well i can imagine some ppl not liking it. Its right next to a very exclusive residence area that has some world renowned Golf Courses (uve probably heard of Pebble Beach) in it. I can imagine that theres not very much to do though, it really is the sort of town that rich people retire in. Monterey was the same, had a good reputation and all, but it was kinda shitty tbh. Glad we only stayed there a couple of nights.

Except this guy (who is still in the parliament) there was also another from the first edition of Big Brother. His name was Sebastian Florek and he was a representative in years 2001-2005 (then he was a candidate for the European Parliament, but he didn't succeed.

Also this guy above mentioned former football player and director, there is also former coach of Polish national football team.

Maybe you should look at the list of representatives of the EP. I can mention one guy, who was quite known rally driver (dunno if I can call him a celebrity):

Sonny Bono
Al Franken

Since Arnie and Jesse Ventura have been mentioned I give you Sonny Landham, also of Predator fame. He tried to be elected to the US senate as a Libertarian but got thrown off the ticket for being too crazy. When someone is too crazy for the Libertarian party you know they are fucking certifiable.
