ALLEN’S LONDON PROJECT

Woody Allen is looking for a London pad to rent. The film-maker wants a house with three or four bedrooms, and it must have a swimming pool. “He is flexible on area and doesn’t have a specific budget,” says my source. Allen, 73, is in the capital working on his next film, as yet untitled, but set to star Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto and Antonio Banderas.

HAMPSTEAD HIGH

The R&B artist Craig David is on the move, and is selling his two-bedroom penthouse flat in north London for £6.25m. David, 27, bought the 4,000 sq ft property in 2002 for £2.5m, and gutted it, turning three bedrooms into two. Situated on the edge of Hampstead Heath, the flat has state-of-the-art technology including LED lighting, a home cinema and fingerprint-pad entry. David has been looking at houses in the area.

MILLING AROUND

She’s moved from the catwalk to the big screen, and now she’s shaking up her property portfolio. Milla Jovovich, has just put her fourbed home in Beverly Hills on the market for $3.29m (£2.25m). The house has a formal dining room, all-glass wall at the rear and a grand master suite with its own sitting room. Jovovich, 33, has also slashed the price of her townhouse in New York’s Greenwich Village. The property, which has a roof deck with an outside shower, went on the market in May last year for $8.75m, but has been reduced to $7m. Perhaps the model-turned-actress wants something more family-friendly – she gave birth to her first child 18 months ago, a daughter named Ever.
