On this episode of Cribs, we travel all over the sunny state of California to check out the pimped out pads of artist Omarion, blogger Perez Hilton and NFL baller T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

First to welcome us into his home is the R&B phenom Omarion. As the former lead singer of B2K and the star of You Got Served, the young chart-topper already has an impressive résumé. His three gold records have gained him plenty of green, so his crib is sure to impress.

Accompanied by his pug, Son, Omarion shows us the "off-limits" room where the all-white furniture screams, "don't touch!" Then, things take a relaxing turn as we enter the "woosah" room, named for the sound he can't help but make upon entering the stress-free sitting area. Omarion then performs a brief concert on an elegant grand piano before showing off his absurdly huge TV that is mounted on the wall of his family room.

Next stop is the kitchen, where we find Omarion's fridge fully stocked with SmartWater, VitaminWater and, most importantly, turkey bacon. Upstairs, he shows us the "love tub" where he keeps an acoustic guitar handy in case of impromptu serenade sessions. Finally, Omarion takes us outside to scope his rides: a 2008 Escalade, perfect for being chauffeured around town in, and a custom Bentley, the ultimate status symbol. With that, it's time for the Cribs crew to get a move on to the next house.

For Perez Hilton, the "queen" of celebrity gossip, home is a bi-level apartment nestled among the mansions of Los Angeles. The brash blogger is no stranger to the good life, having made a name for himself with his no-holds-barred exposés on celebrity culture, especially his controversial "outings" of allegedly closeted stars. But just how much of the glitz and glamour has Perez captured for himself?

First things first, Perez Hilton introduces us to his roommate, Teddy Hilton, a curly, cuddly goldendoodle who makes his crib a true home. He then walks into his living room that houses the "Wall of Perez," his collection of portraits painted by some of his readers. When the doorbell rings, the tour is momentarily put on hold as Perez's mother, Teresita, drops in for a visit. Perez admits that he pays his mom to clean for him, and the "#1 Son" magnet on the fridge in his cramped kitchen confirms that this media guru is quite the mama's boy.

Upstairs, Perez Hilton has his office where, instead of sitting at a desk, he kicks back on the couch for his daily blogging. Next, he shows off his enormous California king-size bed that greets him after a long day of dishing juicy gossip. Finally, Perez takes us into his favorite room: the pink palace. What used to be a second bedroom is now one giant closet that holds all of his clothes, as well as his pink Hello Kitty guitar. But this is no ordinary storage area; MTV has set it up so Perez can do his weekly "Meet the Perez" segment on TRL live from his very own closet! Perez then sends the Cribs crew on their way, 'cause he's got a party to go to.

The final stop on the California cruise is at the pad of T.J. Houshmandzadeh, wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Chosen for the 2007 Pro Bowl, T.J. is still considered one of most underrated players in the league by NFL pundits. However, his crib proves that he's certainly not underpaid.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh's tour begins in the lounge area, complete with a wraparound couch, flat-screen TV, fireplace and a personalized popcorn machine for his kids. He then passes through his open-air loggia/dining room and into his kitchen, where the double-sided fridge is stocked with VitaminWater. The freezer below houses T.J.'s one weakness: Baskin-Robbins ice cream. After taking us through his daughters' preposterously over-painted bedroom, decorated to their exact specifications, T.J. stops in his master bedroom and shows off his canopy bed with clouds painted overhead. But no magic happens here, as T.J. explains that most nights are spent "four deep" with the whole family crowding into bed with him.

We then head outside, where T.J. Houshmandzadeh gives a rundown of his whips. The black Range Rover Sport with 22-inch rims is for his wife, the '08 Supercharged Range Rover with 24-inch ashanti rims and Strut grill is for the man himself and the '08 S550 Mercedes-Benz is the family car. Around back, T.J. shows off his swimming pool that has a waterfall, a fireplace with a waterfall behind it, a nearby gazebo with a cascading waterfall and a hot tub with yet another waterfall. Beyond that is a basketball court, where the tour ends 'cause it's time to make way for a family game.
