PIC: MICHAEL VICK'S MANSION UP FOR SALE FOR $4-5 MILLION.


LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Michael Vick, banned from the National Football League after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges, has put his Georgia mansion up for sale. The celebrity gossip website TMZ.com said Friday that the onetime Atlanta Falcons quarterback was seeking 4.5 million-dollars for the house, located on waterfront property in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth and featuring seven bedrooms and 8 1/2 bathrooms. The European-style home also features a white, stucco exterior, Cathedral ceilings, two fireplaces, hardwood floors, a two-story foyer and a garage for at least four cars. The home was built in 2004. It carries a monthly mortgage of $23,063 and the annual property taxes are $26,700. TMZ said Vick's estimated monthly payment on the property topped 23,000 dollars.

A source close to Vick said that, while the banished quarterback has not conceded that he won't resume his career with the Falcons at some point in the future, he has spent very little time lately in the Atlanta area. Instead, Vick, who has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL, has mostly been with family in his hometown of Newport News, Va., where he is awaiting sentencing in December after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges. Vick also faces state charges in Virginia stemming from the dogfighting activities to which he has admitted in federal court.

Within the past five weeks, three banks, most recently Wachovia Bank, have filed suit against Vick and other defendants connected to him, charging that he has defaulted on loans.

Vick, whose merchandise was once among the most coveted by NFL fans, was summarily dropped by sponsors Nike and Reebok in the wake of the unsavory dogfighting charges against him, which included killing animals that did not perform well in fights.

Vick formally pleaded guilty on August 27 to involvement in an illegal dogfighting ring, and he is due to be sentenced on December 10. While Vick faces up to five years in jail on the charges of organizing dogfighting and conducting an enterprise including gambling and the sponsoring and transporting of dogs in dogfighting operations, prosecutors have said they will recommend a sentence of between one year and 18 months.

Not only was Vick banned by the NFL after his guilty plea, but the Falcons are also trying to reclaim almost 20 million dollars in bonuses from the man who was once the face of their franchise.Earlier this month, an arbitrator ruled that the Falcons have the grounds to try to recoup the money, because it applied to future services which the now-suspended player cannot provide.

The NFL Players Association plans to appeal that ruling.

NEW CANDID CELEBS: DAMON WAYANS W/HIS GRANDDAUGHTER; TYRA BANKS ARRIVING IN LOS ANGELES.

Damon Wayans morphed into his infamous 'Homey D. Clown' character (from In Living Color) after a member of the probing paparazzi asked the comedian to smile for his camera. Wayans, who had just had dinner at Mr. Chow restaurant with his adorable granddaughter...yep, Damon is a grandfather!, replied, 'Homey don't play that.' What was even funnier was the fact that the photog had absolutely no idea what Wayans was talking about!

But that situation wasn't as nearly as funny as an incident which took place last spring. When a group of female fans thought they spotted Damon and his girlfriend leaving Parc Nighclub in Hollywood, they commenced to getting their groupie scream on something proper-like! One female was heard yelling at the top of her lungs, 'DAMON WAYANS!' Only problem was it wasn't Damon....it was Damon's big brother Keenen Ivory Wayans leaving the popular hotspot with his girlfriend and actress Brittany Daniel of The CW's comedy sitcom series The Game. Some kind of fans they are!! LOL!

I just thought I'd share that information with you all this Saturday morning. Shooot, I don't know about yall, but both stories were funny as hell to me! Oh, and before yall ask, I don't know what the hell happened to that car door! LOL!

VID LINK & CELEB CANDIDS: SOLANGE SHOPS WITH HER SON IN LOS ANGELES; BEYONCE SHOPS WITH HER MOM IN MOSCOW.

Solange Knowles and her son, Daniel were spotted shopping at Kitson's on Robertson's Drive in Los Angeles on Friday. And it looked as if Baby D. gets a thrill out of randomly testing his mother's alertness. As they walked back to their car, in a blink of an eye, the tiny toddler nearly ran into oncoming traffic while his mother's back was turned. Call it mother's intuition, because the 21-year-old singer was quick on her feet...even while rocking four-inch heels! Bey-Bey's baby sister promptly retrieved her child, took him by the hand and snapped his lil ass into his car seat! And it was all caught on tape! (Click link to watch video) Maybe Daniel was just trying to get the last lil bit of those 'terrible twos' out of his system before he advances into the 'tumultuous threes' later on this month.

'THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL' STAR 19-YEAR-OLD SON FOUND DROWNED

The Bold and the Beautiful soap star Hunter Tylo's (who plays Taylor Hayes Marone) 19-year-old son Michael 'Mickey' Tylo, Jr. was pronounced dead last night (Friday, October 19) after being found floating in the swimming pool at his family's home in Clark County. According to tmz.com, the death is currently under investigation and toxicology tests have been requested.

Hunter has endured much tragedy in her life, as her youngest daughter Katya was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, and was forced to have her eye removed and replaced by a glass eye. Hunter was also involved in a very high profile lawsuit against Aaron Spelling, after she was fired from Melrose Place for being pregnant (with daughter Izabella). She won a nearly $5 million judgment from the producer.

A rep for The Bold and the Beautiful, on which Hunter has been a cast member on and off for 16 years, would not comment.
