Kanye West's former Malibu home back on sale as deal turns ugly
The concrete structure was designed by the famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando for a Wall Street financier before West paid $57.3 million for it in 2021. The controversial rapper and fashion designer gutted the four-bedroom beachfront property before selling it last year for $21 million to the investor Bo Belmont.
It seemed that the house had a buyer, with the developer Andrew Mazzella in contract to pay $30 million for a rare Ando work outside Japan.
However, the agreement has collapsed as the owner and would-be buyer engage in a feud, with Belmont calling Mazzella a 'cowboy'. The house has been relisted for $34.9 million.

Australian star shocks as she wears bizarre G-string skirt while walking the red carpet for a movie launch in the US
An Australian actress shocked onlookers in California on Wednesday when she stepped out in a strange G-string skirt during a special screening of Eenie Meanie. Samara Weaving modelled the bizarre sparkling silver frock as she walked the 'black' carpet at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. The 'lingerie mini skirt', which retails for $2,352 at Wiederhoeft, features a black underwear detailing with a garter-belt design to match. Two black bows fixed to the hem complete the odd look. The former Home and Away star, 33, paired the piece with a busty black corset top by the same designer, which goes for $6,297. Samara, who highlighted her genetically blessed features with a minimal makeup look, paired the outfit with black stockings and matching pumps. She added several designer rings to her look, including a Cartier diamond and onyx band which can be sold for up to $40,000 at luxury second-hand stores. Samara plays the starring role in Eenie Meanie, portraying a skilled getaway driver who just can't seem to get away from her reckless ex-boyfriend. Eenie Meanie is a high-speed thriller written and directed by Shawn Simmons in his feature directorial debut. Samara will be joined by Karl Glusman, Jermaine Fowler, Marshawn Lynch, Randall Park, Steve Zahn, and Andy Garcia. The Adelaide-born star has made a name for herself as a 'scream queen' after starring in films such as Ready or Not, Scream VI, The Babysitter, and Azrael. Earlier this year, she was busy promoting her recent film Borderline in a number of interviews and social media posts. The dark comedy thriller tells the story of a popstar whose home is broken into by an obsessive fan who believes they are betrothed. One of the producers of the film is none other than Hollywood heavyweight Margot Robbie, who also starred with Samara in the Damien Chazelle-directed Babylon. The 'lingerie mini skirt', which retails for $2,352 at Wiederhoeft, features a black underwear detailing with a garter-belt design to match Frequently mistaken for fellow Aussie Margot, 35, Samara revealed last year the two women are actually great friends and like to catch up in Los Angeles. Margot's husband Tom Ackerley and Samara's husband Jimmy Warden are great mates too. 'We met five or six years ago. She's great; our husbands are like best friends,' the actress told Stellar Magazine. 'I have a really good group of girlfriends in LA—a lot of Aussies—and we really try to make time for each other and hang out, go for dinners, and leave the husbands at home. 'It's so important to have that in LA because it can get really overwhelming.'

