Looks like Katy Perry is in hot water again over real estate — several years after she sparred with two nuns over an 8-acre Los Feliz, California spread.

Located at 1569 E. Valley Rd., the Daily Mail revealed that 83-year-old Carl Westcott had moved into the home just two months before Perry, 38, and Bloom, 46, bought the 8.9 acre estate.

Now you can really live the Goop life.

A historic country compound with certain royal ties has hit the market. Located in the wooded English village of Biddenden, a former iron industry town, this quaint mansion boasts both opulence and rustic charm — and quite the story. The 67-plus-acre property dates to 1419 and was once the royal residence of Prajadhipok, or Rama VII, the last absolute king of Siam (now Thailand). Will Peppitt of Savills holds the listing, known as Vane Court, which is seeking just over $7 million. Rama VII reigned from 1925 to 1935, a turbulent, revolutionary time for the nation, and died in England, in exile, in 1941 at the age of 47. The late former king and his queen, Rambai Barni, took up...

The words ‘stylish’ and ‘bat cave’ don’t normally fall in the same sentence. However, a property in Mallorca proves that houses can resemble the habitats of nocturnal mammals and still look pretty spectacular. The five-bed house up for sale, in the Felanitx region, is built into the side of a mountain – which means every room has a spectacular cave backdrop.
