Alleged Shawn Johnson Stalker Arrested

A man alleged to be a crazed fan of Olympian Shawn Johnson was arrested Tuesday near the set of Dancing with the Stars.

Police later found two loaded guns in the man's car.

Robert O'Ryan, 34, allegedly jumped a fence at CBS Studios in L.A. where the show was filming, but was caught by security.

Johnson's mother, Teri, requested and received a temporary restraining order from the L.A. Superior Court on Wednesday.

Approached by security while roaming the studio grounds, O'Ryan admitted he was attempting to meet Johnson, but after Johnson was contacted and said she didn't know O'Ryan, he changed his story and said he was there to meet Steve-O, according to court documents.

No one in Steve-O's group knew O'Ryan, either.

O'Ryan allegedly told LAPD that he had "packed all his belongings and permanently left Florida to drive out here to be with [Johnson]," Teri Johnson wrote in the request for a restraining order.

Among the disturbing items allegedly found in the man's car: A loaded shotgun, a loaded Colt .45 handgun and Johnson memorabilia."This incident has caused us severe emotional distress, we have been on the move ever since and have not been able to rest at all for fear that this disturbed person will attempt to make good on his statements and attempt to harm my daughter and possibly us as well," Teri Johnson added in the papers.

O'Ryan remains in police custody as of Wednesday. He has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Johnson, 17, not to communicate with her and not to harass her parents or dancing partner Mark Ballas.

Bail has been set at $35,000. Johnson's rep, Susan Madore, tells PEOPLE in a statement released Wednesday: "The matter has been turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. It is currently an ongoing investigation and we are confident that it will be handled appropriately by all involved."

Attempts to reach ABC were unsuccessful.

Valerie Bertinelli On The Cover Of People In A Bikini

The night before Valerie Bertinelli prepared to step out in public wearing a bikini – for the first time in nearly 30 years! – she found herself unable to sleep.

As her mind raced with insecurity ("I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?" the actress admits), Bertinelli tried to summon up a pep talk, telling herself, "What am I so afraid of? Come on – it's just a bathing suit!"

And yet as any woman knows, those innocent-looking strips of Lycra can be a terrifying sight – especially for someone just shy of her 49th birthday (April 23), who only two years ago tipped the scales at 172 lbs. – more than 40 lbs. over her goal weight for her 5'4" frame.

But after whittling herself down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months on Jenny Craig (for whom she serves as a company spokeswoman), Bertinelli, who had last worn a bikini when she was 20, was ready for a new challenge.

"I thought, If I'm so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!," Bertinelli says in the new PEOPLE, available on newsstands Friday.

And so – after about a year of exercising on her own while losing weight, primarily by walking 10,000 steps a day – she hired a personal trainer in December. Before long she was running up to five times a week. During what she calls the bikini "homestretch" – the last three weeks – she trimmed her daily caloric intake from 1,700 to around 1,200, and gave up her regular "splurge" glass of champagne.

"It was crunch time," she says, "like getting ready for your class reunion!" The result? Bertinell says she is now in the best shape of her life. "I never, ever, ever had deltoids!” she says. "Oh my God, when I'm doing exercises and I see them pop out, I'm like, Yes!"

American Idol Recap---Adam And Allison Shine; Megan Not So Much...

The performances were hit and miss—but the hits, starting with Matt Giraud's entreaty to get it on, were well worth sitting through a few duds.

Matt Giraud: It was hard not to take Matt seriously when he implored, "Let's Get It On." The 23-year-old with the surprising falsetto chops, already praised in the past for having serious soul, had Paula and Kara swaying in their seats with his sultry homage to Marvin Gaye. Paula liked the "sexy, cool vibe" he was putting out there, while Simon called it "a brilliant choice of song."

Kris Allen: Well, Kris has more soul than we thought. Guitar in hand, he gave "How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You" his signature troubadour treatment, turning the Marvin Gaye favorite on its pop-song head. And he didn't hide behind that guitar, either—he hit a hell of a high note at the end. "You did everything right on that performance," Kara said, though Simon advised Kris to seize his inner star—"You've got to be conceited," the Brit encouraged.

