Shannen Doherty: Doing 'Dancing' For Daddy

Shannen Doherty isn't waltzing around the set of "Dancing with the Stars" for her health -- but as part of a deal she made with her father.

Shannen Doherty
Shannen told Ryan Seacrest today on KIIS-FM: "My dad on Christmas had a massive stroke and he lost his ability to speak and a lot of his mobility ... I mentioned DWTS as a joke because I'm so nervous in front of a live audience, he got really excited and we struck a deal."

The terms: She works on her fear of a live audience on the show and he'll work on his "speech and mobility."

"DWTS" premieres tonight.

Seacrest: I Was Almost Heidi Montag's Husband

Ryan Seacrest said he was supposed to be the guy married to Heidi Montag ... in Adam Sandler's upcoming movie, at least.

Ryan Seacrest: Cilck to Listen!
In a radio interview with Jennifer Aniston -- who stars in the Sandler movie "Just Go with It" -- Ryan confesses that he was originally supposed to play the role of Heidi's husband, now filled by Kevin Nealon.

According to Ryan, he said he couldn't do it because the movie films in Hawaii and he's caught up with all that "American Idol" stuff in L.A.

According to Jennifer, Ryan really missed a great opportunity.

Ryan Seacrest Stalker Cops Plea

Ryan Seacrest's stalker, Chidi Uzomah, just pled no contest to felony stalking ... TMZ has learned.

Ryan Seacrest Stalker Cops Plea

Uzomah, who repeatedly hunted the "American Idol" host down and came close to him while armed with a knife, agreed in court to submit to a 3-month psychiatric evaluation at Chino State Prison in California.

As for prison time, we're told he could serve up to two years behind bars. And it's likely the judge will issue a criminal stay away order to keep Uzomah clear of Ryan Seacrest for the next 10 years.

People who worked on the case say the L.A. County Deputy D.A. assigned to the case, Wendy Segall, drove a hard bargain.

Four 'Idol' Contestants Sent Home

And then there were 20.

American Idol

On last night's "American Idol", the public voted and sent home Ashley Rodriguez, Tyler Grady, Janell Wheeler and Joe Munoz.

Before saying goodbye to the kids, Ryan Seacrest addressed the on set tension between Simon Cowell and new judge Ellen DeGeneres by asking Cowell why his critiques have been "harsher than normal" this week. Simon was dismissive and replied that it was "just a couple of people's thoughts."

A couple of people that aren't getting along.

'American Idol' Hooligan -- Cuffed and Released

American Idol arrestThe guy who was led out of "American Idol" in handcuffs on last night's show got a lucky break after the cameras stopped rolling -- producers let the guy off the hook.

TMZ has learned 28-year-old Jarrod Norrell -- who was manhandled by security when he refused to leave his audition -- was escorted out of the Orlando, Florida building ... but did not go to jail.

Cops tell TMZ, that at the request of "A.I." producers, Norrell only received a threat -- meaning that if he returned to the auditions he would have been arrested.

Fortunately, he never went back.

Adam Lambert: I Respect GMA's Decision, But ...

Adam Lambert takes issue with "Good Morning America" for pulling the plug on his post-AMA/mouth-to-crotch performance -- so he tells Ryan Seacrest.

Adam Lambert: Click to listen

Lambert's revenge is CBS's "The Early Show" -- which he'll appear on tomorrow.

As for having a guy "snorkel" in his crotch -- as Ryan put it on his radio show this AM -- Adam admits he got carried away, but he's "not a babysitter" and kids shouldn't have been watching TV that late anyway.

Seacrest Alleged Stalker Created Panic with Rifle

Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker -- Chidi Uzomah -- sent a Southern California college campus into panic last year when he walked around in camouflage holding what appeared to be an M16 rifle.

Chidi Uzomah

We've learned Uzomah had just finished training with the ROTC at Cal State Dominguez Hills on February 21, 2008. Instead of taking his camouflage off and putting his dummy rifle in a bag, he decide to parade around campus in full regalia, rifle in hand.

It set off a panic for nearly a half hour. Uzomah was not arrested. We're told several months after the incident, Uzomah was sent packing from ROTC -- we do not know what triggered the dismissal.

Uzomah -- who was twice caught with a knife in his pocket recently looking for Ryan Seacrest -- has been charged with felony stalking and several other crimes. He's currently in custody.

Seacrest's Stalker -- Big on The Club Scene

Just because Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker is 6'4" tall, an infantryman in the Army Reserves and known to attack bodyguards at will ... that doesn't mean the guy isn't scared of someone stealing his car.



TMZ obtained photos of Chidi Uzomah's car -- which he left behind at the E! building last week after he got arrested. The car was safe, though, because it was left under the watchful eye of the greatest anti-theft device ever conceived: The Club.

Also inside the car: A Thomas Guide opened up to a map of West Hollywood, clothes, a towel and a backpack full of books.

One law enforcement source says Uzomah shows signs of early schizophrenia, which often emerges in people around Uzomah's age -- 25.

Uzomah -- who showed up with a knife at the E! building where Ryan was doing his radio show -- is currently being held on $150,000 bail on felony stalking and other charges.
