Were baaaaack...I know it's been a while since we've had a Hot Properties blog but we've been working extra hard in 2008 to bring everyone a bunch of new features. While I'm not going to release what those are today rest assured you will be razzled and dazzled when they launch. Jumping headfirst back into that thing we all can't get enough of, celebrity real estate news, we've got some big names, Dan Aykroyd (again), Jessica Alba, Wilmer Valderrama, and the all-powerful Rupert Murdoch.
Dan Aykroyd
We last saw Mr. Aykroyd back at the beginning of the year (Hot Properties 1-2-08) when he placed his home at 7780 Woodrow Wilson Drive on the market (the home has since sold). Aykroyd is now looking to sell off the last of his Los Angeles homes. Co-owning the home with his brother since 1988, the home features 4,176 sq. ft. with a grand staircase, large well light rooms and terraces on all upstairs bedrooms. Sitting on just 0.4 acres the home is accompanied by a two-story guesthouse.

Jessica Alba
Hollywood movie star Jessica Alba recently purchased a new home in Beverly Hills. She's upgrading from a 2,286 sq. ft. home to her new place which features 4,686 sq. ft., and plenty of room for her baby due this year. As for the new home, it features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a giant 14 person formal dining room, and a master suite complete with dual closets, fireplace, and steam shower.

Rupert Murdoch
Media man Rupert Murdoch has been trying to sell off his approximately 8,000 sq. ft. mansion for almost eight months now (I guess all that advertising on Fox News hasn't gotten him anywhere...). Eager to get rid of the property Murdoch has recently decided to drop the selling price by $2 million. Although that price drop still doesn't help get me any closer to buying the property, only time will tell if it sparks any interest from the multi-million dollar real estate community.

Wilmer Valderrama
Known to most as Fez (from That 70's Show), Wilmer Valderrama has sold off one of his properties that had been on the market since the summer of '07. Valderrama's home featured 4,822 sq. ft. with five bedrooms and bathrooms, private tennis court, pool, pool house, and a gym. It is also noted that Wilmer never considered this one of his primary residences, and it is rumored that he mainly lives at his 1880 Wells Drive home (Wilmer owns upwards of seven properties at any given time).
