I wouldn't mind if they are side stories within a larger story, but when they make an entire story out of the celebrity, or "duh" dribble, then that's when I have the issue.
Examples:
Fire affects TV shows, celebrities
Some actors can't make make it to work.
Smoke poses serious health risk
And the fire is safe?

Because it only affects the local people?
A third of a million people left out of thier homes, and they don't report on the whos, and wheres, and contact information for the friends and relatives.

I don't presume to speak for Larry, but I do have observations from many trips to Orange County. Anything that is not in an urban or densely populated area seems to be in a fire risk area.
All you need is a yard.
