TV Mom Bound for Tarzana

Mo’Nique, who stars as the big-hearted single mom who attends college with her daughter in the UPN comedy series “The Parkers,” has purchased a Tarzana home for $1 million.

The actress and stand-up comic, 34, bought a home with six bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms in slightly more than 4,200 square feet. The home, behind gates on half an acre, also has a pool, pool house, tennis court and circular drive.

Built in 1996, the Mediterranean-style house has three fireplaces, stone floors, high ceilings and French doors.

Mo’Nique’s former home, which is smaller, is also in the San Fernando Valley.

Besides “The Parkers,” the actress appeared this past year in the movie “Two Can Play That Game” and the Showtime special “The Queens of Comedy.” She has had continuing performances with the Queens of Comedy Tour.

She also has appeared on NBC’s “Showtime at the Apollo,” HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam,” BET’s “Comic View” and the Montreal Comedy Festival.

She has played Nikki Parker, the same character she portrays on “The Parkers,” in the TV series “The Hughleys” and “Moesha.” “The Parkers” is a spinoff of “Moesha.”

For her role in “The Parkers,” Mo’Nique received the NAACP Image Award for best comedy actress this year.

Carmen Stanfield of Gibson & Associates, Studio City, represented Mo’Nique in buying her new home.

Former outfielder Eric Davis, who retired in October after playing 16 seasons--the finale with the San Francisco Giants--and his wife, Sherrie, have sold their Woodland Hills home for slightly more than $1 million and moved into a bigger home in the L.A. area that they bought earlier this year.

The former baseball star, 39, is a native of L.A. and played for the Dodgers in the early ‘90s.

He and his wife listed their former home about a year ago, when they decided that they wanted a home on more land.

The Woodland Hills home, on just under half an acre, has six bedrooms in 6,800 square feet.

Built in 1979, the home, behind gates, also has a 1,000-square-foot sports-media room, an office, a nine-car garage, a pool, a spa, a gym and a full basketball court. The family room has a bar and a 400-gallon aquarium.

Davis has been approached by ESPN and Fox to do some broadcasting but said recently that he has just been enjoying his family since his retirement from baseball.

Known as Eric the Red when he played with the Cincinnati Reds during the ‘80s, he has been likened to the great center fielder Willie Mays. Before joining the Giants, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Kerri Jones at Re/Max, Beverly Hills, represented the couple in selling their home.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst bought a home in Bel-Air this fall and has already put it back on the market for just under $4 million, slightly more than he paid for it.

The house has four bedrooms and a screening room in 6,600 square feet. Built in the early ‘70s around an interior courtyard pool and spa, the house, on slightly more than an acre, also has walls of glass and city-to-ocean views.

Durst, 30, helped form the rock-rap band in 1994. The group recently released “New Old Songs,” an album of remixed Limp Bizkit songs.

Earlier this month, the singer agreed to give evidence at an inquest, which reopens in Australia early next year, into the death of a fan in a crowd crush at the Big Day Out concert in Sydney.

Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency, Beverly Hills, had the listing when Durst bought the house, and now Joe Babajian and Kevin Watson of Prudential-John Aaroe in Beverly Hills have the listing, real estate sources said.

Aaron Ehasz, a writer for the Fox TV show “Futurama,” has become a first-time home buyer with his purchase of a house in the Hollywood Hills for $570,000.

The Harvard grad, who recently moved to L.A. from the East Coast, bought a three-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot house with cathedral ceilings, French doors, a fireplace in the master bedroom and a spa. The contemporary-style home was built in 1954.

Michael Medina of Re/Max Westside Properties in Brentwood represented Ehasz in buying. Carl Romeo and Rod Ostrom of Prudential John Aaroe had the listing.

A totally refurbished, Spanish-style home in Los Feliz, owned from the year it was built in 1925 until about 1940 by the late actress Bessie Love, has come on the market at just under $1.5 million.

Love, who died in 1986 at about 88, went from silent films (in which she introduced the Charleston) to talkies (in which she became a song-and-dance star) to playing Vanessa Redgrave’s mother on film (“The Loves of Isadora,” 1969) to a London stage version of “Gone With the Wind” (1972-73), playing Aunt Pittypat. She was still appearing in films through the early ‘80s.

Makeup artist Cindy J. Williams and her husband, building contractor Robert McGuigan, are the current owners. Williams won an Emmy for outstanding makeup for “The X-Files” in 1999.

The house has four bedrooms plus 41/2 baths in more than 3,400 square feet. It also has city views from almost every room as well as from two large verandas leading to a half-acre of park-like grounds. The home has a new kitchen and baths and is wired for sound.

Lori Matson of DBL, Sunset Strip, has the listing.

Joyce Perry, who has written for such prime-time TV shows as “The Waltons” and “Star Trek” and for many daytime soap operas, has purchased a Studio City house for $475,000.

Perry, who owns homes in the Hollywood Hills and Santa Barbara, bought the Studio City house as an investment. It has two bedrooms, one bath, a family room with a fireplace and a living room with a fireplace.

She also listed her late parents’ home on four acres of manicured lawns and 14 acres of forest in New Hampshire at $370,000. (Built in ‘62, the three-bedroom house also has a Japanese garden and a pool.)

Perry is the daughter of the late Norman Perry, an award-winning lamp and lighting designer whose lamps are found in the U.S. Capitol building and the White House. He designed lamps for such personalities as Jackie Kennedy and Barbra Streisand, sources said.

Rick Chimienti of DBL, Beverly Hills, represented Joyce Perry in her Studio City home purchase; Jere Peabody of Sotheby’s in Franconia, N.H., has the New Hampshire listing.
