Every week, TopTenRealEstateDeals.com delivers the latest scoop on today's hot real estate news. Celebrity, historic, famous homes and much more. Their web features have been covered by Time, CNBC, USA Today and many other major media.

This week's Top 10 homes spotlight at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com includes a look at Mel Gibson's House of Rant in Costa Rica where a recording of Mel slamming things around the house and screaming obscenities was a severe blow to Mel's movie career. Mel originally put his tropical acreage on the market in 2010 for $35 million, but recently relisted it at $29.8 million. There are three homes in the compound with each of the smaller single-story homes having two bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, kitchens, verandas and their own swimming pools.

One more proof that ". .real estate is never boring" is that a realtor was likely the first of the viewing public to know that Michael Strahan had been chosen as Kelly Ripa's new co-host. How did such a thing happen? Because when he listed his Hermosa Beach, California digs, the media found out and the gossip columns came alive with the big question. Was this a sign that he was the chosen one? After a year of waiting through guest host after guest host, Michael's agent was probably one of the few people who knew for sure. Michael's home is priced at $1,819,000, and it looks like he already has a potential buyer.

After having his home on the market for two years, Ryan Seacrest is finally celebrating. Ryan originally purchased his Hollywood Hills home from Kevin Costner in 2006 for $11.5 million, who bought it from Richard Dreyfuss in 1995 for $2.7 million. Ryan just sold it for $11 million. Ryan recently purchased Ellen DeGeneres' estate for $37.5 million.
