Chynna Phillips thought she had embraced the Halloween spirit by decorating her home with pumpkins—until she caught a glimpse of the extravagant display outside her neighbor’s historic California residence.

The 58-year-old songstress took to Instagram to share a video of the eye-catching decorations at a property in Toluca Lake, CA, revealing that her own seasonal efforts suddenly seemed rather modest by comparison.

“I was so proud of myself for getting pumpkins and putting them in front of my house,” Phillips admitted in the clip, revealing that her decorations featured several large pumpkins.

However, her confidence quickly faded when she turned the camera toward a neighboring property, where an impressive collection of illuminated jack-o’-lanterns covered the grounds.

“Suddenly, I’m feeling very intimidated,” she joked.

“I don’t know if this person was denied the chance to be able to decorate his own home as a child, you know? Maybe he asked his mom if he could get a pumpkin or two and put it at the front door because, guys, this just looks like somebody who’s acting out. I really just think this is somebody who’s trying to make a very strong statement,” she added.

The sprawling Halloween spectacle featured pumpkins suspended above hedges, rows of glowing jack-o’-lanterns, spooky figures, and decorative arches adorned with carved pumpkin faces.

Despite her playful commentary, the singer made it clear that she admired the elaborate setup.

“You did a great job, you know, I actually am so impressed. So impressed,” she said.

The property responsible for Phillips’ Halloween envy is a historic Tudor Revival residence known as Lilley Hall, which has become a popular seasonal attraction in the Toluca Lake neighborhood.

Built in 1927, the home takes its name from composer and arranger Joseph J. Lilley, who lived at the property between 1954 and 1971, according to its Instagram account.

Today, the residence belongs to Glenn Geller, president of television at Skybound Entertainment, and his husband, Jim Maresca, who have transformed the property into an elaborate holiday destination.

The couple’s Halloween decorations have become a neighborhood tradition, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

In an interview with The New York Times last year, Geller revealed that the display incorporates more than 250 illuminated pumpkins and approximately 100,000 lights.

Keeping the decorations glowing is no small undertaking, with Geller explaining that the setup requires more than 300 extension cords.

And while assembling the massive display might seem like the most challenging part of the process, the homeowners revealed that finding somewhere to keep the decorations after Halloween presents an even bigger logistical hurdle.

The couple stores the pumpkins in their attic, relying on friends to help transport the decorations up and down two flights of stairs.

For Phillips, however, the finished product was more than enough to earn her admiration—even if it made her own Halloween decorations look a little understated.

Kardashian matriarch and “momager” extraordinaire Kris Jenner is once again trying her luck on the housing market by relisting her iconic Hidden Hills, CA, mansion with a $2 million discount.

Jenner, 70, originally listed the home in February 2025, having used the residence as her family’s primary dwelling for more than a decade, throughout which it featured prominently in the Kardashians’ popular E! reality series.

However, on May 2, the dwelling was briefly removed from the market—after more than a year without a sale—with sources having told TMZ that Jenner was having second thoughts about whether to part ways with such a large piece of her family’s reality TV legacy. The home was then relisted with the exact same price.

Then, just one week ago, Jenner removed the property from the market. Now, Realtor.com® can exclusively reveal that the home has been relisted with an impressive discount of $2 million, bringing its new asking price to $11.25 million.

An insider previously told TMZ that Jenner had spent “months … debating whether to keep it in the family as a long-term asset,” adding that she “hesitated to move forward” with the sale because she “started reconsidering the bigger picture.”

“We’re told Kris views the estate as more than just a sale … it’s a piece of the Kardashian-Jenner legacy, and she seriously weighed holding on to it for future generations,” the outlet claimed.

According to the outlet, Jenner had received multiple offers on the home, however, was reluctant to commit to a sale.

At the time, those same insiders insist that she made up her mind once and for all—recommitting to a sale of the infamous abode, which reappeared on the market not long after it was delisted, complete with a few new listing photos to better showcase its interior.

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” fans will immediately recognize the six-bedroom property’s dramatic black-and-white entryway, which features two grand staircases that lead up to the second floor.

Jenner, who is mother to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and Rob, purchased the home with her former spouse, Caitlyn Jenner, for $4 million in 2010—three years after the Kardashians’ wildly popular series debuted.

