By Erika Riggs, Zillow
Anderson Cooper didn't have to shop around for his latest real estate purchase. The CNN host bought the home right next door to his Hamptons estate. The aerial photo above shows the?proximity of the two homes, with Cooper's first home being the one at the bottom of the photo.
He purchased a 2.4-acre estate sitting on Aspatuck Creek waterfront in the Quogue real estate market of eastern Long Island. It is 3,654 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 fireplaces and a Gunite pool and spa.
Built in 1924, the estate's last homeowner was Oscar-winning screenwriter Budd Schulberg, whose great achievement was "On The Waterfront,'' starring Marlon Brando.
Schulberg passed away in the home in 2009 at age 95. The estate was placed on the market in 2010 for $2.95 million, according to property listings. The price was dropped to $2.45 million in August 2011 and then Cooper scooped it up for $1.7 million.

Philbin sells Greenwich home

Regis Philbin's estate sold for $3 million
Cooper wasn't the only TV star making moves in real estate this week.
After trying on and off to sell his Greenwich, Conn., estate over the past five years, Regis Philbin has finally sold it for $3 million.
The talk show icon first listed the home in 2008 for $5.9 million, and hoped the 4-bedroom, 6.5-bath property would attract a buyer who appreciated the 5,919 square feet of living space on a cul-de-sac. But it didn't sell.
In May 2011, Philbin relisted the home at $4.195 million shortly before he announced retirement from ?Live With Regis and Kelly? after almost 25 years on the air. The 79-year-old star has long been a familiar face on American television ? so much that Philbin holds the Guinness World Record for the most time spent in front of a television camera.
The price on Philbin?s Greenwich home was cut to $3.8 million in July before the property was finally sold for $3 million.

Rivers' apartment back on market with price raised
Zillow
Joan Rivers' gilded and expensive penthouse.
When a home won't sell, there are tactics sellers can take to stir up interest, including cutting the list price.?However, if you're Joan Rivers, you're more likely to try something a little more unconventional.
The red carpet hostess and queen of snark made the decision to delist her gilded Upper East Side apartment and then relist it at a higher price, going from $25 million to $29.5 million.
Even in celebrity real estate circles with rising Upper East Side home values, this is not exactly a textbook move.
Situated "just steps from Fifth Avenue," the apartment features Central Park views from floor-to-ceiling windows. Updated and completely modernized, the home has two master suites, a gourmet eat-in kitchen and three wood-burning fireplaces.
