Gimme Shelter

BOUGHT ONE POWER COUPLE'S HQ! 4 BR, 4 BTH hillside home overlooking the Sunset Strip PRICE $1.7 million

Less than a year after loudly declaring their disdain for L.A. and selling their tony Hancock Park home, gal pals Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche have quietly returned to the city of angels. They bought their new digs -- nestled in the Hollywood Hills -- from fashion and celebrity photographer Firooz Zahedi. The 2,800-square-foot stucco-covered abode, built in 1966, has an outdoor pool and is surrounded by bamboo, lavender, Mexican sage, and fountain grass. A modern flair is carried throughout by sandblasted glass windows, stained concrete floors, and a stainless-steel-accented kitchen. Perfect for cooking up dinner for two -- or a headline-grabbing Hollywood project.
