UPDATE: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

After many fits and starts and an uber-extensive search through every $15,000,000+ property in the Platinum Triangle that exhausted and tried the patience of real estate agents and real estate gossips alike, it's looking more and more like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner may finally bite the big real estate bullet.

Last week, after a rather revealing memo from Betty Blathersalot and another even more enlightening chit-chat with well konnected Karl Katoutofthebag, Your Mama floated a rather vague discussion about Bennifer (or whatever they're gossip glossy moniker is) setting their notoriously fickle sights on a $20,000,000+ property that had been languishing on the market for an ice age. Since it now appears more specific information is leaking out about their real estate doings, Your Mama figures we don't need to keep our big trap shut on the details anymore.

According to Your Mama's been spilling sources, the preggers pair have been negotiating to buy super-producer Brian Grazer and wifey Gigi Levangie-Grazer's sprawling estate in The Riviera section of Pacific Palisades, CA which was last listed at a whopping $24,500,000.

The 3+ acre, flag lot property provides a gated and tree-lined paparazzi proof driveway, a sprawling 8,798 square foot single story Cliff May designed main house with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, 4 fireplaces, and what listing information called, "the best projection room in L.A."

In addition to the multi-winged main house, the self-contained compound also includes a separate building with an office, art studio, gym and two bathrooms as well as a guest house, hidden underneath the back yard lawn. Yes children, underneath. The underground space includes two suites for guests or staff, 3 bathrooms, a billiard room, craft room and long views towards the Pacific Ocean. Additional this and thats include a half-court basketball court, a bank of solar panels, an amoeba shaped swimming pool, massive flat lawn areas perfect for gin fueled croquet tournaments, several outdoor terraces for entertaining and, natch, a seriously state of the art security system that Your Mama imagines will zap any foolish intruder with a million volts of electricity before letting them step foot on the property.

Now then, let's all cross our fingers and toes this deal goes through because, quite frankly, we're a little tired about talking about these two.

Gossip Slinger Giuliana Rancic Lists Condo...Again

SELLER: Giuliana Rancic
LOCATION: Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA
PRICE: $749,000
SIZE: 1,371 square feet, 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms
DESCRIPTION: ...This glamorous unit is one floor down from the penthouse level & is located on the quiet side of the building. This condo features amazing panoramic 180 degree views, large balcony that is great for entertaining while enjoying the evening sunsets, bamboo flooring, open granite kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances, large master suite w/ seating area, walk in closet & deluxe baths.

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: While propped up in our sick bed yesterday, the Dr. Cooter hovering about with hot chicken soup, a stack of gossip glossies and a bucket of muscle relaxers, Your Mama received a covert communique from a bean spiller named Kay Suhdia who whispered in our big ear that television talking head Giuliana Rancic once again listed her Wilshire Corrider condo for sale with a new and much lower asking price of $749,000.

See puppies, information Your Mama was able to ferret out from our sources reveals that Mrs. Rancic unsuccessfully attempted to sell her 20th floor aerie at The Grand building back in the spring of 2008 when it was listed with an asking price of $899,000.

Property records show that Mrs. Rancic, a gal who dishes dirt for E! News and who could really benefit from eating a sandwich or two (and who should hire Your damn Mama), scooped up her 1,371 square foot condo back in January of 2003 for $465,000. This was before she met and married a man named Bill Rancic who some of the children will recall took the top honor on the first season of that hairrific Donald Trump's first season of The Apprentice. Mister Rancic has gone on to become a motivational speaker and property developer.

Listing information for Mrs. Rancic's high floor unit indicates it is located on the "quiet" side of the building and includes just 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms, which means, of course, that Mrs. Rancic's dinner guests do not have to enter her boo-dwar in order to use the terlit.

According to Kay Suhdia, Mrs. Rancic hired nice gay decorator Thom Felicia to do up the day-core of her modest digs. All the Bravo babies will remember Mister Felicia was one of those high-maintenance homos on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy that ran around New York City like chickens with their heads cut off saving straight men who did not know how to cook, date, dress or decorate.

Mister Felicia chose to cover the rear wall of the open plan living and dining room area in a paisley patterned wallpaper which we feel competes visually with the striped wallpaper that has been wrapped around the soffit. The sitting area includes a large slate colored sofa opposite a flat screen tee-vee mounted above a long low credenza. Facing the cozy couch are two wing back chairs in striped fabrics and a couple of tufted poofs which all makes for a lovely conversation area. Two Wassily chairs by Marcel Breuer complete the scene. We'd bet our long bodied bitches Linda and Beverly the Wassilys are not vintage and were picked up at Design Within Reach, which is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things, but there's just isn't any patina in the day-core so it would be highly surprising for the chairs to be originals. A wall of glass sliders at the end of the room open to a narrow, planted terrace where a petit table and a couple of chairs and stools look west over the urban carpet of Los Angeles below.

The dining area, which includes a very 1970s wet bar situation we wish Mister Felicia has enclosed behind some kind of cabinetry, has been did up with a shiny black dining room table surrounded by four chairs upholstered in periwinkle fabric and lit by a drum shaped chandelier we are happy to report has been hung at an appropriate height. A large triptych of a giant jellyfish hangs on the back wall and while we rather like the image, it seems a rather unusual choice and one we hope was driven by Mrs. Rancic's own artistic interests than that of Miss Felicia.

Mrs. Rancic's bedroom, which we assume she shares with Chicago-based Mister Rancic when he's in town, has been carpeted in chocolate brown and includes a big bed with hotel-like linens, a large chair and ottoman for reading, and a sliding glass door to the terrace. The master bath with it's beige walls, beige tile and brown and beige marble counter top is lackluster at best and includes a stall shower separate from one of those too small apartment bathtubs that look barely big enough to bath a child let alone an adult.

Although Your Mama knows nuthin' from nuthin' about Mister and Missus Rancic and their baby making plans, we'd put our money on the couple's next real estate purchase being a nice little house somewhere in a good zip code of Los Angeles (or Chicago) where they can raise a couple of children. We wish them all the best.

Your Mama Hears...

...That Puff Daddy (or Just Diddy or Diddle Daddle or whatever dumb name Sean Combs wants to be called today) is angling to buy the same Sunset Strip house he's been leasing the last few months.

Back in the early summer of 2008 Mister crazypants Combs set up his lavish camp in a glassy house in the hills for which a gal named Fancy Nancy swore on her vintage Chanel clutch that he was paying around thirty grand a month. A lot of money by most standards, but just pocket change for a self-made mogul who burns through money like a wildfire through Southern California underbrush. The 4 bedroom house offers Pee Papa (or whatever) 3 main bedrooms, an additional bedroom for the staff/entourage where he could probably put up his umbrella carrier and ass wiper in bunk beds, 5.5 bathrooms, a media room, a lovely view towards Century City, and two swimming pools. That's right children, two damn swimming pools.

The house on St. Ives Drive is currently on the market at $5,995,000 (after having been listed last year at $5,495,000 last year prior to P-Daddy signing a lease.

In addition to his (currently temporary) West Coast crib, Mister Diddy has a handful of properties including a mansion on Miami's Star Island where its been rumored and reported that–much to the chagrin and consternation of many–high drama hip-hoppers Rihanna and Chris Brown have been rekindling their love affair.
