Each month we bring you a sneak peek inside the homes of the world's rich and famous. This month, Glee actress Lea Michele puts her dreamy renovated Los Angeles home on the market and Mark Ronson lists his funky Spanish Revival. Plus Mr. Chow's beloved mega-mansion also goes on sale and Forest Whitaker decides to move on from his Hollywood Hills estate. Let's take a look inside...

Movie star Jason Statham and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have put a $19.9 million (£15.4m) price tag on their Malibu beach house. The Fast and Furious actor paid $10.6 million (£8.2m) for the property in 2009, which was the same year that the couple were romantically linked. Located inside the exclusive Malibu Colony enclave, the property is called 'The Black House' due to its jet-black shingled exterior. 

Inside the house, however, it's calm and bright – just as we'd expect from Rosie's fashion-forward sense of style. The large property has over 3,900 square feet of space and a total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms shared between the main house and a guest apartment. The open-plan main living space is the last word in luxury with heated Belgian Oak floorboards, off-white walls and floor-to-ceiling-windows for picture-perfect views over the private beach. 

The house also has two extra reception rooms. One is used as a TV room with a built-in entertainment unit and the other features a fabulous redbrick fireplace surrounded by feature wood-storage shelves and mid-century-style furniture. The lower floor also has an eight-seater dining table with a vaulted ceiling and a seating nook nestled beneath the picture window.

Their master bedroom is located on the second floor and features French doors that lead outside to a private deck. As well as access to a private beach, the house also has a custom-made spa on the deck which spans the entire length of the house, plus a courtyard that sits between the main property and the guest house. We think it's a knockout!

More than two years after it originally popped up for sale with a price tag of $6 million (£4.6m), Forest Whitaker's Hollywood Hills mansion is on the market again for $4.3 million (£3.3m). The actor purchased the estate back in 2003 in two transactions worth a total of $2 million (£1.5m), so he's set to make a sizeable profit, despite the price drop.

Sitting on 1.6 acres of private land, Forest Whitaker's estate has a 4,700-square-foot main house and a nearly 2,000-square-foot guesthouse with a total of 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms between the two properties. The entrance to the main house opens out into a grand hallway with a sweeping double staircase that leads through to a double-height living room, spacious den and a 30-foot-long dining room. 

The spacious master bedroom is decked out in a calming Scandi-inspired palette, with cool white walls, rustic woodwork and plenty of textured throws. Featuring one of four fireplaces in the house, the luxurious space also has a balcony, walk-in wardrobe and travertine-tiled ensuite bathroom with a separate dressing zone.

Sitting between the two houses is a wooded area which features a secluded patio, a shaded dining terrace with an outdoor kitchen and a swimming pool, all of which are overlooked by a treehouse. The three-storey guesthouse has its very own gated driveway and is fully self-contained with two kitchens and several sitting rooms. It's the ultimate hideaway for a big Hollywood star!

Actress Heather Graham has put her home in the upper Beachwood Canyon area of LA's Hollywood Hills on the market for $2.9 million (£2.2m). The Hangover star has owned the property, which was built in 1927, since 1998 when she bought it for $880,000 (£680k). With three bedrooms and five bathrooms, Graham stands to make a substantial profit on the villa.

With a double-height ceiling and some striking architectural details, the living room has a global theme and is decked out with mid-century furniture and Moroccan-inspired soft furnishings. The stylish space also features an open fireplace, rustic wooden beams and an arched doorway that leads through to the dining room.

As you'd expect from the stylish Graham, the interior design is gorgeous and airy. The dining space leads through to the sun porch and a charming country kitchen that features sage-green beadboard cabinets and multi-coloured Spanish tiling. Elsewhere on the ground floor, there's also a library with built-in sofas – ideal for kicking back and relaxing after a long day on set.

The secluded master suite opens out onto a snug Juliet balcony where you can glimpse stunning vistas across the canyon. Outside, there's an antique brick terrace with a built-in barbeque and outdoor kitchen, plus a lavish swimming pool and open-air cabana. If it was ours, we'd never let it go!

Former radio and TV host Larry King and his soon-to-be ex-wife Shawn Southwick have put their mansion in Beverly Hills on the market for nearly $17 million (£13.1m). The couple purchased the vast mansion in 2007 for $11.7 million (£9m), and are set to make over $5 million (£3.9m) from the sale. With 10,000 square feet of space shared between the main house and the guest house, there are a generous seven bedrooms on offer overall. 

Sitting behind grand gates, the remodelled Tuscan estate is full of lavish finishes including imported Italian limestone and Venetian plaster. The house has obviously been a labour of love for the now separated couple and it could become a special new home for the right buyer. Imagine kicking back in this living room! With a regal coffered ceiling and the spectacular columned fireplace taking centre stage, there's an adjoining games room with a wet bar next door – perfect for entertaining.

Five ensuite guest bedrooms are located on the second floor along with the sprawling master suite. Complete with a fireplace, a separate sitting room and dual bathrooms which include a lavish hot tub, it's the perfect place to relax in the lap of luxury.

After spending time renovating her home in Mandeville Canyon, Los Angeles, Glee star Lea Michele has put it on the market for just over $3.3 million (£2.5m). She originally purchased the pad in 2015 for a little less than $3 million (£2.3m), so isn't set to make a substantial profit from the sale. The secluded home is tucked away on a private lane and sits on half an acre of land with views over the canyon. 

Spread over 3,200 square feet, the four-bedroom home is situated across a single floor. There's an airy living room, dining room and open-plan kitchen and a wow-factor vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that lead outside. 

