James Marsden is most famous for his role as Cyclops in the X-Men movies - ie, the guy whose girl Wolverine has an eye on.

Apparently Mr Marsden  purchased his Nashville property in 2008, when he left Los Angeles behind& took his family out into the country for some peace & quiet. It seems the movie business it hard to leave behind though & the property is on the market for $1,399,000.

The house sits on a 3,974 square feet property & has 4 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms. It’s down the road from the Gore property, though with their impending divorce, who knows which side of the Gores will be neighbouring with the future buyers.

The Marsdens apparently renovated the house before they moved in a few years back, so finishings are modern with plenty of eco-friendly materials in the construction.

Sex, drugs & rock ‘n roll has its benefits, if you survive the drugs part. Most of the Rolling Stones have miraculously managed to do this somehow, despite their years of over-indulgence in numerous chemical concoctions.

Ronnie Wood, the band’s guitarist,  finally settled his divorce proceedings last year, with his wife of 20-something years - who had also miraculously managed to stick it out through all the chemicals, groupies & wild lifestyle that goes with being married to a rock star for so long.

Fortunately for the ex Mrs Wood, she got a nice settlement from the whole affair - including a very grand estate in London, which she has now put on the market.

The property is definitely for the High Roller, going at around $20,000,000 (or 13,000,000 pounds) which is a whole wad of cash invested in sprawl that is fit for a rock star.

Defying the recession, Lebanese developer Musa Salem has listed his retrofitted London mansion, No. 10 Belgrave Square, for £100 million, or approximately $150 million.  Meaning 10 Belgrave Square is now tied with Candy Spelling’s Holmby Hills home for the most expensive home in the world currently on the market.

So what do you get for $150 million? “Twelve bedrooms, 20 ft. ceilings, an indoor swimming pool in the basement, a gym, a home theater,” and 21,000 square feet.  Pretty baller, but $150 million worth of value?  We’d negotiate this one pretty hard.

It looks like a La Quinta Inn (see the image gallery below), but Tony and Eva’s newly listed San Antonio mini mansion offers the opportunity to pick up a turn-key bachelor pad for under a million bucks.  Not a bad deal, considering the 5,500 square foot, 5 bedroom crib comes loaded with a fairly extensive list of luxury amenities, including a second floor media room, executive-style office, swimming pool and spa, and the half court bbal court emblazoned with the Spurs logo.

Parker picked up the pad in 2001 at the age of 19 for $782,040.  He and Eva are trading up to a $7 million, 10,000 square foot home that they’ve been building in the city.
