UP THE PCH:
Malibu
Like Quasimodo in Notre Dame, Malibu is where celebs cry sanctuary. The chi-chi beachside community is on the city’s north coast, and although it’s not far up Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica, the ‘bu feels far removed from the general population, which is why so many celebs live here. Start at Malibu Country Mart, and don’t let the word "country" trick you into visions of livestock and grain feed. This shopping center features upscale shops like Juicy Couture, Planet Blue and Japanese eatery Nobu, frequented by celebs like Pink and Matthew McConaughey, the de facto mayor of this surf haven hamlet. After shopping (or window shopping), head to Carbon or Broad Beach. Be sure not to trespass on your way in -- beach front residents include Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks and Sting, and thus there are strict rules about where visitors (i.e. commoners) can enter. Post-beach, hit up Moonshadows, the bar and restaurant where Mel Gibson got sauced before getting his DUI. Dress is beach casual -- but not too casual. Don’t forget your hat and sunglasses, which are less for the sun and more to make your ogling less blatant.
