ACTOR Mark Wahlberg Mark Wahlberg -- a.k.a. Marky Mark (the guy whose trademark was stripping down to his whitey-whites during concerts) -- has listed his house in Beverly Hills at
$15.9 million.
The gated 1.4-acre property has about 15,000 square feet of living space, much of it devoted to grown-up toys.
The Mediterranean-style main house has a 2,500-square-foot gym with a boxing ring -- do you think he maintains that physique just by eating his Wheaties? -- and a full basketball court. There is also a state-of-the-art 35-millimeter home theater befitting an HBO prince like himself; a pool with a grotto (in case Hugh Hefner stops by?), and a waterfall. The property has a putting green as well. All that's missing is a backyard ski slope -- no doubt an oversight.
There are five bedrooms and 10 1/2 bathrooms.
Wahlberg debuted as a rap musician in 1991 and grew into an Academy Award-nominated actor. He had a brief stint as a model, gracing Calvin Klein billboards across America.
He is the executive producer of the HBO series "Entourage," which is based loosely on his Hollywood life, and of "In Treatment." He was nominated for an Academy Award for his supporting actor role in Martin Scorsese's thriller "The Departed" in 2006. He is currently starring in "Max Payne" and "The Happening."
Earlier, he appeared in "Boogie Nights" (1997), "Three Kings" (1999), "The Perfect Storm" (2000) and "I Heart Huckabees" (2004).
Hillel Sanowicz of John Bruce Nelson & Associates in Bel-Air and Greg Moore of ReMax, Sunset Boulevard office, share the listing.
'Doc' lists one, pulls one back
Actor Christopher Lloyd is just one of those guys you know would be a hoot to meet at a cocktail party. The three-time Emmy-winning Lloyd has tons of movie, TV and stage credits -- typically playing oddball characters. You probably know him as the eccentric Emmett "Doc" Brown in the "Back to the Future" franchise, but to me, he'll always be Taber in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). (Was Jack Nicholson in that movie too?)
Lloyd has been a fixture on the Montecito scene for many years. He recently took his principal house there off the market while he remodels it and is now trying to sell his pied-à-terre for $3.6 million.
That listing has two bedrooms and two bathrooms in 2,514 square feet and is within walking distance of Montecito's lower village.
