Alrighty then! Soon Jim Carrey will be hamming it up all over the Upper West Side. A source says he’s renting a four-bedroom, five-bath penthouse across from Lincoln Center. The actor, who’ll be paying $45,000 a month on a one-year lease, is due in town to shoot A Little Game Without Consequence, a remake of a French film that reunites him with his Mask co-star, Cameron Diaz. The apartment—which has a 2,000-square-foot living room, seven terraces, and views of the Statue of Liberty and the George Washington Bridge (eternal sunshine not guaranteed)—is listed for $11.8 million with Corcoran’s Carrie Chiang. Among his neighbors is well-known Italian tenor Salvatore Licitra, who famously stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Luciano Pavarotti to sing Tosca for the Metropolitan Opera’s 2002 gala. Until recently, Licitra rented in the building, but he just bought a million-dollar one-bedroom through Bruce Cohen of Gumley Haft Kleier. Chiang and Cohen had no comment.
