Craven to Pauly: You're a Nightmare on My Street

Posted Jun 20th 2007 7:29PM by TMZ Staff

Wes Craven has sued Pauly Shore for allegedly causing a honkin' landslide on his property and screwing with his head.

In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ and filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Craven says Pauly, his neighbor, slacked off in keeping up his yard, pool, spa, sprinklers, irrigation, swales, downspouts and slopes. As a result, Craven claims "water from the Shore Property intruded and infiltrated the Craven Property causing a slope failure/landslide" in December, 2006.

Craven, who caused millions to cringe in a string of horror movies, claims he "suffered and will continue to suffer severe emotional distress and anxiety..." Touche!

Craven is seeking unspecified damages.

A call to Pauly's rep was not immediately returned.

5. Get over it Craven. YOUR people should have been keeping up with your property and landscape condition. They should have seen trouble coming long before major damage was done. what is it with the rich and famous. Can't they look around their own homes. Or are they all in the same funk as Paris Hilton saying "I have people to do that" !!!!

9. TMZ pretends to be a "news" site, focused primarily on celeb gossip but the documents it posts to the web site (except for the OJ book) often redact information that is otherwise public record under the California Public Records Act. Note how in this lawsuit TMZ redacted Wes Craven's address. One could walk down to the Court House, get a copy of this public record (the lawsuit) and obtain an unredacted copy. But no, the celeb publicity machine - pretending to be a quasi-news site gives the reader garbage. Sweet.

Note the ball-less TMZ and Harvey Levin (inactive State Bar member) never pursued a CPRA action against the LASO for refusing to release the public record "tape" of Mel Gibson's traffic stop. If this "news" agency won't put its money where its mouth is an actually enforce the CPRA (Calif.Const. Art. 1 Section 3(b)(2); Gov.Code Section 6250 et seq.) then why bother flapping it's gums about the LASO's failure to comply with the CPRA or allow public records to be redacted without a legal basis.

There is no privacy right to keep your address from the public in a civil suit where the underlying issue revolves around a particular property. TMZ is more worried about kissing celeb but, sticking up for Paris Hilton -oddly- and largely editorializing. Why comment at all here - right?

12. Craven "suffered" extreme emotional distress and anxiety long before this alleged incident.

14. so long as the correct permits are in place...Mr. Shore it not at fault. let's be honest, solar drive is on top of a freaking mountain, but precautions and arrangements should have been agreed to on both parts before this even happened.
