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, according to TMZ.com. 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. 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

No ‘NSYNC Reunion

'NSYNC

‘NSync fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a band reunion, singer Chris Kirkpatrick says. “Everybody’s going in their own direction,” the singer, who is now performing with the band Nigels 11, tells Usmagazine.com. “I don’t know if this the perfect time for us to say ‘let’s do a record or tour.’ You should go to a fortune teller and ask her. I can’t tell.” Kirkpatrick, who says he keeps in touch with all four of his band mates — Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake — insists there is no bad blood between the group, who announced a “temporary hiatus” in 2002.

“We all have a place in the band,” he tells Us. “All the guys are doing their thing. But Justin’s [specific rise to] fame didn’t shock me. I would love to be touring arenas like he does, but there’s no resentment. He’s amazing at what he does.” Fatone and Bass will join Kirkpatrick as he hosts a series of Halloween-themed events later this month to benefit The Chris Kirkpatrick Foundation, formed by the singer to raise funds for healthcare and education programs to benefit underprivileged children.
