Internet rumors surfaced Wednesday that the 45-year-old actress’ husband, celebrity motorcycle builder and reality-TV star Jesse James, had been unfaithful while she was making her Oscar-winning film. Bullock subsequently canceled a planned appearance next week at the London premiere of “The Blind Side,” citing “unforeseen personal reasons.”


On Thursday, James apologized to his wife and three children from previous relationships through a statement issued to People magazine and later obtained by The Associated Press.

“It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way,” he said. “This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them.”

He added that “the vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded,” but offered no other details, saying, “Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.”

Representatives for Bullock did not respond to calls and e-mails seeking comment Thursday. A receptionist at James’ motorcycle shop, West Coast Choppers in Long Beach, Calif., said James was not expected at the shop on Thursday. Later in the day, James returned home to the couple’s oceanfront home in nearby Huntington Beach without speaking to assembled journalists.

Throughout Hollywood’s lengthy award season, there was no indication of domestic strife as the couple appeared happily arm-in-arm while Bullock racked up the accolades.

She called her husband “sexy” as she accepted her Screen Actor’s Guild award. Backstage, he held her purse as she spoke to reporters.

At the Golden Globes, Bullock told James from the stage, her voice cracking with emotion: “There’s no surprise that my work got better when I met you. Because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back.”

Things were different at the Academy Awards.

Bullock did not thank her husband, who appeared teary-eyed on camera as she accepted her award. Instead she thanked mothers and parents everywhere - including a poignant tribute to her own mother - along with her fellow nominees and “everyone who’s shown me kindness when it wasn’t fashionable.”

Still, Bullock and James, 40, walked hand-in-hand down Oscar’s red carpet, celebrated together at the parties afterward and were photographed outside a Long Beach burger joint the next day.

The actress and the “Monster Garage” star met in 2003 and married in 2005. Initially deemed an odd match by some - she’s the girl next door, he’s a tattooed bad-boy - the couple stayed blissfully out of the public eye while continuing their individual successes.

Bullock had dated actors, including Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Gosling, and was engaged to Tate Donovan, but her marriage to James is her first. James had been married twice before and is in an ongoing dispute with his most recent ex-wife over custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Sunny.

Bullock has said she loves James’ children as though they were her own and that the eldest, Chandler, selected her regal Oscar gown.

Donald Trump isn’t firing “The Celebrity Apprentice,” but he’s bringing back the regular edition of the show with 14 ordinary job-hunters plagued by the economic crisis.

NBC and Trump said Wednesday they want to put America back to work with the show, which is expected to air this fall.


The original civilian version of “The Apprentice” premiered in 2004, then two years ago was replaced by the “Celebrity Apprentice” format.

“But since the economy went down the tubes, people have been saying, ‘Would it be possible to bring back the original?” Trump said. “In a way, it’s more important now than when we first did it.”

Trump’s revived “Apprentice” will recruit candidates who have lost their jobs, are stuck with jobs they don’t like just to get by or have finished college with no offers in sight.

The only common denominator: “Everybody has to be smart,” Trump said. “They all have to have brain power.”

Taping begins this summer.

The winner will land a position with one of Trump’s companies, as in the original. But there will be an added twist each week for every candidate who hears Trump’s dreaded words “You’re fired” in the board room.

“Instead of just sending them off in a cab, I’m going to sit and talk to them about their future - give them a little advice,” Trump said.

The current season of “The Celebrity Apprentice” premiered Sunday and is expected back for another run in spring 2011.

She writes music primarily in the light pop-rock, dance, and R&B genres. DioGuardi has worked with Adam Lambert, Anastacia, Miley Cyrus, Katharine McPhee, Kelly Clarkson, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul, Pink, Cobra Starship, Carrie Underwood, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Demi Lovato, Faith Hill, Amanda Overmyer, Jason Derülo and many other artists and is credited on over 120 album releases.


She is also a judge on American Idol, having joined the show in its eighth season and is now working with its winner, Kris Allen. DioGuardi currently serves as Executive Vice President of Talent Development, Office of the Chairman for Warner Bros. Records, where she was appointed in 2008 and has signed hit makers Jason Derulo and Iyaz.

