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.

Rose McGowan loves Adam Lambert's voice ... but his personal style, not so much.
We got the outspoken "Planet Terror" star outside Chateau Marmont last night, where she put the "Idol" runner-up on blast -- saying his clothes are "unacceptable" and "too Melrose."
Rose also said Kara's gotta go though ... so at least we can all agree on something.

The worst waiter in the history of existence, who gives waiters everywhere a terrible name, who has no future in the service industry -- but whom Paula Abdul would have probably loved -- dropped a case of beer on his way into Simon Cowell's 50th birthday bash last night, partially soaking his beloved Rolls.
No, it wasn't Taylor Hicks.

"American Idol" wannabeen Katharine McPhee took a break from making music nobody listens to and picked up the peroxide and a pair of scissors.
The fifth season runner-up debuted her new blond bob last night at the Ann Taylor runway show in NYC.
It's the most exciting thing she's done since finishing second place to Taylor Hicks.

For the new season of "American Idol," Ellen DeGeneres is taking over Paula Abdul's spot -- but last night on "VH1 Divas," Paula poked fun at her successor and actually stepped into Ellen's shoes ... and hair ... and pantsuit .... and busted some serious moves.

If Paula Abdul has any resentment towards Ellen DeGeneres for grabbing her old "American Idol" job, she's certainly not showing it. 
Photogs caught Paula in NYC yesterday and she said she thought Ellen will be "great" on the show.
But really, what did you expect Paula to say?

The world's largest record companies are banding together to sue the Ellen DeGeneres show -- claiming producers owe them big for their songs that were played on the show.
It's all over the "dance" portion of Ellen's show -- according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville, record execs claim they have never received a single penny for the hundreds of songs Ellen's danced to over the years.
The people behind the "Ellen" show say DeGeneres had nothing to with the case adding, "This matter does not involve our host, Ellen DeGeneres , who as everyone knows is a huge music enthusiast and advocate, and had no knowledge of issues regarding the use of music in the show."
Scott Rowe, spokesman for the show's Telepictures Productions, wrote in an e-mailed statement that the company has been working with the record labels for months to resolve the issue and remains willing to resolve it on "amicable and reasonable terms."
The record companies -- including Arista, Atlantic, Capitol Records, Motown, Sony Music Entertainment, Virgin Records and Warner Bros. Records -- didn't specify a particular dollar amount ... but we're guessin' it ain't gonna be cheap.

Though Paula has yet to comment on the switch, Ellen also said, "I hope Paula is okay with it."

Just a few months ago, Ellen was overly interested in the judge "situation" on "American Idol" -- grilling Simon Cowell about that coveted fourth seat.
When Simon tells Ellen he thinks all four judges are going to be back next season, she slyly replies, "Really ... okay" -- almost like she knows something Simon doesn't.
