Former TLC member’s Georgia mansion will be auctioned. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins Georgia mansion could be the latest celebrity crib lost to foreclosure. The singer’s five-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot spot is set for courthouse auction next month. She reportedly defaulted on a $530,000 mortgage. News of T-Boz’ trouble at home comes on the heels of word that “American Idol” Fantasia Barrino also faces foreclosure. Barrino’s North Carolina crib is set to go to auction in January as well.

Oprah’s California mansion is safe. Firefighters are finally getting a handle on wildfires, which destroyed hundreds of homes in Santa Barbara hills where a number of celebrities live and threatened the mansion of Oprah Winfrey. Fire came close to Oprah Winfrey’s mansion, but managed to miss the sprawling structure and the homes of many of the talk show host’s friends, whom she called on Friday to see whether they were ok after wind-driven fires forced them to flee with little more than their pets. Winfrey told her TV audience that had her estate actually caught fire, her main concern would have been her dogs, since she didn’t have any children. Wild fires spread to the northern edge of Los Angeles, cutting power to a hospital, which was force to operate on backup power Monday. They also forced firefighters to evacuate 5,000 people from the town of Sylmar just north of Los Angeles. Officials say the wind-blown blazes scorched more than 20,000 acres over the past four days and destroyed nearly 1,000 homes, including 500 homes in a trailer park. But no injuries have been reported. Winds eased by Monday morning, allowing firefighters to put in firebreaks and lift evacuation orders for about 25,000 people.
