Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's home burglarized amid South American spree
Actress Nicole Kidman and musician Keith Urban's Los Angeles residence was burglarized on Valentine's Day, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
Authorities reported that the break-in involved forced entry, with burglars ransacking the home and breaking glass, though it is not yet known whether any property was stolen.
Representatives for Kidman and Urban did not immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday night. The incident occurred around the same time that Beverly Hills police arrested three individuals allegedly connected to burglaries linked to South American crews. The arrests followed a vehicle pursuit and crash near Rodeo Drive, a prominent shopping area in the city.
In a related investigation, the Beverly Hills Police Department revealed that in January, five suspects were arrested in connection with a series of burglaries spanning multiple California locations. The investigations covered incidents in Glendale, San Marino, Los Angeles, Burbank, Pleasanton, Bakersfield, Ventura County, Orange County, and San Mateo County. Authorities have not confirmed any connection between these arrests and the South American crews' activities, although jail records indicate that at least one suspect is Colombian.
The burglary at Kidman and Urban's home adds to a spate of high-profile break-ins targeting celebrity residences. On Feb. 5, the Southern California home of Los Angeles Football Club forward Olivier Giroud was burglarized, with police reporting that a significant amount of jewelry and valuables was taken. Additionally, residences belonging to NFL and NBA stars, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and NBA player Luka Dončić, have been targeted in recent months, prompting law enforcement agencies to issue warnings.
Investigators are continuing their work to determine whether the incidents are part of a larger trend of high-end home burglaries. Authorities urge local residents to remain vigilant as investigations continue to uncover links to organized crime.

Shawn Kemp shooting: Former NBA All-Star pleads guilty, sentencing set for August
Former NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree assault in a 2023 shooting incident outside Tacoma Mall, Washington, avoiding trial as part of a plea agreement. Kemp, 55, entered the plea in Pierce County Superior Court following a March 2023 altercation where he shot at two men in a Toyota 4Runner during a dispute involving stolen property. No one was injured, though both vehicles were damaged. Originally charged with first-degree assault with a firearm enhancement, Kemp faced additional counts of assault and drive-by shooting before reaching the deal. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of nine months in jail, one year of post-release supervision, and restitution. According to court filings, the incident began when Kemp's truck was broken into during a Seattle event. Items stolen included keys to his cannabis dispensary, a cellphone, and sports memorabilia. A phone tracking app led him to confront the suspects near a casino and later at Tacoma Mall, where an exchange of gunfire reportedly occurred. Documents say a man in the back of the 4Runner fired first, prompting Kemp to return fire in an attempt to disable the vehicle. The 4Runner fled and was later found abandoned. Police recovered an empty holster but no firearm. Though one witness reported both parties were armed, the prosecution cited credibility issues with witnesses and the illegal possession of Kemp's property by the suspects as factors in resolving the case outside court. As part of the plea, Kemp must forfeit his right to own firearms and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement. Kemp, a six-time NBA All-Star, spent most of his career with the Seattle SuperSonics before stints in Cleveland, Portland and Orlando. He declined to comment Tuesday. His attorney, Tim Leary, stated Kemp accepted the deal to take responsibility while highlighting the self-defense nature of the incident. Sentencing is scheduled for August.

Pacers fan allegedly stabs Knicks supporter during Game 2 at Indiana brewery
A violent altercation between NBA fans escalated into a stabbing during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. According to local reports, 24-year-old Pacers fan Jarrett Funke allegedly stabbed a Knicks supporter at Danny Boy Beer Works, a brewery in Carmel, Indiana, on Friday night. The incident began when Funke reportedly knocked a Knicks hat off one of the victims and verbally threatened the group. According to Fox 59 and News 8, he was removed from the brewery by his father but returned and allegedly stabbed a man in the back. That victim suffered a minor lung tear and a broken rib. Another man was injured after falling and suffering a leg laceration. Witnesses said Funke 'stormed through the fence' to attack the Knicks fans, one of whom briefly showed a pocketknife to deter him but did not use it. The confrontation left both victims 'bleeding profusely,' per reports. Funke claimed the Knicks supporters initiated the incident by insulting and assaulting him. However, police identified him as the 'primary aggressor.' He has been charged with battery by means of a deadly weapon, battery causing serious bodily injury (both Level 5 felonies), and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon (a Level 6 felony). Funke is currently being held at Hamilton County Jail with no bond, and a court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. This violent encounter has overshadowed the Knicks-Pacers playoff series, as the Knicks look to even the score in Game 4 on Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
