Ryan Seacrest Fine After Stalker Incident
Originally posted 10/31/2009 03:00PM
Ryan Seacrest is "fine … happy"] according to his Twitter message after a restraining order went out Friday against a man arrested on suspicion of stalking the über-host.
Alleged stalker Chidi Uzomah, 25, remains in police custody on $150,000 bail under suspicion of felony stalking, say published reports. Uzomah already is on probation for another recent incident involving Seacrest, in which he reportedly attacked the star's security guard.
Armed with a folding knife, Uzomah allegedly entered the E! offices Friday in search of Seacrest, 34, who was not in the building at the time. Once apprehended by security, the suspect was arrested by LAPD.
A court hearing to determine whether to grant a three-year restraining order against Uzomah has been set for Nov. 17.

Simon Cowell – No Time For Obama
Originally posted 03/25/2009 02:00PM
Too busy for President Barack Obama? That's what Simon Cowell claimed on Monday's Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
"He wanted to have dinner, and our diaries didn't quite match," said the acerbic American Idol judge, 49. "He wanted to do eight [o'clock], I was free at nine. We didn't quite connect."
The remarks came four days after Obama appeared on the NBC late-night talk show and told Leno that since taking on the responsibilities of commander-in-chief he's found Washington, D.C., to be a lot like American Idol – and everyone is a Simon Cowell.
