Police Say Hilton Thief Familiar with House

January 5th, 2009

Paris Hilton wasn’t just whistling dixie when she said she believed the person who broke into her L.A. home had been there before.

On Monday, the LAPD said they too think the thief who stole nearly $2 million from Hilton’s Mulholland Estates mansion last month was familiar with the layout of her home.

Investigators say the burglar knew how to access the socialite’s collection of rings, watches and necklaces.

Detectives are investigating a number of potential suspects based on information gathered from the scene and interviews with Paris.Hilton’s bedroom was ransacked during the overnight burglary, but police sources said security video showed a thief who knew the home and was able to quickly find Hilton’s jewelry collection, which includes several family heirlooms.

Police say the jewelry was in a place that was not accessible to someone simply searching the home. The burglar entered through an unsecured door at the home on Clerendon Road some time between late evening on Dec. 19 and 4 a.m. Dec. 20, according to police. Security guards discovered the break-in about 5 a.m. Dec. 20 and called police.

Hilton was not home at the time of the burglary. The thief wore gloves and shielded his face in a hooded sweat shirt. There was no evidence of the thief entering or leaving the gated community nestled in the hills of Sherman Oaks, law enforcement sources said.

In a brief television interview recently, Hilton suggested that she had some suspects in mind. "I think whoever did this, definitely has been [in my home] before. We have some suspects that I’m thinking of," she said. "I would tell them to please return my things, because I know that they’re probably watching. . . . They just have to anonymously have a taxi drop it off in my front gate in a box," she said. "They won’t get in trouble, but if all this goes on for much longer, they’re going to get in more trouble."

 

What’s replacing ER?

November 4th, 2008

We’ve all got our hankies out for what promises to be the poignant final season of  ER.(Anthony Edwards returns! Neela and Ray finally do the nasty!)

But as one good thing comes to an end, something beautiful is destined to take its place.

According to Regina King, it will be the new cop series LAPD, which was greenlit to the pilot stage this past summer.

“It’s taking ER’s place,” Regina told me at the third annual Black Girls Rock! Awards at NYC’s Lincoln Center Sunday night. “It’s ER’s last season, so we would follow in its time slot.”

Nice, except for one little detail. According to Regina, the show can’t be called LAPD!

“With the NYPD and FDNY, someone ran that into the ground with hats and T-shirts, and the LAPD didn’t want that same thing happening,” she explained. “So a couple years back, they patented their name. No one can use it, and we can’t use.”

Such a bummer!  So who does Regina play on the yet-to-be-renamed Los Angeles-inspired cop drama?

“I’m playing a D2, a second level detective. We learned everything [real cops] had to learn to get to where they are,” Regina shared. “I feel like a kin to them, even if they don’t look at me that way.”

Regina also revealed that L.A. provides an endless well of stories to dramatize on the series.

“Just the other day, this lady was in a high-speed chase on the freeway. Her car went out of control and flipped over 3 or 4 times. When they got to the car, she was butt-naked. Only in L.A.!”

And that’s just fine with the rest of us!

Cops Come to Kate Hudson’s Party

October 28th, 2008

When cops show up at your party, you’ve got to hope they’re strippers. Unfortunately for Kate Hudson, the real police arrived at her pre-Halloween party early Sunday morning to move her party indoors. Apparently the party was too loud for neighbors, so the LAPD came to keep the noise down.

 

A source tells Page Six that Kate was a 60s flight attendant and son Ryder Robinson wasn’t in attendance. Fellow partygoers included Courteney Cox dressed as a witch with husband David Arquette as a warlock, Winona Ryder as a mouse, Rachel Zoe in a flapper costume and Cindy Crawford dolled up as Amy Winehouse.

 

According to the gossip page, Gerard Butler dressed as a sexy cowboy was the hottest ticket in town, with the source saying, "All the girls at the party were lining up to talk to Gerard… he left with two very sexy vampires."

Report: Britney Receiving Threats?

March 7th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

Britney Spears‘ life has been relatively quiet — until now. E! News is reporting that the former pop princess has been getting numerous threats in the mail, including letters and packages.

A source close to the singer says the disturbing correspondence reportedly includes one letter mentioning "how to bomb" and other "weird gibberish." The threats have become so severe, the source says, that Britney’s fam has decided to turn everything over to law enforcement.

"To be safe, her security team is turning it all over to the police and FBI," a friend of the singer said. "A lot of it was disturbing stalker kind of stuff."

A rep for the LAPD would not elaborate but did say that they "have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months."
The threatening letters and packages were reportedly sent to multiple addresses linked to Britney.

On Friday a spokesperson for the FBI said the LAPD could not comment on ongoing investigations.
