David Spade

Adam Sandler is the proud recipient of the 2,431st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard. Sandler, who received his star in the Category of Motion Pictures yesterday, was accompanied by his wife Jackie Titone and two daughters, Sadie and Sunny. Actors Henry Winkler and Kevin James were also present at the ceremony. James was a co-star of Sandler's in the recent blockbuster comedy, Grown Ups, while Winkler was a co-star in Waterboy.

Sandler was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire. His films have grossed more than $3 billion worldwide. His most recently film, Sony Pictures' Grown Ups is the highest-grossing of his career, taking in more than $271 million worldwide. Sandler's next film, Just Go with It, which co-stars Jennifer Aniston, will be released by Sony Pictures on February 11 (view the official movie trailer below).

Men don't outgrow playing with toys. The toys just get bigger. And more expensive. Case in point the gifts given recently by Hollywood comedian Adam Sandler to his Grown Ups co-stars.

The blockbuster comedy netted some $270 million, and in return, Sandler reportedly bought a $200,000 Maserati for each of member of his supporting cast: Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider and Kevin James. No word on exactly which model Sandler ordered, but considering that both the Quattroporte and GranTurismo models start around $120,000 each, he must have gone for all the options and then some. That's quite a way of saying "thank you".

As we mentioned earlier, this house is involved in the sordid drama of the Charlie Sheen/Denise Richards marriage. Richards bought the home after she first separated from Sheen on the recommendation of her friend Heather Locklear who lives down the street. According to the tabloids, Richards is now dating Locklear's soon-to-be ex, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. Locklear is allegedly dating David Spade.

Now that we've addressed the rumor mill, let's check out the house. It's located in the gated enclave of the North Ranch Country Club Estates. The home sits on one acre and has seven bedrooms and other details including a theater room, maids living quarters and a family room with a built-in entertainment center. It's in a private part of town and quite a large home but it looks like Richards moved her children's  toys in, added a couple of Pottery Barn couches and called it a day. The home is listed at $4.3 million. After the jump, someone didn't tidy up before the photo shoot...
