Fox, Green Allegedly Hit by Burglar Bunch
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are used to being hit on -- not hit. But that's exactly what happened to them, courtesy of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch -- allegedly.
Law enforcement sources tell us Green's Hollywood Hills home was burglarized during the string of celeb break-ins. Various items were taken, including Green's recreational gun, which was locked up.
As for Fox, who spends a lot of time at Green's, all the Burglar Bunch allegedly took were clothes -- including several of Megan's signature t-shirts.
We're told Green, who has been shooting a movie in NYC, didn't even know he was hit. Sources say cops retrieved the stolen goods and returned them to him last week.
As we have been reporting, TMZ has obtained photos, emails and other data from a computer that the gang allegedly stole from an L.A. businessman. One of the photos on the hard drive -- the photo of Megan Fox we're using for this post.

Dodgers to McCourt Judge -- Please Butt Out!
The Los Angeles Dodgers have gone on record in the "War of the Roses" divorce between Frank and Jamie McCourt, claiming the family court should butt out of Dodger business. And, for good measure, the Dodgers claim Jamie was fired for allegedly having an affair with a subordinate ... and the team goes into detail.
In legal papers filed with the family law judge, the Dodgers organization is asking to be heard as a friend of the court, opposing Jamie's bid to be reinstated as CEO of the operation.
The Dodgers organization claims, "Simply stated, this Court has no jurisdiction to order the Dodgers to do anything because it is a non-party to these proceedings."
According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Dodgers claim Jamie "has been paid her $2,000,000 a year salary in full through December 31, 2009. She was an at-will employee. The marital dissolution should not be used to interfere with the lawful control and management of the Dodgers."
And get this ... the legal papers state, "Given the dysfunction which was caused by the Petitioner's prior employment, her inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee and the clear acrimonious relationship between her and Mr. Court (sic), if she were reinstated by order of this Court it would no doubt lead to this Court being called upon to oversee the day to day management of the Dodgers."
The Dodgers allege Jamie was fired "for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee, Mr. Jeff Fuller, her self-described '24 hour driver' and '24 hour security.'"
The Dodgers grouse that Jamie wants the Dodgers to reinstate her as well as Fuller -- "Translation: She wants the Dodgers to pay her live in boyfriend for his companionship" while working for the organization.
MJ and Klein -- Affection for Injections
UPDATE: A closer look at the documents reveals another shocking fact -- in April, Jackson received ELEVEN "I.M. Injections" in 3 days.
Arnold Klein injected Michael Jackson with an intra-muscular drug labeled "I.M. Injection" 51 times in three months, this according to documents filed by Arnold Klein himself.
And one prominent L.A. dermatologist says "I.M. Injection" is commonly used as billing code for the narcotic Demerol.
In the documents, most of the procedures appear to be minor, such as acne treatments, lip treatments and Botox -- yet "I.M. Injection" appears over and over on Michael's bill, sometimes several times a day. The I.M. Injections correspond to the dates of the minor treatments.
In one particular case, Jackson went to Klein on April 23rd and received three "I.M. Injections" at $60 a pop.
Then, remarkably two days later -- on a Saturday -- Jackson went to Klein's office and got 4 more I.M. Injections to facilitate an injection of the smallest possible dose of Restylane -- a popular wrinkle-filler.
According to the docs, Arnie Klein -- Jackson's self-described good friend -- charged Jackson $7500 for the weekend visit.
Jackson's three month bill: $48,522.89.

Sheriff Investigated Over Balloon Boy Comments
The tell-it-like-it-is Sheriff who first labeled the Balloon Boy incident a "hoax" will be investigated by the local D.A. -- for allegedly telling a little too much about the Heene family.
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden is on the hot seat after recently announcing that the county's Child Protective Services team had been asked to investigate Richard and Mayumi Heene in the wake of the hoax.
Heene's attorney claims Alderden broke a Colorado law, which bars officials from discussing information about a family investigation publicly.
So far, no comment from the Sheriff.

Michael Madsen Go Big or Go Homeless
Being broke usually means it's time to make sacrifices, but not for Michael Madsen -- dude declared bankruptcy, then allegedly racked up $80,000 in unpaid rent on a mansion ... and now faces eviction.
According to docs filed last Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the owner of Michael's luxury Malibu home claims the "Kill Bill" actor skipped out on his $20,000/month rent four months in a row ... and now owes $80,000.
If he doesn't pay up, Michael could be homeless -- according to the docs, the owner intends to evict him if the debt isn't covered.
It's unclear how Michael planned to pay his rent since he filed docs for bankruptcy back in June, which say his net monthly income was $-3,392.

D.A. to Dr. Murray -- Don't Blame Michael
Dr. Conrad Murray is blaming Michael Jackson and the fledgling economy on his inability to pay child support -- but the District Attorney of Clark County, Nevada ain't buying it.
In a response filed today to Dr. Murray's objection, the D.A. shot down Murray's claims -- saying, "Dr. Murray's inadequate child support payment history began before the events of June 25, 2009 [the day Michael Jackson died] and Dr. Murray has shown a pattern of failing to abide by child support orders."
Dr. Murray is due back in court on November 16, and the D.A. wants Murray to make a full disclosure of his finances before then.

Then there's this: Jamie lists her monthly living expenses at $488,928 -- THAT'S PER MONTH!!!!!!!!

In the documents, Jamie claims the McCourt estate is valued in excess of $1 BILLION.

Balloon Dad Forced Cigar on Infant Son
Ten years before the Balloon Boy hoax, Richard Heene pulled an equally unfunny stunt -- only this time his kid really was in danger.
We've obtained footage of Richard Heene from 10 years ago -- trying to shove a cigar into his then infant son Bradford's mouth -- while posing him with an empty bottle of beer ... and it's all for the cameras.
At one point Mayumi can be heard telling him "No" -- but Richard doesn't stop ... seemingly obsessed with getting what he thinks is the perfect shot.
P.S. -- We apologize in advance for Richard's incredibly grating, beyond annoying baby talk.

ESPN Benches Bob Griese for 'Taco' Crack
Can anyone at ESPN keep a job? The network suspended Bob Griese today for a racist remark he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
While he was calling Saturday's Minnesota-Ohio State game, Griese made a crack about Montoya saying he was "out having a taco." Montoya is Colombian.

Yesterday ESPN fired baseball analyst Steve Phillips after news broke of his sex scandal with a production assistant.

But a rep from Sony -- co-producers of the flick -- tells TMZ, "This story is pure garbage and there are no body doubles.
Audiences will begin to see the film tomorrow and every time they see The King of Pop they will know that every frame is unquestionably Michael as he rehearses and prepares for the London concerts that were to have begun this past summer."

Dr. Rey's Place -- On the Burglar Bunch's Hit List
The L.A. home of Dr. 90210 -- aka Dr. Rey -- was also pinpointed on the computer seized from suspect Nick Prugo ... but lucky for the good doc, his place was never pilfered.
The yellow thumbtack graphic seen piercing the roof of Dr. Rey's L.A. pad was placed there by someone using the computer -- and judging by the thumbtack that marked burglary victim Orlando Bloom's house ... Dr. Rey may have gotten lucky.
Granted, Dr. Rey is a self-proclaimed black belt ... so his mad skills for whoopin' ass could have scared any potential burglars away.
Rey's wife tells us: "My body is shaking all over. It's so scary! Thank goodness they were caught ... I will have to add extra locks to our doors ... It's very scary that it is so easy to find where people live online."