Scott MacIntyre: Scott sped up the dentist's-waiting-roomc act with the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love," which if it didn't further prove his vocal prowess certainly proved his giftedness as a pianist. But Simon didn't even like the piano playing. "Actually, it was a bit cheap, the whole thing," the he complained, while Randy confirmed that "nothing great happened."

Megan Joy: The magic of Megan may have run out "For Once in My Life." While she usually has a way of finagling a song to suit her unconventional pipes, most of tonight's performance just sounded wrong. The Jean DuShon/Stevie Wonder tune was way too big for her voice, which is more suited to intimate, velvet-lined cabaret halls with tiny tables and still-smoking ashtrays. "Dude, that song was a train wreck for me," Randy, the biggest Stevie purist of the bunch, said, while Paula confirmed that Megan "didn't find the pocket." Which we think means that she never found her comfort zone.

Anoop Desai: The fan favorite's take on the Miracles' "Ooo Baby Baby" was a little low on outward energy, but he apparently was saving all his oomph to hit those sweet falsetto notes and keep the wide-ranging love song under control. Sure enough, Simon complained that Anoop seemed half asleep during the performance, but he agreed that it was a great vocal.

Michael Sarver: At least the oil rig roughneck wasn't too proud to work the audience while turning in an average vocal on "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Michael's strong, meaty voice is well-suited to the Temptations' sound, but his performance wasn't much better than a rousing turn in front of a packed bar on karaoke night. It was "a little old Las Vegas-loungey," according to Paula, while Simon told him, "You have no chance of winning based on that type of vocal."

Lil Rounds: Sure enough, Motown was more of an inspiration for Lil than the Grand Ole Opry. The 23-year-old, embodying Martha and the Vandellas tore into "Heat Wave" and never let go as her booming voice zigged and zagged between chest, throat and a few places in between. But the judges (except Paula) didn't think the song was right for her. Kara thought she was "screaming in parts," and Simon is still waiting for the obviously talented singer to "have a moment."

Adam Lambert: Adam followed in Smoky's footsteps and a lit a fire with "The Tracks of My Tears," performing it alongside a string trio and entirely in a high register that made the 1965 hit new and, most importantly, hot. Is that "the moment" Simon was talking about? "The best performance of the night," Simon, who hated what Adam did to "Ring of Fire" last week, said. "You were able to sum up everything we've were trying to say tonight about originality, choosing a great song, being a relevant recording artist, and it also shows what a brilliant songwriter Smoky is…You, tonight, really have emerged to me as a star—congratulations."

Danny Gokey: Better than Michael Sarver, but still verging on karaoke, despite a technically really nice vocal. Danny's voice, as it successfully ran the gamut from low to high on "Get Ready," was perfectly recordable and listenable, but there wasn't much originality in the performance. Randy dug "the energy and the feeling of it," but Simon thought it was "clumsy and amateurish."

Allison Iraheta: How old is this girl, really? Another musical tale of bittersweet fascination and ruefulness—in this case, the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone—and another down 'n' dirty performance by 16-year-old Allison. Her raspy voice was at its most powerful and she fully rebounded from a surprise appearance in the bottom three last week. "You sing like you've been singing for 400 years!" raved Kara. "That is from God—you can't teach that!"

Guest mentor Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder both perform on Thursday's elimination show, during which Idol will enter single digits after yet another aspiring star gets the boot.

Natasha Richardson Organs Are Donated

Natasha Richardson was known for her charitywork, so it's no surprise the actress' organs were donated to those in need after she suffered a fatal epidural hematoma after a skiing accident last week.

Liam Neeson and the rest of Natasha's family made the decision to donate her organs to waiting transplant patients, insiders tell the New York Post.

"Doctors spent six hours harvesting all her organs," said a source. "Some patient is going to wake up in the recovery room and start reciting Shakespeare."

The Broadway star suffered a severe head injury after while learning to ski in Canada on March 16. Doctors later determined she was brain-dead and she was flown to New York so that family and friends could say goodbye.

Octomom Is In More Trouble--Apparently Endangering Children

On Wednesday's Today show, Gloria Allred -- an attorney for Angels in Waiting, which had provided a free nanny service to Nadya Suleman -- lashed at the octuplet mother, claiming she only cares about her babies "when the cameras are rolling."

Earlier this week, Suleman, 33, fired Angels in Waiting, alleging that they were spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials.

