Website Listing Addresses and Aerial Photos of Celebrity Homes Comes Under Scrutiny

The L.A. Times reports today that one our favorite sources -- Celebrity Aerial Address -- is currently under scrutiny in connection with a criminal investigation. A search warrant revealed that one of the alleged Hollywood Hills burglars used the site to obtain the addresses of celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Orlando Bloom.

Some people may not realize that the addresses of celebrities' homes are public information.  It just take a little bit of legwork to find it.  Or you can visit CelebrityAerialAddress.com.  The site's operator, David Ruppel a.k.a. Celebrity Dave, gathers publicly available data on celebrities' homes into a one-stop shopping site and charges a fee for the service. 

We use Dave's service occasionally.  (So do a lot of other celebrity real estate bloggers!) We try to avoid publishing the addresses of celebrities, however.  We believe our readers typically don't care about where celebrities live.  They're just curious about how celebrities live.

Tell us, do you think there's anything wrong with having access to celebrities' addresses?

Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Houses, Part III

Soon-to-be Baby Mama Kourtney Kardashian came home Saturday night to find out her Calabasas, CA, home had been burglarized.  More than $100,000 worth of watches and jewelry were reportedly stolen, including vintage jewelry left to her by her deceased dad (famed attorney Robert Kardashian), a Cartier watch valued at $30,000, and a Rolex watch belonging to her boyfriend/Baby Daddy Scott Disick.

Kourtney was partying in Vegas the night before at her sister Kim's birthday bash, but was already back in town before the burglary occurred.  She went out for an early dinner with her Baby Daddy-to-be and discovered the burglary upon her return.

Kourtney lives in a 2200+ sq. ft., 2BR/3BA townhouse condo in this gated community (below):

So we wanna know WHO LEFT THE GATE OPEN?!!  Or was this an inside job?

Whatever the case may be, we're sorry for Kourtney that it happened.

UPDATE:  TMZ just ran a story questioning whether it was an inside job.
