NEW YORK (CBS/AP) E! reality show star Alexis Neiers has been ordered to stand trial with a band of teen robbers accused of burglarizing the home of several celebrities.

Neiers and a group of five others, known as "the bling ring," are charged in a crime spree that targeted the homes of celebrities such as Megan Fox, Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

A preliminary hearing date is scheduled to be set for Nicholas Prugo, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Ames, Roy Lopez Jr. and Rachel Lee.

Prugo is accused of burglarizing the homes of numerous stars, including actors Orlando Bloom, Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox, Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Audrina Patridge.

Tamayo is charged in burglaries at the homes of Lohan and Ashley Tisdale, while Ames and Lopez are charged in a burglary at Hilton's home.

Lee is charged with burglaries at the homes of Lohan, Hilton and Patridge.

Neiers, also known as Alexis Arlington, was only charged in the burglary at Bloom's home.

The 19-year-old is the star of E!'s reality show "Pretty Wild," which premiered March 14.

I think Alexis is NOT guilty of the charges against her. I think she is young and made some poor choices in friends and got tangled up in this mess.I can tell a liar when I see one, I am a mother, and she is absoulutly NOT guilty. I know she pleaded guilty because she was scared that no one would believe her over a celeb like Orlando Bloom, whom I have recently lost all respect for! She has her whole life ahead of her! She has learned a valuable lesson and does NOT deserve to go to jail. I believe in the obvious, that the people who did do it wanted to take her down with them to take all of the negitive attention away from themselves! I respect her courage through all of this BS going on in this case. I think people need to back off and let her be! She has already been through enoughf! Congrats Alexis on your courage and for sticking through this! You are a brave wonderful person and I love your show and admire your spirit. I hope people will back the f off and let you live your life.

Alexis Neier's story of sex, lies, and drugs doesn't start with the reality show, she was infamous long before - her story in connection to the bling ring - and how E! is cashing in: http://thesmogger.com/2010/03/14/suspect-is-described-as-white-female-and-armed-with-chanel/
