Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Knill ordered the retired Pimco co-founder to show up in court July 28 for a contempt hearing, after his Laguna Beach neighbor Mark Towfiq complained Gross had violated her order to keep the music down. Gross and Towfiq, a millionaire, both have trophy homes on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. But they have feuded since Towfiq complained about netting over a million-dollar piece of art in Gross’ yard. Towfiq said Gross responded by blaring TV sitcom themes, including the one for “Gilligan’s Island,” at all hours of the day.
