He has never married and has an estimated net worth of $400 million. |
But actor-director Tyler Perry has reportedly sold his kitted out Hollywood Hills bachelor pad for $11.25 million last October. |
In the pictures of the contemporary property - shot by photographer Ben Bacal - three scantily-clad models lounge by the swimming pool and gaze at the glittering expansive city views. |
Perry's pool also serves as an aquarium filled with bathing beauties, thanks to the posh place's two underground windows looking into the billiards room and sitting lounge. |
The six-foot-five drag star, famed for his recurring role as elderly spitfire Madea, originally paid $9.6 million for the four-bedroom mansion in 2006. |
According to the LA Times, the 43-year-old funnyman had listed the 9,725-square-foot home five times in the past three years starting with an asking price of $13.25 million. |
Located in the trendy, star-friendly 'Bird Streets' neighbourhood, Tyler's place sits on more than a third of an acre. |
Inside the stunning house, there's four fireplaces, a gym, a sauna, and a glass-floor catwalk that serves as the ceiling of the wine cellar. |
There's no need to leave the house at night as the mansion also boasts a screening room and a nightclub/lounge complete with disco ball. |
The renaissance man, who's close friends with Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, and Janet Jackson, also owns two homes in his native Atlanta, Georgia. |
In 2007, Tyler bought a 17-acre estate in the Paces neighbourhood of Buckhead and three years later he purchased a 58-acre estate in John's Creek. |
The single star reportedly broke up with his last girlfriend, Ethiopian model Gelila Bekele, in 2007. |
Tyler also used to date actress Tasha Smith, who appeared in his films Why Did I Get Married? and Why Did I Get Married Too? as well as his sitcom, Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse. |
Perry has two films due out this year - Single Moms Club and Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas, due out December 13. |
Tyler is producing a number of projects for Oprah Winfrey's network OWN, including an hour-long drama called The Haves and Have Nots. |
Early in tonight’s Sugar Bowl, Brent Musburger called Joe Mixon “one of the best” and said he hoped the Oklahoma running back, suspended a year for breaking four bones in a woman’s face, made it to the NFL. That upset a lot of people; Musburger then unwisely responded to the reaction. |
Apparently some people were very upset when I wished this man well at the next level. Let me make something perfectly clear: what he did with that young lady was brutal, uncalled for, he’s apologized—he was tearful, he got a second chance. He got a second chance from Bob Stoops. I happen to pull for people with second ... |

How often do you think how different your life would be if you knew, when you were a teenager, what you know now? |
I often think of myself, leaving home for college months before my 17th birthday, so young and inexperienced, and beginning my career at 20 without the confidence that I have today. |
So when I was asked to write a letter to my younger self as part of a new book called “WOWsdom! The Girl’s Guide to the Positive and the Possible,” I jumped at the opportunity. |
How helpful it would have been to hear this and believe it at the time. |
And that is exactly the thinking behind the book, which aims to inspire today’s young women to feel confident by reading letters from women of all ages written to their teenage selves. |
The book is the brainchild of Donna Orender, a former president of the WNBA and professional basketball player. Orender is the founder of Generation W, an annual women’s conference that draws women from across the country to Jacksonville, Florida, and the founder of Generation WOW, a leadership and mentoring community ... |
“I think that what we wanted was to give the girls the chance to get a step up on us, that they would be able to have insights and learnings and connections that we didn’t have at their age that would enable them to navigate a world that is pretty rough and tumble and tricky but full of positives and possibles,” Orende... |
“We don’t want them to have to say ‘I wish I would have known,’ ” she added. |
The book features prominent women from a variety of careers including Geraldine Laybourne, co-founder of Oxygen Media; volleyball legend, author and fitness activist Gabrielle Reece; Jill Schlesinger, an award-winning business analyst with CBS News; Lisa Shalett, a former partner with Goldman Sachs; and actress Tina Li... |
Lifford, who appears on “Queen Sugar” on OWN and had recurring roles on “Scandal” and “Parenthood,” wrote to herself about how in the course of her life, she would make what feels like mistakes. “Mistakes are never mistakes when we embrace them and learn from them. They then become fodder for a successful long-term out... |
Research shows that girls’ confidence often plummets as they enter their tween and teen years. |
According to a survey of nearly 1,400 8- to 18-year-olds and their parents and guardians commissioned by Claire Shipman and Katty Kay, co-authors of “The Confidence Code for Girls,” confidence dropped by 30% among girls between the ages of 8 and 14. |
Shalett noted in her “Dear Young Lisa” letter how when she was younger, if she had to name her weaknesses, she could probably list them immediately. |
Shalett, who now advises start-ups, said that while she’s made some progress on the self-confidence front, she continues to be amazed at how “incredibly loud and persuasive” her own inner critic still is. |
The book is already being used in Generation WOW leadership and mentoring clubs in select parts of the country, including northeast Florida, and will be coming to clubs in Orlando, Jacksonville and Louisville, Kentucky. |
The book also contains letters from students to their future selves, including a letter from 14-year-old Taylor Richardson, who hopes to become a scientist, engineer and astronaut. Taylor, who was named one of Teen Vogue’s 21 under 21, is also an activist, raising over $110,000 to bring “A Wrinkle in Time” to girls in ... |
Shalett said she believes one of the biggest benefits from “WOWsdom” will be helping young women realize that they are not alone and that they are not the only ones experiencing what they are feeling. The book provides the “perspective, context and intel that young woman don’t often get,” she said. |

