Ed McMahon’s publicist says TV icon and wife are staying in hilltop home

Friday, December 19, 2008 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ed McMahon can stay put. Publicist Howard Bragman confirmed Thursday that the TV icon and his wife have no plans to move from their home, which has been facing foreclosure for nine months. Bragman said he doesn’t have details about the deal that’s allowing the 85-year-old McMahon to stay, but added: “They ain’t leaving.”
Public records show there was a series of transfers of the loans last month on McMahon’s house, which is in a hilltop gated community that’s also home to Britney Spears.
A Southern California company, Foreclosure Trackers Inc., has taken credit for brokering the deal and say they plan to negotiate a better deal for McMahon, 85.
Robert Lee, the company’s chief executive officer, said earlier his year that his aim was to prevent McMahon from having to move.
“I don’t want their home,” Lee said. “I want to make sure the McMahons can keep their home.”
