A Los Angeles house an official said was burglarized Wednesday evening is owned by Brad Pitt, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department said a break-in occurred at a house in the Los Feliz neighborhood, in response to a CNN inquiry, but did not name the victim.
Pitt's representative declined to comment to CNN.
Three people entered the house through the front window at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, rifled through belongings and fled with an unknown amount of property, LAPD Officer Drake Madison said. No suspects are in custody and there is no further information available, he added.

MINNEAPOLIS — Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman will lie in state in the Minnesota Capitol rotunda on Friday while the man charged with killing her and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife, is due in court. Hortman, a Democrat , will be the first woman and one of fewer than 20 Minnesotans accorded the honor. She will lie in state with her husband, Mark, and their golden retriever, Gilbert. Her husband was also killed in the June 14 attack, and Gilbert was seriously wounded and had to be euthanized.

Music Review: Lorde enters 'Virgin' territory on her liberated, physical pop album
NEW YORK (AP) — Fans of the New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde have long commended the artist for her visceral pop craft. Her music, to certain ears, sounds like freedom. On her new album, it is as though Lorde is able to hear it, too. On 'Virgin,' the singer born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor's fourth studio album and first in four years, pop hits are devoid of any anxious filtering. She is raw. When Lorde first emerged as a gothic popstar — with 'Royals,' and its critique of celebrity culture and hyper consumerism — she did so with prescience. Her sparse production style and cursive-singing had come from the future, and its influence would be felt for many years to follow. Her debut, 2013's 'Pure Heroine,' suggested that she possessed something her contemporaries did not; the synesthesia synth-pop 'Melodrama' in 2017 all but confirmed her greatness. She took a step back from all that for the sleepy sunshine of 2021's 'Solar Power,' and then took another — veering away from the spotlight all together. It seemed that this outsider dynamo had distanced herself from fame in an attempt to centralize artmaking once again. (Later, as it was revealed in a 'Rolling Stone' cover story, she was mourning the longest romantic relationship of her life, making up the bulk of her twenties, and that she was overcoming an eating disorder and anxiety through MDMA and psilocybin therapy.) 'Virgin' was born after that period of reflection. Musically, 'Virgin' threads the needle from 'Melodrama' to the current moment. The lead single, the synthpop 'What Was That,' is a reserved derivation of her previous work but no doubt a banger; on the syncopated rhythms of 'Hammer,' she's matured her racecar-fast pop. There's a new malleability here. She sings, 'Some days I'm a woman / Some days I'm a man.' An album standout, the metamorphic 'Shapeshifter,' possesses a tension between organic and electronic sounds that continue onto 'Man of the Year,' with its bass and cello contributions from frequent collaborator Dev Hynes. Credit is due to her new production partners Jim-E Stack (Bon Iver,Danielle Haim) and Daniel Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo,Chappell Roan). Thematically, Lorde's never been more fluid and feral than on 'Virgin,' in her descriptions of gender experience ('Favourite Daughter') and sexual autonomy ('Current Affairs,' with lyrics that might scandalize fans not expecting messy eroticism. 'You tasted my underwear,' she sings, partnered with a sample of the dancehall record 'Morning Love' by Dexta Daps.) For a singer who has always performed physical pop songs, 'Virgin' is her most bodily work to date as well. Take, for example, the shortest song on the record, the vocoder-affected a cappella performance of 'Clearblue' — a play on the popular pregnancy test brand, and not the only place where motherhood appears on the album. (Fertility is another theme; the album cover features an X-ray of Lorde's pelvis while wearing jeans; in it, an intrauterine device is visible.) This is a new Lorde — a more self-assured artist, warts and all — but one that recognizes and evolves her sonic signatures. Now, like in the early days of her career, 'Virgin' is both avant-garde and pop radio ready, a confluence of unlike features that mirror its messaging. Only now, she sounds unshackled.

Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman to lie in state as suspect faces court date
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman will lie in state in the Minnesota Capitol rotunda on Friday while the man charged with killing her and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife, is due in court. Hortman, a Democrat, will be the first woman and one of fewer than 20 Minnesotans accorded the honor. She will lie in state with her husband, Mark, and their golden retriever, Gilbert. Her husband was also killed in the June 14 attack, and Gilbert was seriously wounded and had to be euthanized. The public can pay their respects from noon to 5 p.m. Friday. House TV will livestream the viewing. A private funeral is set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The service will be livestreamed on the Department of Public Safety's YouTube channel. The criminal case proceeds The man accused of killing the Hortmans and wounding another Democratic lawmaker and his wife is due in court at 11 a.m. Friday to face charges for what the chief federal prosecutor for Minnesota has called 'a political assassination.' Vance Boelter, 57, of Green Isle, surrendered near his home the night of June 15 after what authorities have called the largest search in Minnesota history. The hearing, before Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko, is expected to address whether Boelter should remain in custody without bail and affirm that there is probable cause to proceed. He is not expected to enter a plea. Prosecutors need to secure a grand jury indictment before he's arraigned later, which is when a plea is normally entered. According to the federal complaint, police video shows Boelter outside the Hortmans' home and captures the sound of gunfire. And it says security video shows Boelter approaching the front doors of two other lawmakers' homes dressed as a police officer. His lawyers have declined to comment on the charges, which could carry the federal death penalty. The acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Joseph Thompson, said last week that no decision has been made. Minnesota abolished its death penalty in 1911. The Death Penalty Information Center says a federal death penalty case hasn't been prosecuted in Minnesota in the modern era, as best as it can tell. Boelter also faces separate murder and attempted murder charges in state court that could carry life without parole, assuming that county prosecutors get their own indictment for first-degree murder. But federal authorities intend to use their power to try Boelter first. Other victims and alleged targets Authorities say Boelter shot and wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, at their home in Champlin before shooting and killing the Hortmans in their home in the northern Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park, a few miles away. Federal prosecutors allege Boelter also stopped at the homes of two other Democratic lawmakers. Prosecutors also say he listed dozens of other Democrats as potential targets, including officials in other states. Friends described Boelter as an evangelical Christian with politically conservative views. But prosecutors have declined so far to speculate on a motive. Boelter's wife speaks out Boelter's wife, Jenny, issued a statement through her own lawyers Thursday saying she and her children are 'absolutely shocked, heartbroken and completely blindsided,' and expressing sympathy for the Hortman and Hoffman families. She is not in custody and has not been charged. 'This violence does not align at all with our beliefs as a family,' her statement said. 'It is a betrayal of everything we hold true as tenets of our Christian faith. We are appalled and horrified by what occurred and our hearts are incredibly heavy for the victims of this unfathomable tragedy.' An FBI agent's affidavit described the Boelters as 'preppers,' people who prepare for major or catastrophic incidents. Investigators seized 48 guns from his home, according to search warrant documents. While the FBI agent's affidavit said law enforcement stopped Boelter's wife as she traveled with her four children north of the Twin Cities in Onamia on the day of the shootings, she said in her statement that she was not pulled over. She said that after she got a call from authorities, she immediately drove to meet them at a nearby gas station and has fully cooperated with investigators. 'We thank law enforcement for apprehending Vance and protecting others from further harm,' she said.
