Ricki Lake navigates police checkpoint during Malibu wildfire in desperate attempt to reach home


Ricki Lake was seen making her way through a police checkpoint on Wednesday, desperately trying to reach her Malibu home as the Franklin wildfire continued to ravage the coastal town.

The surprising red-carpet appearances came just a day after Jay-Z was accused in a lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl in the company of disgraced rap mogul Diddy at a party after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
