1. Conejo Valley -- Southern California
   Considered one of California's best places to live and work, the lushly-landscaped Conejo Valley provides everything from moderately-priced townhomes to some of the state's most elegant estates. The lakes, parks and rolling hills provide a beautiful and serene lifestyle that attracts families and celebrities alike.
2. Northern California -- San Francisco
   Northern California's diverse geography ranges from the sandy beaches of the Pacific coast to the rugged, snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains in the east. The central portion of the region is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most vital agricultural areas in the country. The Sierra Nevada contains Yosemite Valley, famous for its glacially-carved domes, and Sequoia National Park, home to the largest living organisms on Earth, the giant sequoia trees, and the highest point in the contiguous United States, Mount Whitney. The tallest living things on Earth, the ancient redwood trees, dot the coastline, mainly north of San Francisco. Northern California is ... home to the lowest and hottest place in North America, Death Valley. Bristlecone pines located in the White Mountains are the oldest known trees in the world; one has an age of 4,700 years.
3. Central Valley -- California's Central Valley
   California's Central Valley is the most dynamic agricultural region in the world, yet farmers there are under tremendous pressure from new valley residents relocated from the coast and environmentalists to clean up their act. For decades, farmers have been exempted from clean air and clean water standards that apply to other industries. But now, the state says it is going to bring them into compliance. It's the water standards that have the farmers most worried -- farmers spray on the valley floor a third of all the pesticides sold in the nation. If they have to cut back, farmers warn that prices of tomatoes, pistachios and the 300 other crops grown in the valley will be more expensive. NPR's John McChesney reports.
4. Justin Berfield -- Jessica Simpson
   Berfield was born in Los Angeles County, California, the son of Gail and Rick Berfield. He is the younger brother of lesser-known actor Lorne Berfield. Berfield is Jewish.[4] He lives in Calabasas, California in the home previously owned by Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey during the filming of MTV's Newlyweds. Berfield is known for keeping his private life very secret, and staying out of the public's eye.

6. Rebecca Romijn-Stamos -- John Stamos
   Rebecca and Jerry's Tender Goodbye Undercover lovers Rebecca Romijn, 32, and Jerry O'Connell, 30, just couldn't hide their feelings any longer! After a weekend spent cozying up in Calabasa, California - where the actress lives in the former brothel she converted into a home with estranged husband John Staomos, 41 - the couple of two months shared a sullen, early-morning farewell on October 24 at the Los Angeles International Airport. Before Romijn jetted to Vancouver, British Columbia (whre she's shooting Ben Affleck's comedy Man About Town), the dressed-down Crossing Jordan star chauffeured her to the airport for a 6:45 a.m. flight. "He seemed so sad to see her go!" says a witness. "They looked like teenagers in a movie saying goodbye for the summer. They just couldn't stop kissing!" Alas, her cinematic career called, and O'Connell was left waving as Romijn rode the escalator to her gate.
7. Justin Berfield
   Former Malcolm In The Middle star Justin Berfield is suing a Los Angeles construction firm for turning his old home into a mold-infested wreck. The actor, who now lives in pal Jessica Simpson's former home in Calabasas, California, claims he suffered respiratory problems while living in the Studio City home. He is suing Shell Burton Construction over what he says was faulty work the company did on the home, which once belonged to George Clooney. In a lawsuit, obtained by Tmz.com, Berfield alleges he learned his former home was infested with mould when he tried to sell the house. Berfield is suing for negligence, breach of warranty and breach of contract, and is asking for damages in excess of $1 million.
