Thursday This and Thats: Dr. H.

As we first learned from the long-legged blond gal at Trulia Luxe Living, Robert Huizenga, M.D., the media savvy obesity specialist best known by reality t.v. watchers as Dr. H. from the weight loss extravaganza The Biggest Loser, dropped $5.5 million on a 10.2 acre mountain top compound (above) with five super-contemporary structures in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu.

Dr. H. also owns a substantial Mediterranean mansion in L.A.'s celeb-packed Los Feliz area—it's been on and off the market since August 2011 when it popped up for sale at $5.9 million—and in late June he sold a much more modern, city view spread (above) that listing details describe it as a "European contemporary" in the Bird Streets 'hood above the Sunset for $2,925,000.

Property records show Dr. H. and his estranged wife, Wanda, who filed for divorce last year after 30-some years of marriage, also own a lake front estate (above) with a Normandy-style lodge in Lake Arrowhead, CA, that's been on and off the market since May 2010 when it was listed for $2,442,500.
