In Case Your Haven't Heard: Tamar Braxton

Celebrity gossip juggernaut TMZ reported today that sassy-licious reality television diva Tamar Braxton and her record producer husband Vincent sold their Hidden Hills (CA) mansion in mid April (2013) for $6,900,000.

What TMZ does not reveal, and what we first heard a several days ago from the always dishy informant Yolanda Yakketyyak, is that the buyers are the very same people—John and Gloria Gebbia—who sold the approximately 12,000 square foot faux-chateau to Mister and Missus Braxton in September 2011 for $3.4 million.*

Such are the crazy real estate ways of the rich and/or famous, right?

Mister and Missus Gebbia may not be household names but their actress daughter-in-law Carlton Gebbia may soon be as she's much rumored and reported to be joining the next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Anyhoo...

Although we don't have much in the way of specifics, a little birdie told Your Mama that the Braxton clan has moved into a freshly customized mega-mansion in Calabasas (CA) complete with a barber shop, beauty salon, and recording studio.

*There is some evidence that Mister and Missus Braxton paid $6.9 million for the house but there is also plenty of evidence in various property record data bases that they paid just $3.4 million. We really have no idea why the wild discrepancy or how much that actually paid.

This looks like 3.4m not 6.9m -- even in Hidden Hills. Some pertinent information seems to be missing regarding these transactions.

I agree. This small section of Hidden Hills looks to be older and a little more quaint than the nearby Ashley Ridge section where $6.9mil may make more sense. Although, there are a few long time market lingerers over there so maybe this was a good buy?
I mean, whatever. If they got that big of a profit then kudos to them. Just don't tell Toni.

The tasteless have gone to Hidden Hills. Someone tell Denise Richards! She may have better luck this time around, especially after her Paris Hilton-y remodel.

If doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, then buying the same ass-uglee house twice is straying into barking mad, batshit crazy territory...

LOL. I thought the headline was going to read:

Why does half the house look like a saloon?

They moved to the Estates At The Oaks! $10.5 Million. Great buy! I believe Mr.Herbert is allergic to horses so I can understand why they left Hidden Hills. The Oaks suits them better.
