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

As we previously reported, investigators believe the ringmaster was one Rachel Lee, and now court documents 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 an affidavit 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 descriptions 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 times, taking cash, narcotics and personal effects.

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

"You're already here," Lee allegedly told Prugo. "You might as well come inside and get something for yourself."

Lindsay Lohan's Mom on Tape: She's a "Mess"

Dina Lohan got punched in the face when she tried to get Lindsay into rehab last year—so why do we still feel sorry for LiLo?

Because the revelation is just part of another audio recording released by daddy dearest Michael Lohan to Radar Online as part of his so-called concern for his daughter's life.

"You don't even know what I'd go through trying to get her into, like, rehab and stuff," Dina is heard telling Michael over the phone in a conversation dated September 2008. "She'd like, punch me in the face, kick me out of the car...like you don't know the (expletive) I went through trying to get her an intervention by myself.  It was very difficult."

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.

He's being held on $85,000 bail.

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 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, Rachel Bilson and Paris Hilton, and the gang also allegedly invaded Ashley Tisdale's space.

Lindsay Lohan Plotting Revenge on "Loser" of a Father

Lindsay Lohan 's reached her breaking point with her daddy dearest.

Hours after one of her phone calls to Michael Lohan, apparently secretly recorded by her father, was leaked to ostensibly to show her fragile state, the Parent Trapper attacked on two fronts. She took to Twitter to denouce his actions and also ordered her attorney to seek some kind of legal means to get him out of her life.

"My fathers such a loser & those recordings are from years ago," she tweets. "To release personal things is foul enough, but to edit them. I used to think. That he needed the book for dummies on learning how to be a father. Haha-he's needs the book for dummies on HOW TO BE A MAN."

The recordings, published by Radar Online, find the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen actress sobbing as she laments to her papa that "no one cares about me" and pours her heart out about problems in their family and her failed relationship with on-off gal-pal Samantha Ronson.

Michael Lohan released the dramatic tape to back up his repeated claims that the 23-year-old needs assistance.

But, according to Linday's lawyer, Michael's the one who's going to need help.

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 from 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:

Lindsay Lohan's Dad: She Looks Old

"She's a beautiful girl but she looks 100 years old."

Michael Lohan, perhaps in an effort to score a few extra votes in our parent poll, shared this opinion with Page Six about his 23-year-old daughter, Lindsay Lohan.

Such a remark is apparently the latest attempt by dear old dad to draw more attention to himself his girl's trail of troubles, telling the gossip rag: "I am going to go to court to get a legal conservatorship to get Lindsay into rehab and finally get her off all the prescription meds. [Wife] Dina is going to sit down with me and the lawyers and make things right for Lindsay."

Of course, adding insult to injury like this is always a good start.

Lindsay Lohan Grossed Out by Grabby Fan

More from H'Wood Party Girl

Lindsay Lohan was just one of the many stars in attendance at the Lakers' first game of the season last night, but she wasn't so happy with the postgame show.

After the final buzzer, Linds got swarmed by photogs as she headed to her car. One fan asked to take a picture with her, then proceeded to jump into the shot and snap it without her permission.

"Don't touch me!" L.L. hissed.

And while she usually craves attention, we can't blame her for this paparazzi swarm. There was a rumor floating around that she had camera crews filming her for a reality series—part of her effort to fix her flailing career—but a source says there is no show in the works.

Too bad. With Lindsay, you know they'd never run out of material.

Lindsay Lohan Feeling "Awkward" About Burglary

Loading...

"Relieved" isn't the word Lindsay Lohan is using to describe police catching her alleged burglars.

Nope, when asked how she feels that the people supposedly responsible for targeting her Hollywood home—and those of other stars—Lohan wasn't as psyched as we thought she'd be.

"[That's] the most awkward question you could possibly ask," she told E! News just before she scurried into the Rock the Kasbah event in Los Angeles Monday night. "Yeah, I'm talking to the detectives, but it's nobody's business but my own."

Actually, if the clues add up the way they appear they might, it's also Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge and Rachel Bilson's business, but LiLo admits she's not clear on the semantics.

Lohan Burglary Suspect Blames Bad "Friends"

Last week, police broke up what was described as a burglary ring targeting Hollywood stars, including Lindsay Lohan.

Today, one of those suspects—whose involvement in an E! reality project has potentially been jeopardized by her arrest—is blaming a poor choice in friends as the reason she's on the wrong end of the law.

"This is a difficult time for my family and myself and I can't wait for all of this to be cleared up," Alexis Neiers exclusively tells E! News. "I've learned my lesson that I need to make some better friends and some better decisions as far as my friends go."

Lindsay Dropped by Label, Works for Low, Low Lohan Wages

Picturesque trainwreck Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford many more lip injections if reports of getting dropped by her record label are true. And that's the good news!

According to FoxNews.com and the New York Post, not only has onetime singer Lohan been dropped by Casablanca Records, it has also been revealed that her high-profile (and widely panned) fashion gig for Ungaro is a freebie. The Post's Page Six column reports that Lindsay even paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion Week show—though she did reportedly cart off $100,000 worth of Ungaro clothes.

What's a girl to do when her main job is a glorified internship? Well, what about a reality show?
