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?