Lana Del Rey reveals wedding memento ahead of first anniversary with alligator tour guide husband
Lana Del Rey revealed a rare wedding memento ahead of her first anniversary with alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on September 26. The 40-year-old Abyss singer shared a snap of an ornate rose pin as well as a white lace doily that was red-stitched with their first initials 'L & J' for their big day. Lana (born Elizabeth Grant) posted a glimpse at her wedding ring as well as her substantial thigh gap, which many believe came courtesy of a trendy GLP-1 weight-loss drug. Del Rey - who boasts 65.9M social media followers - also shared a blurry snap of the 50-year-old father-of-three's airboat that he regularly captains in Louisiana. The 11-time Grammy nominee and Jeremy reportedly obtained their marriage license on September 23, but it's unclear if they ever signed a prenuptial agreement to protect her reported $60M fortune. 'I'm grateful for him for [my producer Jack Antonoff's] example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret [Qualley]. I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he's a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband,' Lana gushed at a Variety event on December 7. 'I really feel like there's kind of a singer's curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race. And it's super nerve-racking to have to hold onto an innocent perception of how things could go when you're in an industry where maybe your values or your morals don't quite match up with what's going on. Especially when people think that you probably don't have any morals or values.' Del Rey has known Dufrene as far back as 2019 when he let her 'captain' his airboat during a cruise with Arthur's Airboat Tours, which hosted the couple's nuptials on the bayou of Des Allemandes. Speaking of Jack, the Manhattan-born belter has teased three tracks - 57.5, Bluebird, and Henry, Come On - off her upcoming 10th studio album and first country record, which is rumored to be called Lasso. Last Thursday, Lana shared a snippet of 'Track 13' which her fans are already nicknaming 'All About Ethel' as it appears to be a diss track aimed at Ethel Cain. 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Thinks it's cute reenactin' my Chicago pose / Hard to roll in slow motion / Hard to say no to cau-caution / Hard to stop when it's like an ocean / Not afraid to say I'm goin' down in flames,' Del Rey sang. 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don't regret it / The most famous girl at the Waffle House.' That same day, the self-described 'anti-feminist' accused the 27-year-old trans woman of fat-shaming her by posting 'graphic side-by-side images' and 'making constant comments about my weight.' 'I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago,' Lana explained in a since-deleted comment on Pop Base's Instagram. 'I was confused at what she was getting at. Then when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed.' Last Thursday, Lana shared a snippet of 'Track 13' which her fans are already nicknaming 'All About Ethel' as it appears to be a diss track aimed at Ethel Cain That same day, the self-described 'anti-feminist' accused the 27-year-old trans woman of fat-shaming her by posting 'graphic side-by-side images' and 'making constant comments about my weight' On Thursday, Ethel Instastoried an update: 'Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram.' Del Rey's lyric referencing her 'Chicago pose' was aimed at Cain (born Hayden Silas Anhedönia) for copying her while posing next to her ex-boyfriend, Salem member Jack Donoghue, at a dam in 2021. The Golden Globe-nominated songwriter's lyric about Waffle House was referring to a 2022 New York Times profile on the autistic, homeschooled Zoomer which they headlined 'The Most Famous Girl at the Waffle House.' Ethel isn't having the best summer considering she just penned a 2K-word apology for resurfaced tweets where she wrote the N-word and referred to 'building the wall' and 'legalizing incest' and drawing child pornography. 'To try and sum everything up, no I am not a violent misogynist fetishizing the "female experience,"' Cain wrote via Google doc on July 9. 'No I am not the creator of child pornography, nor am I a pedophile, a zoophile, or a porn-addicted incest fetishist. I urge you to recognize the patterns of a transphobic/otherwise targeted smear campaign, especially in this political day and age.' The 5ft8in IMG Model will next bring her 63-date Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour to the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in LA this Wednesday and Thursday.

