ASSAULT CHARGE: IS CHARLIE SHEEN AS INNOCENT AS HE LOOKS?

There’s WAY more to the story about Charlie Sheen being attacked by a neighbor! Charlie was allegedly strangled by a neighbor, Electra Poag Schrock, (above) who he claimed to have been feuding with recently. One of our sources just happens to know Electra and told us some background. She grew up in Orange County in an affluent family – her dad is a big time real estate developer, her mom a socialite, but she she’s estranged from her parents who have been divorced for decades. Earlier this year, she was accused of elder abuse on her mom. Now HERE’S where it gets interesting. Electra has been telling friends that she was having a secret fling with a celebrity who lived not far from her in Malibu. She didn’t name names, but all roads seem to lead to Charlie. A few weeks ago Electra told pals the celebrity wanted to END things, and THAT’S when Charlie alleges that Electra started harassing him, even vandalizing his car. There could be more to this situation than meets the eye…

Malibu Meghan Markle Prince Harry We Told Ya So!

WE TOLD YA SO!

You read it HERE first! Way back on March 14 we revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had just started house hunting in Malibu. Now – nearly 6 months later – TMZ has confirmed our scoop! As we told you back then, the couple want to be closer to the lights, camera and action of Hollywood. They LOVE Montecito living, but depending on traffic, it can be well over a 2 hour drive from LA. The social couple seem to be spending more time in LA, including attending the Beyoncé concert, sporting events, charity functions, and parties, so moving to Malibu has become enticing for them.

Malibu Meghan Markle Montecito Prince Harry Real Estate

MEGHAN AND HARRY: MONTECITO TO MALIBU?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are financially comfortable now, thanks to his autobiography and their Netflix development deal. They are thinking about moving a few miles south, from Montecito to Malibu! Harry and Meg love the laid back yet sophisticated lifestyle of Montecito, but they’ve quickly grown bored of the wealthy but limited neighborhood. “There are only so many restaurants in town, and the shopping doesn’t compare to Los Angeles,” a Montecito resident told me. Since the couple love the beach and Meg wants to be closer to Hollywood, they’re laser focused on The Colony, a gated beachfront community in Malibu less than an hour from their current home. The Colony is as close to having a private beach as anywhere in California, plus it’s loaded with celebrities – which means enhanced SECURITY. It checks all of their boxes, so Harry and Meg have discreetly started their real estate search.

Beach Estate Kim Kardashian Malibu Real Estate

KIM KARDASHIAN WANTS TO COOL OFF

Not sure if it was that 100 degree plus heat wave earlier this month in Hidden Hills that drove Kim Kardashian to purchase a beach house, but she DID. In a big way, according to Dirt. Kim paid 70.4 million for a 7500 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 5.5 bath estate in Malibu. The lushly landscaped 3 acre property is the biggest Malibu sale this year. Her kids are going to be thrilled – besides an ocean view, the place has stairs leading down to it’s own secluded beach. Kanye might not be so happy – the house is almost 15 miles from his Brutalist Malibu home, so they won’t be neighbors…

Chris Martin Dakota Johnson Malibu Real Estate

ARE WE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT CHRIS MARTIN AND DAKOTA JOHNSON?

Real estate can be deceiving in more ways than one. Recent headlines about Chris Martin, 43, and Dakota Johnson, 31, buying a Malibu house together are jumping the gun. It seems Chris and Dakota, who have been dating for three years, just moved into a posh Malibu home that was recently sold for 12.5 million. The house looks delightful – it’s 5338 sq ft and a short walk to the beach and shops. Observers are ASSUMING that Chris and Dakota bought it together in preparation for marriage. No one has seen any purchase documentation. Chris could have bought the house for himself (he has two kids with his ex, Gwyneth Paltrow) OR the unidentified buyer could have leased it to Chris. But everyone wants to see them engaged. Dakota already has her own mid-century modern house in LA that she loves, and it’s not for sale. Whatever is happening, they are a cute couple, engaged or not. Above, Chris and Dakota were in Aspen with his daughter Apple, who looks a lot like her mom…

Coco Arquette Courteney Cox Covid-19

COURTENEY COX HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH COVID

At least we know that Courteney Cox has been hunkering down during the pandemic at a magnificent (probably mid-century or modern) house in Malibu. She has a knack for buying gorgeous architectural homes that need updating, re-doing them, and selling them for a hefty profit. Early on during the pandemic, Cox and her daughter Coco invited a couple of friends to isolate with them, and after testing negative, the friends moved in. Two days later one of the guests came down with Covid and ended up deathly ill on a ventilator. The other isolated in the guest house and Courteney brought him food every day. Luckily Courteney and Coco didn’t get sick – but it was quite a scare.

Alias Bradley Cooper Jennifer Garner Romance

ROMANCE FOR BRADLEY COOPER AND JENNIFER GARNER? DON’T THINK SO.

Bradley Cooper and his daughter Lea and Jennifer Garner were seen reportedly looking “flirty” on the beach in Malibu today. Many observers assumed it was a possible romance, since both parties are now single. But don’t jump to conclusions. It’s clear from this 2016 photo of Bradley and Jennifer at a fashion show, that they are very fond of each other and enjoy each other’s company. Fact is, they’ve been friends for YEARS – since they costarred on the Alias series from 2001 to 2006. If a romance didn’t develop a long time ago, it probably won’t now…

Black Lives Matter Demonstration Malibu Protest

THIS IS WHAT A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION LOOKS LIKE

Of course, this is Malibu and not a lot of bad things ever happen there, unless it involves weather or falling rocks. But some inhabitants were determined not to be left out of a socially significant protest. A group of earnest young people congregated at a busy intersection and flashed appropriate Black Lives Matter signs with no obscenities, as cars drove by and honked in agreement. No violence. That’s how they do it in Malibu.

Chris Martin Kate Hudson Malibu New Couples

TEMPERATURES RISING IN MALIBU: CHRIS MARTIN AND KATE HUDSON

For a quiet, rather soft spoken guy, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, 38, really gets around. Malibu was sizzling today and he and Kate Hudson, 35, might have been sizzling also. It was a family day with two sets of kids and assorted nannies and friends. Chris wore a wetsuit while surfing and Kate tanned in her bikini. They make kind of a cute couple – he has a weakness for blondes and she has a weakness for musicians.
