      Kendrick Lamar’s Childhood  Home in Compton Is for Rent

      Kendrick Lamar, deemed “arguably the most talented rapper of his generation” by Rolling Stone last year when he was 27, has written and spoken often of growing up in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton, which just this past weekend awarded him the Key to the City. It’s six blocks from Tam’s Burgers — “where I seen my second murder, actually,” he told Rolling Stone. Dude was in the drive-thru ordering his food, and homey ran up, boom boom — smoked him.” (Tam’s is the same restaurant where Suge Knight is said to have run over two men in the parking lot.) The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,200 square feet, and it’s up for rent at $1,895 a month. “It’s a hell of a neighborhood,” one old-timer told Rolling Stone.

      UPDATE: Gorgeous Charlton Heston Time Capsule Home Goes for ...

      We can’t say we’re entirely surprised: Actor Charlton Heston’s incredible time capsule home, which we wrote about when it hit the market just last month, already has an offer pending. As you may recall, this is the first time the home has ever been for sale. It was built for Heston and his family in 1959. The family was asking $12,249,000 – which seemed possibly a bit pricey for its location in Los Angeles’ Coldwater Canyon, considering that Zillow estimated its worth at about $9 million.

      In Texas, the Mansions Dream Bigger Too -- Just Ask This White House Lookalike

      There’s a certain kind of a mansion that’s popular in Texas: They’re ornately-detailed, extravagantly-appointed and classically-styled. Not only is it all those things, but it goes a step further: This house bears a striking resemblance the White House. Located in Preston Hollow, a ritzy suburb of Dallas, Texas, this $15 million mansion shares most of its exteriors with the White House. Both the “Dallas White House” and the real White House feature a Federal-style triangular north portico, complete with four columns across and eight columns total, as well as the same number of windows, placed in the same way.
