Trouble at the Brangelina compound?

In the early afternoon of Nov. 15, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, police arrived to respond to an alarm at the Los Angeles manse shared by Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their six kids. Star magazine claims that the famous couple were having "their worst fight ever" and that neighbors have called in the past to complain about the ruckus made from their spectacular fights.

The real story? False alarm!

LAPD Sgt. Kyle Kirkman tells Usmagazine.com that a burglary alarm sounded at the Jolie-Pitt place at 12:54 p.m. Two officers arrived and confirmed that the alarm system was tripped accidentally, and were back on the road within 15 minutes.

"We went out and checked to make sure it’s a false alarm, and if it’s false, we leave. That’s basic protocol. That one was a real basic false alarm," Kirkman tells Us.

So what caused the alarm to go off? "Lots of times what happens is something with the key pad -- if they punch the wrong number, it automatically goes into a panic alarm, and we respond to that too," Kirkman explains. (Maybe Maddox and Shiloh were goofing off with the keypad?)

Awww: see how the Jolie-Pitt children have grown up

Sadly, the officers didn't get an audience with Jolie or Pitt -- someone else answered the door.

As for stories of their knock-down drag-out fights, the Jolie-Pitts have been visibly content in Hollywood this week. On Monday, the couple was affectionate at George Clooney's Up in the Air party; on Thursday, Jolie and Pitt took their eldest, Maddox, to cheer on pals Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon at Thursday's premiere of Invictus.

  • December 07, 2009 - 10:12am Julia

    ANGELINA JOLIE IS A LOSER. In 2004, her career was floundering, she played on a tv film, the Fever. what better to rob a married, famous and rich man to restore her career, her bank account and create scandal.

    LOL I agree with E** about how Brad liked the sex and sneaking around while married to Jen Aniston, I mean, no one can stop a b**ch in heat. She hounded and hounded and even paid press to get pics of them together! after she found out how much of the women despised her for breaking an unspoken rule she started her 'damage control' which was to adopt to take the heat off of her (totally reminds me of 'Mommie Dearest') start crying publicly about the death of her mom and donating and paying for positive press. Looks like her money wasn't good anymore, if it was we would be reading all that bogus crap! LOL Look at them in the pic! Brad looks like 'been there, done that' LOL

    this doesn't suprise me star magazine has been off target for a while now just printing BS if you ask me i bought the magazine for the title then was upset when i got home and realized it was a star magazine i could have saved my money they are rediculous so US magazine keep doing your job and proving them wrong

    JJ you are correct in my opinion. BP loved the sex-Angelina was smart and got pregnant to hold on to him. The problem is did he really want a family with her? When I got married I made sure my husband and I were in agreement with the way we were going to raise our children, our religion and made sure our families got along. We are now going on 26 years of a happy marriage and have raised 4 beautiful moral wonderful successfull non-tattood adults. A relationship is more than sex it seems Angelina wanted what Brad and Jenn had-but the big difference is AJ is not nor will ever be like Jenn. Jenn seems to be a warm genuine person who has a lot of friends and family that love her and Brad still states he will always care for her. No one really knows what goes on with BP and AJ but Brad never looks happy as he used to with Jenn. Now he is stuck no going back-ever.

    Looks very tense, but AJ looks cool, almost angrily or disturbingly cool (if indeed there was a major fight with physical fighting and yelling prior to this picture). It appears evident BP might be feeling stressed, or maybe he's really focused on the art work he's viewing. I don't know, but, man, I think he screwed up by involving himself this way, and with her. She doesn't seem to genuinely respect other people. And when she was quoted as saying something to the effect she would not steal or fool with any other woman's husband, because she experienced the effects of that as a child (apparently her father cheated on her mother). Brother...that right there is pretty contradictory or incongruent. I believe she is very jealous of JA and for some reason, wanted to split BP and JA up forever. I think it is because JA and BP were a beautiful, golden, seemingly happy couple. Not only that, they were both incredibly free from any serious responsibilities at that time. I think BP got involved with AJ because he is addicted to the sex. I believe that is the foundation of BP and AJ's union. They do have the children, yes, but I speculate they have very, very different expectations of parenting. Finally, AJ wanted (and is still doing this by now investing in the jewelry biz) to tie him up into so many knots (having 6 children immediately will tie his fanny up, and did) he doesn't know which way is up, nor how to find any real or good resolution.

    It's actually really funny how people belive every single thing the hear or see by the media.Yea, people are bored they want something to talk about even if it's quite obvious that it's not true.

  • December 05, 2009 - 11:51pm Oh STAR magazine, you disgust me

    HAHAHA, you should read some of the comments people wrote on Starmagazine dot com! They actually believe this fight nonsense! People are so stupid now days, it makes me sad to know that these people actually take part in the same society as me.

    These haters rantings remind me of how throughout the ages haters have ripped apart those that are lucky enough to find love. Plain & simple haters are JEALOUS! ENVIOUS of the happiness they see in others. Until haters learn to love themselves they will never be happy with themselves and the world. They will always deny it but, that is the simple truth. Can you imagine the ugliness that is eating them alive if after 5 yrs they are still at it? Personally, I pity them. One would think they were the injured party, the one left, spurned, divorced... really sad. Just check them out. Peace out!

  • December 05, 2009 - 8:58pm kat

    I would think they have enough space and soundproofing that you would not hear yelling, which leads me to speculate?

    Let me guess, you've been in their house and know the exact blueprint of the layout and know exactly how high the keypad is from the floor. I guess you don't have kids or haven't been around any because kids can be very clever. Just because someone is short doesn't mean they're incapable of doing things. You know what irresponsible parenting is? Letting kids grow up being small-minded and hateful like yourself.----------------- December 05, 2009 - 12:57pm Oh god, who's the other one? Says: How did Maddox and Shiloh goofed off with the keypad? Aren't they a little too short, especially Shiloh? If the kids did played with the keypad by using a chair then this just seems like irresponsible parenting. Or did Angelina threw a chair at Brad but missed and hit the keypad instead?

  • December 05, 2009 - 8:28pm Who Cares

    Who cares. There are far worst things to worry about in this world than two overpaid talentless people.

  • December 05, 2009 - 2:04pm hay

    I don't believe anything they write about angelina.

  • December 05, 2009 - 1:26pm something...

    why the love affair with hollywood...they are both cheaters...