DioGuardi has a songwriting catalog of several hundred songs, of which over 279 have been released on major labels worldwide, and over 169 have appeared on multi-platinum selling albums. She has had nearly 50 international charting singles over the course of her career, and her songs have helped propel 58 albums into the Top Ten of the Billboard 200. Her songs have been featured in major motion pictures, television shows, film soundtracks, and radio spots, as well as national and international commercial campaigns.

She collaborated with Christina Aguilera on her album Back To Basics in 2006, co-writing 12 of the 13 tracks on disc one of the album, among them being “Ain’t No Other Man”, and “Back in the Day”.

In 2007, DioGuardi worked with many notable artists, one of which was Britney Spears. DioGuardi wrote and produced two songs (”Ooh Ooh Baby” and “Heaven on Earth”) on Spears’ album Blackout.

In 2008, DioGuardi co-wrote Believe in Me with up-coming Disney star Demi Lovato and wrote The Middle, both featured on Lovato’s debut album Don’t Forget

Since last season’s American Idol Season 8, Kara returned to songwriting and producing. Her work has paid off as she’s enjoying a host of new hits from a diverse group of artists including Pink’s “Sober,” Kelly Clarkson’s “I Do Not Hook Up,” Cobra Starship ft./ Leighton Meester “Good Girls Go Bad,” Katharine McPhee’s ” Had It All” and Theory of a Deadman’s “Not Meant to Be” among other new releases.

Among DioGuardi’s notable recent projects is the song “Not Meant To Be”, which appears on Theory of a Deadman’s 2008 album, Scars & Souvenirs.[14] DioGuardi co-wrote the song with lead singer Tyler Connolly, and is also featured as the love interest in the music video which was released on March 10, 2009. This was her debut in the music video industry.

DioGuardi also wrote and sang the backup vocals for Demi Lovato’s song “The Middle” for her first album, Don’t Forget and co-wrote “Behind Enemy Lines” with Lovato for the album’s re-release. Lovato also confirmed via Twitter that she co-wrote a track with DioGuardi for the soundtrack of Lovato’s new movie Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

In 2009, she co-wrote a song called “Temporary” with Nick Lachey and producer Mitch Allan for Lachey’s upcoming CD, Coming Up for Air; the two recorded it as a duet.Kara also co-wrote a song called “What If” with Ashley Tisdale for Guilty Pleasure, Ashley’s latest album.
[edit] Music publishing

DioGuardi co-owns Arthouse Entertainment, a publishing company that is a resource business for record companies and other music entities seeking compositions, productions, artists, and related music services. Arthouse has been a part of many chart-topping hits including Cassie’s “Me & U” (written and produced by Ryan Leslie), Jim Jones’ “We Fly High” (produced by Zukhan Bey), Nick Lachey’s “What’s Left of Me”, David Archuleta’s single “Crush” (written and produced by Eman Kiriakou), Mika’s “Grace Kelly”, OneRepublic’s “Apologize” and “Stop and Stare” (all produced by Greg Wells), Faith Hill’s “Lost” (written and produced by Kara DioGuardi and Mitch Allan), “Sober” by P!nk, “Pieces of Me” by Ashlee Simpson, and “He Could Be The One” by Miley Cyrus.
[edit] Reality television

In July 2006, DioGuardi was a judge in an “Idol”-like TV show called The One: Making a Music Star. The show debuted on ABC with the second-lowest rating ever for a premiere on a major American network and was abruptly canceled after just two weeks.

She joined the hit Fox television show American Idol as a fourth judge for the show’s eighth season, and appeared in the season finale in a bikini to sing alongside contestant Katrina Darrell, better known as “Bikini Girl”, who had appeared during the audition rounds.

She has returned to Idol for its ninth season.[19] She has had Idol connections in the past: in 2000, DioGuardi and former Idol judge Paula Abdul co-wrote the UK number-one single “Spinning Around”, performed by Kylie Minogue. She has written many songs sung by Idol winners and alumni such as Kelly Clarkson, Allison Iraheta, David Archuleta, Carrie Underwood, Diana DeGarmo, Katharine McPhee, Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, and Adam Lambert. She co-wrote the American Idol season 8 single, No Boundaries, which was performed by both finalists during the competition.

