Suzanne Somers Hot For Malibu

---

Actress Suzanne Somers and her husband, former game-show host Alan Hamel, have leased a home on the beachfront in Malibu for close to $30,000 a month, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
 
The couple leased the 3,600-square-foot house, because their Malibu residence was one of four homes destroyed in the Malibu fire of 2007.
 
The house they just leased was damaged in the 2007 fire, but it has been remodeled to look newly built.

The architectural-style, tri-level house has a large master-bedroom suite with a sitting room, walk-in closet and oceanfront deck. It also has three additional bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a kitchen area opening to the pool and spa.
 
The floors are made of stone and bamboo, and there are stone counters throughout the house.
 
Somers, who co-starred in the sitcom "Three's Company," is a model-author-businesswoman. Hamel is co-owner with Somers of a licensing company. The two are gourmet cooks, and she writes books about healthy foods, which fans say keep her looking hot. She was born in 1946.

Mike Medavoy, chairman and co-founder of Phoenix Pictures, tasted the water and decided not to drink.

Medavoy, 68, no sooner listed his Beverly Park home at $19,995,000 than he changed his mind and took it off the market. "We can't find anything we like out there more than where we are now," he said of his six-bedroom, 10-bathroom East Coast traditional.

Not only has it been the Medavoys' family home for the past 10 years, but the 11,769-square-foot-house, on two acres, has been used for such events as Golden Globes parties accommodating as many as 900 people.

Upcoming movies for Phoenix include "Shutter Island," directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and "Shanghai," starring John Cusack, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Chow Yun-Fat.
