The true story that inspired the Sofia Coppola film
Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson:
robbed. More than $3 million in stolen clothing, jewelry, shoes,
and handbags reported missing. Who is behind one of the most brazen
string of crimes in recent Hollywood history? Meet the Bling Ring:
a band of club-hopping teenagers from the Valley with everything to
lose.
Over the course of a year, the members of the now infamous Bling
Ring allegedly burglarized some of the biggest names in young
Hollywood. Driven by celebrity worship, vanity, and the desire to
look and dress like the rich and famous, these seven teenagers made
headlines for using Google maps, Facebook, and TMZ to track the
comings and goings of their targets. Many of the houses were
unlocked. Alarms disabled. A "perfect" crime-- celebrities already
had so much, why shouldn't the Bling Ring take their share?
As the unprecedented case unfolded in the news, the world asked:
How did our obsession with celebrities get so out of hand? Why
would a group of teens who already had so much, take such a
risk?
Acclaimed Vanity Fair writer Nancy Jo Sales found the answer:
they did it because each stolen T-shirt or watch brought them
closer to living the Hollywood dream . . . and because it was
terrifyingly easy. For the Bling Ring the motivation was something
deeper than money--they were compelled by a compulsion to be
famous. Gaining unprecedented access to the group of teens, Sales
traces the crimes minute by minute and details the key players'
stories in a shocking look at the seedy, and troubling, world of
the real young Hollywood.
