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.

Brittany Murphy is the girl who cried gunshot.
TMZ has learned cops received a frantic 911 call around 2:30 this morning from neighbors complaining about a screaming Brittany Murphy, who was wailing about shots fired outside her Hollywood pad.
When LAPD arrived on the scene, they saw the panicked actress on her balcony, yelling about the alleged gun fire.
No weapon, bullet or body was found -- and after an investigation, the noise was discovered to be coming from a generator, which had been acting up due to the funky L.A. weather last night.
For the cops' sake, let's hope this is the kinda thing that only happens sporadically.

Lil Wayne has just pled guilty to attempted weapon possession in New York.
Wayne was busted on July 22, 2007 in NYC after police pulled over his tour bus because they allegedly smelled pot.
Cops say when an officer approached the bus, Wayne tossed a Louis Vuitton bag with a gun inside.
New York is known for having extremely tough gun laws -- Wayne is expecting to get 1-year behind bars.
Wayne's troubles are far from over.
The rapper still faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona ... after cops found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy, various drug paraphernalia and a handgun on his tour bus during a traffic stop in Yuma County back in 2008.
Wayne pled not guilty to those charges -- his trial is set for March of 2010.

Richard Heene had a well-documented criminal history with a common thread -- going ballistic under pressure.
First of all, we've now found three criminal cases against Balloon Dad. In 1984, Heene was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon -- a gun -- and received three years probation.
In 1991, in San Bernardino, CA., Heene was arrested for corporal injury on a spouse. It appears he was not convicted.
Now get this ... we broke the story yesterday that in 1997 Heene pled no contest to vandalism and spent four days in jail. Wait 'til you hear what happened.
Heene, a contractor at the time, had an employee who didn't get paid. The employee went to Heene's home to get his $300 and an argument ensued.
We're told Heene got physical with the guy inside the house, the employee walked out and Heene gave him $140 of the $300 he owed. The employee, Benito Ortiz, was dissatisfied and the argument continued.
According to the arrest report, Heene got in his pickup truck, backed up and apparently tried to hit the dude. The employee got out of harm's way and Heene struck the employee's VW.
After hitting the VW, Heene pulled forward several feet, then put the vehicle back in reverse and collided again with Ortiz.
But wait, there's more. Heene did it a third time.
Finally, Heene parked, got out of his truck, picked up a wooden beam, held it over his head and screamed at Ortiz, "Get the f**k away."
Heene later told cops .... during the conflict Ortiz struck him, he became "incoherent" and didn't know what happened next.
In addition to four days in jail, Heene was sentenced to house arrest and ordered to pay $100 in restitution.

It's as if Dennis Farina never went to LAX with a gun in his briefcase -- because you will never find a trace of legal action against the actor.
Farina's lawyer, Blair Berk, just convinced a judge to allow the actor to withdraw his no contest plea to the reduced charge of entering an airport sanitary area with a weapon. The judge then expunged the charge from Farina's record, which was otherwise unblemished in his 64 years.
Berk told the judge, "not all mistakes should be prosecuted as crimes." Sometimes, a time out is enough.

The guy who allegedly sold the gun that killed Steve McNair -- a man named Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. (left) -- has been arrested by ATF agents in Nashville, Tenn.
McNair's mistress, Sahel Kazemi, bought the gun on July 2 -- two days before she murdered Steve and then killed herself.
Prosecutors are expected to announce the charges against Gilliam this afternoon.
UPDATE: Gilliam has been charged with illegally possessing a firearm. A big no-no for the convicted felon.
Gilliam was convicted of murder and attempted armed robbery in 1993.

Nashville police now think the gun recovered at the scene of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi's shooting death belonged to Sahel.
Police spokesmen Don Aaron said, "We believe the pistol recovered from the apartment was purchased by Kazemi."
McNair was found shot four times -- twice in the head and twice in the body -- and Kazemi suffered a single gunshot to the head. Cops were told Kazemi and McNair "had been in a dating relationship," even though McNair was married.
The gun in question was found under Kazemi's body -- cops think murder-suicide is a possibility, but nothing official yet.

Britney Spears may think Adnan Ghalib is dangerous -- but he's no longer armed.
According to court documents filed yesterday, Adnan sold his handgun as part of the restraining order Spears has against him.
Ghalib sold a Hi-Point C-9 to a licensed gun dealer back in February.
Last month, a judge ordered Adnan to stay completely clear of Brit for three years.

An "America's Got Talent" contestant chose flight over fight -- narrowly escaping a pack of masked men with guns drawn early Tuesday morning.
According to the Cincinnati PD, Robert Hatcher -- who made it to the final eight on season two of "Talent" -- was leaving Sonny's All Blues Lounge with 4 friends at around 2:30 AM when 3 shady figures popped out of car and tried to rob them.
Sources say Robert and one of his friends were able to escape on foot while another friend fled the scene in a car... but the two friends who were left behind were subsequently forced to the ground and robbed blind.
We're told the three robbers took off with the loot in a red Neon -- but were caught less than thirty minutes later after multiple witnesses gave the CPD a description of the getaway vehicle.
Hatcher eventually stopped running long enough to help his buddies file a police report.

Plaxico Burress just won a delay in his gun case.
Today's hearing was set for pre-trial issues but Burress' lawyer said he needed more time. The judge agreed to push the court date back to June 15.
There have been reports that Plaxico is trying to plea bargain the second-degree gun possession felony charge. If convicted, Plax could get up to 15 years in prison.
Look for a plea bargain ...

It must be celebrity gun day in NYC court today -- Ja Rule just strutted into court, minutes after Plaxico Burress walked in -- and both are there on weapons charges.
