MAY 30--Claiming an invasion of her privacy, Barbra Streisand is suing a California man for disseminating aerial pictures of her Malibu home. In a May 20 lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Streisand seeks an order barring photographer Kenneth Adelman from continuing to distribute images of her swanky spread. Adelman operates the California Coastal Records Project, which specializes in aerial photographs of the California coast, images intended for use by scientists and researchers. Streisand's lawsuit contends that the photos (a cropped version of one image is below) provide a "road map into her residence" and "clearly identify those routes that could be used to enter her property." Though Streisand filed her complaint under seal, you'll find it beginning on page two of this TSG story. We're not sure how an intrusion would be accomplished, but you never can discount the craftiness of rock climbers, hang glider pilots, and parachutists. (12 pages)
