Burglar Bunch Map Targets Orlando Bloom

TMZ has obtained computer data that seems to link the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch to several stars whose homes were hit.

Burglar Bunch Map Targets Orlando Bloom

Take a look at this Google Map, isolating the Hollywood Hills home of Orlando Bloom (see yellow thumbtack). The Map was on a computer used by suspected burglar Nick Prugo. Bloom's home was burglarized on July 15 and hundreds of thousands of dollars in watches were stolen. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe the Burglar Bunch hit Bloom's home, in addition to a string of other celebs in the Hollywood Hills. The Map could be a smoking gun.

Nick Prugo and the other suspects used the computer to store photos and videos, showing off jewelry and possibly plotting various burglaries. The computer in question had been stolen from a Los Angeles businessman ... cops believe it was stolen by the Burglar Bunch. The LAPD seized the computer -- but it appeared to have been completely scrubbed so it was returned to the owner.

The owner, however, hired a computer expert who was able to recover a treasure trove of possible evidence linking the Burglar Bunch to various star victims.

Prugo, along with three other women, have been arrested in connection with the burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, both of whom had jewelry stolen from their homes.

LiLo Burglary Suspect Losing Friends Fast

It's amazing how quickly your famous friends will dump you when you're accused of stealing ... from famous people.

Nick Prugo

Nick Prugo (right), who cops believe was a part of celeb burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, was spotted out last week with Nickelodeon star Drake Bell (left) and Playboy Cyber Girl Tess Taylor (hot chick). But each of them tells TMZ they see Nick in a whole new light now.

Tess tells us, "I have known Nick for many years but have decided to distance myself after his recent incident. I really don't agree with his choices or the people that he has surrounded himself with. Drake Bell and I were at the Roosevelt when I happened to run into Nick inside. That picture of us three was taken as Drake and I were leaving, and it's pretty obvious Nick followed us out to get his picture taken. I am embarrassed to have ever been his friend."

Drake wasn't quite as harsh, saying, "I was introduced to Nick Prugo a while back from some of my friends. After we met I've hung out with him on different occasions, and he's even been over to my house a couple times. Sometimes when people have come to my house I've been wary of what they might do. With Nick I never felt that I had to be wary of him, but I'm definitely going to be careful now."

Lindsay Lohan -- Justice Delayed is Sweet Justice

It's hard to imagine wanting an extra year of probation, but when you're Lindsay Lohan -- and facing possible jail time -- it's actually a good thing.

Lindsay Lohan

A judge today decided to extend Lindsay's probation another year so she can finish her alcohol education classes. Her lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, told the judge Lindsay has been extremely busy and has only been able to complete about half her classes.

Specifically, Lindsay has completed 15 of 26 individual alcohol classes and 13 of 26 group alcohol classes and 13 of 28 self-help sessions. She completed all six education classes.

Lindsay LohanLindsay's lawyer says her client is doing a movie in Texas.

The prosecutor said if the court has to jump through hoops again to accommodate Lindsay, jail is the only answer.

All sides will be back in court for another progress hearing on December 15.

Lindsay's Troubles -- She Ditches Class

We've gotten to the bottom of why Lindsay Lohan is getting hauled back into court, and this video will be Exhibit A today when her lawyer tries to convince the judge that Lindsay will improve her attendance record at her alcohol ed course.

Lindsay Lohan: Click to watch
As we first reported, the Right On Programs -- which Lindsay was ordered to attend as part of her DUI probation -- notified the judge that Lindsay was not satisfying the requirements of the program. Now we have details.

Sources tell TMZ Lindsay had gotten a leave of absence from the course a while back so she could leave the state and work. Time passed and Lindsay never got back in touch with the program so officials there contacted the judge.

Lindsay LohanThis video -- shot yesterday afternoon -- shows Lindsay going back to school. She only has about 6 weeks more to finish the course and it's unlikely the judge will violate her probation, assuming Her Honor believes LiLo is sincere when she appears in court this AM.

Stay tuned

Lindsay's Allegedly Flunking Alcohol Ed

Lindsay Lohan Sources tell TMZ the alcohol education course which Lindsay Lohan is taking as part of her probation not only contacted the court about Lindsay's conduct ... we're told they may have already told the court she is outright violating the terms of the program.

As we first told you, the judge in Lindsay's DUI case has ordered her to appear for the progress report. Lindsay pled no contest to DUI in 2007.

If the judge determines Lindsay violated the terms of the program, her probation can be revoked and Lindsay could end up in jail.
