Home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt was ransacked by burglars, police say
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police are investigating a break-in at a home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt, who has been on a globe-spanning promo tour for his new movie, 'F1.'
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they responded to a break-in Wednesday night at a house on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Three suspects broke into the residence through the front window, ransacked the home and fled with miscellaneous property, said Officer Drake Madison.
Madison said he could not identify who owned or lived in the home, and no information is currently available on what was stolen.
Pitt reportedly bought the home for $5.5 million in April 2023, according to Traded, a commercial real estate website.
A Pitt representative declined comment.
Pitt has been out of the country on a promotional tour for the 'F1' movie. He attended the international premiere in London on Monday. The movie will be in U.S. theaters Friday.
The burglary was first reported Thursday by NBC News.

6 Americans detained in South Korea for trying to send rice and Bibles to North Korea by sea
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Six Americans were detained Friday in South Korea for trying to send 1,600 plastic bottles filled with rice, miniature Bibles, $1 bills and USB sticks toward North Korea by sea, police said. The Americans were apprehended on front-line Gwanghwa Island before throwing the bottles into the sea so they could float toward North Korean shores on the tides, two Gwanghwa police officers said. They said the Americans are being investigated on allegations they violated the law on the management of safety and disasters.

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.

6 Americans detained for trying to send rice and Bibles to North Korea by sea, police say
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Six Americans were detained Friday in South Korea for trying to send 1,600 plastic bottles filled with rice, U.S. dollars bills and Bibles toward North Korea by sea, police said. The Americans tried to throw the bottles into the sea from front-line Gwanghwa Island so they could float toward North Korean shores by the tides, said a police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to media on the issue. He said they are being investigated on allegations they violated the law on the management of safety and disasters.
