An enterprising iBurglar stole Steve Jobs' wallet , driver's license, and thousands of dollars' worth of Apple electronics from the late tech guru's home, according to police.

But the burglar likely didn't even know whose home he was pillaging, a prosecutor told the San Jose Mercury News: "The best we can tell is it was totally random."

In perhaps a fitting tribute to the late Jobs, who died last fall at age 56, it was his company's own technology that helped authorities track down a suspect, the Mercury News reports.

A hearing on the temporary guardianship of Michael Jackson's children is likely to happen sometime soon and T.J. Jackson may be applying to be their guardian. The 32-year-old cousin of Prince, Paris, and Prince Michael II (also known as Blanket) is having his attorney draft papers asking for temporary guardianship.

Katherine Jackson is the legal guardian for the children. But her current disappearance means she may lose that role.

The "Octomom's" house is going into foreclosure, after Nadya Suleman's Southern California property failed to get any bids at auction.

Suleman, the single mother of 14 children, moved into the four-bedroom, three-bath house in the Los Angeles suburb of La Habra in 2009, shortly after she famously gave birth to octuplets, the Associated Press reports.

Suleman didn't qualify for a bank loan to pay for the house, so her father had to chip in. But even with her dad's help, she still failed to keep up with payments.

A "Hawaii Five-O" lawsuit seeks at least $10 million in punitive damages for an alleged contract breach, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The suit was filed by talent agent George Litto. Litto represented Leonard Freeman, the writer-producer of the original "Hawaii Five-O" in 1966. After Freeman's death in 1974, Litto claims he negotiated a contract in which he and Freeman's widow would split the profits from any future productions of the TV series. Profits were to be deposited in the family's trusts.

Litto is now suing the trusts' overseer for $10 million, along with profits from the recent CBS remake. So why did he wait so long to sue?

A Lorax statue was stolen from the late Dr. Seuss' estate in San Diego, police said Tuesday.

The Lorax statue was made of bronze and weighed 300 pounds. The late author's widow Audrey Geisel and a groundskeeper discovered the statue was missing on Monday. San Diego Police believe the statue was rolled down a hill adjacent to the property and loaded it into a getaway vehicle, Reuters reports.

The Lorax movie, starring Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, hit theaters earlier this month. Police are currently investigating whether the Lorax statute was stolen as a prank inspired by the film's release or if it was for the bronze, Reuters reports.

The stolen Lorax statue is valued at $10,000, KPBS reports. And the thieves could be facing a hefty sentence because of it.

Singer Whitney Houston's funeral is set for Saturday in her native New Jersey. But a dispute about where Houston will be buried is pitting her famous mother and cousin Dionne Warwick against the rest of her family, reports say.

Whitney Houston's mother Cissy, 78, and Warwick, 71, wanted the late singer to be buried in Atlanta, where many of her fondest memories took place, the website TMZ reports. Other relatives want Houston buried in her native New Jersey.

The dispute suggests Whitney Houston's burial preferences were not specified in writing. There is a way to do that -- but the best way may not be via a will.
