Man Charged with Stalking DWTS’ Shawn Johnson
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
A 34-year-old Florida man has been charged with stalking a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
Earlier this week, Robert O’Ryan was caught jumping over a fence at the CBS studio lot in LA. After he was confronted by security, O’Ryan first said he was there to visit 17-year-old Shawn Johnson. Since the gymnast denied knowing the man, he then claimed he was there to see Steve-O.
When asked if he was was carrying any weapons, the suspect - who had an expired concealed weapons permit on him - admitted having two guns in his car. A follow-up investigation by the LAPD determined that O’Ryan possessed “a loaded .45 handgun, a loaded shotgun, and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties, and a map to the victim. Also found were love letters, clippings and other information on [Shawn Johnson].”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office charged Robert on Thursday with one count of felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle. Although he is currently being held on $35,000 bail, prosecutors are expected to ask that the amount be raised to $220,000.

American Idol Contestant Has DUI Record
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News, Rumors, Video,
If you picked Amanda Overmyer to be the first American Idoler with an exposed past - it’s time to cash up.
The National Enquirer has gone to the trouble of unearthing the singer’s checkered history with a lead foot. The Mulberry, Indiana native had already racked up a string of speeding violations prior to a DUI arrest back in October 2006. (She once hit 100 in a 45 mph zone.) The alcohol-related incident earned her a .108 breathalyzer score and six-hour stay in an Indiana jail. After pleading guilty, TMZ reports the singer received a suspended sentence has since completed her probation.
Making matters worse? The Enquirer also claims there are nude photos of her out there currently being shopped around. Awesome! If you were to add those two items to the 23-year-old’s criminal rendition of “Carry On My Wayward Son” last night, you could say she’s already hit the trifecta. (You can see that performance after the jump.)
The American Idol producers have yet to issue a comment. (I think they’re hoping the viewers will do them the favor of eliminating her first.)

Lindsay Lohan’s Night Out
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talent, Gossip, News,
Lindsay Lohan, who has a new movie coming out this summer, was arrested several hours ago in Santa Monica. The 21-year-old actress was recently released from rehab, but she was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and possible possession of cocaine, though this is unconfirmed. Allegedly, Lindsay was involved in a car chase with the mother of an assistant and refused a sobriety test at the scene of her arrest, on Main Street. Lohan has been booked on two counts of misdemeanor and two felonies (transportation and possession). Lohan was released early this morning after posting a twenty-five thousand dollar bond. There were no passengers in Lohan’s vehicle. This arrest comes on the heels of a DUI charge in Beverly Hills, where Lindsay reportedly turned herself in for Memorial Day events involving a hit-and-run.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested For Drugs And Alcohol AGAIN
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, News,
Wow. WOW. Who would have thought that Paris’ troubles could seem like a thing of the past??
Lindsay Lohan has graciously stepped up to the plate and ripped the troubled celebrity crown off the socialite’s head. After having recently finished her stint in rehab…after having voluntarily turned herself into police for her old Memorial Day weekend crash….after having sported an alcohol-monitoring bracelet for the past few days….Lindsay somehow managed to get in trouble again!!! Someone give that girl a statuette—because she definitely deserves an award.
Ms. Lohan was arrested THIS MORNING after driving in the Santa Monica area. TMZ reports that she blew
an in-station alcohol test (her results were approximately .12) and was also driving with a suspended license. Cocaine - surprise! - was later found in her pocket.
More details will obviously be coming throughout the day. Meanwhile, I will work on creating the Razzie award equivalent for simple celebrity idiocy. Feel free to suggest any award name suggestions my way.

American Idol Busted
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Boy, when those American Idols fall, they fall hard. The latest victim is Jessica Sierra, a top 12 finalist from the 2005 Idol run. She was arrested for felony battery charges and cocaine possession over the weekend in Florida. Apparently, she threw a glass at a male customer, then she was “belligerent” at the time of arrest. She was released Sunday afternoon on an $11,500 bond. Post-Idol, she’s faded from the spotlight… I’m sure this isn’t the sort of headline grabbing news she had hoped to earn, because this incident will do nothing for what little of a singing career she has left. She did have one overzealous fan, however, who was was arrested last year after stalking her.
