Randy and Evi Quaid could have appeared in court in Santa Barbara today to help settle their fraud case -- but they didn't, so now the Santa Barbara DA is going to have them extradited from Texas. Road trip!!!
The husband and wife team were arrested last month after they allegedly skipped out on a huge bill at the San Ysidro Ranch. The Quaids have since paid up their $10,000 bill, but they still face three felony charges -- burglary, conspiracy and defrauding an innkeeper.
Extradition usually takes about two weeks, but we're told the Quaids plan on appearing in court next week before that happens.

Jon Gosselin might be as sick of seeing himself on TV as everyone else -- because last night in NYC he said he was done with reality shows for good.
Jon was rumored to be working on a show with Michael Lohan called "Divorced Dads" ... so if that means LiLo's dad won't be popping up soon on TV either, consider this the best news ever.

The man accused of secretly videotaping ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is about to be released from his Chicago jail cell after forking over $4,500 in bail money -- but he ain't exactly a free man.
The suspect -- Michael David Barrett -- appeared before a federal judge in Chicago this morning where he was granted his release with the following list of stipulations:
- He will have to wear an electronic monitoring device.
- Curfew enforced from 9pm to 6am.
- He can go to work and doctor's appointments.
- No Internet access for two weeks.
Barrett was ordered to turn in his passport by tomorrow morning, and he's not allowed to leave Northern Illinois.
The judge said he was releasing Barrett because he doesn't have a criminal record and because his family lives in the area.
Barrett will face interstate stalking charges in Los Angeles on October 23rd.

TMZ has learned an arrest has been made in the Erin Andrews Peeping Tom case -- the one in which the ESPN reporter was secretly videotaped walking around naked in various hotel rooms ... and the suspect has been charged with the federal crime of felony stalking.
48-year-old Michael David Barrett was arrested at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Friday.
According to the FBI, Barrett allegedly stalked Erin "with the intent to harass, to place under surveillance with intent to harass and intimidate, and to cause substantial emotional distress to a person in another state."
The videotapes surfaced in July. At least six clips showed Erin walking around two different hotel rooms in the nude, and were shot with a peephole camera. It was virtually impossible to tell when or where the videos were shot.
Andrews' lawyer, Marshall Grossman from the law firm Bingham & McCutchen, tells TMZ Barrett allegedly contacted hotels in the various venues "where Andrews was working in order to locate her and her room number -- and some of the hotels revealed that information, permitting him to target her." Grossman says Barrett would remove the peepholes from the doors -- or as the complaint states, "hacked off" -- and inserted tiny camera devices to secretly film her.
Someone tried to sell the clips to TMZ, but we refused to buy or air them because they were an obvious invasion of Erin's privacy. The federal complaint notes that the videos were offered for sale to TMZ.com through his email account.
The complaint says Andrews was so upset when the tapes began to circulate elsewhere she was "having trouble breathing and felt sick all of the time." The complaint adds, "She was concerned there might be more video and wanted to vomit just thinking about it."
UPDATE -- Barrett appeared in court today where he was ordered to be returned to California to face charges.

Randy and Evi Quaid know how to drive a hard bargain ... because we've learned they still haven't paid the bill for which they're being prosecuted.
Sources connected with the case tell TMZ the $5,546.96 the Quaids sent the San Ysidro Ranch to settle the bill they skipped out on isn't the full payment -- not by a long shot.
We're told the Quaids still owe another $5,000. And get this -- we're told Evi called the Ranch and said she and Randy would only pay the balance if they call off the dogs -- i.e., they wouldn't press charges.

We have more details of what happened leading up to the murder of Jasmine Fiore.
Fiore and her accused murderer, husband Ryan Jenkins, drove to the San Diego area on August 13 in a white Mercedes and checked into the L'Auberge Del Mar -- which was two days before she was found dead. The general manager of the hotel observed them and said "they looked like a perfectly happy couple."
The general manager tells us two Buena Park detectives showed up to the hotel on Monday, stayed 4 hours and searched several areas of the hotel, including one room where they took several items.
The detectives showed up again on Wednesday, stayed again for several hours and interviewed several staff members.
The general manager doubts Fiore was killed in the hotel, saying the walls are very thin and no one reported a disturbance.
The GM says neither Jenkins nor Fiore formally checked out of the hotel. The last time they saw Ryan was Friday morning, when he left alone.
It appears the couple may have gone to a nearby Hilton Hotel. There are reports people at a poker party at the Hilton saw Fiore and Jenkins Friday night and observed her putting Jenkins down in a rude way.
Fiore's body was discovered on Saturday morning.

The idiot to the right is accused of making one of the stupidest mistakes ever this weekend -- he allegedly drove drunk to a trooper station and then tried checking in ... thinking it was a hotel.
The 25-year-old, Mitchell Deslatte, was booked on DWI in Louisiana after he went into the station and asked a trooper at the desk if it was a hotel.
It's unclear if his cell came with free HBO and a continental breakfast.