Ailing radio star declares bankruptcy after daughter lied that fling with Bachelor star had gotten her pregnant
A longtime Bay Area radio legend and his wife have declared bankruptcy as their daughter faces charges for allegedly lying that a former Bachelor star had gotten her pregnant with twins. Ronn Owens, 79, a longtime anchor at KGO, and his wife, Jan Black, submitted a chapter 13 filing to a federal court in Arizona last week, stipulating that they have $2.3 million in liabilities and owe over $511,000 to more than 40 banks, credit card companies and other creditors, The Mercury News reports. It comes eight months after Owens promoted an online fundraiser to raise money for his family, saying they were dealing with 'overwhelming' financial difficulties' amid his 'profound' health challenges. Black, a former reporter for KCBS, said the filing 'stands as objective evidence of the reality of our financial challenges and the necessity of the GoFundMe fundraiser,' which she said remains 'active and crucial as we work to restructure our finances and move forward.' As of Tuesday evening, it had raised more than $131,600 for the Owens family - with some even making monthly contributions. But the bankruptcy filing shows that a significant portion of Owens and Black's debt, more than $400,000, was incurred in the first half of this year - after the GoFundMe was launched. It describes how they owe $300,000 in credit card debt to creditors like American Express and seven separate Bank of America accounts, and notes that Ronn is being sued by JP Morgan Chase for failing to pay $51,000. The couple, who were once considered Bay Area media royalty, have also claimed they have $6,640 in monthly payments - not including their $14,188 monthly mortgage, which they apparently stopped paying. Yet their pensions and Social Security income, which totals $21,000 a month, more than covers their $150-a-month medical and dental care as well as their $225 supplemental health insurance. Owens and Black are also only paying $1,500 for life insurance and $425 for insurance on their daughter's horses. The couple should have also had some money from selling their longtime San Francisco home for $3.5 million in 2020, as the home they had purchased in Scottsdale, Arizona is now valued at $1.5 million. But the anonymous friends and family members who created the GoFundMe last year insinuated that the funds could help pay for health-related expenses. Owens has Parkinson's disease and survived four bouts of cancer. He also suffers from 'some serious heart issues,' according to The Mercury News. The fundraiser noted that Owens' medical struggles have since 'taken a toll, both physically and financially,' and the couple previously said that their supplemental health insurance does not cover all the 'residual' health care expenses following Owens' multiple health crisis, which also include COVID and pneumonia. They told The Mercury News earlier this year that Owens has spent up to six months in hospitals over the past few years, and when he returned home he needed an in-home caregiver. It now remains unclear how the couple may have used the money they received from the GoFundMe, as Black said that the pending bankruptcy litigation limits what they can share publicly. Still, she said the money 'has been a lifeline during a period that often felt hopeless. 'We truly do not know how we would have navigated these months without their support.' She also denied rumors that some of the money is being used to help fund their daughter Laura's legal expenses, which experts have said could run into six figures. Prosecutors have said the 34-year-old doctored a sonogram and pregnancy video, and even lied under oath, as she tried to get former Bachelor star Clayton Echard to take a paternity test. According to court documents, Laura testified in November 2023 that she was 24 weeks pregnant with twins and Echard was the father. But she dropped her paternity suit at the end of that year, saying she had miscarried at some point without knowing it. An online fundraiser had raised more than $131,600 for the Owens family - with some even making monthly contributions Court records in both Arizona and San Francisco show that Laura has previously made similar allegations against three other men since 2014, claiming each time she either had abortions or miscarriages. Echard's attorney, Gregg Woodnick, has since called Laura a 'serial fraud' in a court declaration. Still, the Owens family has stood by Laura's claim that she was pregnant with Echard's children - and insisted that she was pregnant each of the times she claimed she was. In a statement after she was indicted on seven felony counts of perjury, fraud, forgery and evidence tampering, Laura argued that the charges 'appear to be the product of intense public pressure, not impartial judgment. 'They reflect a system that responded to online outrage, ignored procedural protections, and moved forward based on narrative rather than fact,' she claimed. 'It is difficult not to see them as part of a broader effort to discredit me, discourage me, and make an example out of me,' it continued. 'I intend to meet these accusations head-on - and I will defend myself, fully and relentlessly, through every step of this process.' Reflecting on the allegations against her daughter amid the bankruptcy, Black blasted the Justice for Clayton community, saying its campaign against her and her husband 'has been relentless and deeply damaging.' She went on to say she and her husband have been forced to supplement their pensions and Social Security income with side ventures, but they have been 'significantly impacted by ongoing harassment and reputational attacks.' Having to file for bankruptcy has also been 'deeply intrusive and emotionally exhausting.' When Owens first promoted the online fundraiser in 2024, he also said it was difficult to 'admit that the financial strain has become overwhelming on top of everything else. 'For 48 years, I poured my heart into KGO, sharing stories, sparking conversations and connecting with you all,' he wrote. He added that he never imagined he would be in a position in which he would need to ask for help, 'but here I am asking for a little help from the community that has meant so much to me.'
