To paraphrase Spinal Tap, “It’s a thin line between clever and vulgar.”
And that is true for the Pooperazzi Collection.
There are a lot of famous people kicking around Malibu, a place they come for peace and quiet out of the limelight.
The unwritten law of Malibu is: “Leave them alone.”
If you’re sitting next to Pam Anderson or Dick van Dyke or Flea and they spill a cup of hot coffee on you: “Leave them alone.”
Malibu is home, it’s where they come to chill. They don’t like to be pestered every two minutes by people asking for autographs or money or selfies - leave ‘em alone.
It’s also considered gauche and bad form to stick a camera in the face of celebrities.
So this collection of photos of Malibu celebrities was all done with their backs turned - mostly - while they weren’t looking. On the sly.
Clever or creepy? It’s a thin line.
Here is a Pooperazzi slideshow, but to make it fun, the names are hidden to protect the private. Maybe there will be hints along the way.
Guess who! Don’t sue!!!!!

He likes to tell dumb jokes. Tonight he asked a bunch of Pepperdine girls: “How do you get an 80-year-old woman to yell the F word?”
“Tell another 80-year-old woman to yell Bingo!”
Hardy har har.

I broke the Unwritten Law and asked him about a benefit he did with C____ in Santa Cruz in the 1970s. He remembered. They got a candidate named Camacho in trouble because all the families showed up and they did their raunchiest material.

Same dude, at Bui, with his much younger wife. I said, “Do you remember the benefit for Camacho?” He rolled his eyes and said, “Yep.” I said, “You got in trouble.” He said, “No CAMACHO got in trouble.” and he was right, It was a mini-scandal.

The bird-stained seats and tables of Malibu Kitchen are a funny place for this well-known germophobe.