Someone is trying to sell the secret videotape of ESPN's Erin Andrews and it's clear -- there's a pervert on the loose.
We will not publish the video nor did we purchase it. It's a clear invasion of privacy. But this is what we can tell you.
It appears the video was shot from some sort of spy cam. It looks as if someone drilled a small hole in her hotel room from an adjoining room.
The camera is clearly being operated by someone. It follows Erin as she moves about her room.
It looks like a high-end hotel, but Erin's people claim they have no idea where or when it was shot.
It's also clear Erin has absolutely no idea she's being videotaped.

The man who allegedly tried to break in to Jamie Foxx's Philadelphia hotel room last month is too loony to stand trial, according to a judge.
Steven Taliver (aka Willie Brown) will stay put in jail and undergo a psych evaluation until his next hearing on June 5.
Brown was arrested for burglary, criminal threats, stalking, false imprisonment and harassment after he allegedly tried to break into Foxx's hotel room.

"Celebrity Apprentice" reject Dennis Rodman got tossed again -- this time for getting too touchy feely at a posh LA hotel.
Sources tell TMZ Rodman was asked to leave the London Hotel in West Hollywood on Friday after several guests complained about his behavior. We're told Rodman was slapping and groping female guests, as well as yelling obscenities. And get this -- our spies tell us he even scared the children.
A hotel staffer told us, "He is the most obscene and out of control guest I've ever seen up here."
A call to Rodman's rep was not immediately returned.

With baby Blanket no longer a baby, Michael Jackson dangled his gorgeous face and waved his human hand from the window of his London hotel on Thursday. "Hello, my pretties."
Make me wanna scream!

Don't lick hip hop kingpin Russell Simmons -- 'cause he's not a sucker.
Our spies at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel tell us Simmons' assistant called recently to inquire about the Presidential Suites and packages. The guy was all ears, until the hotel rep dropped the price -- $51,000. Simmons' lackey said it was way too much and hung up.
For the record, the deal is for the "Ultimate Presidential" package. It includes a three-night stay in the hotel's Presidential or Mayflower Suite, limo service to and from the airport, his-and-hers inaugural jewelry, Dom Perignon champagne with Baccarat toasting flutes, in-room massage for two, 24-hour butler service, a custom-designed cocktail by the guy the hotel calls "legendary" bartender Sambonn Lek, inaugural petit fours, and his-and-hers inaugural garb from Burberry to keep guests warm during the ceremony.
Simmons is worth an estimated $300,000,000. How did he get so rich? By not blowing his money on stupid petit fours and toasting flutes.

So you want a piece of history ... for under $100,000?
This is how desperate people are to get into Barack Obama's sold out Inauguration: The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Georgetown is selling a special Inauguration package: 4 nights in the Presidential suite, a set of Gucci luggage, 2 tickets to the parade and official ball and a 4 night stay at the Ritz in Grand Cayman to recover. Price tag: $99,000.
A Hotel rep says someone bought the package.
UPDATE: The room did sell -- but not for $99,000. We're told it went for $12,000 per night.
We also found out someone did buy a $50,000 "Politically Correct" package at the The Ritz in Washington D.C. -- which includes 4-nights in a luxury suite, 2 tix to the inauguration, 2 tix to the parade, 2 tix to the ball, some jewelry, a designer tux and a dress. It's good to be rich.

R&B boy toy Ray J was tossed out on his behind early Saturday morning from the Hyatt Regency in D.C., because Brandy's bro allegedly had a stash of marijuana and a drug called "Boat" (a club drug) ... this according to TMZ sources.
We're told Ray J went to his room after partying it up, when hotel management got a complaint. It appears security went up to the room where they allegedly found all the drug stuff.
Our sources say the singer tried to bribe hotel security so he could stay but they didn't bite. We're told Ray J went crazy, arguing like a mutha. Eventually, Mr. J's own security came to the hotel and carted him away.
Police were called, but no one was busted.
And the supreme insult -- Ray J had to check into a Holiday Inn down the street. Oh the humanity.
UPDATE: Ray J's rep tells us "The altercation did not directly affect Ray J -- it was people in his entourage. But he did the gentlemanly thing and left the hotel anyway."

A nationwide Christian organization called The Resistance, led by founder Mark Dice, was set to have a huge soiree last night at the Beverly Hilton to celebrate Paris Hilton's incarceration. Only trouble is... they didn't.
TMZ camera's were on hand to catch what was supposed to be a riled-up group as they trashed Hilton memorabilia in celebration of a time they hope will allow the heiress some deep "self reflection." So, just what did our cameras catch?
Nothing!
In fact, our guy never even hit the record button. The gala was supposed to kickoff at 8:00 PM in a bar on the first floor of the hotel. Our camera guy was told to look for a guy with a "Pray for Paris" t-shirt on -- which would allegedly distinguish Mr. Dice from the rest of expected crowd. Dice never rolled in!
Perhaps Paris' newly-found bible studies endeared her to her Christian detractors. As for the failed hater bash: *wahhh, wahhh!*
UPDATE: TMZ has learned that Dice did show up for the event, but was thrown out by security for interviewing patrons of the hotel. Here's the video evidence that he was there ... if you care.
