Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez may be considered one of the game’s greatest players, but when it came to selling his Miami mega-mansion, he was striking out ... until now.

After buying the waterfront lot in 2010 for $7.4 million and having the 10-bedroom home custom built, A-Rod put the place on the market in August just a year after taking possession of it. Asking price? A cool $38 million.

Then, in January, the New York Yankees third baseman took the stunning contemporary pad off the market. Guess no one wanted to shell out the hefty purchase price?

Now, however, A-Rod's scored a home run and sold the place for $30 million. Sure, it's $8 million under his one-time asking price, but according to various reports, the athlete spent somewhere between $7.6 million and $18 million to build the home, which means he still netted him some sort of profit even after selling at the "discounted" price.

And the new owner has plenty of luxury to look forward to.

Hey, unborn child of Maya Rudolph and director Paul Thomas Anderson: We hope you handle uncomfortable situations well because your mom sure gets down with awkward family photos!

Or at least the "SNL" vet has for June's comedy issue of GQ magazine, wherein she and Danny McBride sit for silly portraits inspired by the hilarious site that shares bizarre family snapshots.

Rudolph is currently expecting her fourth child with Anderson, but before her baby bump began to show, she and McBride brought the funny with a variety of looks — including mid-Western gothic, a Floridian panhandle safari, and the cardigan chic of a Pennsylvania Sears — for the photo spread.

Update: Morgan Freeman issued this pretty awesome statement: "I wasn't actually sleeping. I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page."

Being an Academy Award winner can be exhausting!

While promoting "Now You See Me" alongside Michael Caine on the Seattle program "Q13 Fox News This Morning," it appears as if Morgan Freeman nodded off while Caine, 80, was talking about magic tricks.

She's got tattoos on her face, was once engaged to motorcycle man Jesse James after his infamous cheating scandal, and is planning an underwater wedding to her current fiancé (who happens to call himself deadmau5), so, you already know that reality star Kat Von D has interesting taste. Now, however, we get to see inside the ultimate example of her eccentricity – her home, which the 31-year-old has listed for sale at $2.5 million, according to real estate website Trulia.

The 1920s Spanish-style pad, located in the Hollywood Hills, totals 4,148 square feet and has four bedrooms and four and a half bedrooms, a guest house, and a gated entrance, which all sounds pretty innocuous. But décor wise, Von D seems to be going for an Alice in Wonderland-goes-Goth vibe. The living room features red and purple

Can't young Hollywood just get along?

Courtney Love's daughter Frances Bean Cobain went off on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner on Twitter this week…but what for?

There are two things the majority of us will never get to do: Become president of the United States and go to the prom in Hawaii. Barack Obama has gotten to do both.

Though the world has seen plenty of pics of the 51-year-old in his presidential role, we're only now getting a peek at his prom night thanks to a former high school classmate of Obama's, who turned the pic over to Time magazine recently.

The photo shows (L-R) Obama's pal Greg Orme, a fellow varsity basketball player; Kelli Allman (nee McCormack), Orme's date and the woman who shared the photo; a cream blazer-wearing Obama; and his date, Megan Hughes. The foursome was heading to the prom at the Punahou School, where three of the foursome were students. Obama's date attended the Hawaii School for Girls at La Pietra.

The shot was taken at Allman's mother's house where the group sipped champagne (uh-oh, they were underage!) before heading to the dance and the afterparty.

Jake Davidson is one lucky fella.

The crafty Los Angeles teenager who unsuccessfully attempted to land Kate Upton as a prom date will be able to slip a corsage onto another gorgeous model's wrist. The high schooler's date on Thursday night will be Danish beauty Nina Agdal, a rep for Elite Model Management confirms to omg!.
