Ellen DeGeneresDespite the fact that DeGeneres and her wife Portia De Rossi had yet to sell their $49 million Beverly Hills home (now in contract to Ryan Seacrest), the couple bought a 4,100-square foot waterfront home in January that Brad Pitt remodeled following his split from Jen Aniston and then listed for sale. The gated estate has four bedrooms, a lap pool, a tennis court and access to a private beach cove. Now the couple is reportedly in contract on a Beverly Hills Hal-Levitt-designed abode down the street from their soon-to-be-sold compound. That 8,500-square foot property has walls of glass, four bedrooms, six bathrooms and a family room that opens onto a pool area.

Justin BieberThe Biebs has been on the prowl for a Los Angeles-area home for the past several months, reportedly settling on this six bed, seven bath hacienda-style home tucked away in a celebrity-centric development. Rumors have swirled that he chose this after a rumored attempt to buy the home Ashton Kutcher had been renting was thwarted by Kutcher's decision to buy it.
Jennifer AnistonThe A-list actress has kept herself busy with real estate the past several years. After selling her custom Beverly Hills "Ohana" estate for nearly $38 million last year, she picked up two neighboring condos in a West Village pre-war building in Manhattan, paying roughly $7 million. She recently offloaded them for a loss of half a million dollars, choosing to move back to the west coast. The newest conquest is this 8,500-square foot mid-century Modern house that sits behind high gates on three acres that include vineyards.