"Nadya, unfortunately, is taking things out of context," Allred said on the Today show. "The whole issue is an issue of security. Our nurses were rightfully concerned about security. After all, Nadya had told the world where she lives, when those babies are coming home. As a result, hundreds of reporters came. Her home is easily locatable on the Internet as a result of her doing daily blogs."

Allred said two intruders even came onto her property in La Habra, Calif.

"In one case, she had one of our nannies call 911 to report the intruder because she was concerned she had done too many 911 calls," she said, adding that in a separate incident, another nurse was allowed into Suleman's home without showing any identification.

A "baby could be abducted," Allred said, but Suleman didn't seem to care.

"Instead of improving security, she puts in her own jacuzzi," Allred said.

Despite Suleman's objections, nurses from Angels in Waiting rightfully made three complaints to Child Protective Services against Suleman, Allred said.

"Nurses are mandated reporters under the law," she said. "If a nurse sees a child is endangered... they are legally required to report that to authorities."

Asked if Suleman's babies are in danger, Allred said, "In the nurses' view, yes. That is why they filed three reports."

Allred, who plans to hold a press conference later today, said she and the nurses wanted Suleman to succeed.

"How can she succeed if she is subjecting her babies to potential risks of harm, if she doesn't come into the nursery to feed her own babies, to hold them, to bathe them, to change them, to love them, to bond with them.... except when the cameras are rolling?" Allred asked. "That's wrong."

Brad Pitt And Natalie Portman To Star Together In Romantic Comedy

The stars of usually serious fare like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Other Boleyn Girl are coupling up for the funnybone-targeting 'Important Artifacts."

Based on an upcoming novel, the story unfolds via a Sotheby's-style estate auction catalog, in which items on the block are linked to the private moments that make up the four-year relationship between a fortysomething photographer and a twentysomething New York Times food columnist.

According To Variety, Portman and Pitt will also serve as producers.

Portman is slated to next headline Jim Sheridan's drama "Brothers" after she wraps the comedy "Love and Other Pursuits."

Pitt, meanwhile, just wrapped Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic, "Inglourious Basterds", and Terence Malick's "The Tree of Life."

It Looks Like "Little Fockers" Movie Is A Go

Fans of "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" can get excited, as it looks like a third film is on to film this summer.

I'm told the cast of "Little Fockers" -- sequel to "Meet the Fockers" -- has been set for an early July start date.

This means everyone -- Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner.

It also means Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who played Stiller's parents in chapter two are being paged for the next edition.

The title suggests more than one baby for Stiller and Polo's characters.

No word when "Little Fockers" would come out or if Barbra Streisand if definitely in.

Robert Pattinson Thinks About Taking On New Role

Twilight star Robert Pattinson reportedly is mulling over getting involoved in a hot-blooded romance with a script rewritten by the screenwriter behind Rachel Getting Married.

Memoirs is about new lovers who may or may not get together as they're both beset by family tragedy.

The film, from an original screenplay, is being handled by Summit Entertainment, the same studio behind 22-year-old Pattinson's first vampire flick and its eagerly awaited coming sequel, New Moon.

Also in talks to helm the movie is Allen Coulter, who directed Hollywoodland.

Dancing With Stars Says Goodbye To Denise Richards

Who deserved the boot Tuesday on Dancing With the Stars?

As it turned out, it was elimination with a capital E! Tuesday, with the title star of Denise Richards: It's Complicated being forced into a dance-off with The Girls Next Door babe Holly Madison. (E! Online and E! Entertainment are both divisions of Comcast Entertainment Group.)

We doubt the 18 she and Dmitry Chaplin earned on tonight's samba redo was enough to redirect any momentum, but Holly survived nonetheless, taking her one extra point all the way to next week.

So, despite improving upon last night's samba by four points to climb into the realm of week-three respectability with a 20, that was it for Denise and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

"My daughters love my dancing," said the smiling actress, who graciously opted to look on the bright side. "It's been fun, I'm a huge fan of the show and I will continue to be so, and it's fun being on the other side."

Her ouster (and Holly's close call) means that America put the whoa in Wozniak by voting to keep Steve "Laid the Foundation for the iPhone" Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff around for another week despite their lowest-of-the-low score of 10 on their samba.