The song “No Boundaries” was dropped from the set list of the American Idol tour. She also co-wrote with Jason Reeves a song called “Terrified” for Katharine McPhee’s album Terrified”[21], which was covered by Didi Benami, an American Idol contestant from Season 9, during Hollywood week.
Awards and nominations

In 2003, DioGuardi won a BMI Cable Award for co-writing and performing, Somethin’ To Say, the theme to the now-canceled Lifetime Television series For the People, which starred Lea Thompson, Debbi Morgan, A. Martinez and Cecilia Suarez. Kara has been awarded 11 BMI Awards for having co-written the most performed songs on the radio. One of the industry’s most highly sought after songwriters and producers, DioGuardi’s songs have appeared on records that have sold more than 100 million copies combined.

In 2007, DioGuardi was nominated for a Latin Grammy in the category of Song of the Year for her writing on the Belinda single, “Bella Traición” along with co-writers Belinda, Ben Moody, Nacho Peregrin and producer Mitch Allan. In November 2007, Kara was awarded the TAXI A&R award for Humanitarian of the Year at their annual Road Rally Convention.[

Michael Lynche
Song: “Miss You”
Verdict: Disco Ducky
Big Mike is coming off the deafening buzz from last week’s gender-bending “This Woman’s Work,” so obviously he was going to pick a song from the Stones’ Some Girls album. It was smart for an R&B dude to take the Rolling Stones disco tune, though I’m not so sure it was smart to inject said song with Michael Jackson grunts, sing the words “I want to kiss you” to a pit of 14-year-old girls and jump around like a giant bear being swarmed by bees. But his voice cut through the full band arrangement, so points there. And his pre-performance package made him even more likeable, as if that were even possible. Take a cute baby (watch your backs, Babysox and Baby Garcia), a supportive munchkin of a wife, a deceased mom who inspired Mike to take up music and put them in a magic pink blender operated by a koala and BAM - you get a smoothie of precious. (And that’s precious, not “Precious.” The “Precious” smoothie ingredients include stolen fried chicken and Mariah Carey’s mustache.) When Simon called out Big Mike’s dance moves as being “corny” and “desperate,” Seacrest got all in Cowell’s face, to which Simon sniffed, “We can sort this out in my trailer afterwards if that’s what you like.” Hahahomophobia! [Crickets.]

Didi Benami
Song: “Play With Fire”
Verdict: Smokin’ Hot
Didi debuted a new look for Rolling Stones week: A stank-faced Jersey mallrat from the ’80s! Go back and check out at her outfit again, folks. The ponytail pulled to one side, the lacey tank top with weathered jeans, the angry “Don’t you dare buy the same fuschia prom dress from Contempo Casuals as me” snarl. The girl was one scrunchie and two cans of AquaNet away from being Kevin Smith’s childhood girlfriend.


I don’t mean to take away from her ferocious performance. “Play With Fire” gave Didi an exciting edge that had been missing from the emotional crooner. Too bad she got all “Nell” on the third verse, singing, “Old burp tooka diamonds and tiaras by the score. Now he Tourette’s a kicks in snidney, knocks bridge alamore!” Can you blame her for getting distracted? While she was performing with an intensity that burned through my TV screen, the audience swayed like they were part of a Time Life “Songs 4 Worship” commercial. Ugh! (Also ugh: When Benami pretty much hiccuped during the final note. No wonder Mommy Benami is too nervous to watch her daughter sing live.)

After the judges gave Didi rave reviews, Seacrest asked if Siobhan, her roommate, was rubbing off on her. (Imagine if he had asked Kris the same question about his roomie, Adam. The “Idol” Internet would have exploded.) Didi insisted that she has grown some tough skin from living in Los Angeles. This tough skin grew in a week’s time, because during the semi-finals Didi was acting like another Rolling Stones song: “19th Nervous Breakdown.”

Casey James
Song: “It’s All Over Now”
Verdict: It Might Be Over
Casey James’ pre-performance package was so over-the-top that my buddies Kenny and Brendan instantly direct messaged me: “Lilly Tomlin to play Casey James’ mother in the made for TV movie ‘Touched in Texas: The Cool Boy Has Seizures.’” I can’t top that. I won’t even try.

