Michael
Jackson,
Julia
Roberts
and
Oprah
Winfrey
are
all
looking
to
buy
homes
in
St.
Michaels,
Maryland,
after
it
was
made
a
"no-fly
zone".
The
US
seaside
town
has
become
a
property
hotspot
for
stars
wanting
to
escape
paparazzi
helicopters
after
Vice
President
Dick
Cheney
imposed
the
ban
when
he
bought
a
house
there
in
2005.
However,
determined
paparazzi
seem
intent
to
ignore
the
ban
after
learning
of
the
area's
possible
star
residents.
Jackson
reportedly
stayed
at
the
town's
luxury
hotel
the
Inn
at
Perry
Cabin
last
week
and
residents
complained
about
a
helicopter
hovering
nearby.
St.
Michael's
store
owner
Rodney
Whitacre
said:
"Maybe
the
helicopter
has
nothing
to
do
with
him,
but
if
he
has
a
house
here,
how
long
before
the
rest
of
the
world
finds
out
and
finds
us?" Local
estate
agent
John
Coile
said:
"Periodically,
we'll
hear
about
a
big
celebrity
like
this
prowling
around.
"Lately,
the
name
that's
been
circulating
is
Oprah.
That's
one
that'll
get
your
attention."
Legendary
guitarist
Eric
Clapton
enjoys
yachting
holidays
in
the
town
and
both
Jackson
and
'Pretty
Woman' star
Roberts
are
said
to
be
looking
at
beachfront
homes.
