Celebrity Escape Homes

In this paparazzi age, celebrities aren't even close to safe when they leave Hollywood for vacations. Anyone with an Internet connection or anyone who has waited on a supermarket checkout line is bombarded with images of stars romping in the waves on tropical shores, with captions judging their levels of fitness...or lack thereof.

Once in a while there is an actual noteworthy event to mention, other than "so and so tried to enjoy a beach vacation with his loved ones while photographers took grainy photos with long lenses." When one prominent figure's private island retreat recently made international headlines, it was time to take a closer look at these getaways with a good old-fashioned celebrity real-estate slideshow.

Hollywood types like to vacation in Malibu, but the following homes are located all over the place-the Caribbean, ski destinations, the downeast coast of Maine, and upstate New York. Oh, and some of them are, in fact, in Malibu.
