PRIVACY....Kenneth Adelman is a millionaire environmental activist who takes pictures of the California coast from a helicopter. His pictures are frequently used to document illegal activity, and a few years ago he embarked on a mission to photograph the entire coast in order to have a permanent record of what the shoreline looks like today in case it's needed in a court case later.

Of the 12,000 pictures he has taken, one is of Barbra Streisand's house, which is on the coast in Malibu. So she's suing him for invasion of privacy.

Result: the picture of her house is printed in the LA Times and seen by about a million people. I'm sure it will be on the local news tonight as well. And it's making life more difficult for a guy dedicated to environmental goodness.

Smart strategy, Barbra, smart....
