Singer building

GIMME SHELTER

SoHo’s Little Singer Building has a knack for bringing in big musicians. Our spies spotted Usher taking a look at a 3,000-square-foot co-op there, an apartment that was once home to Pras of the Fugees.

The seventh-floor residence at 88 Prince St. (also known as 561 Broadway) is on the market for $3.85 million. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment has 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, mahogany doors and private balconies.

Usher was hard to miss during his visit. The R&B superstar showed up with his broker, personal assistant and bodyguard. The keyed elevator could be a hit for somebody who needs security.

Crazy stoop love

This isn’t your typical model apartment. Marisa Tomei, whose latest movie, “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” opens next week, was spotted checking out a $1.65 million Greenwich Village duplex that belongs to French actress/model Josephine de La Baume. The current, um, face of Agent Provocateur lingerie, de La Baume is engaged to music producer/DJ Mark Ronson.

The condo, located in a townhouse at 131 W. 11th St., comes with an impressive fashion pedigree. It was the former home of Vogue creative director Grace Coddington and itself the object of a fashion spread. (Coddington sold it to de La Baume for $1.45 million in 2009.)

The 1,225-square-foot residence, with two woodburning fireplaces and a modern spiral staircase, has a “flexible floor plan” with room for two bedrooms. Outside, there’s a private terrace filled with plants.

Two-bed, 1-Kath

“American Idol” alum Katharine McPhee is living in a high-floor, two-bedroom apartment at the new MiMA development while filming executive producer Steven Spielberg’s new show, “Smash,” which will air on NBC this fall. Two-bedrooms in the complex on West 42nd Street are about 1,100 square feet and are priced around $6,900 a month.

MiMA includes a 44,000-square-foot amenity space with a residents-only Equinox fitness center, a basketball court, an indoor lap pool, indoor and outdoor screening rooms, a game room and terraces with private dining pods and barbecue facilities.

Art & commerce

Artist Richard Prince recently visited a townhouse at 113 E. 90th St. that was on the market for $10.995 million. He was interested in the lineage of the building, which had most recently served as an art gallery and separate residence. But Prince will have to keep looking — an undisclosed buyer just snapped up the townhouse for $9.825 million.