"I am more shocked than at any time in my life except maybe when I got served with divorce papers," the relentlessly jolly Apple Computer cofounder said.

They weren't even in the bottom two, despite the judges' best efforts: "The novelty wears off at some point," Carrie Ann Inaba said Monday, while Bruno Tonioli advised Steve-W to get on his knees and "beg forgiveness."

Also given the go-ahead were the Pee-wee Herman-channeling Steve-O and his partner, Lacey Schwimmer, who has at least one more week to whip her broken-down daredevil into fighting shape.

Easily safe for the time being were the trio of couples who tied for first place after earning 27s for their respective performances—Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke, and Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas.

Zac Efron Pulls Out Of "Footloose" Remake

Footloose is now Zac Efron-free.

The teen dream has shimmied out of his role in the long-gestating remake of the classic '80s musical.

Efron was star in the film but supposedly pulled out of the project to avoid what was fast becoming a typecasting issue—to date, the Disney grad has sung and danced his way through three High School Musicals, Hairspray and even the Oscars.

"Footloose is a project we've longed to see rebooted for a new generation," Paramount Pictures said in a statement. "While Zac in no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [HSM turned Footloose director] Kenny Ortega, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who will reinvigorate the franchise.

"Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we've come to expect from them."

While Efron has yet to publicly address his reasons for dropping out of the project he has been attached to since July 2007, his move came after the most recent rewrite of the remake's script.

Efron told Paramount he didn't want to do another musical at this point in his musical-heavy career.

There's no word yet on a possible replacement for Efron, and it's unclear if the film is still on schedule for its planned 2010 release.

Twilight Stars (And Co-Stars) Deny Romance

With the filming of New Moon under way in Vancouver, the newest batch of Robert Pattinson and Kristin Steward romance rumors should start rolling out any day now.

Even though the two laugh off the persistent claims of a real-life love affair, that hasn't stopped many from thinking otherwise.

So what's really going on? Their costars have some ideas…

Edi Gathegi, who plays Laurent, tells me the cast and crew have pretty much ignored the gossip.

"I can't even think of those two together at all," he told me during his recent stop in Los Angeles for the launch of Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight: Director's Notebook. "Kristen has a boyfriend! It's onscreen and that's it."

Ashley Greene, aka Alice Cullen, says Pattinson and Stewart are, in a way, victims of their own success.

"Their chemistry is fantastic, but no, they are not in a romantic relationship," Greene said at the Twilight at Midnight DVD launch event at Hollywood's Hot Topic store. "They are good actors [is] basically what it comes down to."

She added, "That's kind of the advantage that we had on Twilight. Everyone has such great chemistry. With as big a cast as it was, and as young a cast as it was, we all just got along so fantastically."

And it sounds like all that feel-good camaraderie is already spilling over into New Moon.

Greene said the cast is already getting in some bonding time off the clock. Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire patriarch Dr. Carlisle Cullen, recently had everyone over for dinner.

"He cooked pasta for all of us," Greene said. "We all came to his house and ate and drank and talked. It's a bizarre thing, because we kind of all looked at each other and were like, 'Sooo, what's your life been like?' It was fun."

Dancing With Stars Rundown

It's a dog-eat-dog world on the dance floor but at least they finally had equal amounts of practice time—five days. Check out how the so-called level playing field treated the contestants tonight:

Denise Richards: Maksim Chmerkovskiy went so far as to dress in drag to prep Denise for the sexy fun of the samba, knowing the actress needed to get not-so-serious in order to really excel. Unfortunately, the It's Complicated star's head got the best of her body once again, and it looked more like Tom Petty leading a dead Kim Basinger around in the 'Last Dance With Mary Jane" video. "That was so flat and full of holes it was more a waffle than a samba," went Bruno Tonioli's first metaphor of the night.Score: 16. A five-point drop from last week.

Chuck Wicks: Forced to actually dance this week after being criticized for letting his girlfriend's hips do all the talking, Wicks apparently decided he didn't want to spend another night in the doghouse and got serious. The tuxedoed country singer matched Julianne Hough step for step, give or take some posture problems. We're not sure if that was a great fox-trot, but it sure was adorable.Score: 23. Their best yet.

