Hollywood Burglars Begin to Turn on Each Other

The Hollywood Burglary Bunch apparently has no problems eating its own.

As we previously reported, investigators believe that the ringmaster was one Rachel Lee, and now search warrants obtained Friday by E! News offer yet more details into the case against her.

Lee was seemingly sold out by her alleged partner-in-crime, Nicholas Prugo, who is quoted in the documents saying she orchestrated hits on such stars as Orlando Bloom, Audrina Patridge and Brian Austin Green.

Prugo told detectives that Lee chose their celebrity targets, while he would gather information and pictures on the Internet. He also told investigators she was primarily after the designer wardrobes of celebs she “admired.”

Prugo also gave investigators detailed desriptions of their methods and loot. For example, he said that he and Lee bagged between $200,000 and $300,00 of Chanel loot from Rachel Bilson’s home and entered Paris Hilton’s home three teams, taking cash, narcotics and personal effects.

Prugo said he was nervous about commiting the last burglary, at Lindsay Lohan's home, because they had already been captured on surveillance footage.

“You’re already here,” she allegedly told Prugo. “You might as well come inside and get something for yourself.”

Crime may not pay, but it sure can comp you some priceless merchandise. Until you're caught, that is.

According to newly released documents detailing the spoils of the search warrants targeting the celeb-obsessed pals who allegedly ripped off Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox, Rachel Bilson, Audrina Patridge, Ashley Tisdale and Brian Austin Green, the so-called Hollywood Burglar Bunch certainly knew how to get the most out of their home invasions.

Police managed to recover all manner of jewelry, designer goods and, as no ill-thought-out crime ring is complete without them, drugs and guns. The goods were retrieved in raids carried out Oct. 22.

Now get a load of this haul:

Good thing the Los Angeles Police Department isn't as sensitive to awkward topics as Lindsay Lohan is.

Adding to the ever-growing list of celebrity victims of the bizarre student burglar ring, the LAPD announced that Ashley Tisdale, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were the latest stars to have their home heists linked to the fashion-forward hooligans.

They're in such fine company as the celebrity victims previously identified: Lohan, Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson and Audrina Patridge. Investigators say the suspects hit at least 10 residences, two of whom were not famous (just apparently in possession of a killer wardrobe).

"The celebrities had a couple of things in common," Officer Brett Goodkin said. "That they were celebrities, it was easy to find out where they live via the internet, and that none of the celebrities knew any of the suspects in this crime."

Despite reports that recent burglaries of Kourtney Kardashian and Stephanie Pratt's homes were perpetrated by the same gang, police said there wasn't enough evidence to connect the crimes.

Police are already working to get the stolen goods back, having succeeded in Hilton's case. (Thus answering the question of what, exactly, you get the girl who has everything: her stuff back.)

Hollywood Burglary Ring Broken Up; Lindsay, Audrina and Pals Exhale

It's a blockbuster potentially starring Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson. Too bad it will be playing out in the L.A. courthouse instead of a movie house.

Los Angeles police tell E! News that they have shut down a burglary ring that allegedly targeted several young Hollywood stars, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and clothes.

A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department says that 19-year-old Diana Tamayo, 18-year-old Alexis Neirs, 18-year-old Courtney Ames and a man named Roy Lopez were taken into custody Thursday as part of a sting operation.

No charges have been filed yet, but the foursome is expected to be tagged with felony burglary charges. Ames and Neirs were released on $50,000 bond. (As of this writing, Lopez and Tamayo were still jailed.)

Another woman, 19-year-old Rachel J. Lee, was arrested in Clark County, Nev., on charges of possession of stolen property and voluntarily surrendered in the Lohan/Patridge case.  Bond was set at $3,000.

Rachel Bilson Slips Us the Tongue

What could possibly have caused the former O.C. starlet to flash us her tongue on the way to a photo shoot at L.A.'s Miauhaus Studios?

Is she just as P.O.'d over the balloon boy hoax as we are? Or is it a reaction to the casting of her BF Hayden Christensen in Jumper 2? (Stay put this time.)

Either way, the gesture's got us feeling like silly little kids. Real nice beanie, Rach. Nyah, nyah!

Has HIMYM Cast Rachel Bilson as the Maybe Mama?

More from Watch with Kristin

How I Met Your Mother may really, truly, finally be revealing Ted's baby mama—and right now, the likely candidate is one of our absolute faves, Miss Rachel Bilson.

A show rep confirms to us that Rachel has been picked for the potentially pivotal part, which ties in perfectly with reports from our best frenemy earlier this week stating the HIMYM 100th-episode celebration is set to be mom-centric. Show runners had been "spending a lot of time trying to cast the female role in Ted's story" for the landmark ep, said Ausiello.

So is Rachel's character the real deal? While it seems likely that the adorable starlet is the mama-related lady in question, Bilson's rep tells us that she's only signed on to appear in the one episode.

So is this just the next Stella (Sarah Chalke) to our Ted or will Bilson pop up again somewhere down the road as—wait for it!—the actual mother? Fingers crossed!

Celebs like Ciara, Rachel Bilson and Mandy Moore want us to stop being textually active...at least when we're behind the wheel.

They were just a few of the stars at Nobu last night for Elle magazine and Express' Hit the Road, TXT L8R campaign party, hosted by Ciara (who admitted her new short 'do is actually a wig.)

Rachel came without her engagement ring, but newlywed Mandy Moore told us the person she texts most is her hubby, Ryan Adams.

Twilight's Nikki Reid and Kellan Lutz were also on hand. So what did they have to say about Rachelle Lefevre's recasting?

They may have played BFFs Summer and Marissa on The O.C., but in real life, Rachel Bilson doesn't keep up with Mischa Barton.

Rach was walking down Sunset Boulevard after leaving Chateau Marmont when paps asked if she's talked to Mischa, who was recently hospitalized for a mystery "medical issue" and placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold.

"I haven't spoken to her," Rachel replied to the paps' queries.

So what's the latest from those who are staying in touch with Mischa?

Thieves Raid Rachel Bilson's Closet

Rachel Bilson is experiencing a fashionista's worst nightmare: a burglar raiding her closet.

The O.C. starlet was in Canada with fiancé Hayden Christensen when the robbery of her home in Los Angeles was identified, Bilson's rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells E! News.

"She's been out of town but it was discovered on the 8th of this month," he says. "A police report was filed on that day by her mom but, because she was out of town, she needs to put the list [of what's missing] together to submit to police and her insurance." (Neither Los Angels police or sheriff's department had been notified as of press time.)

Between the designer duds and pieces of jewelry—some of which were family heirlooms with sentimental value—the monetary value of all the missing items will be frighteningly high.

Rachel Bilson's Engagement Ring Revealed?

Well, it sure looks like she's engaged.

Despite the fact that Rachel Bilson herself has yet to verbally confirm the rumors that she's set to tie the knot with Hayden Christensen, the actress was spotted shopping Monday afternoon in Los Angeles wearing quite the rock on her left hand.

So while it remains to be seen if such bling actually represents an eventual walk down the aisle, the, er, force is nevertheless pretty strong with this particular piece of evidence.
