Fires fail to ruffle Duchovny

David Duchovny and his family braved the wildfires heading for his home in Malibu, California on Sunday and Monday, ignoring pleas to evacuate.

As Olivia Newton-John and Titanic director James Cameron agreed to leave their threatened homes after receiving warnings from firefighters, Duchovny refused to move out.

A spokesman for local firefighters says: "He's safe for now."

Meanwhile, in an ironic twist, actress Suzanne Somers, who lost her home in Malibu fires earlier this year, has been forced to leave her temporary residence due to the new blaze.
