Kevin Spacey's former Baltimore home just got a new discount
Kevin Spacey's former Baltimore condo can't seem to find another gig. The spacious property listed in February months after the actor lost the home to foreclosure. Its initial $6 million price tag — an ambitious ask for Baltimore real estate — failed to attract a buyer, and millions of dollars of price cuts have followed. This week saw the five-story property's third discount since February, this time totaling more than $300,000. Now asking $4.19 million, the abode offers a range of luxury amenities and some of the best views in town. That price also makes this home one of the priciest now for sale in Baltimore. 10 Kevin Spacey, 66, pictured in June. Getty Images 10 The five-story condo sits at the end of a private pier. Derek & Vee The recent price cut comes less than two months after the condo was offered up for rent at $35,000, reported. Spacey is understood to have shelled out $5.65 million for the Baltimore property in early 2017. His hit Netflix drama 'House of Cards,' which filed in the city, ended in 2018 as Spacey was beset by allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple men. Spacey denied the allegations. A United States Jury dismissed a lawsuit against him in 2022 and a UK court found him not guilty of multiple charges in 2023. Spacey was ordered to cough up $31 million in 2021 to the studio behind 'House of Cards' for breaching its sexual harassment policy. 10 Spacey has struggled to regain his foothold in Hollywood over the years. AP 10 The condo spans an impressive 9,000 square feet. Derek & Vee 10 A spiral staircase connects the home's five floors.

Spacey vacated his 9,000-square-foot home after a bitter legal battle in 2024. Beset by legal bills, the actor fell behind on payments and lost the property in a minutes-long foreclosure auction to real estate investor Sam Asgari. A legal battle ensued between the two men, in which Spacey allegedly demanded a $100,000 payment before giving up his Harbor views. The massive home made a splash months later when it listed for $5.99 million. Its listing representative, Compass broker Sam Sheibani, told the Baltimore Banner at the time that he expected the home to attract a local executive, or even Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein. The massive condo sits in a gated community along Baltimore's Inner Harbor area, a popular tourist destination and home to some of Baltimore's most attractive real estate. 10 The nine-seat home theater.

Derek & Vee The five-story home includes six beds and nine baths. Luxury amenities include a chef's kitchen, a nine-seat home theater, a personal sauna, a glass-paneled elevator and a sprawling deck. The condo's panoramic windows and location at the end of a pier give the illusion of living over the water's edge. The listing's massive size and prime location haven't been enough to draw in a new buyer, however. The first big price cut, totaling $1 million, arrived in April, followed by a roughly $500,000 discount six weeks later. Sheibani could not be reached for comment by press time.

Yellowstone star, 54, marries weather presenter fiancée, 34, in Vatican wedding
Yellowstone star Josh Lucas, 54, has tied the knot with his 34-year-old fiancée Brianna Ruffalo in the Vatican. The actor, known for his roles in films including Sweet Home Alabama and Ford v Ferrari, and weather presenter Brianna Ruffalo announced on Friday that they had said their vows at the official residence of the Pope in Rome, Italy. Brianna, who works for ABC7 in Los Angeles, captioned an Instagram carousel from their special day: 'Mr and Mrs Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.' She shared a selection of snaps from their ceremony inside one of the chapels, which showed Josh planting a kiss on her inside the church and photos of them posing outside the famous St Peter's Basilica. 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful,' Josh wrote in the comments section as others rushed to share their congratulations, including Brianna's ABC7 colleagues. He also shared photos on his account as he thanked people for who helped 'make the dream of wedding in the Vatican come true'. 'Congratulations my friend. This is the good stuff,' commented White Lotus star Walton Goggins while Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Alison Janney shared her good wishes and House of Cards' Michael Kelly added: 'Perfect!!! Congratulations yall!!!' Brianna gave a hint at what it entails to get married in the holy location – something only open to Catholic couples – in a follow-up post on Saturday evening, where she shared a gorgeous portrait of her and her husband posing on a balcony outside together in their wedding finery, heads together. 'We are grateful to the many people who helped us get to this moment in the Catholic Church,' she began. 'I am so thankful for Father Winters at the parish I grew up in, and Sister Angelica at the archdiocese of Los Angeles – as well as several others within the archdiocese. 'We also absolutely couldn't have done this without our stellar wedding planning team who coordinated with the Vatican. Thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and easy.' Upon announcing their engagement last July, the American Psycho actor – who has recently delighted fans by portraying the young version of Kevin Costner's character John Dutton on smash-hit cowboy show Yellowstone – shared that he was 'grateful and thrilled' that Brianna had agreed to be his wife after he popped the question during a romantic Italian holiday. The happy couple, who had been together for almost two years, shared their news on Instagram, with a tearful Brianna laughing as she showed off her diamond ring while musicians played Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love. Josh captioned his post: 'For the last 2 years in every way and every day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole. 'I am so grateful and thrilled she said 'Yes'. I WAY love you Brianna. Thank you to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.' Meanwhile, Brianna said that accepting Josh's proposal was the 'easiest and best question' she'd ever answered. She wrote on her own page: 'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life… and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced – on every level. This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered. So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.' Josh was previously married to ex-wife Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, with whom he shares 13-year-old son Noah. The former couple were engaged six weeks after meeting in 2011, marrying in 2012 and then divorcing in 2014. More Trending He previously joked that Brianna is 'fully' on the side of Patrick Dempsey's character Andrew Hennings in his classic 2002 rom-com Sweet Home Alabama. The movie sees Reese Witherspoon's Melanie Smooter leave her fiancé Andrew for Josh's character Jake Perry at the end of the film. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'In [Brianna's] mind, she's like, 'But you're the guy that kind of ruined their relationship!' 'The funny thing is once she said that, all these people have come up to me and been like, 'Yeah, I was Team Patrick too.'' Got a story?

