BREAKING NEWS Angelina Jolie's neighborhood sees trespasser… after ex Brad Pitt had home broken into
On Sunday law enforcement detained an individual who entered the Los Feliz enclave by slipping through a gate.
The unwelcome visitor had made it onto the street where Kristen Bell and husband Dax Shepard live when police caught up with him, according to TMZ.
It was noted that the actress and actor were not home at the time.
Insiders said that both security and residents called the police on the 'known' suspect, who tried to make a run for it before he was arrested.
Footage shared on the public safety app Citizen showed officers on the scene, with the male trespasser briefly seen.
The accused person reportedly did not break into any of the neighborhood's mansions, one of which belongs to actress Brie Larson.
It comes shortly after Jolie's ex-husband Brad Pitt's home was broken into while he was in Tokyo.
His neighbors have suggested security at the mansion may have been compromised in the days leading up to the dramatic break-in.
They claim they had not seen an unmarked private patrol car normally stationed right outside the actor's driveway for several days before the raid.
Pitt's home in Los Feliz was ransacked during a late-night burglary on June 25 while the 61-year-old star was overseas promoting his new film, F1: The Movie.
It was the latest in a string of burglaries plaguing upscale neighborhoods across LA and Southern California, where celebrities have increasingly been hit.
Locals told the Daily Mail the 24-hour security car had been a constant presence since Pitt bought the 2,100 sq ft home from an oil heiress in March 2023 — just a ten-minute walk from ex-wife Angelina 's $25 million estate.

But in the days before the break-in, the neighbor said they could not see the vehicle — or the guard inside it — leading them to speculate about laxer security measures.
'Ever since Mr Pitt moved in two years ago there was always a security car in the street, day and night,' said one neighbor, whose home overlooks Pitt's. 'It suddenly disappeared a few days before the burglary but we have no idea why.'
By June 30, the regular security detail had returned, with a male guard seen sitting in a small black car outside the property — though he declined to speak to the Daily Mail.
It appeared security had been bolstered, with a second vehicle, a black Prius, also parked at the top of Pitt's steep driveway.
Earlier that day, neighbors spotted workmen from a glass installation company arriving at the house, believed to be replacing a window smashed by the intruders during the break-in.

Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, justice department and FBI review confirms
A review of files held by the US government on the financier Jeffrey Epstein has said there is no secret client list to be released, and confirmed his August 2019 death by suicide while in federal custody, both of which contradict conspiracy theories. A memo said that a Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) review of the files – which has for years been teased as a treasure trove of information about a larger network of wrongdoing – concluded that no further charges are expected, as investigators 'did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties'. The justice department also released hours of footage taken from Manhattan's metropolitan correctional center, showing that no one entered or left the area where Epstein was held during, before or after the time medical examiners concluded he took his life. 'As part of our commitment to transparency, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted an exhaustive review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein,' the DOJ said. It added that the review included 'digital searches of its databases, hard drives, and network drives as well as physical searches of squad areas, locked cabinets, desks, closets, and other areas where responsive material may have been stored'. The department said it had uncovered 'a significant amount of material', including more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence that included 'a large volume of images of Epstein, images and videos of victims who are either minors or appear to be minors, and over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography'. 'Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child pornography,' the memo said. Nor, the statement continued, did the review uncover an incriminating 'client list' or find credible evidence that Epstein was involved in blackmailing prominent individuals. No further charges are expected in connection with the investigations into Epstein, the memo said, as investigators 'did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties'. The attorney general, Pam Bondi, had previously promised the public release of scores of records related to Epstein, but an earlier release of documents did nothing to advance the conspiracy narratives that have emerged since his death. Soon after the memo was made public by Axios, and later by the independent journalist Jessica Reed Kraus on Substack, Elon Musk voiced his disappointment, posting an image to the social platform X of 'The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,' set to '0000'. 'What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again,' Musk captioned the photo. The billionaire CEO of Tesla, who is feuding with Donald Trump after his work to gut federal government spending through the 'department of government efficiency' (Doge) seemed to run counter to Trump's recent bill that will massively increase the deficit, has previously intimated that Epstein file releases promised by the justice department had been stalled because Trump himself was implicated. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,' he wrote. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.' Trump dismissed Musk's claims to NBC News: 'That's called 'old news.' That's been old news. That has been talked about for years. Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it – it's old news,' he said. The justice department also said its review of the files was consistent with prior disclosures on the case and its review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. 'Each suffered unique trauma. Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history. 'One of our highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends.'

