Do you guys have that “Find my iPhone” app? I have it on my various iPads and iPods. I have an iPad 1 and 2, and an iPod touch, I’m not rolling in them, but they get misplaced sometimes and it’s easy to send them a signal that will help you fish them out of the couch or from under the car seat. The app will also tell you where your device is on a map, down to the address. There have been countless stories about people getting their iPhones stolen and then finding and confronting the idiots who don’t know this app exists. (Or who have no clue about iCloud.) Here’s another story along those lines with some semi-famous names attached.
Estella Warren is a former model who didn’t quite make the transition to film. She’s best known as the hot wide-eyed chick in the 2001 Planet of The Apes remake with Marky Mark. She’s had some minor roles since but nothing of note. A couple of years ago, Estella got a DUI after ploughing into some parked cars. Her story went beyond the standard celebrity DUI since got in a huge altercation with police, kicking a cop and escaping from custody before being caught again. So she’s not known for her sobriety, and neither is the other person in this story, TV actress Jaime Pressly. Pressly had her own DUI, also in 2011, although she didn’t resist arrest or get in an accident at the time. She was just trying to drive with a BAC over three times the legal limit.
So we have these two women converging in LA on Friday night. Apparently Jaime and Estella were at a party together, when Estella told Jaime she liked her bag. Jaime said the bag was her assistant’s, who later noticed it was missing. Jaime used the “find my iPhone” app to trace her assistant’s iPhone to club Bootsy Bellows, where she noticed that Estella was conveniently holding an iPhone. Note to potential thieves: do not tell someone you like an object before you plan to swipe it from them. Also don’t steal Apple devices. Here’s more:
It was handbags at dawn, quite literally, Friday night when Jaime Pressly accused fellow actress Estella Warren of stealing her assistant’s purse, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
The feisty My Name Is Earl star was at a birthday bash for her publicist Gary Mantoosh at a private house in Los Angeles when her assistant’s handbag containing her iPhone went missing.
Determined to discover where the bag – which also contained Pressly’s own keys – had gone, the blonde actress used modern technology to track it down, only to end up accusing Planet of the Apes beauty, Warren of taking it.
“Estella was at the party as a guest of the photographer, not of the birthday boy,” an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com. “However everyone was getting on and having a good time.”
That was until the bag disappeared.
“Jaime used the Find My iPhone app – which is like GPS – and saw that her assistant’s phone was at a club in West Hollywood called Bootsy Bellows. So she immediately left the party with her friends to find out who had it.”
According to our eyewitness when Jaime arrived at the club, she spotted Warren holding an iPhone. Pressly accosted her and insisted the smartphone in her hand was her assistant’s.
“Estella was adamant it was hers, but when Pressly told her to unlock it, she couldn’t. So she took it, along with the handbag, peered inside and claimed a number of items in there belonged to her assistant.”
Pressly approached a sheriff’s deputy who happened to be outside the venue with her story of an alleged theft, the eyewitness says, but no official action was taken.
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Warren’s representative but has not had a response.
Maybe I’ve watched too much “My Name is Earl,” but I would not screw with Jaime Pressly! She will mess you up. I don’t blame her for tracing the phone and getting all up in Estella’s face, I would have done the same thing. Maybe I would have brought the cop in with me though to avoid a scene. I’m picturing Joy Turner with pigtails, smacking her gum and pulling Estella’s hair while she cries for mercy. Joy would get her assistant’s stuff back and then she would steal Estella’s purse and take her jewelry and shoes for good measure.
Update: sorry for missing the detail that drugs were found in the purse, but of course Jaime and the assistant claimed the drugs weren’t theirs. Also thanks to ctkat for commenting that Estella’s age is listed as 42 in that article on US Weekly, but that Wikipedia has her as “34.”

I read this over the weekend. I love that she stood up for her assistant. And she was AMAZING in My Name is Earl. She had all the best lines.
I can only imagine the outrage of Jaime talking to her assistant about it! “You bag is missing?!? Girl, we gotta find the bitch that stole it!” Then storming off in a huff and taking her earrings out lol
Bwahaha! Bitch, don’t make me take my earrings out!
CB, maybe the cop wasn’t there when she went into the club. Perhaps she just saw him on her way out, so she reported it. And I seriously doubt she would have done so if she’d known there were drugs in the purse.
Right out of the Blohan playbook.
You fail, Estella.
It sounds more like Jaimie was going after the DRUGS than naything else~hence, the no law enforcement involved. Sketchy regardless, anyway you look at it!!!
Now I can’t stop thinking about “Been Caught Stealing” by Jane’s Addiction.
Your last paragraph said it all. I would not cross Jamie. She seems legitimately feisty and fierce, it’s why I still like her, despite her DUI.
ha, I like you pictured Joy getting ready to throw down. I would not mess with Pressley.
