Celebrity Real Estate Update: Slumdogs, Heated Floors, & Nicole Kidman

While us unworthy regular people do such silly things as scrape together cash for our monthly rents (or trick their friends into doing so) and otherwise teeter towards homelessness, even the most unfortunate celebrities don't have to consider such a cruel fate. This isn't to say that when the housing market went tits-up, the sun continued shining over celebrity enclaves. Because, as we learn after the break -- for every posh manse, there's a senseless eviction. And of course, heated floors.

Crooked former Illinois governor-turned-reality TV desperado Rob Blagojevich and his wife are selling off their capitol condo in Washington DC. Hey! It’s pretty cheap too! $570,000 for the 2 bedroom-2 bathroom unit. [Chicago Tribune]

Around Memorial Day, while you were out getting sunburned and drunk on wine coolers, Kirsten Dunst put her three-bedroom Hollywood Hills palace on the market for $1.7 million. She’d been living there for the last 5+ years. Bonus amenities: Heated floors, for those days you want to practice walking across hot coals. [The Real Estalker]

Also on that national holiday, Nicole Kidman finally unloaded her Sydney-based manse to a Monaco-based former stockbroker. Bidding started at AUS$20 million, but closed at US$10 million. Do your currency conversions here. [news.com.au]

One place that wouldn’t sell, housing crash or no: Michael Vick’s. Especially not while he’s stuck inside it on house arrest. [Examiner]

If you laugh at the poors (and how could you not! Us, with our wacky uses of flannel!) and like to collect houses where we opt to amass bottle caps, then consider owning the glass-walled tree house featured in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. For $2.3 million, it’s a steal. Or maybe it’s highway robbery, because it’s located in suburban Chicago. Which in layman’s terms means “middle of nowhere.” But, take a look for yourself. [Newsday]

The tragic post-Oscar plight of Slumdog Millionaire‘s cast has been unfortunate. And after one such star suddenly found himself and family without home, Danny Boyle, patron saint to Mumbaikers apparently, bought a nice old place for them to play house in. That is, until Indian authorities bungle things up again—at which point, it’ll be Danny Boyle to the rescue! [USA Today]
