Celebrity real estate roundup: Christina Aguilera, Mickey Rooney

LeAnn Rimes and hubby Eddie Cibrian outed by his ex-wife and co-star on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Patience Paid for Christina Aguilera Two years after listing her Beverly Hills home for $13.5 million, the pop songstress and star of The Voice looks like she may have found a buyer. Was it the hot-pink walls in one room or the emerald green ceilings in another that kept prospects low for the 513 Doheny Road home in the exclusive ZIP code of 90210? Was it the fact that Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, used to call this place home? Doesnt seem to matter now for Aguilera. The 6-bedroom, 10-bathroom, 10,000-square-foot home is not going to be on her team much longer, now that a sale is pending. And no, the buyer isnt Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine or Blake Shelton.

Never managed to turn a meat suit into a political statement or turned cotton-candy-colored summery pop into a brand. Yet P!nk, 33, has managed to forge an impressive career in her own quiet way.

TORONTO - Adam Levine said he'll miss fellow judges Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green on "The Voice," but the show's two new superstar additions are helping to fill the void and those famed swivelling chairs.