Anna Kendrick's secret romance with Emmy and Tony Award winner revealed after traumatic abusive relationship
has reportedly been secretly dating comedian Alex Edelman for 'several months.' The Oscar-nominated actress - turning the big 4-0 next month - has even 'met his mother' Cheryl, a real estate lawyer, and they 'celebrated his 36th birthday together in March.' 'It doesn't seem casual,' a source noted to People on Monday. 'Anna's very private, though. They enjoy date night at low-key restaurants that are not your typical celeb hang-outs.' DeuxMoi posted the first pictures of the coy couple in a car together in LA on Monday with Alex in the driver's seat and Anna seated shotgun. And while Kendrick has been nominated for an Emmy and Tony, Edelman actually won both coveted trophies last year for his Broadway hit-turned-Max special, Just for Us. On March 2, the Boston-born funnyman made headlines for chivalrously lending newly-separated Jessica Alba his coat to keep her warm outside the Vanity Fair Oscars party, but she quickly shot down any romance rumors. Alex is said to have previously embarked on an on/off relationship with Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan. The Maine native previously dated her Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright, her End of Watch onscreen leading man Jake Gyllenhaal, and her Noelle onscreen brother Bill Hader. But it was Anna's seven-year relationship with her Drinking Buddies cinematographer Ben Richardson, which ended in 2020, that was rumored to have been psychologically abusive. Without naming names, Kendrick recalled her 'awful' gaslighting ex-boyfriend, whom she had considered her 'husband' for 'all intents and purposes' 'I didn't expect how totally convinced he was of his own victimhood. I think he genuinely believed that I was, like, torturing him,' the Another Simple Favor actress recalled to Call Her Daddy on October 23. 'I was just crying, because I couldn't pretend that things were fine anymore. I just started crying and he screamed in my face, "You're terrorizing me!" But it was truly from the place of a person who believed that they were being terrorized.' Anna continued: 'It was very, very difficult to actually go, "No, this, I think this is, I think this is him. I think, I think this is his stuff." I turned my life completely upside down trying to fix whatever was wrong with me.' Kendrick vowed to never get involved with another man - 'meaning we're not even kissing, we're not even going to have a real conversation - unless you are in or have been in therapy.' The Another Simple Favor actress vowed to never get involved with another man - 'meaning we're not even kissing, we're not even going to have a real conversation - unless you are in or have been in therapy' Edelman is next scheduled to perform standup comedy at Zanies Comedy Club in Nashville, TN on July 25-26. The Unfrosted actor also co-wrote and co-stars in Greg Daniels and Michael Koman's 13-episode newspaper mockumentary The Paper, which premieres September 18 on Peacock. The Office follow-up series will also feature Domhnall Gleeson, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, and Oscar Nuñez. The Pitch Perfect alum reprised her 2012 voiceover role as Courtney Babcock in Laika's CG-animated short ParaNorman: The Thrifting, which will accompany the newly-remastered 3D original film for a one-week theatrical engagement this Halloween.

Families confirm five people died in blast at California fireworks warehouse
Family members are still searching for answers following last week's explosion at a fireworks warehouse in northern California. Authorities confirmed on Sunday that the remains of the seven people missing in the blast have been recovered. Family and community members have confirmed five of the victims as Jesus Ramos, Jhony Ramos, Joel 'Junior' Melendez, Angel Voller and Carlos Rodriguez. Two victims are still unidentified. A GoFundMe page has been set up for brothers Jhony and Jesus Ramos. Jesus, the younger of the pair, was a soon-to-be father whose first day on the job coincided with the deadly explosion. 'He was excited to be a dad. Only two months and we were just waiting for this, a new opportunity, a new chapter. He saw it as a new chapter in our life,' Syanna Ruiz, Jesus Ramos' girlfriend, told ABC10, Sacramento's ABC affiliate. 'He was excited.' Joel Melendez's mother told the same outlet that she remains without answers surrounding the explosion that claimed the life of her 28-year-old son, who was a father of one with another baby on the way. 'He's my baby,' Lupe Melendez Mendoza told ABC10. 'And I don't know, I'm not getting answers. I don't know where he's at. I don't know what happened. I just know that he loves his wife.' All human remains have been recovered from the charred warehouse site, but the identities of the deceased were being withheld pending family notifications. Two people were treated for injuries following the blast in the town of Esparto, Yolo county officials said in a statement Sunday. The warehouse was managed by Devastating Pyrotechnics, which has more than 30 years of experience designing and producing fireworks shows, according to a screenshot of its website before it was taken down. 'Our hearts and thoughts are with those we lost, their families, and everyone impacted in our community,' the company said in a statement last week. 'Our focus will remain on those directly impacted by this tragedy, and we will cooperate fully with the proper authorities in their investigation.' The wildfire covered nearly 80 acres (33 hectares) and scorched surrounding agricultural fields, officials said.
