SELLER: Dan Aykroyd and Donna Dixon
LOCATION: Woodrow Wilson Drive, Los Angeles, CA
PRICE: $4,200,000
SIZE: 4,828 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms
DESCRIPTION: Legendary Hollywood Hills estate. Once home of Ringo Starr, Mama Cass & many others, this New England style home is over 1 acre of lush, isolated, amazing grounds, set back on a hidden lane off Woodrow Wilson. Gated, private, lge motor court. Wonderful well-sized public rooms w/ French doors. Extensive master w/ attached office & weight room/gym. Gorgeous country style kitchen, 6 FPs. Indoor/outdoor feel, large heated swimming pool.

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Well, well, well, it looks like former Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd will soon be packing up his massive and famous library on all things paranormal. Back in mid-September Your Mama told the children about Dan Aykroyd and Donna Dixon's Hollywood Hills house when it was available to lease at $35,000 per month, dizzying floral kitchen wallpaper included. Now, the "New England style" house has hit the market for sale with an asking price of $4,200,000.

Ya'll might recall that the house has quite a celebrity history having once been owned by both Ringo Starr and Cass Eliot, better known as Mama Cass. According to Mister Aykroyd, the house is also home to ghosts, perhaps even with the spirit of big Mama Cass herself.

Your Mama does not have a clue where Mister Aykroyd and his famous family are moving children, so don't even ask. Our research uncovered that they own several other houses including a place in New York, reportedly a place in Canada, and another big house in Hollywood that he co-owns with Peter Aykroyd, his psychic researcher brother.

So worry not puppies, the Aykroyds have plenty of options.

P.S.

Our pal Mister Big Time was also trying to suss out what rich and or famous person purchased a house in Studio City on Ashdale Lane...That would be the soon to be ex-wifey of Tony Danza. According to our Fairy Godmother in Studio City, soon to be ex-Mrs. Danza paid $2,600,000 for the 4,978 square foot house in the Fryman Estates neighborhood.

We got to git because Your Mama has some of our kin folk in town. Bye now.

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: This morning Your Mama answers the call from Mister Big Time about which celebrity purchased this house on N. Berendo Street in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Your Mama got on the horn and burned up the phone wires with our coterie of contacts and we've determined that the buyer is another of the Grey's Anatomy crew, this time statuesque blond Katherine Heigl.

Miz Heigl purchased the house very recently when she paid $2,550,000 in September 2007 for this 3,690 square foot house with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathroom. Built in 1922, the Southern Colonial style house will provide Miz Heigl a decently sized traditional layout and easy access to her gay boyfriend T.R. Knight, who also recently purchased a Los Feliz hideout.

Obviously the photos above do not reflect the furniture and taste of Miz Heigl (or do they?), and we haven't any idea what her team of gay decorators is going to do with the place. But Ywe sincerely hope Miz Heigl will consider removing that horrible pot rack in the kitchen or Your Mama will worry ourself into an ulcer that the tall beauty will bruise her head on those pots and pans. Or worse yet, knock herself out with pasta boiling over on the stove an no beau-hunk in the house to rush her the smelling salts.

Your Mama loves the little second floor terrace for those early morning tanning sessions, and we even like that itty bitty plunge pool. Because let's face it, Your Mama is never going to swim laps in any pool, so anything bigger than this is just wasted water.

We hear that Miz Heigl has not moved in yet, so don't any of you fools think you can head on over to Los Feliz and catch Miz Heigl mowing the lawn in a bikini and a pair of Jimmy Choos. Besides, we can all be assured that now that Miz Heigl is a big television star, she does not mow her own lawn. Happy house to Miz Heigl. And hunny please, be sure to take that nasty pot rack down and spare Your Mama the worry.
