    Tommy Lee Jones puts Florida ranch on the market

    TODAY real estate contributor Barbara Corcoran provides a sneak peek into some of the celebrity homes that are on sale across the country, including Tommy Lee Jones' Florida ranch and David Hasselhoff's gated mansion in Encino, Calif.

    By Barbara Corcoran, TODAY contributor

    This week in celebrity real estate, Mary Louise Parker puts her Greenwich Village duplex on the market for a third time and Tommy Lee Jones lists his 50-acre polo ranch in Palm Beach, Fla.

    Tommy Lee Jones
    Wellington, Fla.: $26.75 million

    Zillow

    Tommy Lee Jones' 50-acre polo ranch in Palm Springs boasts an 11,000-square-foot home.

    Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones has put his 50-acre polo ranch on the market for $26.75 million. The ranch is next door to the International Polo Club of Palm Beach and down the street from the location of the winter equestrian festival. The grounds are the real draw for this property, as they include a regulation-size polo field, miles of horse trails, and two barns with a total of 48 stalls.

    Jones created the ranch -- an 11,000-square-foot home that includes four bedrooms and two baths -- by combining two parcels purchased in 2002 for $4.62 million.

    The veteran actor may be giving up his Florida ranch but not the sport – he’s apparently selling because he spends more time playing polo on an estate in San Saba, Texas, and in California.

    Joe Don Rooney
    Brentwood, Tenn.: $1.68 million

    Zillow

    Rascal Flats guitarist Joe Don Rooney's Tennessee mansion is on the market for $1.68 million.

    Rascal Flats guitarist Joe Don Rooney's Brentwood, Tenn., home is a sprawling 7,900-square-foot mansion that comes with four bedrooms, six baths, a fully equipped home recording studio, an elevator and an in-house beauty salon.

    The interior is all brown and cream with soaring ceilings and lots of dramatic curtains. Also dramatic is a two-story entryway with French doors, wrought iron railings and gleaming wood floors. The open living and dining room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The closets in the master bedroom are a clothes lover’s dream.

    Outside is a beautiful, formal pool with a waterfall.

    Mary Louise Parker
    Greenwich Village duplex: $6.99 million 

    Trulia

    Mary Louise Parker's 10-room duplex in Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan is on the market for the third time this year.

    Mary Louise Parker must be hoping the third time’s the charm – her 10-room Greenwich Village duplex has just hit the market for the third time in the past year. She’s now asking $6.99 million, down from her original asking price of $7.25 million a year ago.

    The 3,000-square-foot co-op has five big bedrooms, 4.5 baths and four exposures in a popular pre-war building. The rooms are spacious and well-lit, with beamed ceilings, arched doors and 26 windows. 

    The living / dining area has a wood-burning fireplace. The eat-in kitchen is compact but comes with a Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The children’s room has a whimsical wall mural and wacky puppet theater.

    David Hasselhoff
    Encino, Calif.: $3.795 million

    Trulia

    David Hasselhoff is asking $3.795 million for this colonial mansion, which includes two guest cottages, a swimming pool and a tennis court.

    David Hasselhoff bought this Encino home back in 1996 for $1.98 million. Today he's asking $3.795 million for the colonial mansion about 30 miles northeast of Malibu.  

    The five bedroom, 5.5 bath home home is 8,900 square feet. There are two guest houses on the 1.5 acre property, which also includes a swimming pool and spa with a waterfall, a giant exercise room and a tennis court. This home has been on and off the market, and there is a pending offer in now.

    'Grey's Anatomy' star Patrick Dempsey hopes to bail out struggling coffee chain

    By Natalie Finn, E! Online

    Talk about your Seattle grace. Patrick Dempsey is heading up a group that plans to put in a bid for struggling Tully's Coffee, a Washington-based chain with stores along the West Coast, a rep for the "Grey's Anatomy" star confirmed Wednesday to E! News.

    "I'm excited about the opportunity to save hundreds of jobs, give back to Seattle and become a larger part of the economic growth and fabric of the community," Dempsey said in a statement. 

    Patrick Dempsey also played hero when he came to a teenager's aid following a car crash

    "I've always loved this city, and with the purchase of Tully's Coffee, I plan to spend a lot of time in Seattle and at the stores connecting with the community and growing the Tully's brand. It looks like Seattle may be my home away from home in the very near future," he added. 

    Could he be more McDreamy?

    Tully's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 10 and has closed -- and is in the process of closing -- a number of "underperforming" locations, according to a statement on the company website.

    A bankruptcy auction, at which the Dempsey-led group could have some competition, is scheduled for Jan. 3.