You know who else won’t bother trying? Casey James. “It’s All Over Now” - a song written by Bobby and Shirley Womack and merely covered by the Rolling Stones, which makes Seacrest’s “singing from the Jagger/Richards songbook” assertion a boldfaced lie - goofily smiled through the country-rock tune (when he wasn’t looking down at his guitar to make sure he wasn’t messing up). Like Big Mike, Casey sounded better than he looked. Randy compared him to Jonny Lang, Ellen made a failed lesbian joke, Kara called him a rock star and Simon called it an “audition performance.” Guess which judge didn’t make me roll my eyes?

Lacey Brown
Song: “Ruby Tuesday”
Verdict: Farewell Wednesday
I haven’t kept my love for Lacey Brown much of a secret. Her audition and Hollywood week performances were two of my faves this season. But the ease she displayed in those has been sorely missing from her live performances. The daughter of a pastor (who belongs to a church with “Victory” in the name, ironically) keeps pushing her fragile voice to squeaky places. Lacey used to coo, but nerves are making her squawk. And, as Ellen pointed out, the stylish redhead made the odd decision to plop down on the edge of the stage for the final section of “Ruby Tuesday,” just as the full band kicked in and the song got heavy. It’s commendable that Brown went with a string-quartet arrangement for this song (a song, by the way, that always makes me think of a salad bar), but her forced vocals made me long for an instrumental version. Sorry, Lacey, but Simon is right: You’re over-thinking to dangerous levels.

Andrew Garcia
Song: “Gimme Shelter”
Verdict: Pitchy Fingers
Andrew’s sweet father made a return appearance on the show. He’s still crying. His wife is still mute. But Tuesday, we found out Papa Garcia thought Andrew would grow up to be a custodian because he collected keys.

Unfortunately, his son never found the key to “Gimme Shelter.” Between his blustery delivery and uncomfortable mic-stand fondling (my Twitter follower LeeLeeMoss astutely said Andrew looked like he was delivering a coat/hat stand and didn’t know where to put it), Garcia’s performance was depressing, made all the more sad when Ellen blurted out, “What do I know? I think it was your best performance yet!” Good question, Ellen! (Better question: What are you doing on this show again?) At the very least, Andrew was finally likeable during his post-performance critiques (which, aside form Ellen, were not positive).

Katie Stevens
Song: “Wild Horses”
Verdict: To The Glue Factory!
And now an “Idol” multiple choice question: What was the most awkward thing about Katie Stevens’ segment?

A: Katie saying, “I have no other choice but to be old” when talking about the Rolling Stones songbook?
B: Katie switching into “Idol” coronation single language when explaining why she chose “Wild Horses”? (”It speaks to me in this moment. This is my time! This is what I really want to do!”)
C: The footage of Katie singing “From This Moment On” with her brother at a wedding?
D: The way producers over-lit Katie at the top of the performance, making her hair look stringy and gray, and backlighting every drop of spittle coming from her mouth? (That’s a way to age down a contestant: Special lighting effects to highlight white hair and drool!)
E: The fact that Katie picked a Rolling Stones song made famous again by the world’s most beloved memaw?

The answer is all of the above. And your prize is a map of the United States. You’ll notice that Connecticut is already on there, Miss Stevens. No need for you to “put it” there.

Tim Urban
Song: “Under My Thumb”
Verdict: Jamaican Me Angry
Tim Urban continued his reign of holy terror on “American Idol” by turning the Stones’ ode to sexual manipulation into a baffling reggae ditty sung by a guy so white he makes Scott MacIntyre look like Billy Dee Williams. Tim strummed his guitar for most of the song, but when he brought up his right hand to the microphone he showed America his freakishly long fingernails. Yes, I know, guitar players often keep their nails long for better plucking ability, but let’s be honest: Lindsey Buckingham he ain’t. The four judges all gave him variations on “WTF?” but my fave critique came from Kara, whose “Whether you like it or not, you made it your own” comment was like refusing to yell at a child for smearing feces all over the bathroom wall because the crap painting resembles a school house.

