Tyra Banks' stalker is finally gonna learn his lesson -- he was just sentenced by a judge to serve hard time ... in a classroom.
Brady Green was given one year of probation today after he was found guilty in April of stalking Tyra Banks. As part of his sentence, he must complete an anti-stalking course called Project SHARP (Stopping Harassment and Relationship Problems).
Wonder what the homework is like? "Tonight, class, don't follow anyone home."
If Green doesn't complete the course, he'll get 90 days in the slammer.
The man accused of stalking Tyra Banks has been sentenced to catwalk in jail.
A judge in NYC convicted Brady Green of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment. His sentencing is scheduled for June. Green faces up to 90 days in jail.
Green's lawyer says he plans to appeal.
UPDATE: The way we hear it, the restraining order against Green has been extended, and as long as he stays away from Tyra he will not serve any jail time come his sentencing date. That can and will change if Green violates the order.
Tyra Banks just took the stand in the trial of a man accused of stalking her -- a man who allegedly threatened to kill one of her employees for refusing to give him tickets to her show.
39-year-old Brady Green -- who has pled not guilty to misdemeanor stalking and harassment -- also sent love letters and flowers to Tyra and was arrested in March of 2008 for sneaking into her studio.
Tyra -- the first witness to take the stand -- told the court she's been forced to hire security because she's too scared to be alone.
Banks said Green is "more aggressive" than a regular fan -- but said "I don't fear for my life, I fear for my safety. I fear for my staff and people in my vicinity."
He faces a max of 90 days in jail if convicted.
UPDATE: Cross-examination is over, during which Green's lawyers tried to make the case that he never called, emailed or personally threatened Tyra.
The do over auditions in New York for "America's Next Top Model" today have gone off without a hitch ... and all it took was one violent, bloody riot of hungry models to teach the organizers a lesson.
The would-be models were all greeted by actual police officers and efficient checkpoint stations set up for today's event, instead of smoking cars, trampled bodies and broken high heels. The whole operation was designed to keep the crowd calm.
Unfortunately, not everything was so perfect -- a huge rainstorm hit early this morning, soaking all the wannabe models. Which, actually isn't a bad visual.
The next potential winner of "America's Next Top Model" may have almost been crushed to death ... and not because of crippling body image issues.
Three people were arrested and four were treated by medics after a riot broke out in Manhattan yesterday during an audition for the show.
The streets erupted when a mob of almost 10,000 model wannabes overwhelmed security and were thrown into a frenzy after a man allegedly yelled that a smoking car on the street was about to blow up.
In the end, everyone went home and threw up ... you know, because they were so shaken from the incident.
You'd expect Tyra to be rollin' on dubs in an Escalade with monogrammed seats -- but a taxi? Come on Ty, you know cabs in L.A. are only for drunks or "Top Model" chicks on the way to a go-see.
Most people freak out when the airline loses their bags -- not Ty Pennington.
Also in L.A.: Tyra Banks at LAX, Jimmy Fallon wanted to pump up the jam, Mickey Rourke had a shirt on this time at Mr. Chow and Eddie Murphy partied at One.
In NY: Charo, Kristen Bell and Ali Larter were all at JFK -- but only Ali showed love for the waiting paps and fans.
Fred Savage and his lovely wife were pap targets outside STK this weekend -- but got a reality check when photogs started saving their film for the Beckhams, who were also inside.
Also in L.A.: Kate Beckinsale lookin' red hot at STK, Tyra blowing us off, Sly Stallone and his Rambotoxed mug, and Common -- who although rumored to be dating Serena Williams, was asked about Venus.
In NY: 'Memba Her hottie Tina Louise, a scruffy Scott Speedman and Glenn Close, who had no idea what a Lauren Conrad was.
Tyra Banks and "America's Next Top Model" are the latest targets of the hilarious comedy of "Ab-Fab's" Saunders and French. They've adapted Miss Banks, given her 18-foot legs and a bit of an English accent.
Apparently, our friends across the pond are just as obsessed as we are with the trials and tribulations of struggling models.
A wigged-out Britney Spears is back -- and doing what she does best -- lip-synching and shaking her ass. Spears performed a mini-concert at the House of Blues in L.A. on Friday, the only problem -- her show lasted all of 11 minutes!
What a Dick! Trainwreck Andy Dick joined the ranks of Tara Reid, Chyna and Bobby Brown -- getting denied from a hot Hollywood club.
It's always funny when pretty people fall over ... and Tyra Banks is no exception.
While taping an upcoming segment for her talk show, with guests Hilary Duff and a porcupine, Banks leaped away from the spiked animal in fear and pulled a Tom Cruise by jumping up on the couch. Unfortunately, Ms. Banks' balance isn't as sturdy as Tom's -- the model hostess tipped over and went hurdling to the floor! Go Tyra!
A stint in rehab, a bitter divorce, a bizarre run-in with hair clippers -- Britney Spears' story has all the makings of a sensational novel. Those waiting to read about Britney's turbulent life in print, y'all, wait no more. Spears is gearing up to write a tell-all about life with ex-hubby/mooch Kevin Federline, in which she claims that the "Popozao" singer nearly drove her to suicide. Us too, Brit, us too. Spears has yet to settle on a publisher, but the book is expected to earn her more than $10 million.
Tyra Banks: No Dine and Dash!
Call it misadventures in babysitting: Earlier this week Tyra Banks joined Russell Simmons, along with his children Ming, 7, and Aoki, 4, at the Brooklyn Diner in midtown Manhattan, and accidentally skipped out on the tab. Tyra's misstep was reported in the Daily News on Wednesday, and Tyra was confronted about it by "The View" co-host Joy Behar on Thursday. To hear Tyra explain it, it was simply a misunderstanding: Tyra thought Russell was paying, and Russell thought she was paying. Tyra returned to the resto at the end of the week to pay the bill, and handed waiter Guillermo Marquez a $100 tip.
Simon: I Taunt Paula
Snarky "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell mercilessly taunts practically every "Idol" performer -- and co-judge Paula Abdul. In fact, he's so busy bothering Abdul during the show, that he often has no idea what contestants' actual performances sound like, reports People.
On an episode of "The Ellen Degeneres Show," set to air this Monday, Simon confesses that "I watch the dress run so I actually hear much, much easier what they really do sound like." His favorites? Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle.
As for poor Paula? "I'm taunting Paula throughout the performance," he says smugly, glibly telling her to "say something interesting."
Party Favors...Kanye a Naughty Teen...Scotty Actor Gets Beamed Up
Kanye West's mother, Donda West, reveals in her new memoir, "Raising Kanye," that the "Jesus Walks" rapper was more than a little into porn as an adolescent. She tells of the time that he was caught bringing a raunchy magazine to school, and recounts West's teenage fascination with X-rated films. ... If all goes as planned, the remains of James Doohan, who played "Scotty" on the long-running sci-fi series "Star Trek," will sail into space today. Doohan, who died in July 2005, will join "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddeberry, whose remains were rocketed into space in 1997.
