    If residents of the Hollywood Hills feel things are getting a little serious in the neighborhood, they’ll be happy to know some comic relief just moved in.

    Anna Farris and Chris Pratt. (Lester Cohen/WireImage) Married actors Anna Faris and Chris Pratt (you’ll recognize her as the ditzy blonde in movies like “Scary Movie” and “Take Me Home Tonight” and him as star of NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation”) just dropped $3.3 million on a new pad, according to real estate website Zillow.

    And they must have really wanted the place. The home was initially listed for $2.975 million back in January, which means the couple paid $325,000 over the asking price.

    According to the listing, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Mediterranean-style home totals 4,700 square feet and sits on more than a half acre of land in the picturesque Nichols Canyon, near Sunset Boulevard.

    When Faris, 36, and her hubby, 33-year-old Pratt, aren’t cracking each other up, they’ll probably be getting their exercise. The gated property includes an outdoor gym perched above a regulation tennis court.

  • Kanye West’s Lamborghini Takes a Beating

    Kanye West is having a tough week. Actually, more like a blunder-filled one.

    The 35-year-old made headlines last Friday when he slammed his head into a street sign with baby mama Kim Kardashian (and then got really mad at the paparazzi for causing the clunk), documented in the video now seen 'round the world.

    So far, so good ... (Splash News)

    Whoops! (Splash News)

    Then on Tuesday, the father-to-be's Lamborghini Aventador (worth a reported $750,000) was hit by a closing gate outside his baby mama Kim Kardashian's house in Beverly Hills. But this time West (who owns a whole collection of fancy cars) really can blame someone else: The guy who was behind the wheel of the car – reportedly returning it from a service appointment – took a few seconds too long to drive it through the electric gate after it opened, and it ended up shutting right on the pricey set of wheels. Yikes!
