creating additional living space.

A private, 2,100-square-foot rooftop deck with built-in seating and a spa tops the penthouse.

Apatow has developed and produced a slew of sitcoms and films over the years, including “Freaks and Geeks,” “Girls,” “The 40-Year-old Virgin” and “Knocked Up.” He founded his production company, Apatow Production­s, in 1999.

Mann has starred in “The Bling Ring,” “Funny People” and “Blockers,” among a host of films. This month, she’s in “Welcome to Marwen.”

‘Endless Love’ nest for lease

In the upper Riviera area of Pacific Palisades, the home of actress Brooke Shields is up for lease at $24,995 a month.

The “Pretty Baby” star has owned the three-story retreat since 1997, when she bought it with her then-husband, tennis star Andre Agassi, for $3.25 million.

The gated estate features brick and lumber on the outside and Douglas fir hardwood f loors on the inside. In 5,345 square feet, there’s a formal dining room, a center-island kitchen with marble countertop­s and a family room with a stone fireplace.

French doors line the living room, which opens to a wraparound deck that takes in canyon views from the property’s hillside perch. Five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms fill out the rest of the interior. The third floor is dedicated to the master suite, which features two fireplaces, an office, a lounge, a free-standing tub and a balcony.

Outdoors, the property descends to a stone-lined pool and spa, as well as a viewing deck.

Shields, 53, starred in the films “The Blue Lagoon” and “Endless Love” before attending Princeton University in the 1980s.
