From the NY Post's Gimme Shelter:
--Bad-plastic-surgery poster child Jocelyn Wildenstein becomes the latest person to opt in to the Plaza, spending nearly $10 million for around 3,000 square feet of space. She recently sold her large townhouse at 12 E. 82nd St. for over $13 million.
--Britney Spears was in New York last week and didn't stay in her own apartment, which as we have noted before, has lingered on the market for two years.
--15 Central Park West, which was formerly the Mayflower Hotel, recently sold a penthouse for more than $40 million.
--Cher has sold her Miami home for $8.8 million. The six-bedroom home has a gym, a spa, a wine cellar and an infinity pool.
--Catesby Kilmer, a socialite who has been jailed for stealing money from her boss, is selling her Southampton house. It is listed at $2.5 million and will be our estate of the day later today.
--Donald Trump believes that Las Vegas is still the place to be. He and partners Jack Wishna and Phil Ruffin plan to build Trump International Tower II, a new luxury development. Did he learn nothing from his own ex-wife's failed project in Sin City?

From the NY Times' Big Deal:

--Sam Gores, president of the talent and literary agency Paradigm has bought a Wallace Neff-designed home in Beverly Hills for $16.5 million. The grounds include a studio/guest house, a greenhouse., a formal Italian garden, a reflecting pond and a pool.
--The former La Habra Heights home of potato chip queen Laura Scudder is on the market for $3.5 million. The home has rough-hewn beams, tiles from the Caribbean and a massive fireplace (shown above). The listing is here.
