Miss Brazil robbed at gunpoint in front of home (AP)

SAO PAULO – Miss Brazil has been robbed at gunpoint in front of her home.

The Miss Brazil pageant press office says that Debora Lyra was held up at gunpoint as she approached the entrance of her gated condo in Sao Paulo on Sunday.

Monday's statement says a well-dressed man with a pistol approached Lyra as she pulled up to her condominium. He took her purse, which contained her documents, cell phones and credit cards. He also took the car, which she had been given for winning the 2010 pageant.

She then tweeted in frustration: "For how long will these criminals keep doing this? I was just robbed at the entrance to my house."

Lyra will pass her title to the winner of the 2011 Miss Brazil pageant on July 23.

Actor John Malkovich robbed in Prague (Reuters)

PRAGUE (Reuters) – Being John Malkovich proved to be rather less fun than the eponymous comedy movie on Friday after the American actor found out his Prague hotel room had been burgled.

The theft was an embarrassment to the historic Czech capital, a popular European tourist destination that still struggles with a post-communist legacy of taxi drivers and waiters fleecing foreign visitors.

"We can confirm than an investigation is under way in the case of the disappearance of Mr. Malkovich's personal belongings," said a spokeswoman for the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Malkovich, 57, performed in the murder melodrama "Infernal Comedy," based on a real Austrian serial killer, at the Prague Spring music festival on Thursday, and was due to fly to Poland on Friday.

News website www.idnes.cz quoted the festival's director as saying the thief took two mobile phones.

Malkovich starred in the 1999 comedy "Being John Malkovich" where a puppeteer finds a passage into the mind of Malkovich.

He was nominated for best supporting actor Oscar for "In the Line of Fire" and "Places in the Heart."

Michael Bublé's Home Robbed During Wedding

As Canadian crooner Michael Buble was tying the knot with Argentinean actress Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre, burglars were invading their home, TMZ reported.

The intruders allegedly disarmed the couple's security system and covered any cameras they came across. The newlyweds were at a hotel in Maximo Paz getting ready for the wedding, and no one was hurt, according to reports.

There is still no news about what the thieves stole or how much damage was caused to the Buble-Lopilato home.

Despite the incident, the couple celebrated with more than 300 guests that day and continued the festivities through the weekend. And Lopilato didn't want anything to mess with her special day. "I will not let this ruin the happiest day of my life," she told the local media.

Buble's rep told PopEater that for the ceremony, the bride wore a multi-layered gown designed by Argentinean designer Sylvie Burstin and later at the reception, changed into a Marchesa gown. The groom wore a suit by DSquared.

The married couple's first dance was to Dean Martin's 'Everybody Loves Somebody.' Later, famous Argentinean singer Ricardo Montaner serenaded the couple, and the groom himself sang a song he wrote especially for the bride: 'Haven't Met You Yet.'