Siobhan Magnus
Song: “Paint It Black”
Verdict: Best of the Night
Is Siobhan Magnus the Eve to season eight’s Adam? On paper, maybe. In practice, hell no. Conceptually, I adored Siobhan’s drama-filled “Paint It Black,” which started as a Gothic waltz and built up to an octave jumping banshee-wail that’s quickly becoming her trademark, all the while showing off her epic Edward Gorey tattoo. But no matter how many times Kara invokes his name, Adam Lambert never delivered a vocal as sloppy as Siobhan did Tuesday. (If it weren’t for the perfectly tender note Magnus ended on, I’d argue her power-shriek almost ended up being Danny Gokey “Scream On” 2.0.)

At this point in the competition, Siobhan’s bum notes are practically irrelevant. More important: The Cape Cod girl is living up to her dark horse title by taking risks and demonstrating what kind of artist she will be in the real world. After this bold performance, I could see Siobhan clicking with fans of the Dresden Dolls or My Chemical Romance and getting a spot on next year’s Vans Warped Tour. Dressed in a black prom dress, Siobhan was the ultimate angsty theater geek. And like Adam, she knows how to bring the drama. Now she just needs to get her vocals in tip top shape.

Lee Dewyze
Song: “Beast of Burden”
Verdict: “Beast”? More Like “Critter”
Lee Dewyze’s parents had the most charming banter. They reminded me of a couple in the interview segments from “When Harry Met Sally.” I wish Lee had a quarter of their personality when he’s on screen.

When Dewyze is performing, his personality level increases ever-so-slightly, but he’s an aloof singer who equates growls with emotion. Still, his “Beast of Burden” was miles better than fellow cougar-bait Casey James, even if it’s disconcerting to see a guy transform into a lite-FM rocker at a remarkably fast pace. Kara called Lee’s retreat into Phil Collins territory “growth,” but I call it “safe.” And I’m curious to see whether Simon’s pep talk - where the cranky judge practically begged Lee to step up his game - will have any effect on the low-key Chicago boy next week.

Paige Miles
Song: “Honky Tonk Woman”
Verdict: Miles Better
In her pre-performance package, Paige told us that she began singing when she was cast in a Christmas play. But the editors showed a clip of Miles dressed in all black with goth hair and holding a scepter. Behind her was a goblin girl in pigtails and a blouse that featured bone epaulettes, buttons and a belt. It appears said Christmas show was “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Satanist.” Festive!

Paige had the decks stacked against her this week. Not only was she public enemy #1 for Katelyn Epperly and Lilly Scott fans, but Miles is also suffering from laryngitis, which prevented her from rehearsing the song (and speaking). It was inspiring, then, to watch the ailing singer hit some robust notes in “Honky Tonk Woman.” Less inspiring? Paige’s “Troop Beverly Hills” getup. Unlike Shelley Long’s Phyllis Nefler, Paige does not have a black belt in shopping.

I, for one, appreciated Paige’s fortitude and felt like she proved she belongs in the Top 12. But regardless of how she looked or sounded, Paige pulled a dead paraplegic father (and laryngitis) out of her hat this week. She’s safe!

Aaron Kelly
Song: “Angie”
Verdict: Tender Vittles
Aaron Kelly told us some facts about his family, I imagine, but the only thing I can remember is that the aunt who adopted him as her son is named Kelly Kelly. Kelly Kelly. It is now my life goal to get Kelly Kelly and Lisa Lisa to join forces and create a supergroup. I don’t even care that Kelly Kelly can’t sing. She could play tambourine or something.

Aaron crooned a surprisingly tender “Angie” and paid tribute to Keith Richards’ heroin phase by lumbering around stage with the energy of a zonked out junkie. (Look alive, kid!) I prefer Aaron’s soft voice to when he belts. Incidentally, his chest voice is starting to remind me of Cher’s. Anyone else? Okay, cut me some slack. Cher is a little nutso. But its nothing compared to Randy’s Justin Timberlake comparison. Say whaaaat?

Crystal Bowersox
Song: “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
Verdict: The Bower Power Hour
I don’t care who I have to blackmail, threaten or kidnap, but I will hear Crystal Bowersox’s “Daddy” song and I will watch her perform it for her dad. Papa Bowersox got choked up recalling the ditty Crystal wrote for him when she was a teenager. (The lyrics were something along the lines of “Daddy I know you’re busy, you’re going to work all the time.” And the refrain is “Daddy, I love you.” Oh crap, even just typing those out is making me cry. Damn sensitive mustachioed fathers upstaging every single “Idol” contestant this season!)

