Celebrities keep swapping real estate
June 24, 2009 11:00AM
In the last few weeks, comedian Joan Rivers put her East Side townhouse up for sale with an asking price of $25 million, 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin reportedly toured the Apthorp on the Upper West Side and "Pretty Woman" actress Julia Roberts inked a deal to rent at One Morton Square while in town filming "Eat, Pray, Love." And, they are only a few of the boldfaced names who have bought, sold and rented apartments recently. Indeed, yesterday there were new reports that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise may have purchased a townhouse on West 12th Street. The Real Deal's Jen Benepe looks at what's going on with celebrity apartment trades as the rest of the market is stuck in the mud. To watch the Webcast click on the video.

TRD...please do not turn this site in to another celeb adoring tabloid...we already have The Post, and do not need to know more about these self-important morons. What does this have to do with the average Real Estate professional? For the few brokers that benefit, they already know this news...the rest of us DO NOT CARE!!!!!

TRD - TMZ same thing. They should do a pod cast on presenting the latest stories so that we can hear the quips. It would be nuts. Just remember to give me credit for the idea, Thanks, Anonymous

Britney Spears - is she on there too ? how much money does elliman pay the real deal to plug the apthorp - aren't they headed for a second forclosure if they don't sell 25 units by September ?-Can the Apthorp give a place to Lindsay Lohan for publicity or Jessica Simpson ? Tom Cruise- The Brodericks- The Baldwins- the Julia Roberts - I have all their movies - I am their biggest fans !
