Newly divorced Britney Spears recently unloaded her seven-bedroom house in Malibu for $12 million -- $1.5 million less than the asking price -- after nine months on the market. On July 30, Paris Hilton put her Spanish-style house in Hollywood Hills, built in 1926, for $4.25 million. She paid close to $3 million for the house in November 2004. Will she get her asking price?
