So the celebrity real estate scuttlebutt goes, not-quite-divorced K.K. and her notoriously magniloquent baby daddy Kanye West are set to drop a wad on an even bigger, 9,000-ish square foot mock-Med macmansion with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms in the guard gated Beverly Crest 'hood. As of this morning the property in question is currently in escrow, according to online listings, and was last priced at $10,750,000.

Mister and Missus Osbourne paid $12,388,500 for the 2.25 acre estate and its 10,930 square foot contemporary farmhouse-style mansion that they subsequently hired hilariously affected Million Dollar Decorator Martyn Lawrence Bullard to work over in his signature high-glam style. The house was photographed for the June 2011 issue of Architectural Digest but the rock-n-roll royals soon caught a case The Celebrity Real Estate Fickle and flipped the estate back on the market in June 2011 with it's first and only asking price of $12,999,000.
Mister and Missus Osbourne long ago moved back over the hill, first to a leased pied-a-terre at Sierra Towers building in West Hollywood and then to a stunning Spanish style rental in the flats of Beverly Hills that's owned by one of the Platinum Triangle's most successful and well known real estate agents.

X-tina doesn't appear to have changed much on the outside but the 10,000-plus square feet of interior space was transformed by the L.A.-based decorating duo (Ron) Woodson & (Jaime) Rummerfield into a kaleidoscopic cornucopia of rich and vibrant colors, mixy-matchy patterns, lush textures and madcap celebrity-style accoutrement that include a boutique-like dressing room with leopard print wall-to-wall carpeting and a private beauty salon.
In March 2011, a bit more than six months after X-Tina and Mister Bratman publicly called off their marriage, the property popped up on the open market with a $13,500,000 price tag. Well, don'tcha know, children, it's only taken two years—or just shy of two years, anyways—to unload her residential white elephant but yesterday the status changed from "active" to "pending" on all the online real estate listings.
