Gwen Stefani, who rose to fame as the face of rock band No Doubt, has sold the Beverly Hills Post Office-area home she shared with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale for $21.65 million.
The buyer is Sebastian Maniscalco, the stand-up comic and actor who has a role in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film “The Irishman,” and his wife, artist Lana Gomez.
The renovated contemporary-style home, once owned by Jennifer Lopez, is in a guard-gated enclave north of Beverly Hills and sits on a lot of about two acres.

Inside, the home keeps the eyes moving with black-and-white striped cabinetry in the kitchen, an artful accent wall in the dining room and three fireplaces set within ribboned stone. A theater room, a gym and two offices are among other living areas. Including the guesthouse, there are seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

A covered lounge creates additional living space outdoors and has a patio with a wet bar and another fireplace.
The property last changed hands in 2006 for $13.25 million, property records show. Although it carries a 90210 ZIP Code, the L.A. Times Mapping Database identifies the area as part of Studio City.
Stefani, who turned 50 this month, has won three Grammys, including two for the songs “Hey Baby” and “Underneath It All.” She returned to the singing competition show “The Voice” this season as a coach.
Rossdale, 53, is the frontman and guitarist for the rock band Bush. The group has released six studio albums, most recently “Man on the Run” in 2014.
Their divorce was finalized in 2016.
Maniscalco, 46, released his fifth stand-up special, “Stay Hungry,” earlier this year on Netflix. As an actor, he has appeared in the films “The Nut Job 2″ and “Green Book.”

An agent of wellness
It was a successful offseason for NBA agent Rich Paul, who oversaw a trade that sent his superstar client Anthony Davis to the Lakers. Now, the Klutch Sports Group founder has inked a deal of his own, buying a brand-new Beverly Hills home for $11.7 million.
The Beverly Hills Flats abode was billed as a “wellness house” complete with a gym, a Peloton bike and a Scandinavian hydrotherapy circuit (think sauna, steam room and cold plunge). Three months of cold-pressed juice deliveries and private, in-home yoga lessons were included with the home in as well.

Blending Georgian and traditional design styles, the two-story home holds six bedrooms and seven bathrooms across 6,300 square feet.

French doors open to the backyard with a dining patio, lawn, a swimming pool and a spa. The detached gym sits on one side on the pool, and the Scandinavian wellness facilities sit on the other.
Paul, 37, founded Klutch Sports Group in 2012 with a client list of NBA stars headlined by his longtime friend LeBron James. According to Forbes, the agency makes about $25 million in commissions with a roster including Eric Bledsoe, Ben Simmons, John Wall and Draymond Green.

Her digs are back on the menu
Fashion designer Eva Chow has put her estate in Holmby Hills back on the market for $69.975 million.
Chow and her ex-husband, restaurateur and designer Michael Chow, originally listed the home last October for $78 million. After the couple’s divorce last year after 26 years of marriage, the property was deeded over to Eva Chow in April.
Designed and custom built by the former couple over a seven-year period, the sprawling showplace was intended to showcase an extensive art collection. Moorish columns, carved ceilings and gallery walls lend a museum-like quality to the home. Rows of arched doorways flank a voluminous living room.

Drawing on a classic
In Studio City, the longtime home of Joseph Barbera — half of the legendary animation duo Hanna-Barbera — is for sale at $12 million.
Barbera, who created classic cartoons such as “Tom and Jerry,” “The Flintstones” and “The Jetsons,” bought the two-acre retreat in the 1990s and lived there until his passing in 2006 at 95. His estate sold the property in 2015 for $4.95 million.
Found in Fryman Estates, the property combines two parcels on two acres and centers on a roughly 7,000-square-foot home built in 1988.

Past a half-timbered exterior, the recently renovated floor plan holds expansive living spaces with beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, stone fireplaces and custom built-ins. A chandelier-topped foyer leads to a living room with French doors and, beyond that, a remodeled kitchen with a temperature-controlled pantry.
The main level also boasts a pair of dining areas: a formal dining room with picture windows and a sunny breakfast nook under dramatic rotunda-style ceilings.
Also on the main floor is the master suite. One of six bedrooms, it features a corner fireplace and mirror-lined closet and dressing room. All 8.5 bathrooms boast Italian vanities and designer tile.
Amenities fill out the rest of the valley-view estate. There’s a flagstone patio with a swimming pool and spa, as well as a tennis court and 20-car garage. Out front, a stone motor court leads to a porte-cochère.
Donovan Healey of Hilton & Hyland holds the listing.
Barbera founded Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1957 with William Hanna. Together, the two former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors won seven Academy Awards. Their string of successful shows includes “Scooby-Doo,” “The Yogi Bear Show,” “Wacky Races” and “The Smurfs.”
