Cops: No Invite to Paris' or Doug's House

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt looked every inch the happy couple at her Celebrity Styler launch party last night, so imagine our surprise to read that police were supposedly called to her house hours later to break up a nasty fight between the two.
Now cops are telling us the alleged drunken disturbance in her driveway never happened—or, at least, there's nothing on record and no citations were issued.
"We have no knowledge of officers stopping by her or Doug's last night or early this morning," an LAPD spokesman tells E! News.
A source extremely close to Paris and Doug says the spat was actually between a houseguest and his girlfriend. "Paris and Doug were in bed sound asleep" when it happened, according to the insider.
But Paris is making some noise right now that she wants us to hear...
Party Patrol: Brush with Drama at Paris Hilton's Bash
PacificCoastNews.com
Paris Hilton has taken over the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel tonight...literally.
In true Hilton style, the roof is decked out in pink, from the lighting to the bubbly, and the entire wall of the building is projecting commercials for her latest venture (and the reason for the party): The Celebrity Styler, a curling iron/brush/flat iron.
The event starts at 7 p.m. A few My New BFF castoffs mug for the cameras before Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy, hit the carpet. At 7:36, the guest of honor arrives with boytoy Doug Reinhardt in tow. The couple takes a few quick photos before Doug bows out for P's solo shots.
Then its time for pics with her parents. Kathy is loving the cameras—like mother, like daughter—until a reporter informs her that daughter Nicky was in a minor fender bender...
Burglar Bunch's Alleged Ringleader Won't Fess Up Just Yet

One of the alleged ringleaders of the so-called burglar bunch just stole bought himself some time.
While Nicholas Prugo was expected to enter a plea for his role in the A-list thefts in court this morning, he instead was granted a postponement to his arraignment, and will now 'fess up—or, in his case, not fess up—on Dec. 2.
Prugo's attorney, Sean G. Erenstoft, told E! News that the 18-year-old will plead not guilty to the host of felony charges he faces for his role in allegedly ripping off Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox and others.
And while he's keen to promote his client's innocence, he requested the delay to ensure that Prugo—now out on $100,000 bail—will be the last of the suspects to enter a plea, a move he hopes will help distance the teen from his alleged coconspirators.
"Sometimes when your accuser has a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, you have a conflict," Erenstoft said, insisting that Prugo's rights were breached last week with the accidental release of what should have been a sealed affidavit in the case. In the document, Prugo wasn't shy about detailing the burglaries and otherwise pointing fingers at his pals.
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.”
Sixth Hollywood Burglary Suspect in Custody

Another suspect is down for the count.
Los Angeles police confirmed to E! News Wednesday that Jonathan Ajar, 27, another suspected member of a burglary ring that hit up the houses of Hollywood's rich, young and famous is in custody after turning himself in today.
The cops had no further comment, but the L.A. District Attorney's Office says that charges had already been filed against Ajar in absentia, none of them having to do with the actual act of burglary, but rather related to the guns and drugs found when authorities searched his home on Oct. 22.
"We didn't file any charges against him related to the actual burglary," D.A. spokeswoman Jane Robison said. "We charged him with multiple counts of possession, for sale of a controlled substance and possession of a firearm."
Officials warned last week, when Ajar was nowhere to be found, that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
So far, alleged ringleader Nicholas Prugo, 18, has been charged with seven counts of residential burglary; Diana Tamayo, 19, is charged with two; and Alexis Neiers, 18, Roy Lopez Jr., 27, and Courtney Leigh Ames, 18, are each facing one count.
Prugo is accused of participating in the break-ins at the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox and Paris Hilton, and the gang also allegedly invaded Ashley Tisdale's space.

Warrants Show Hollywood's Burglar Bunch Made Out Like Bandits

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:
Paris Steps Out Solo, but Things "Great" With Doug
Chris Weeks/Getty Images
Although Paris Hilton left Doug Reinhardt home last night and attended the Jimmy Choo for H&M party with her family, the two are still going strong.
And what about that incident between the couple on Halloween night where P's phone ended up getting tossed out of their limo?
Her rep says things got blown out of proportion.
"There was never a choking incident," the heiress's rep tells E! News of paparazzi shots supposedly showing Doug's hand on Paris' neck. "The photographs show Doug asking Paris not to go back outside and to calm down.”
So why was her phone thrown out the window by Doug in the first place?
Heidi Klum Throws Star-Studded, Spooky Soiree
When you're supermodel Heidi Klum and impossibly gorgeous everyday, you don't mind getting ugly on Halloween.
That's exactly what the new mom and her hubby, Seal, did at their annual fright night fete, held at Voyeur. The couple were almost unrecognizable in crazy crow costumes, which Heidi designed herself.
They weren't the only ones who went to the birds...
Paris Hilton donned a Swan Lake ballerina costume, while her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, wore a Tooth Fairy costume. Inside the bash, Paris showed off her dance skills on the banquette, natch...
Paris Hilton on Burglary Ring: "A Bunch of Dirty Rotten Thieves"
So Lindsay Lohan finds answering questions about the Hollywood Burglar Bunch awkward (although it's way more awkward watching her be all awkward about it), but Paris Hilton has no problem talking about the sticky-fingered teens.
"They're a bunch of dirty rotten thieves," Paris said last night as she left West Hollywood restaurant Philippe.
The heiress had about $2 million in jewelry stolen by the student burglary ring, most of which has been returned. But still, Paris admits she would much rather hang out with the Brady Bunch than the Burglar Bunch...duh. Great question, paparazzi man.

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.)
Is Paris Hilton Trying Too Hard to Please Boyfriend?

One party wasn't enough for Paris Hilton's boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt.
While Paris threw him a bash last week in advance of his actual birthday on Thursday, the couple continued celebrating his 24th in Vegas this weekend—doing it up in typical over-the-top heiress style.
On Friday, they checked into the Hard Rock Hotel and hit the U2 and Black Eyed Peas concert.
Saturday, the on-again duo first stopped at a pet store before heading to Circus Circus for roller coaster rides and carnival games, along with Doug's guy friends.
After a disco nap, the festivities continued at Body English, where P. presented Doug with a huge cake, which they promptly smashed in each other's faces.
Things almost turned sour later that night when they came close to running into one of Paris' exes, who was also at Hard Rock...
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.
