Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato are dating -- though it took 'em a little while to finally admit they had feelings for each other.
Jemi was on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show today, where Demi said "I think being best friends for a while, over time, feelings grow and, as much as I wanted to deny it, the feelings were always there."
The two met filming 2007's "Camp Rock" -- and just filmed a sequel.

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 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.

Ryan Seacrest said he was supposed to be the guy married to Heidi Montag ... in Adam Sandler's upcoming movie, at least.
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's stalker, Chidi Uzomah, just pled no contest to felony stalking ... TMZ has learned.
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.

And then there were 20.
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.

The 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.

Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker has been ordered to stand trial for his alleged menacing actions toward the "American Idol" host.

Uzomah was charged with felony stalking and disobeying two court orders -- both misdemeanors.
He's due back in court on Feb 2.

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.
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.

Ryan Seacrest's lawyer was in court today to ask for a permanent restraining order against Chidi Uzomah -- the man who has allegedly been stalking her client.
Attorney Blair Berk went solo in court today -- Ryan wasn't there -- and here's what went down:
UPDATE 9:14 AM PT: The judge just granted the restraining order, ordering Uzomah to stay 100 yards away from Seacrest for three years. He was also ordered not to have contact -- direct or indirect -- with Ryan.
Chidi remains in custody -- he's been charged with felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a prior court order.
UPDATE 9:12 AM PT: The judge has read Ryan's declaration and feels Chidi Uzomah's actions were fairly frightening.
UPDATE 8:58 AM PT: It begins! The judge is on the bench.

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.
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.

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.

Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker had some ominous words about his trip to E! last week.
Law enforcement sources tell us, during their interview with Chidi Uzomah, he told cops, "I felt like I was meant to see someone."
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.

Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker Chidi Uzomah just pled not guilty to one felony stalking charge and two misdemeanor charges of disobeying a court order.
The judge granted a protective order for Seacrest -- which states Uzomah must stay 500 yards away from the "American Idol" host. His bail was set at $150,000.
Uzomah is accused of stalking Seacrest between September 15 and October 30 -- the day he was arrested at the E! building where Ryan does a daily radio and TV show.
Uzomah pled guilty to three misdemeanors back in September after he choked Ryan's bodyguard outside of a hospital in Orange County.
If convicted of the new charges, Uzomah faces a maximum of four years in state prison.
He's due back in court on November 16.
