Britney Spears Settles in Celebrity Enclave

Britney Spears is back (again). With her seventh album, Hold It Against Me (see debut video below), due out March 15, the pop star has upgraded her digs to a 20,000-square-foot estate in Hidden Hills, Calif. It was first reported that she had purchased the home, which had listed at $18.9 million, but the Wall Street Journal later concluded it was a $25,000-per-month rental.

The Hidden Hills area is already home to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony; the Kardashians; Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne; and Melissa Etheridge.

Spears's new pad is a Tudor-style mansion with 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, sprawling private gardens, a pool and a tennis court, as well as multiple hot tubs.

The home also includes a game room well-stocked with arcade games and air hockey, which will no doubt be a hit with Spears's sons, Sean Preston, 5, and Jayden James, 4.

The seller of the home is Ron Tutor, a construction/private equity mogul who, as a member of an investor pool that includes Rob Lowe, purchased Miramax Films from the Walt Disney Company for $660 million.

Spears's previous home was located in Beverly Hills, Calif., and was the site of some of the more manic episodes of Spears breakdown lore.
