Erin Andrews' stalker, Michael David Barrett, was just sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Barrett -- who pled guilty in December to one count of interstate stalking -- has until noon on May 3 to turn himself in. Barrett also has to stay 100 yards away from Erin and her family at all times.
Barrett was accused of secretly videotaping Andrews while she was naked in multiple hotel rooms.
During a news conference after the hearing, Erin said she wished Barrett was sentenced to more time behind bars. She also said she considers Barrett a sexual predator.
Erin Andrews wants to leave the peephole incident behind for good -- and "Dancing with the Stars" is her ticket to doing it.
During an interview on WCNN Atlanta, Andrews said, "I need something new. I need something to make me happy, kind of change it up a bit, get excited about things again and I just thought that ["Dancing with the Stars"] would be a good way to forget about everything that had happened and maybe talk about something new with my life."
Andrews is partnered with pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy -- who reportedly blushed at the thought of dancing with the ESPN vixen.
ESPN has officially suspended "Pardon the Interruption" host Tony Kornheiser for 2 weeks -- after TK made "hurtful and personal comments" about a female SportsCenter anchor.
The drama began last week on Kornheiser's radio show -- when he commented on an outfit Hannah Storm wore during a recent SC broadcast, saying her "Catholic school plaid skirt" was "way too short for somebody" her age. He also claimed her tight shirt looked like a "sausage casing."
Yesterday, Kornheiser did not appear on PTI -- and now an ESPN executive VP of content John Skipper is finally offering an explanation: "Tony Kornheiser's comments about Hannah Storm were entirely inappropriate."
Skipper added, "Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences. Tony has been suspended from PTI for two weeks."
Kornheiser has already issued an apology on his radio show.
Erin Andrews wasn't the only woman targeted by her Peeping Tom -- the scumbag taped 16 other women and scoped out several more including celebrities, this according to new court documents.
It's all in papers filed yesterday in federal court in Los Angeles, by prosecutors hoping toconvince a judge to lock up Michael David Barrett for 27 months as punishment for surreptitiously taping the ESPN correspondent in her hotel room and posting it on the Internet.
In the docs, first obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, prosecutors claim Barrett "victimized approximately 16 other women in almost precisely the same way he victimized" Andrews -- and posted at least 32 "hotel peephole videos" to the web.
The docs also state that Barrett ran Internet background searches on 30 women, including "other female sports reporters, as well as other television personalities."
In the docs, prosecutors claim Andrews wants $335,558.27 in restitution from Barrett -- citing that she now suffers from "substantial emotional distress."
Chris Henry's fiancee claims the Cincinnati Bengals star "jumped" from the truck she was driving on that day he was fatally injured -- but he wasn't trying to kill himself.
Loleini Tonga finally opened up to ESPN's "Outside the Lines," saying "I think he thought maybe he was gonna land ... he was gonna land right?" She added, "He wouldn't want to be gone away from his kids."
When asked why she didn't just stop the car, Tonga explained, "I was gonna stop, but there was nowhere to stop on that road."
As TMZ first reported, Henry died on December 17 as a result of his injuries.
Erin Andrews' Peeping Tom won't be sentenced until February -- but if she had her way, Michael David Barrett would "never sees the light of day" for that scumbag move he pulled with a spy cam.
Andrews made the plea yesterday in court -- and drove the issue home for our camera last night at LAX before hopping onto a red eye.
Despite all the action that went down in court earlier in the day, Erin's head was still focused on the college football bowl games -- particularly, the BCS championship ... though she wussed out and refused to predict a winner.
The man who allegedly secretly filmed ESPN reporter Erin Andrews naked in various hotel rooms around the country just pleaded not guilty to one count of interstate stalking.
Michael Barrett's trial is set to start January 12. He faces a maximum sentence of 5 years in federal prison if convicted.
The man accused of using a spy cam to film Erin Andrews naked in her hotel room has been ordered to surrender his passport and his bail was jacked through the roof because the judge fears he could be a flight risk.
