Local Malibu Events, Services Disrupted

The Calabasas Pumpkin Festival has been canceled due to the Malibu brushfire and high winds, according to Sgt. Philip Brooks of the Sheriff's Malibu/Lost Hills station.

Also, the MTA Line 534, which runs along Pacific Coast Highway, has been halted, according to transit agency spokeswoman Gayle Anderson.

Pepperdine University students are holed up in one area of the campus, but the university is not being threatened at the moment. Shifting winds and embers make the fire's path totally unpredictable.

5. This fire is NOT affecting just those rich "stars". There are MANY other people & animals in the area trying to get out. Telling us about these "stars" that have been evacuated, makes it sound like they're the only ones being helped.

As for Spears, she won't even know there's a fire until she trys to go to Starbucks. Even then, she's so oblivious to the real world she probably won't even notice.

7. Hey TMZ, from the looks of it, the intelligence of your readers is less than a 6th grade level. No wonder you are so popular!

8. I notice there are more comments on the news about celebrities homes, none of average humans beings's homes I have lived in California more than 20 years know the area very well. I even drove on secret road to the Malibu from Agoura Hills many times. There are lots of horses zonings out in that area. I wish there is more talk about the avaerage people real life - normal ones on either on news or on celebrity news. It is not what real journalism is used to be.

11. I just left Agoura High, the Red Cross evac center. most of the people there left home with zero belongings. It all happened so fast. We now have 6 other major fires burning in and around So Cal. Here is Agoura it is raining ash and the sky is dark from both the Chatsworth fires and Santa Rosa fires.
I have been in So Cal more than 40 years and seen some very scary fire seasons, but this is the worst I can remember.
It's not about the celebs. It's really horrible here right now

14. For all those kvetching about the attention given to celebrities, this is a celebrity news site. Go to latimes.com for coverage on the rest of us.

So far, the Malibu fire is the one that is the largest, most out of control, and the damage of which will be most costly, which are (among) the reasons why it's getting the most attention.

Please send good thoughts, hopes, and prayers to all of us here in California...remember--we're all Americans. Part of the beautiful land that is America is burning from fire right now; one should never take pleasure in destruction of his or her country.
