Emma Watson channels her inner bad girl in Sofia Coppola's new movie, "The Bling Ring." Watson stars with Leslie Mann, Taissa Farmiga, Gavin Rossdale and Paris Hilton in the story based on an actual group of young robbers who broke into the homes of celebrities including Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan -- and in a strange twist -- Hilton herself. The movie, which is set to be released on June 14, is based on the Vanity Fair article by Nancy Jo Sales, titled "The Suspects Wore Louboutins."