Ford CEO Mulally in lead for Microsoft CEO job? |
Unnamed sources tell AllThingsD that, despite his initial claims to the contrary, Ford CEO Alan Mulally has warmed up to the idea of succeeding Steve Ballmer and is now a front-runner candidate. |

Ford CEO Alan Mulally's name has already been bandied about the candidate pool for replacing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who announced his retirement last month. And it seemed the lively executive wasn't too interested in the post -- at least initially -- vowing to remain with his company in the upcoming year. |
But All Things Digital is reporting Mulally may have had a change of heart. Citing unnamed sources "close to the situation," AllThingsD's Kara Swisher said Mulally "has become more amenable to the idea in recent weeks." Mulally, who has been CEO of Ford for seven years and has earned kudos for a restructuring plan that... |
Ballmer said he plans to retire within 12 months, once a replacement is found who will carry out Microsoft's new vision of offering devices and services, not just software. The company's board has formed a special committee to seek out potential candidates. Meeting with Microsoft's shareholders, the committee has been ... |
Soon after Ballmer's announcement, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2 billion, which made its chief executive, Stephen Elop, a top contender for CEO of the software giant. |
Among others rumored to be leading the list of candidates are Microsoft Executive VP Tony Bates, who had previously been CEO of Skype, Computer Sciences CEO Mike Lawrie, former Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky, and former Juniper Networks CEO Kevin Johnson. |

SKY SPORTS pundit and former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood thinks Alexis Sanchez has already decided he will leave Arsenal. |
Tim Sherwood was speaking about Alexis Sanchez on Sky Sports' The Debate show. |
Sanchez and German midfielder Mesut Ozil are both out of contract at the end of the season. |
And the Gunners are residing to losing them for free at the end of the season, unless they can cash in early for a bargain price next month. |
The pair have so far refused to sign an extension at the Emirates Stadium and Sherwood believes Sanchez has already given up playing for the club. |
He thinks the Chilean has nothing left to play for in north London and should be let go next month. |
But Sanchez looks as though he's gone the other way. |
Tim Sherwood speaking about Alexis Sanchez. |
"Arsene Wenger is no fool,” Sherwood told Sy Sports’ The Debate show. |
"He looks after the purse strings at Arsenal. |
"He'll take a view whether it's cynical on the behalf of Ozil. |
"But Sanchez looks as though he's gone the other way. |
Alexis Sanchez is out of contract at the end of the season. |
"He looks like he might be making a decision to chuck the towel in. |
"He's saying 'Why would you want to keep me, you might as well let me go somewhere else because I don't want to be at this football club anymore'." |
However, Sherwood thinks the two players do make Arsenal better - if they can perform anywhere near their best. |
“But Arsenal are better with those two players in their squad,” Sherwood added. |
"But only if they're going to give what they can produce, and that is a world-class performance. |
"Are Arsenal fans seeing the world-class performances at the minute? |
"You'd have to say no." |
Foreclosing lenders frequently discount auction homes just to limit their losses. |

4 Will Banks Sell Foreclosed Homes at the Purchase Price? |
Nationwide, the near-epidemic of foreclosures that have taken place since the late-2007 housing market crash has led to a high number of home auction sales. For example, an April, 2010 Sacramento, California, home auction sale resulted in 153 homes sold at an average price of $90,200. Buying foreclosed homes at auction... |
Homes offered at foreclosure auctions typically come from foreclosing lenders, though tax lien foreclosures are also auctioned. When homes are foreclosed by lenders or local government taxing bodies, their appraised or assessed values are examined to get an idea of their value. Foreclosing lenders generally try to reco... |
Foreclosure auction bids that foreclosing lenders accept are dependent on local market conditions and the available supply of homebuyers or property investors. After all, a foreclosed home might appraise for $200,000 but if no market exists for it at that price it simply won't sell. Foreclosing lenders also don't want ... |
Real estate has three different values: assessed or taxable value, appraised value and market value. For example, a home could be assessed at $200,000, appraised at $190,000 and have a market value of $170,000. When it comes to real estate sales, homes prices usually reflect whatever their particular markets will bear.... |
Always look closely for repair needs any foreclosure homes have before you bid on them. While you might get a steal up front on an auctioned home, spending thousands on repair and rehab could cost you dearly in the end. Also, before bidding on an auction home, have a title company search its title for any liens. Most f... |
