Judd Apatow Has Something to be Smiling About

---

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Judd Apatow and his wife, Leslie Mann, have sold their Pacific Palisades home for $5.26 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows.

The traditional house sits behind gates on nearly an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac. Built in 1997, the stately 6,000-square-foot home evokes an older era with a wood-paneled library that has a secret room -- just the place to write a murder-mystery but perhaps not an irreverent comedy. Regardless, a new owner will have five bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, a playroom and a butler's pantry with a temperature-controlled wine room. The wooded grounds include a swimming pool with spa.

Apatow, 42, started as a standup comic before writing for television shows such as "The Larry Sanders Show" (1993-98) and "Freaks and Geeks" (1999-2000). He wrote and directed "The 40 Year Old Virgin" (2005), and he and author Dave Eggers recently published the anthology "I Found This Funny."

Mann, 38, starred in "17 Again" (2009), "Funny People" (2009) and "Knocked Up" (2007), which Apatow also wrote and directed.

Baio Siblings List Family Home

Actor Scott Baio, his brother Steven and his sister Stephanie have listed their mother's Toluca Lake home at $4,995,000.

The 11,000-square-foot house, a guesthouse and a swimming pool sit on more than a half-acre of gated grounds. The master suite includes a sitting room, a fireplace, a separate gym and an office. There are seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms total, plus a 10-car garage.

The late Mario Baio had purchased the property in 1994 for $1,305,000, public records show. His children said they are selling because the house is too large for their mother, Rose.