However, in the 15 years since she bought the home, Kris’ life has changed dramatically—as have the lives of her children.

In 2015, she and her spouse divorced after more than 20 years of marriage and just a few months later, Caitlyn came out as transgender during an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer.

Kris, who is now in a relationship with talent manager Corey Gamble, has also expanded her property portfolio and no longer uses the enormous abode as her primary residence.

Her children have also welcomed kids of their own and purchased their own sprawling megamansions in and around Los Angeles—and beyond.

Speaking about her initial decision to sell the expansive 8,000-square-foot abode, Kris told The New York Times that she believes the time has come for another family to make their own memories within its walls.

“I’ve shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family, and I’m excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners,” she said.

The outlet noted that nobody is living in the property—which is listed with Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California—and the furniture featured in the listing photos was brought in especially to fill the home while it is on the market.

However, should a potential buyer take a liking to the interior decor elements, there is an option to purchase the property fully furnished for an additional $400,000.

Though the Kardashians’ original furniture may not feature in the listing photos, the spaces inside the home will no doubt be instantly recognizable to their most avid followers, including the monochromatic foyer, which served as the backdrop for hundreds of social media photos over the years.

Photos taken at Kris’ annual holiday parties often featured the sweeping staircases, which were decked out in extravagant decorations, with multiple Christmas trees scattered throughout the grand entryway.

Similarly, the bedrooms will no doubt ring a few bells for “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” fans, who watched a then-teenage Kendall and Kylie grow up inside the abode, while their older siblings would regularly stop by to visit, gossip, and eat salads around the kitchen table.

According to the Times, Kris’ son Rob, 37, lived in the home most recently; however, all of her children are understood to have resided there at one point or another, even though they all have their own stunning abodes.

In 2022, Kris proved the enormity of her own real estate collection when she candidly confessed that she had forgotten about a Beverly Hills condo she owned, revealing that she primarily used the property for storing champagne and wrapping Christmas gifts.

“Here’s the thing. I have a condo, and my mom has one, and my cousin has one, and we all live nearby. I kind of forgot it was there,” Kris admitted during an episode of the family’s Hulu spinoff, “The Kardashians.” “That sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?”

However, while she’s selling what is perhaps her most famous home, Kris isn’t leaving the neighborhood altogether, having purchased two other homes in Hidden Hills since purchasing her for-sale abode.

She picked up one abode in 2017 for just under $10 million but sold that off just three years later, having renovated the home extensively before deciding to put it back on the market.

That property was located across the street from her daughter Kim’s house.

Sticking with what she knows best, Kris continued her real estate retail therapy in the Hidden Hills area, this time with her daughter Khloe.

In 2020, the mother and daughter duo were understood to have bought adjacent abodes in the exclusive neighborhood, with Kris paying $20 million for her piece of the property pie.

Eager to ensure that her latest home buy could serve as her longterm residence, Kris embarked on a gut renovation of the existing structure to create her dream abode, which she unveiled to the world in a 2022 episode of “The Kardashians.”

And it appears that plan worked given that she’s now finally walking away from the residence that has served as something of a “backup” abode for so many years.

Though it may no longer be to Kris’ tastes, the home in question offers an array of top-of-the-line amenities and decor features, starting with the oh-so-iconic entryway, which the listing describes as a “soaring foyer.”

“From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a breathtaking double staircase in a soaring foyer, setting the tone for the grandeur within,” the description states.

Perhaps one of the most alluring aspects of the home, at least for prospective buyers with large families, is that all six of the bedrooms boast their own en-suite bathrooms.

The primary suite offers an enormous spa-inspired bathroom, as well as a fireplace, wet bar, steam shower, and gym, with the listing describing it as a “private retreat.”

“With endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation, this home is truly one-of-a-kind,” the listing concludes. “Live like a star in this legendary estate where timeless elegance meets Hollywood prestige.”

Chris Brown‘s former housekeeper, Maria Avila, has accepted a reduced payout of $9.5 million—after she was attacked by his dog while at his $6 million California home.

Avila was brutally attacked by his 200-pound Caucasian shepherd guard dog, Hades, at his Tarzana, CA, home in 2020. 

After the first trial concluded and the musician, 37, was directed to pay Avila $13 million, his legal team filed court documents that claimed that the judge’s decision to allow the jury to hear testimony about his assault on his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, swayed the outcome.

