Now that the two share the same last name, they may be ready to purchase a new home together, and they’ll have some serious spending power! According to Celebrity Net Worth, Justin is worth an estimated $70 million and Jessica has a net worth of $18 million. The couple is reportedly residing in Justin’s Hollywood Hills home, which he purchased in 2002 for $8.3 million dollars. The 13,530 sq. ft. Spanish-style manse has six bedrooms and ten baths, and sits on three secluded acres.

Redfin scoured the L.A. area to find the perfect home for the newlyweds. Based on their previous homes, they’ll likely be interested in a Mediterranean-style home with lots of privacy. No doubt it will be adorned with home furnishings and decor from Justin’s HomeMint collection. Estee Stanley, his partner on the HomeMint project, told Rolling Stone their design preferences are “based on a European vibe. We’re more into antiques than contemporary pieces.

He came to us with very specific demands. 1) His cat condo – err castle – had to be better than Boo’s house. 2) It had to have enough space to host the Evil Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, whose members shall remain anonymous. 3) It had to be tall enough to see all of his minions below. 4) The neighborhood had to be completely devoid of birds.

When we arrived at the location of the first cat condo, I could smell the scotch on his breath. I wasn’t sure if that was a good sign. The condo was a lovely tri-level with an open floor plan. The modern décor and unique design was perfect for Colonel Meow. Towering at four and a half feet, it gave him plenty of height to see his minions below. As he sniffed around the base, I watched his expression to try to get a feel for whether or not he liked the condo. But as always, his frown never turned upside down, and I was worried he didn’t like it. Suddenly he relieved himself on the floor. Enough said. This is definitely going to be a tweet for @REConfidential.

It was time to move on to the second condo. The Colonel said he needed to stop for a quick break first, and I thought I saw him take a swig off of his flask before he jumped in the car with his human. I have conducted more than 300 home tours, and that was a first for me! I was confident he would like this condo; it was even taller, coming in at five and half feet. The exquisite design included servants’ quarters on the lower level, all-new carpeting, and beams made of solid pine. It even came with two minions to wait on the Colonel’s every beck-and-call. It only took me 15 minutes to get there, but Colonel Meow showed up an hour later. He offered no explanation, and just walked right on in. I held my breath as he inspected each level. When he reached the top, he coughed up a hairball that reeked of booze. Point taken.

After seeing him take a few more swigs, I was worried he’d get lost on his way to the third location, so I crouched down to highlight the route he should take on the map. But then he gave me that look – you know the one– and I backed off.  The third house was more than a cat condo, it was a cat castle. You can check out all the listing details here and below. It was a split-level with four floors and natural elements that added a quiet sense of Zen. There’s no doubt it was better than Boo’s, and it had plenty of space for the Evil Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. Best of all, the spacious master perch was tall enough for Colonel Meow to see all of his minions. When he arrived, Colonel Meow still had a frown on his face, but I thought I caught a little glimmer in his eye. He immediately climbed to the top – and I was preparing for the worst – but when nothing happened, I knew it was the one. I immediately began writing the offer.

The Redfin listing agent informed me she had already received six other offers, three of them all-cash, and two had waived the inspection contingencies. When I told Colonel Meow about the competition, he said “he’d take care of it.” The next day all other offers were mysteriously rescinded.

We closed just three days later, and Colonel Meow walked away with a $1.3 million dollar Redfin refund. His human said it would go to the Humane Society, but my guess is that he’s heading straight to the liquor store to celebrate. When I delivered the keys to him, he batted at them with his paw and walked away.

It was my honor to serve such a celebrity, and I wish him the best of luck with his new cat castle!

Love it or hate it, chances are someone you know is reading the 50 Shades trilogy by E.L. James. The first book in the series has sold more than 25 million copies, and James recently sold the filming rights to Universal Pictures – so this is one phenomenon that won’t be going away any time soon.

The bestselling novels have caused fans to flock to lingerie stores – and to the Pacific Northwest, where the books take place. One destination in particular has seen a lot of traffic: Escala, the luxurious condo tower in Seattle, where main characters Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey really get to know each other.

According to KOMO News, several times a week 50 Shades fans wander into the lobby asking to take a look around. An Escala penthouse like the one described in the book sold for nearly $6 million (it was purchased by Diamond Parking owners Joel and Julie Diamond). Unfortunately for most fans, penthouse tours are only available for those who pre-qualify.

Ok, here’s where the real spoilers come in, so stop reading now if you’ve only read the first book!

In 50 Shades Darker, Christian plans a special surprise for Anastasia… a trip to see a home. Keep your mind out of the gutter.

The two hop in a car and head north on I-5, taking exit 172 (local Seattleites will know that’s the 85^th Street/Aurora exit). Anastasia isn’t sure where they’re going, but she spots a road sign – 9th Ave NW. A few minutes later Christian turns sharply left, and they arrive at a fabulous Mediterranean-style mansion overlooking Puget Sound. Based on the directions, they’re right around the North Beach/Blue Ridge area of Seattle (north of Ballard).

