case You Missed It: Real Housewives of Atlanta, Ep 11
I didn’t watch last night’s episode of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, but from what I could tell from watching part 1 of the video, Marlo and NeNe are besties now (probably a mandatory requirement of their Bravo TV contracts). When NeNe describes her and Marlo’s friendship, she can’t even keep a straight face. She knows she’s lying!
Marlo gives Nene a tour of her “mansion”, which in reality was a foreclosed townhome she purchased (or leased) near St. Joseph’s hospital in Sandy Springs.
Marlo got the townhouse for a steal just below $300K. But you can’t tell that from watching Marlo’s go on and on about her high security surveillance to protect her from stalkers. And what does she need with a staff in that little house? Just to show you how small her house is, the 3rd floor consists of her bedroom and a smaller bedroom which she converted into a closet.
If you look at the pictures from Marlo’s viewing party held in December, her decorator, Michele Boyd, did a good job of making the basement of the townhouse look like a grand mansion. But don’t be fooled.
Also, in this episode, Kim Zolciak dissolves into tears at the thought of her baby daddy Kroy Biermann leaving her to play for the Atlanta Falcons on the road (whose going to play with her while he’s gone).
Watch the full episode after the break.
Drake Dumping Massive Condos Featured in “I’m On One” Video
The real estate market is still in a slump, so why would Canadian rapper Drake drop almost $2 mil on luxury condos in Miami? Probably because he believed the real estate broker’s pitch that the housing market was hot again, and his 2 investment properties would increase in value.
Now Drake is trying to cut his losses, and he hopes one of you will love him enough to want to tattoo his name on your forehead take his 2 condos off his hands.
According to TMZ.com:
Drake put the properties up for sale last week — located right next door to each other in Miami’s ritzy Marquis highrise — listing one for $1.9 million and the other for $599,000. Drake combined the two into one MASSIVE condo, and lived in both simultaneously.
The larger one is a sprawling 3,800 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The “smaller” one-bedroom condo is still gigantic … at 1,675 square feet.
Drake purchased the properties together in January 2011 for a combined price of $1.903 million. So, if Drake gets his asking price … he’ll make $596,000 in profit (even though no one ever gets their asking price).