Michael David Barrett's bail was raised from $20,000 to $100,000 after Andrews' lawyer argued that Barrett had probably spent $20k following Erin around the country.
A judge also ruled that Barrett can only use his cell phone to talk -- no texting -- and he's only allowed to call immediate family members. He's also been put on house arrest and electronic monitoring.
Barrett posted the bail and is about to walk out of court.
The man who allegedly secretly filmed ESPN reporter Erin Andrews naked in various hotel rooms followed her around the country ... according to federal charging documents obtained by TMZ.
In the docs, the feds claim Michael Barrett called 7 hotels in Columbus, Ohio on January 28 and 29 of 2008, trying to find out where she would be staying. The documents officially charge Barrett with 1 count of interstate stalking.
After striking gold with the Columbus Hotel, Barrett got a room next door to her, altered the peephole device and secretly shot video of Andrews.
Barrett then used the Internet to send the video to his email account.
Fast forward to July. He called 14 hotels in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and found where she was staying there. Again, he checked in, altered the peephole device in her room and shot video.
Then again on September 2, Barrett called a hotel, located Andrews' reservation, requested the room next door and on September 4 he altered the peephole and shot video of Andrews naked.
The email he sent the video to -- handsfouryou@yahoo.com. He eventually sent TMZ the video but we did not post it.
The feds say Barrett then posted the videos on a Google video account calling the video, "Erin Andrews Naked Butt."
TMZ received a statement from Barrett's lawyer, saying, "Mr. Barrett would like to express his deep regret for the circumstances that have caused the issuance of the charges against him today. It is his sincere hope that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."
Reggie Jackson led the New York Yankees to two World Series wins and currently serves as the team's "special adviser" -- yet for some reason, he was hitting up a former Phillies player for tickets to last night's game!
We found Mr. October in front of his NY hotel where he tried begging onetime Philadelphia second baseman/current ESPN analyst Joe Morgan for a few extra tix.
UPDATE: ESPN is now saying they fired Brooke -- but they haven't given an official cause for termination yet.
The ESPN production assistant who exposed a secret relationship with ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips is officially out of a job at the sports network.
A rep from ESPN told the Associated Press that 22-year-old Brooke Hundley "doesn't work at ESPN anymore" --but it was unclear if she quit ... or if she got the chop.
Phillips was fired from his job last night, just a few days after he admitted to having the affair.
A rep for Phillips claims he's entering a treatment facility.
David Letterman he is not -- only a few days after news broke of ESPN analyst Steve Phillips' affair with a 22-year-old production assistant, he's out of a job.
An ESPN spokesperson said Phillips' ability to be an effective analyst was "significantly and irreparably damaged" -- so the sports network decided to give him the old heave-ho.
As we first reported, Steve's hookup Brooke Hundley filed for a restraining order against him one day after she dropped off a letter at his house explaining the affair -- which basically said they were meant to be together.
TMZ has learned Brooke Hundley filed for a restraining order against married ESPN analyst Steve Phillips ... just ONE DAY after she dropped a letter off at his house which basically said they were meant to be together.
In the document -- filed on August 20 in Connecticut -- Brooke claims while at a hotel back in July, Steve "bought me a strong drink and then cornered me ... trying to persuade me to come to his hotel suite to spend the night."
Brooke claims Steve called her hotel room until she agreed to see him, then "after the night he continued to text me on a regular basis with inappropriate things." Brooke says she "tried to get him to stop" but again agreed to meet up with him "a few times after work in the parking lot."
That line is extra interesting, because in the note Brooke left for Steve's wife the day before, she wrote, "I'm not just some random girl he had sex with in parking lots."
Brooke also claims Steve tried to ruin her career after word got out that they were sleeping together -- calling her a "slut" and saying he would get her fired if she spilled the beans to his wife.
Hundley withdrew the complaint September 15 -- that same day, she posted this on her Facebook page: "I've seen evil and he wears khaki pants and bright blue polos. Out of court, and back to basketball."
