Following in the footsteps of Matt Damon, who moved east after hitting it big in Hollywood, Newton native John Krasinski and his wife, actress Emily Blunt, are selling their LA home and heading back this way. The Wall Street Journal reports that the "13 Hours" star and Blunt have put their West Hollywood manse on the market for $8 million. The couple bought the contemporary five-bedroom home with roof deck and swimming pool for $1.86 million in 2009. The listing agent, Catherine Marcus of Sotheby's International Realty, characterized the property as a "sexy family home." A spokesperson for the pair said they plan to move to the East Coast, which likely means they'll land in New York.
