📰 News we're reading

1. Adva Lavie: Proceedings suspended for influencer as judge questions mental competency (foxla.com) — Beverly Hills residents are tied to an alleged dating-app burglary scheme whose accused ringleader, influencer Adva Lavie, just had her Los Angeles criminal case paused while a judge reviews her mental competency. Prosecutors say she targeted victims in Beverly Hills and other upscale areas, while a related witness-intimidation case against ex-fiancé and developer Stephen Cloobeck continues on a separate track.
   

2. Singer Miguel Condemns Racist and 'Abusive' Attacks on His Family (pembrokepinesflnews.com) — Beverly Hills gets a brief mention as the site of Miguel's appearance at a Grammy-related gala at The Beverly Hilton earlier this year, but the real focus is his new statement condemning racist and abusive online attacks against his partner and child. He describes ongoing harassment, says legal steps are being taken, and thanks those who've treated his family with respect.
   

3. Supersizing Santa Monica? SB 79 spurs 12-story proposal from Bruce Adler (therealdeal.com) — State housing law SB 79 is already reshaping nearby Santa Monica, where a 12‑story, 32‑unit project is proposed near the Metro E Line, while Beverly Hills has also adopted rules for how the law will apply locally. For Beverly Hills residents, it signals that taller, transit-oriented housing could eventually appear closer to home as cities respond to state-mandated growth targets.
   

4. Top celebrity mansions bought for millions and later sold for less (businessupturn.com) — Several high-profile celebrities have recently taken big losses on luxury homes, including mansions in Beverly Hills that sold for millions less than their purchase prices. For Beverly Hills residents, it's a reminder that even famous local addresses aren't immune to market swings, high maintenance costs, and a limited pool of ultra-wealthy buyers.