Now, court documents obtained by TMZ have revealed that Avila has accepted a reduced payout of $9.5 million—meaning that the new trial will not take place.

The payout is separated into $3.85 million for past non-financial losses, $5.4 million for future non-monetary losses, and $250,000 for medical expenses.

The news of her acceptance comes after the judge ruled that there would be a new trial.

“The court conditionally grants a new trial on the issue of damages only,” the previous ruling revealed.

However, he noted a new trial could be avoided if Avila “agrees to a reduced award of $9.5 million.”

“There was evidence of extensive future emotional distress, humiliation, shame and embarrassment, and other lesser items of future non-economic damages, including some persistent pain from nerve damage,” Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Huey P. Cotton added in the ruling.

During the first trial, the housekeeper recounted the horrific event in court, telling the jury that she had been taking the trash out at the property when she was attacked by Hades.

She claimed Hades tore “large chunks of skin” from her body, causing significant injuries to her arm and her face that required several sutures and skin grafts.

Avila also claimed that she has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and nerve damage which has made it difficult for her to work.

Brown, who was present at the time of the attack, told the jury in his testimony that he put the dog in a kennel after it hurt his housekeeper.

The musician, now 37, admitted that he had been left “freaked out” by the amount of blood at the scene, telling the jury that he was in a state of “shock” when he realized what had happened.

Speaking about his housekeeper’s condition in the wake of the attack, Brown said that the area around her nose and under her eye appeared “severed.”

“I know it’s graphic, but you could see the skin was kind of raised. You could see the cut and the blood coming out. … It was a lot of blood,” he said, according to Rolling Stone.

He added that his security guard called an ambulance, but admitted that he left the property before emergency services arrived because he wanted to avoid a potential “media circus.”

“I didn’t want a misleading story, or like a circus, from my status. It’s pretty sticky when it comes to that. So me staying out of the way was advised,” he said.

Brown further stated that he felt the need to have a guard dog at his home because he had dealt with “a lot of stalker-type situations” as a result of his fame.

However, while he conceded that his guard dog was “absolutely not” friendly, he claimed that he had previously warned his housekeeper of the danger posed by Hades, alleging that he told both her and her sister, Patricia, to not go outside without his permission.

Avila, who primarily speaks Spanish and gave her testimony via an interpreter, insisted that this conversation had not ever taken place, claiming the language barrier would not have made such a discussion possible.

Avila first sued the R&B star in 2021; however, the lengthy legal fight only just reached its conclusion in July, as first reported by Billboard.

Patricia—who was present at the property and working with her sister at the time of the attack—was also awarded $885,000 for emotional distress, while the housekeeper’s spouse, Oscar Olivo—who claimed that his physical relationship with his wife had been severely impacted by the incident and her injuries—was given $50,000.

Michael C Murphy Jr, a lawyer for Patricia, told Rolling Stone: “After more than five years of litigating against Chris Brown, we are thrilled that we were able to get justice for our client, Patricia. We are so happy for her and her family after everything they went through on that horrible day.”

Brown purchased the 8,300-square-foot property in 2015 for $4.3 million; however, Realtor.com® now estimates the home is worth $6 million.

The property comes complete with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and several lavish areas such as a theater room with 14 reclining seats.

Brown’s home is known for its extensive security. In addition to Hades, the home is also outfitted with 16 security cameras.

This isn’t the first time the property has made headlines. In 2019, the home became the center of public attention when Brown hosted a public yard sale on the premises and shared the address.

The dog attack is the latest in a line of lawsuits that the actor has been met with.

In 2009, he was arrested for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend and pop sensation, Rihanna.

He pled guilty and was sentenced to community service. He was also put on probation for five years.

In 2014, he violated the terms of his probation and was put behind bars for 131 days.

In 2016, he settled a claim that he assaulted another girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, who received a restraining order against him.

In 2023, it was alleged that Brown assaulted music producer Abraham Diaw, at a Mayfair members’ club. He was arrested in 2025 and charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. He pleaded not guilty. His trial in October.

Brown, meanwhile, has sued a woman for allegedly defaming him after she accused him of raping her on yacht in 2020.

Brown also tried to launch a $500 million lawsuit against the makers of a documentary, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence.” The judge dismissed the case.
