Star-struck in Malibu
Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez and singer Jennifer Lopez have sold their oceanfront home in Malibu for $6.775 million. The A-list couple bought the place for $6.6 million last year from actor Jeremy Piven.
The three-story house features wraparound decking and two upper balconies overlooking the ocean. Some 4,400 square feet of interiors include five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
Lopez, 51, has sold roughly 80 million records worldwide and appeared in 34 films, including “Selena.”
Rodriguez, 45, notched 696 home runs and 3,115 hits across 22 seasons with the Mariners, Rangers and Yankees. The 14-time All-Star Game player has worked as a baseball analyst for Fox Sports and ESPN.
A brotherly breakup?
Chris, Liam and Luke Hemsworth are ready to part with the hillside home they share in Malibu, listing the place they own through a trust for $4.9 million.

The tiered property covers 1.3 acres.
Chris Hemsworth, 37, is known for his role as Thor in the Marvel cinematic universe. Liam Hemsworth, 30, gained fame in “The Hunger Games” trilogy. And Luke Hemsworth, 39, is in HBO’s sci-fi western show “Westworld.”

‘Fresh’ air in Brentwood
Actor Will Smith, in collaboration with the current property owner, has listed the mansion from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” on Airbnb, and the rate seems unreal: $30 a night. The home — which is actually in Brentwood — will be available to rent for five one-night stays in early October.
Touted as “The Freshest Los Angeles Mansion Around,” the listing says guests will have access to the master wing, which is full of amenities inspired by the show. They can also head to the dining room, complete with a throne, and the posh backyard with a swimming pool and outdoor lounge.
The listing is part of the promotion of a “Fresh Prince” reunion on HBO Max to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary.
For fans, it offers a rare opportunity to access the mansion. Records show the property hasn’t publicly traded hands since it sold in 1978 for $732,000.
Mansion hits it out of the park
Baseball legend and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter has put his waterfront Tampa, Fla., mansion on the market for $29 million.
The mammoth listing arrives a few months after reports surfaced that Jeter was renting out the waterfront mansion to Tom Brady, who signed a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the offseason.
Set on more than an acre, the custom estate spans 22,000 square feet (not including the 9,000 square feet of decks and balconies). Clad in hand-carved granite and limestone, the palatial home has seven bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.
Jeter, 46, spent his 20-year career with the New York Yankees, making 14 All-Star appearances along with five World Series titles. He bought a minority stake in the Miami Marlins three years ago and currently serves as the team’s chief executive.
From the archives
Thirty years ago, pop singer Kenny Loggins and then-wife, Eva, put their nearly 20-acre estate in Montecito on the market at $14 million. Centuries-old beams and timbers had been used to create the custom Italianate villa, along with antique pavers, handcrafted iron, blown glass and hand-crafted bricks.
Twenty years ago, Emmy-winning actor Hank Azaria bought a Beverly Hills-area home for just under $2 million. The design of the newly built house, with four bedrooms in nearly 5,000 square feet, was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture.
Ten years ago, the Brentwood home where iconic actress Marilyn Monroe died sold for $3.85 million. Los Angeles Times reports from the time of Monroe’s 1962 death described the place as a rambling Spanish-style home that she had recently purchased for $75,000 and only partially furnished.

Did you know you can blur the picture of your house on Google Street View? Mashable explains how it’s done and why you might want to do so. There’s one caveat, however: once you’ve blurred the image, it’s permanent.
People with way too much time on their hands over at Apartment Therapy marked the 50th anniversary of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” by dissecting her Queen Anne Victorian-style apartment from the pilot episode. Apparently, the striped wallpaper, shag carpet, stained-glass kitchen windows and high beamed ceilings were “the epitome of single girl cool” back then.