What is with these entitled celebs jacking other people’s things? I would have kicked her a@@! Compliment me on a bag and then rip it off? Oh. Hell. No.
I was hoping you guys covered this, STRANGE, to say the least.
I read that later the cops were called because of the altercation and that coke was found in the purse to which Pressley said that was not theirs but the purse was, smdh.
I think Estella had a rehab stint not too long ago.
Press looks like she can whip some BUTT!
LOL
I read there were drugs in the purse. I’d hazard a guess Jamie was more concerned about that than an iPhone.
Eh, the theif was at the club with phone and purse as if it was hers. Jamie could always say Estella put the drugs in it.
@gloaming I think drugs would have need the insentive behind the purse chase. While having an assistance bag stolen might spur you into done action. Having my coke that I kept in my assistants bag stolen would make me fking nancy drew the ass out if this situation 🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎
Haha! This !
The best part of this is that on wikipedia Estella Warren’s age is listed as 34…and in her arrest warrant, it is listed as 42. Someone shaved 8 years off her “official” age.
Bwah-ha-ha!
I actually liked Estella’s romcoms.
The age thing also came up the last time she got arrested. So I guess she’s a liar and a thief.
Ooh I loved her as Joy on My Name is Earl. Her character was what I would like to think I would do if pissed off, but I like not getting arrested and keeping my job so that’s why I record re runs.
Lordy what happened to Estella’s nostrils? either it’s a botched nose job or she takes a hell lotsa “snowflakes” and they just con caved
Yes, it looks as if her nose just collapsed from cocaine use – the same thing happened to Lilo right before her last nose job btw…
Jaime Pressly still makes enuf $$ to pay an assistant?
I don’t think personal assistants make much money.
This whole story was a BIG lol for me! HAHAHAHA.
I also thought the same thing about Jaime not only being able to afford an assistant, but also need one at a party. Why were her keys in her assistant’s purse? She didn’t take her own purse to the party? Is that why the assistant was there to hold keys in her purse for Jaime? Sooooo many questions??
Also, Estella over the last few years has been looking like a crackie so I think the drugs were hers and Jaime seems like a gansta bitch so I wouldn’t mess with her. HA.
well to be fair.. maybe she learned her lesson about driving w/ a buzz. so took her assistant along to drive? maybe she CANT drive yet since she had a dui?
Didn’t TMZ have a video of JP drunk and peeing in public. Like not in an alley at night, but just on a street at noon? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CknyClblSkI
Not to state the obvious, but maybe she needs some help too?
She was her bachelorette party and said it was a dare/prank with a water bottle. Unless this is a different incident?
wow i remember when estella warren was like the next big thing (in the swimsuit model category at least). she looks terrible. did she get a really bad nose job on her already small nose?
Me too. And now she steal purses? I’ve seen her back in the days of the shooting of Driven (around 2000-2001), geez, what happen?
LMAO why did they have to use the craziest pics they could find of the two of them??
DAYUM, Estella looks rough.
I wouldn’t mess with Jaime either. Estella sounds like she’s a mess.
Two roughnecks!!!! Hahahaah
Rode hard and put away wet.
“34” my ass!
Jaime probably only helped her assistant because that woman was carrying the drugs for jaime. These people are gross and creepy. Wierd that someone would steal a phone when they can easily afford their own.
Total side note and not really important. I am from the same small town that Estella Warren is from. Ironically her mother was my music teacher in Gr. 7 and a very nice, proper lady. But I thought her and I were around the same age and I’m 37. hmmm
I was in rehab with Estella Warren in fall of 2004 in Arizona, when she was with Peter Berg. He showed up for family week too. She was super sweet and nice, we swam laps together a few times. Obviously sobriety didn’t take for her. It took for me, one day at a time.
I would not want to mess with Jaime Pressly. She looks like she can throw down hard.
Yikes! What’s wrong with her nose?
I was thinking the same thing I think she just got a bad nose job.
Both ladies have some city miles on ’em.
Before the DUI a few years ago, the last thing I had heard about Estella Warren doing was Paul Thomas Anderson (who now has a bunch of kids with Maya Rudolph) while he was in a long term relationship with Fiona Apple. Besides causing trouble, what does Estella Warren do?
Kids, stay away from alcohol and drugs…Why? ^^That’s why^^
I just have to say that this app does not always work. Last weekend some strung out girl literally walked into my house claiming I somehow got her phone from her boyfriend when they were fighting (so I’m guessing he sold it). She was saying she didn’t want to call the cops, I told her go ahead if she wanted to. I should have. She called her boyfriend in, and he told her I wasn’t the girl. Cracked out vigilantes. Maybe someone was walking by my house when she tracked it? I don’t know.
Why in that second to last photo of Estella is her nose grey/purple?!!? It is really freaking me out!!!
The hell you say! Oh, my!!!
