Rob Lowe Beats Cali Fires

Brothers & Sisters star Rob Lowe narrowly escaped the wildfire raging near his Santa Barbara, Calif., home. "It was just like Armageddon," the actor told KABC-TV. Lowe, 44, and his wife, Sheryl, live with their two sons in Montecito, where Michael Douglas and Oprah Winfrey also have homes. "I put the kids in the car," he told the TV station, "turned out of the driveway and the entire mountain was on fire with flames shooting 200 feet in the air. There was literally no warning. It came out of nowhere." Lowe's home wasn't damaged, nor were Douglas's or Winfrey's. (Photo: WENN)