Kevin Spacey calls for release of Epstein files
Actor Kevin Spacey has called for the release of the so-called Epstein files, saying, 'the truth can't come soon enough.' It's been nearly six years since disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on federal charges related to the sexual abuse of dozens of minor girls, and Americans are still asking questions about the registered sex offender. The Trump administration had promised to release files from Epstein's federal investigation after conspiracies swirled over the financier's associates and how he died. But the Justice Department and FBI made waves among Trump's Make America Great Again base when they said earlier this month there was never any client list of high-profile names associated with Epstein and confirmed he died by suicide. Spacey, who's faced allegations of sexual offenses, wrote on X Tuesday morning, 'Release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough. I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.' Actor Kevin Spacey has called for the release of the so-called Epstein files, saying, 'the truth can't come soon enough' (for amfAR) The 'House of Cards' actor was acquitted by a jury in England in July 2023 of nine sexual offenses, including seven counts of sexual assault. The charges stemmed from allegations made by four men regarding incidents between 2001 and 2013. During an interview with English journalist Piers Morgan in June 2024, Spacey recalled flying on Epstein's jet with the late financier, former President Bill Clinton and a group of 'young girls.' Spacey said he had been invited by Clinton on a humanitarian trip to Africa in 2002, telling Morgan, 'It was primarily to raise awareness and prevention for AIDS, and particularly for mothers who had HIV to get the medication they needed to not pass it onto their children, so I said yes, absolutely.' The Trump administration had promised to release files from Jeffrey Epstein's federal investigation after conspiracies swirled over the financier's associates and how he died (New York State Sex Offender Registry via AP) He claimed not to have known who Epstein was or that it was his plane at the time. The actor went on to say he felt uncomfortable about Epstein, despite claiming to initially not know who he was. 'I didn't want to be around this guy because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa, because there were these young girls,' Spacey said. 'We were like, 'Who is this guy?'' Spacey insisted he had 'no relationship' with Epstein, adding, 'He's not my friend. I am not a confidant. I've never spent time with him.' The feds made waves among Trump's base when they said earlier this month there was never any client list of high-profile names associated with Epstein and confirmed he died by suicide () Solve the daily Crossword

Kevin Spacey calls for release of Epstein files
Actor Kevin Spacey is demanding the release of all the files and names associated with late financier Jeffrey Epstein's case. In a Tuesday morning post on X, Spacey called for the release of the files, adding that the 'truth can't come soon enough.' 'Release the Epstein files. All of them,' he wrote. 'For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough. 'I hate to make this about me — but the media already has,' he added. In January 2024, over 150 names associated with Epstein were released as part of a lawsuit against his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, which was filed in 2015. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for assisting Epstein in his alleged sex trafficking operation involving underage girls. Powerful political figures and entertainers, including former President Bill Clinton, President Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz were listed in the files along with Spacey. Spacey, as well as many others listed in the files, have repeatedly denied allegations of working with Epstein and Maxwell. Spacey's call for the files' release comes after the Trump administration's doubling down on findings released last week that concluded Epstein did not keep a client list and that his 2019 death was due to suicide. The 65-year-old Academy Award winner has faced his own slew of controversy in recent years. In 2017, he was fired from the Netflix show 'House of Cards' following accusations that he sexually harassed actors and crew members. Spacey was also charged criminally in 2022 by English prosecutors with sexually assaulting three men in separate incidents in 2005, 2008 and 2013, with additional charges later added. The jury later found Spacey not guilty on the charges. Spacey was also found not liable for battery in a civil lawsuit brought against him by actor Anthony Rapp, who has alleged that Spacey made a sexual advance on him in the 1980s.

Several Hollywood stars have spoken out in support of Spacey returning to the movie business, including Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson and Brian Cox.