Singing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with ease and comfort, Crystal emerged from backstage with a swagger every other contestant lacks. The set parted for her arrival, as if it were saying, “This is Crystal’s world, and you’re just living in it (and fighting for crumbs found in her dreadlocks).” (True story: Crystal attached a peacock feather to one of her dreads as a sign of respect for the fallen Lilly Scott. Does that mean she’s going to put mementos from each eliminated contestant in her hair like “America’s Next Top Model” judge Miss Jay? I would love to see her walk around with Casey James’ discarded shirt or Lacey Brown’s green fingernail woven into a dreadlock!)

Bowersox’s Rolling Stones song wasn’t as awesome as her previous two performances, but Crystal saved her finest performance for the judges’ critiques. She somehow talked back to Ellen, Kara and Simon without coming across as a brat. Bowersox admitted to “over-thinking” her performances, agreed with Simon that she was outshined by the “amazing” Siobhan Magnus, and she corrected Simon when he said she was acting like she had won the show already. “I haven’t thought that I got the competition at all, but thank you for saying that.” She’s like the only living creature that makes you want to Z-Snap and hug her simultaneously.

But what did you think of the performances? Were you blown away by the girl in the audience who had a hat with fake dreadlocks to support Crystal? Who had the cutest parents? Do you like Siobhan with or without her giant glasses? And did you notice how Fox framed out “Gossip Girl” star Jessica Sczhor when they showed “Glee” star Dianna Argron? Awkward!

 An Illinois insurance executive who secretly shot nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was sentenced Monday to 2 1/2 years in prison after giving a tearful apology that was harshly rebuked by his victim.

Michael David Barrett pleaded guilty in December to interstate stalking after prosecutors accused him of following the reporter to at least three cities and shooting the videos through hotel peepholes.

Barrett, 48, of suburban Chicago, agreed to a 27-month prison sentence after pleading guilty but it was up to the judge to decide how long he would actually serve.

Andrews urged the judge at the hearing for a harsher sentence and said she fears for her life every time she enters a hotel.


“You violated me and you violated all women,” Andrews told Barrett. “You are a sexual predator, a sexual deviant and they should lock you up.”

After the sentencing, she said, “Thirty months isn’t enough.”

Barrett admitted renting hotel rooms next to Andrews three times and shooting two videos of her while she was naked. He was accused of posting the videos online and trying to sell them to Los Angeles-based celebrity gossip site TMZ last year.

U.S. District Judge Manuel Real said he gave Barrett the maximum sentence under the law.

“The victim, Andrews, will be suffering with this problem for the rest of her life,” Real said. “There is no life sentence that can be imposed upon him, except his own guilt.”

Barrett cried as he addressed Andrews in court, saying he would spend the rest of his life regaining the respect of his friends and family and atoning for his mistakes.

“There are no words to tell Ms. Andrews how sorry I am for what I’ve done to her,” he said. “I hope someday she can forgive me.”

Andrews, visibly nervous as she spoke, said she had no sympathy for Barrett’s claim he was publicly humiliated.

“It’s my body on the Internet,” she said. “I’m being traumatized every single day for what he did. … This will never be over for me.”

Barrett, who has until May 3 to surrender, was ordered to have supervised probation for three years after his release, during which he will be prohibited from contacting Andrews, her family or friends.

He will not be allowed to stay in a hotel without approval of a probation officer and if he accepts employment somewhere, Andrews will be notified. Barrett was also ordered to pay $5,000 in fines and $7,366 in restitution, but the judge said further restitution may be imposed to compensate ESPN.

Barrett’s lawyer, David Willingham, said his client is undergoing psychological treatment and “has sought the path of redemption.”

“Mr. Barrett has lost everything he built throughout his life,” Willingham said. “He’s lost his career, his fiancee and his life savings. He knows that he brought this on himself.”

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have agreed not to pursue further charges against Barrett. However, he could face criminal action in other states stemming from other videos he allegedly shot of unsuspecting nude women through peepholes.

Andrews’ attorney, Marshall Grossman, has said there could be as many as a dozen other women that Barrett taped.

