This week's top real estate headlines Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez certainly aren't short of places to live, but property records indicate that the superstar power couple recently shelled out $1.4 million for a modest Encino home.

Meanwhile, over in Beverly Hills' exclusive Trousdale Estates, musician Jordan McGraw was given a $10 million engagement gift by his father Dr. Phil in the form of a 6,500-square-foot mansion. With voluminous, light-filled spaces, clerestory windows and a massive fireplace, it's decidedly a step up from McGraw's eccentric, yet bewildering starter house.