Centred around a double-width marble island, the kitchen has all the latest appliances including a swish glass-fronted fridge. The three guest bedrooms are currently used as flexible living spaces, with one set up as a dressing room and another as a TV lounge. Elsewhere, the plush master bedroom comes complete with an ensuite bathroom and direct access to the landscaped back yard. 

Outside, the small swimming pool sits in the centre of a manicured lawn, alongside a sunkissed terrace which is perfect for alfresco dining. It also has a built-in barbeque area and outdoor heating which hangs from the vine-covered trellis.

World-renowned music producer Mark Ronson has put his plush home in LA's Los Feliz up for sale at just under $5.4 million (£4.2m). The Grammy-winning star purchased the property for a jot under $4.3 million (£3.3m) in late 2016. Built in 1935, it was designed by architect William Asa Hudson and sits behind secured gates with 5,200 square feet of interior living space. 

The main living space is just as eclectic as you would expect from the award-winning music mogul. There are yellow armchairs from the lobby of the iconic San Remo apartment house in New York City, where Ronson grew up, enough room for a grand piano and carved wooden beams. The dining room next door has the same bold approach to decorating, with dragon-print wallpaper and a goat-skin covered table. 

The huge eat-in kitchen has a vintage vibe, featuring an industrial light fixture, white marble countertops and stainless steel designer appliances. Through the French doors, there's a large dining terrace which sits next to the outdoor kitchen, plus a swimming pool that's surrounded by foliage for privacy.

Two guest bedrooms share the upper floor with the sapphire-blue master suite, which features a large sitting room with a corner fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with vintage-style penny tiles. A big bonus, the house also offers a two-storey guest property that's perfect for hosting friends and family.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan has decided to move on from his rustic mansion in Park City, Utah, recently listing the property for $7.5 million (£5.8m). The extravagant steel and stone dwelling is perched high on top of a hill and offers the chance to purchase the star's designer furniture as part of the sale.

The home is a huge 9,600 square feet in size and is full of luxury finishes, including bamboo flooring, Italian marble, stained glass and furniture made from Swiss Pearwood. The main living space features soaring cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows for a bright and airy feel. The open-plan space is also home to a gourmet kitchen, which is just one of two in the house.

The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home isn't short of amazing amenities either, offering several dens, a screening room with stadium seating, a wine cellar and tasting area, a mirror-walled gym and a golf simulator room.

Outside, stunning views over the valley can be enjoyed from the luxe infinity pool and the property's numerous terraces, which are fitted out with built-in barbeques, fireplaces and outdoor televisions. Not too shabby!

After putting his property on the market for a full year before taking it off, actor and restauranter Michael Chow has relisted his huge mansion in Holmby Hills for nearly $70 million (£54m). Custom-built by Chow and his now ex-wife in 2005, the home was modelled on the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and is full of opulent period finishes flown in from around the world, from European 16th-century ceilings to 400-year-old Moorish columns. 

As well as a home, the property was built as a dedicated space for Chow to display his world-class art collection. The main living spaces have soaring ceilings, but one of the most opulent rooms has to be the library. Inspired by Art Deco aesthetics, it has walls lined in exotic slabs of polished hardwood and features a huge piece of statement artwork.

Elsewhere, the vast formal dining room can accommodate the largest of A-list dinner parties and even the lavish home cinema can seat up to 40 guests on its tiered leather seating. There's even a dining table set up so you can chow down while you watch!

The grounds feature palm trees and manicured lawns, while the tranquil rooftop terrace is perfect for watching the sunsets. Sitting in over 1.1 acres of land, the property is one of the most private celeb pads we've seen, with the compound encircled by walls and gates, and monitored by security cameras. Tempted?

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has put her luxury condo along LA's Wilshire Corridor on the market for $1.3 million (£1m). The actress purchased the condo back in 2007 for $1.1 million (£850k) and has since renovated it, adding high-end touches. Part of a sixteen-storey complex, residents can expect valet parking, a concierge and 24-hour security. However, this all comes at a price, with service fees of more than $1,250 (£970) per month. 

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom space has a modern interior with fresh white walls and dark-stained wood flooring. With just shy of 2,100 square feet of floor space, the property features picture windows running along the length of the living and dining space, drawing in swathes of natural light.

In keeping with the condo's neutral modern decor, the kitchen features sleek marble countertops with a simple white colour scheme and an array of high-end appliances. However, there are also a few traditional touches, such as the Belfast sink and country-style cupboards, which add rustic charm.

The plush master bedroom suite includes a lavish bathroom with white marble tiling across the walls and floor. The main bedroom also offers a custom-fitted wardrobe and a huge dressing area decked out with mirrors – a staple for any Hollywood star!

Known for his starring role as Frodo in The Lord of the Rings franchise, actor Elijah Wood has put his 1,400-square-foot compound in Venice, Los Angeles, on the market for $2 million (£1.5m). The star has owned the property since 2004, when he snapped it up for a cool $1.2 million (£930k). 

The lot sits behind a tall fence and comprises two cottages that have recently undergone renovation works. With a bright red door, the front property dates back to the 1920s and features quirky cork tiling and an airy open-plan living space framed by a wood-beamed cathedral ceiling.

Offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms across the two properties, the accommodation on offer might be snug but it doesn't scrimp on style. This narrow kitchen features stylish concrete worktops and a vintage farmhouse-style range. The adjacent dining space has cosy bench seating, offering the perfect place to grab a casual meal.

The remodelled bathroom features a pastel-coloured stained glass window, while an extra-wide door in one of the bedrooms leads out to the deck and firepit – ideal for alfresco entertaining under the stars. Bamboo screening offers the utmost in privacy, while plenty of foliage creates a cosy secret garden feel. Time for a property upgrade?