A sentencing memo filed last month in federal court says Barrett uploaded videos of 16 other women to an online account.

Barrett also allegedly conducted 30 Internet background checks that can produce birthdays and home addresses, the document said. The filing did not name the other alleged victims or say what information he obtained or how he may have used it.

Prosecutors claim that 32 videos provided by DailyMotion.com show Barrett “victimized approximately 16 other women in almost precisely the same way that he victimized” Andrews. They did not identify the women.

Andrews testified in December that Barrett’s actions had a devastating impact on her and her family because she is constantly reminded that his videos appeared online and is subjected to taunts from sports fans when she works as a sideline reporter.

Andrews has agreed to appear on the new season of ABC-TV’s “Dancing with the Stars” - an offer she said ABC made before the stalking allegations. She said she doesn’t want to seclude herself from the public eye because other victims would get the wrong message.

“I did nothing wrong. Just trying to live my life,” she said.

“I had to deal with a lot of people who said I deserved it, that I had played to a certain audience.”

Her attorney said she will not file a lawsuit against Barrett.

Jersey Shore’s own Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was in the Bay Area over the weekend. He made an appearance at The Venue to judge a bikini contest. Hundreds of people packed the place to see the reality show star. So it’s safe to say that The Situation created a situation at the club.

Sorrentino sat down with MyFoxTampaBay to talk about last season. He even revealed some secrets about what we can expect from the show the next time it hits the airwaves.

What can we expect from the second season of Jersey Shore?
The second season is almost upon is - in probably two to three weeks until season two is about to happen. The Situation is going to make it legendary. It’s going to be the best reality series in history. Of course the man, the myth, the legend, The Situation is going to make it happen.


What’s the best thing that’s happened to you in the past six months?
Probably the coolest thing that’s happened to me besides people fainting or crying when they see me. Probably the coolest thing that’s happened to me is meeting Leonardo DiCaprio. We hung out the whole night and it was actually pretty cool.

Someone fainted when they saw you? What happened?
Actually, to be really funny, it was actually a guy that had fainted in St. Louis and on the other hand some of the ladies they were crying and screaming. I’m pretty blessed to be where I am at right now and everything’s going pretty hot. I heard he fainted and the ambulance came and they woke him up. It definitely was a situation.

Who are you most looking forward to reuniting with in the house?
Well, of course me and Pauley D are best friends and just looking forward to tanning up like we usually do. There’s still the same drama, still the same issues with all the same people in the house. I’m just eager to see what happens when we’re all together and that should be in about two to three weeks that’s going to be going down.

Who are you least looking forward to reconnecting with?
If Angelina comes back, which I don’t know if she is, probably her. But at the same time, I’m not a hater, but Vinny sometimes he can, some times, try to jock me a little bit. So, I’m not too happy about people jocking me, you know what I mean? Take that picture from behind your bed, you know?

Is it true that you’ll be in Miami for the next season of Jersey Shore?
You know, I really don’t know the exact location of Jersey 2 but I know it’s very soon and wherever it is, it’s going to probably be the highest rated TV show of the year. Just like Jersey Shore was. It was the highest rated show in MTV history, I believe, with the biggest ratings, with The Situation being the main character.

Some people say you portrayed the Jersey Shore in a negative light. What would you say to those people?
Everybody knows that we’re young. We’re in our 20’s and we’re having fun. Sometimes, you know, life isn’t perfect - it could be better. This is reality TV so at any particular time you will get a situation. But at the end of the day we’re young and if we do make mistakes we learn from them. People saying it’s portrayed in a bad light - everybody knows that we’re not a definition of Jersey or a definition of Italians. We represent ourselves. We’re having fun and it’s harmless fun, and obviously if you don’t like the show that much, they invented the channel changer and you can press that button and change it.

You say you don’t portray Italians, who do you portray most?
I pretty much portray The Situation, who’s pretty much the biggest reality TV show star in the world right now so that’s who I portray. I represent. America loves The Situation and if you don’t love The Situation I’m going to make you love The Situation.

How do the girls here in Tampa stack up to the ones you’ve met all over the country?
The girls here are definitely beautiful girls and I’m blessed to be able to travel the country right now. You know, I really don’t know if too many people have too much on Tampa right now.
