Taye Diggs - The Brinks salesman can skip the sales pitch at Taye Diggs' house. The Private Practice star discovered a burglar in his garage on Sunday night, but Diggs didn't wait for back-up from the police to take the intruder down. "The suspect tried to run away, but Diggs chased him down the street and was able to detain him until police arrived," the LAPD revealed. Hot, talented and a hero? His wife, Idina Menzel, is one lucky chick! (Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images)

LL Cool J - Mama said knock you out…and LL listened. The rapper and actor "subdued" an intruder in his Los Angeles home last year, later telling Oprah that he was glad he was home at the time of the incident. "This isn't one of those beat your chest moments," he said humbly. "It was a house full of women…there's no telling what could have happened." And that's why ladies love Cool J.

Celine Dion - This French-Canadian singer is accustomed to a life of luxury, so can you really blame the poor guy who just wanted a small piece of it? Daniel Bedard, 36, broke into Dion's Montreal home in 2011, indulged in some pastries and was about to step into a warm bath when police showed up and spoiled his party. Bedard was charged with breaking and entering.  (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Tyler Perry on Orlando Jones saying he was being given the role of Madea:  - "That was an April Fool's joke that HE did. Not true, and not funny. When I'm done with Madea, she's done."  (Photo:  Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Tyler Perry - Even Tyler Perry isn't immune to teenage pranks. The media mogul has had his Atlanta home invaded no fewer than three times in as many years, and each time the perps have been groups of area teens. Maybe it's time for higher fences?  (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Madonna - She may travel with the world's best-trained security guards, but someone forgot to keep an eye on Madonna's home base. A crazed stalker broke into Madge's London manse not once, but twice, rolled around in her sheets and even tried on then-husband Guy Ritchie's clothes. The deranged fan, who traveled all the way from Poland with map in hand to pay Madonna a visit, didn't steal a thing except for a single can of Red Bull. Maybe he needed wings to get himself back home?  (Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)

Halle Berry - If Halle Berry thinks paparazzi are persistent, they don't come close to a guy named Richard Franco. The 27-year-old so-called fan made three attempts on three consecutive days to break into Berry's Hollywood Hills home in 2011. Scarily, Berry was home at the time of the attempts. Still, we gotta wonder who would be more welcome as a Thanksgiving guest, Franco or Berry's ex, Gabriel Aubry.  (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Justin Bieber on the paparazzo who was hit and killed by a vehicle while trying to get a picture of Bieber’s car:  - "Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves."

Justin Bieber - We realize Bieber fever can make a person act crazy, but it sent a couple of the pop star's English fans over the edge last year. A pair of Bieliebers snuck into his Liverpool hotel by dressing up like hotel maids...and proceeded to clean it. The fans "half-heartedly" polished and dusted while snapping pics of JB's personal stuff with their cellphones.  (photo: John Ricard / BET).

Kanye West - Yeezy claims he has always wanted to work in fashion, but it turns out, he already did. The hip hop trailblazer once folded t-shirts (though probably not ones that cost $120) at The Gap.   (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Kanye West - Kanye West got robbed…and not just at an awards show. The eccentric rapper was on tour in England when his Los Angeles home was burglarized by thieves looking to get their hands on some of his abundant bling. Considering the burglary happened after Yeezy started dating Kim Kardashian, we hope none of their, ahem, personal items were stolen as well.  (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Prince/Ke$ha - Star-on-star crime is rare, but when pop princess Ke$ha broke into music icon Prince's house, she swore she had a good reason. "I gave him a demo CD," she says, revealing she found the Purple One playing guitar in his living room when she let herself in. "I know I could have gone to jail," she admits, "but how amazing would it be if that was on my record?" (Photos from left: Valerie Goodloe/PictureGroup, Rabbani and Solimene Photography/Getty Images)

50 Cent - Being shot nine times couldn't slow Curtis down, so we doubt a few zombies would get in his way. Now, if those creatures dressed up like Floyd Mayweather, then they might be able to get under his skin...  (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

50 Cent - Perhaps inspired by Fiddy's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" motto, two twenty-something amateur thieves managed to break into the rapper's Connecticut home and guzzle some of his most expensive wine before getting busted by the cops. 50 wasn't home at the time of the incident. As for the bumbling burglars, they were held on $50,000 bail each. How's that for a pricey drink?   (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

Kourtney Kardashian: April 18 - The eldest Kardashian sibling and mother-of-two turns 34.   (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images)

Kourtney Kardashian - Despite living in a double-gated community in L.A.'s prestigious Calabasas neighborhood, the eldest Kardashian sister couldn't keep burglars out. Thieves took approximately $108,000 worth of jewelry from the reality star's home. For a girl who loves her bling as much as Kourtney, that's gotta hurt.  (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Caesars Entertainment)

Zoe Saldana - After Avatar made her a worldwide star, everybody wanted a piece of Zoe Saldana. Including a pair of cat burglars, who broke into the Dominican actress' Los Angeles home. While nothing was stolen, the typically tough-as-nails star was understandably shaken up.  (Photo: Amy Sussman/Getty Images for FIJI Water)

Diddy - Everybody's a critic, even the guy who robs and squats in your house. A high-maintenance fan, who regularly broke into Diddy's Hamptons pad over a period of 10 years, each time binging himself on caviar and liquor, later dissed Diddy to the media. "It's just like a three-bedroom," the intruder told police, clearly unimpressed with Diddy's digs. "But I was hoping to stay like 15 or 17 days." His justification? "I just wanted to get out of the city for awhile." He'll have his chance…in jail. (Photo: Moses Robinson/Getty Images for BET)
