Malibu's Most Wanted

121. This has been going on since the seventies at least. "Locals only - Vals go home" is what we heard coming to the beach as teenagers. Its not gangs - its locals that don't want tourists or paps or any uncool people hanging out near them on the beach and especialy in the water. Its been going on for years and they go after anyone who bugs them. Now I am a local and as much as I read tmz.com I'd beat those photogs ass if they come near my house or beach.

122. Who wants more BS news like TMZ, Insider, Entertainment Tonight, E Channel and gossip rags like Us Start etc....Who cares what they write? Too many people believe what they read. Challenge all that you hear. What happened to Harvey Levin the consumer adovcate? Now he wants us to consume nonsense. But stupid kids do think they belong in the MLO and more want to join. Why? Because you just gave them cred. Yes, some may be rich and others live in trailers but they are bored, stoned, durnk, youth while the olders ones are in their mid-20's. Stupid. Being a Val living in the BU for 15 years I find the righteous BU people full of it. This area is 27 miles long with many demographics. Stars, Trailer parks, Middle class, and everything in between. Every neighnorhood or area has bad ass youth but yes the MLO is getting more members. Believe me. You helped them. Most of them are nuts, drunks, thieves and losers. But organized, they are too lazy most of the time. Oh wait, the swell is up. Gotta go.

123. 2% of americans own 73% of all the stuff...I am not counting corporations or land owned by private foreign nationals. This rich thing in america now makes one sick since the middle class has been destroyed through lack of jobs that pay a livable wage. The rich young punks should have their heads bashed in...down the road not too far in the future they will be taken out of their houses along with the other rich who exploited the have nots and punished. Today is a New American but there is another New America coming that will scare the bi-Jesus out of the money people. Better do the same thing you did with your money rich people and that is go off shore very soon to avoid the atonement you deserve from your sins against the people!

124. What I find so interesting is the replies to this post telling the paps to get jobs or the posts slamming the paps. Seems you must like reading what the paps write or seeing their pictures or you wouldn't even be on TMZ reading these. Why are you even on this site if you don't appreciate what they do? The true is, the celebrities are crying all the way to the bank. If it weren't for paparazzi, most of the celebrities would far into the horizon. This is how they keep themselves in the public eye. Most intentionally go to places where they know paparazzi frequent. So those of those that don't like the job they are doing, don't log onto this site, go to CNN or some other site.

125. According to the California Coastal Commission, "the state of
California owns... the land seaward... of what is called the mean
high tide line."

In short, this means that the public has access to the wet sand, not
the dry sand above the tide line. So one can walk along the beach, as
long as the sand is wet beneath your toes.

If you look at the videos the paps were shooting photos from the dry sand NOT at the waters edge, therefore on private property. You can't argue with the facts.

126. This is one legit story that TMZ has covered. How could you people say "who cares?". Are you kidding??? A kid ended up with permanent brain damage!! Has Nolte's kid been charged? Not funny and not a story that should be dismissed, like all the crap about Paris Hilton, et al.

128. Surfer gangs have been around for a long time. I surf and I have been hassled by "locals" who think they own the beach. There are many notorious stories regarding surfer gangs, especially in Malibu and Palos Verdes and they are mostly viscious bums that should end up in jail when they pull illegal stunts like assault and battery or vandilism (even when against paps.) There is no excuse for the LA Sheriff's Dept and Malibu's mayor to turn a blind eye to this crap. Paps today, tourists tomorrow. BTW Informed Californian (Post 125) you are clueless as to the laws regarding beaches. The beach they were on is a LA County beach not a private beach and the "high tide line" rule only applies to privately owned waterfront so get your facts straight (ha! yeah! you can't argue with the facts!)

129. Uhhh you morons that are talking about the paps & TMZ deserve to get their asses kicked...why are you commenting on TMZ's website? Hypocrites!!! You are on TMZ's site reading & commenting on their posts. Stupid. Being famous comes with the job of being a celebrity. They don't like it stay home, get a different job, like other normal people. They know if they are eating at the Ivy, the paps are there. Duh! They act all bothered but they go to the places where they know they will be photgraphed. They know damn well that if there is no publicity, their movie, TV show, or album isn't going to do so well. Because we the public who BUYS there crap want the dirt. We need to know that they are still human. So if the photogs go to a PUBLIC beach, yes it is public BTW, to photograph a famous person. Too bad! You live near any celebrities or the live near you, it comes with the territory. Its just the way it is. So you hypocrites & whiny, complaining celebrities should shut up or move. And any group of persons who come together to commit violence on other people intentionally, is a gang. Although, I have to admit they are weak ass, wannabes. I laugh at you.

130. I come on here and nearly every story has a racial attack by blacks against the whites. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with blacks. Look back on most of the postings, most of them have something to say about "WHITEY" this or WHITEY that. When whites do post we don't knock BLACKIE all the time. I am sure that not all blacks fall into that category but the ones that do are giving you all a bad name. There is a lot of comments about the whitey gang. Why couldn't it just be a surfing gang. You blacks are more racists than any white person. If you ever want to be respected as human beings than act like one. If you didn't put color into your postings no one would now what color you are. We are all the same color on paper.

132. I challenge the nearest inner-city gang (real gang) to come in and clean up the beaches of the MLO. Seriously... why should these punks have the nicest hoods to hang out in?!! Come on L.A. gangs.... stake your claim to a beautiful section of beach!!!
Watch out Malibu.... you may just have the real world knockin' at your door soon!!

133. These surfers are nothing but a bunch of rich spoiled asses that think they own the beach and think they are tough guys. They are nothing but drop out dope smoking, beer drinking losers. They don't even know how to surf. I am sure their rich parents are very proud of them seeing that their kids can do no wrong. Sticking MLO's....what a joke they are. Get them off the beach!!!!!

135. Next time, TMZ paps need a camera in one hand, and a tazer in the other. "DUDE - DON'T TAZE ME, BRO!"