The home is described as being in a densely wooded area, with a large meadow. It has hardwood floors, chandeliers, and a sweeping staircase. Outside is a manicured lawn and terrace, with majestic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.

Anastasia provides a pretty detailed account of the home: “There’s a huge fireplace and a whole line of French doors opening onto the terrace. It has an old-world charm. The house is enormous: twelve thousand square feet on six acres of land. As well as this main living room, there’s the eat-in—no, banquet-in—kitchen with family room attached—Family!—a music room, a library, a study and, much to my amazement, an indoor pool and exercise suite with sauna and steam room attached. Downstairs in the basement there’s a cinema—Jeez—and game room.” She estimates that the home is worth $5 to $10 million dollars.

Alas, there are no homes for sale in the neighborhood that match that exact description – in fact no homes sold in the last three years do. However, if you’re in the market for a new home and want to live it up like Christian Grey, check out these amazing Seattle waterfront homes, which come as close as possible to the home described in the book:

Located just north of Carkeek park, this property is closest in proximity to the home described in the book. And at 4.5 acres and 8,540 sq. ft., it’s also the closest in size. It has several features Anastasia listed, including a manicured lawn and terrace, gated entry, indoor hot tub/spa, eat-in kitchen, game room, library and last but definitely not least, and amazing view of Puget Sound.

According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian is selling her Beverly Hills home for $5 million dollars under a pocket listing, which doesn’t show up on public records. She purchased the property in March 2010 for $3.4 million, so if the rumors are true, she stands to make $1.6 million on the sale. Meanwhile, just down the road, Kanye West is also reportedly selling his L.A. mansion under a pocket listing. Kanye purchased the home in 2003 for $1.75 million. On May 6, 2010, he put it on the market for $3,995,000, but pulled it off the market after only seven days. The two homes have VERY different styles; Kim’s Tuscan-style mansion features fountains, chandeliers, and custom ironwork, while Kanye’s home has a modern, minimalist look.

Could this mean Kimye are planning to move in together? If so, it’ll have to wait until the end of this year, when Kim is finished with Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, which began filming  a couple weeks ago. After a few months of long-distance dating, the two may be ready to move-in together when Kim returns to L.A. If that’s the case, Redfin recommends these fabulous homes in the L.A. area, which span the middle between Kim’s lavish tastes and Kanye’s modern aesthetic.

This home is the most expensive on our list, but we’re pretty sure Kim and Kanye can afford it. After all, according to Forbes, Kim pulled in $18 million from May 2011 to May 2012, and Kanye earned even more – a whopping $35 million. The home is 20,000 square feet, with 8 bedrooms – enough for the entire Kardashian clan. The home may be a little flashy for Kanye’s taste, but he’ll be able to hold auditions for his next music video in the dance studio and store his car collection in the subterranean garage. Kim will love pampering herself in the resort-like spa and exercise room, and entertaining guests at the poolside interior cabana/game room. The gated and private compound overlooks the renowned Bel-Air Country Club, and would make a great spot for an outdoor wedding – just sayin’.

Rachel Bilson’s fiancé, Hayden Christensen (a.k.a Anakin Skywalker), was recently photographed moving his stuff out of Rachel’s home. But it wasn’t a breakup that sent Hayden packing – Rachel recently sold the L.A. home they lived in for big bucks. The couple has been spotted looking for homes in the Brentwood area of southern California. Redfin has a few ideas for homes that Hay-Rach can choose from:

12835 PARKYNS St

List Price: $10,500,000
Beds: 6

Sq. Ft.: 12,732

The master bedroom in this Brentwood beauty includes three walk-in closets to hold Rachel’s expansive wardrobe. Hayden may have to choose a closet down the hall, but as a consolation he’ll receive the perfect man cave; a mahogany-laden library that’s just waiting for cigars and brandy. The furnishings comprise timeless classics mixed with modern designs – perfect for the fabulous fashionista!

1501 UMEO Rd

This romantic villa in nearby Pacific Palisades is at the end of a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by conservancy land, so the couple will have lots of privacy. The property includes beautiful gardens, an arbor, and even a vineyard, so Rachel could create her own Bilson Blend. With sweeping views of the mountains and ocean, Rachel and Hayden can walk out on the patio and gaze at their domain like the O.C. royalty that they are.

*You can check out this mansion for yourself at the open house taking place on Sunday, Sept. 16, from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m.

It may not be the O.C., but this Santa Monica mansion sits on what is known as “the most beautiful street in L.A. County.” It was designed by Peter Choate in the style of a New York loft/stage, which should help Rachel prepare for her role on Hart of Dixie. The white furnishings, terraces and skylights will ensure Hayden never turns to the dark side.
