Jenna Jameson’s Hollywood Hills Mansion Foreclosed
Jenna Jameson, the adult star and “heart breaker,” just lost her Hollywood Hills mansion. She defaulted on the mortgage after the home had water damage. She decided to not fix the property because she said it was not worth the expense. Before the water damage, she did unsuccessfully try to sell the home.
Jameson listed the home for $1.899 million. That is nearly a million dollars less than what she paid for it in 2006. After no one was interested, the home headed into foreclosure. She stopped paying on the mansion, and defaulted on her mortgage payments by $56,918. In June 2013, the final judgment against her was for $2,027,816.
The home just sold at a foreclosure auction for $1.8 million.

Since this former running back has been off the field, he has been dealing with the law. Around Feb. 2009, he was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. The charges were later dismissed. In June 2012, DeKalb County police arrested him for driving under the influence.
He pleaded guilty and the charges were reduced to 12-months of probation and a $700 fine.

Allison Janney Home in Foreclosure
Allison Janney is best known for her role on a television show called The West Wing. Even with celebrity status, foreclosure still struck this actress. Janney and her oldest friend, Gregg Rapp purchased a property in 2006 for $3.95 million. The home is located in Palm Springs, Ca. The bank has filed for foreclosure on the home with a mortgage balance of $2.25 million.
It is not certain if the two friends planned to live in the house or wanted to use it for investment purposes. However, they did try to sell the house in 2010 for $5.5 million. Seven months later, the duo dropped the price to $4.5 million. In 2011, the listed sale price was just under $4 million.
The property is a 5-bedroom and 5-bath home with 6,657 square feet. The home has Hollywood history to it as well. The late actor, William Holden, previously owned it.
