Homes of the Cel... Forbes just released its annual list of the Celebrity 100, a ranking of the most powerful stars including film and television actors, TV personalities, models, athletes, authors, musicians and comedians, based on both fame and annual pre-tax earnings (from May 2011 to May 2012). Here's a round-up of where these moneyed stars spend their nights catching beauty sleep and dodging paparazzi. Realtor.com, Trulia.com and others helped Forbes unearth properties bought and sold in the past year as well as a few long-term abodes A-listers have clung to. There are even a few rentals, like this Calabasas estate called Chateau Suenos where pop star Britney Spears rented until last year following her infamous "meltdown."

Ellen DeGeneres Despite 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.
