Hugh Hefner Sells Private Residence

August 10, 2009 at 6:08am PST

One lucky young businessman is moving in next door to the Playboy mansion.

Hugh has sold his personal residence, just a bunny hop away from the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, to 25-year old Daren Metropoulos.

Metropoulos paid $18 million for the home and will be moving in from nearby Beverly Hills.

The two-story, 7,300-square-foot home, built in 1929, has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and sits behind gates on a flat site that backs up to the Los Angeles Country Club.

There is a formal living room, a dining room, a library, his-and-her powder rooms and a media room with a film projector and screen that drops from the ceiling.

Interior treatments include maple panels, leaded-glass windows and a hand-carved staircase. The master suite overlooks the gardens and grounds, which include a swimming pool.

Metropoulos, helps his father reinvigorate such US household brands as Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee tuna.

Hef's house had been on the market since early March, listed at nearly $28 million, but Metropoulos purchased it for $10 million less.

Wow, times are tough. But Heff's loss is the 25-year-old millionaire's gain, as he now gets to be neighborly with the Playboy bunnies. ...

Former Playmate of the Year Fears for Her Life

2002 Playmate of the Year Dalene Kurtis thought taking a vacation to Hawaii with her boyfriend Daren Metropoulos was a great idea......that is, until he allegedly used her as a punching bag and then threatened to kill her.

Kurtis was granted a temporary restraining order earlier this month against an ex she claims pushed her , punched her and choked her during a recent trip to Hawaii. She claims the ex "Daren Metropoulos" said he was "gonna kill (her)," slit (her) throat" and that she was a "f**king whore."

She then claims four days later he choked her until she couldn't breathe, stomped on her stomach, punched her broke her finger, and spit in her face. That's when she (finally) called the cops and had him arrested.

Kurtis was granted a TRO which includes her two-year-old son. She's scheduled to be in court on the 24th of Sept. 2009 to make the order made permanent.

If you want to see the full report that is 18 pages long it is public records and you can see the breakdown of DV-110 Temporary Restraining Order and Notice of Hearing which was filed on Aug 10, 2009 with the Los Angeles Superior Court. Also, the DV-100 Request for Order filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Aug. 10, 2009. Also, the application for emergency protective order which was granted. DV-101 Description of Abuse and the Beverly Hills Police Department Crime Report for Aug. 10, 2009. And the Beverly Hills Police Department Suspect Information all filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