Holly Madison: Now introducing, Samba Barbie. Holly gamely strutted and shimmied—no small feat, there—alongside partner Dmitry Chaplin, but their samba lacked sizzle and ultimately fell apart at the seams. Carrie Ann Inaba called it "rough to watch," while Len Goodman compared the Girls Next Door star to a match—"hot at the top, wooden at the bottom."Score: 17. Their lowest yet.

Steve-O: The Jackass star unsurprisingly steered far clear of the sort of tricks that landed him in the ER last week. You couldn't help but smile during his fox-trot, considering how happy the bowtie-sporting daredevil seemed to be back, but maybe Lacey Schwimmer shouldn't have gone so easy on him in rehearsal. A massive footwork flub really took the wind out of his sails in the dance's second half, and both Steve-O and Lacey looked on the verge of tears as they stood before the judges—who all applauded his effort but could only dole out so many points.Score: 15. Better than last week's command dress rehearsal, anyway.

Lawrence Taylor: There's just something about watching these football players shake it samba-style. The retired linebacker pulled off his best dance yet, though he still seemed to be holding back a bit—maybe he can't quite come to terms with the graceful twist his gridiron career has taken. "There's a twinkle in your eye," Carrie Ann noted happily, while Tom Bergeron promised that Edyta Sliwinska would wear the other half of tonight's outfit next week.Score: 20. Hmph. The judges comments indicated he was going to get better.

Shawn Johnson: The little gymnast is growing up before our eyes! The third time was really the charm for Shawn and Mark Ballas, who—in addition to the steps—have the chemistry thing down like nobody's business. Not that their previous two performances weren't also great, but this time the shock of "sexy Shawn" was behind us and we could focus on just how elegant these two are.Score: 27. Deservedly so.

Gilles Marini: Well, what did you expect? Gilles was destined to dance the samba, wasn't he? Let's just say, there was no problem with hip action there. "You bring out something in Cheryl [Burke] I haven't seen in a long time," Carrie Ann said, astutely pointing out the difference between dancing with Gilles and dancing with Wayne Newton. "You came out here like a throbbing red, hot poker!" a really excited Bruno said, while Len offered this bit of simple praise: "You just made a hard dance look easy."Score: 27. Duh.

David Alan Grier: It was ballroom or bust for Grier, who had to decide whether he wanted to be a showman or a real contender. But tonight he proved he can do a little of both. The In Living Color comedian fox-trotted out rhythm and flexibility—whoa, high kicks!—we hadn't yet seen, and he cut quite the rug with Kym Johnson. "Two snaps up," raved former Fly Girl Carrie An.Score: 24. A whopping seven-point improvement from last week.

Steve Wozniak: Maybe it's knowing that the billionaire entrepreneur is dancing on a wounded paw or that he can't possibly be long for the Dancing world, but Steve-W was really endearing tonight. In fact, we—who are usually very impatient with this sort of "pure entertainment" shenanigan—are going to have to say that the judges were a little hard on him. Yeah, it was lacking in overall quality, but it was more fun to watch then some.Score: 10. A bit of a hatchet job.

Melissa Rycroft: There she goes again on her own. The former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader (Why, what else is she famous for?) dazzled and delighted once again with tonight's fox-trot. Memo to Tony Dovolani: Carrie Ann doesn't want to see Melissa rest on her laurels—"I just want to see you challenge yourself just a little bit more," the judge said. Bruno, however, said it seems as if "the music plays from [her] body."Score: 27. There apparently isn't too much missing from the overall package.

Lil Kim: We are really digging Lil Kim in this competition. Other than some questionable facial expressions, she wore that samba like a second skin. Len criticized Derek Hough for straying from the fundamentals of samba a bit, but he made sure to praise Kim for her "bionic booty." "You are a pocket-size Venus with a super-size sex appeal!" Bruno growled.Score: 25. Their best yet, and Bruno offered up their first 9.

Ty Murray: That was a switch—it was pro Chelsie Hightower who hit a rough patch, slipping during the first few seconds of the duo's fox-trot. Like the southern gent he is, Ty helped her right up without batting an eye and the rest of the performance went off without a hitch. What an improvement from week one, when Jewel's hubby looked more like a timid steer that had been roped into a dancing contest. Bruno praised Chelsie for carving "a mini Fred Astaire" out of a piece of wood.Score: 23. Only three points higher than last week, but a world away from how they began.
