Ed McMahon sells Calif. home, but not to Trump


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ed McMahon is on the move.

McMahon, 85, has agreed to a deal with a private buyer for his hilltop home, said Howard Bragman, the former “Tonight” show sidekick’s spokesman.

Bragman declined to name the buyer or the selling price. But he said it isn’t real estate mogul Donald Trump, who recently offered to buy McMahon’s home and act as a landlord.

McMahon and his wife, Pamela, will move out of the home when the sale is complete. Their property is located in a hilltop gated community that is also home to Britney Spears.

McMahon has faced money woes for months, with creditors filing lawsuits against him for everything from unpaid prescription medicines to loans. His home was facing foreclosure after he defaulted on a $4.8 million loan.

Though McMahon’s foray into California’s lagging real estate market may be near an end, his legal battles are not.

A hearing on a lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and countersuit is scheduled for Sept. 18.

Other lawsuits are seeking more than $750,000 from McMahon for unpaid loans and fees attorneys say McMahon agreed to pay to handle his daughter’s divorce in New York.
