Dodgers Divorce -- BF Had Legal Woes
The L.A. Dodgers divorce case between Frank and Jamie McCourt has a new plot twist. Seems Jamie's new BF had a "relationship" problem in the 90's -- as in, his pregnant wife claimed he got physical with her.
TMZ obtained a restraining order issued against Jeff Fuller, Jamie's new guy. Jeff's wife at the time -- Michele Christine Fuller -- claimed in May 1995, when she was seven months pregnant, she called 911 after Jeff pushed her into a wall and knocked her down.
Fuller also says in December of that same year, after the baby was born, Jeff -- with whom she had already separated -- came to her home and started banging on her window, trying to force his way into the house.
She wrote in her declaration: "I am very afraid. He is becoming more and more violent, and I believe he will start to act on some of his threats."
The judge issued the restraining order on December 20, 1995.
TMZ has obtained a letter Michele sent to Jeff today saying she doubts the legal papers -- which we obtained from microfiche at the courthouse -- are authentic: "I do not think they are authentic or at least they may have been altered."
She adds it was a difficult time in her life and she said and did "things that I later regretted." Michele does not believe she said what was in her declaration.
Michele adds, "[He] was not violent towards me and in fact, I can't imagine [him] being violent towards any woman."

Chris Brown Chick: 'He Was Tryin' to Marry Me!'
Chris Brown may not "mess wit" "Bad Girls Club" contestant Natalie Nunn, but according to her, Brown did want to marry her.
TMZ obtained this video of Natalie inside the "Bad Girls" crib talking about how much she wants the convicted felon -- a dude who she says "might beat Rihanna," but "doesn't beat me."
Clearly, she sets her standards high.

Ryan Seacrest Wins Restraining Order
Ryan Seacrest's lawyers aren't taking any chances -- they just got a temporary restraining order against the alleged stalker who was arrested at the E! building today.
Under the terms of the restraining order, filed by Ryan's lawyer Blair Berk, Chidi Uzomah is ordered to stay 100 yards away from Ryan. Uzomah must stay clear of Ryan's home, job, vehicle. He can have no contact -- either direct or indirect -- with Seacrest.
We're told Seacrest's people fear Uzomah is a real danger. We're hearing Ryan's lawyers moved quickly so LAPD Threat Management detectives could serve Uzomah with the TRO while he's still being interrogated at the jail. As we first reported, Uzomah is being held on felony stalking.
Chidi was convicted of three misdemeanors last month after attacking Ryan's bodyguard at a hospital in Orange County. He had a knife in his pocket. Uzomah pled guilty to three misdemeanors and was placed on probation. One term of probation -- stay away from Ryan. The D.A. is now considering whether to ask the judge to violate Uzomah's probation.
Uzomah was taken into custody earlier today ... moments after showing up to the E! building in Los Angeles with a knife. He also showed up at a radio station in Burbank earlier this month, looking for Ryan.

Seacrest Intruder Held for Felony Stalking
TMZ has learned Chidi Uzomah -- the man who showed up with a knife to see Ryan Seacrest at work today -- is now being held on felony stalking charges, and that gives Ryan some breathing room.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD has decided Uzomah is a real danger to Seacrest. By holding him on felony stalking, cops have some breathing room to hold Uzomah in custody ... mainly because he was caught with a knife.

Nicole Richie Gets Restraining Order
Nicole Richie just won a temporary restraining order against two paparazzi who slammed into her car earlier this month.
A lawyer in Mark Geragos' firm, Tamar Arminak (inset), was in court this afternoon and convinced the judge the photogs -- Ivon Miguel and Bam Bam -- are a danger to Nicole.
They were ordered to stay 100 yards away from Nicole and have no contact -- either direct or indirect -- with her, her kids or her staff. Joel Madden is not covered by the restraining order.
In her declaration, Nicole says the harassment occurs "on a daily basis." She claims the paps have been "stalking our home, as we try to go about living our lives."
There's a hearing next month to make the restraining order permanent.
Nicole Richie Moves for Restraining Order
Nicole Richie's lawyer has just gone to court seeking a restraining order against the paparazzo who struck her car earlier this month.
The pap -- who ironically goes by Bam Bam -- was arrested after the crash.
As we first reported, famed P.I. Scott Ross paid a visit to Nicole's house after the crash, along with a lawyer from Mark Geragos' law firm.

Seacrest Alleged Stalker Has Been on Ryan Hunt
Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker showed up at a radio station earlier this month, looking for Ryan ... and Ryan's people have been asking prosecutors for weeks to take swift action against the guy.
TMZ has learned earlier this month Chidi Uzomah showed up at KIIS FM in Burbank, CA, looking for Ryan. Uzomah apparently didn't know that Ryan did his radio show out of the E! offices in L.A. The Burbank police were called but no arrest was made.
Law enforcement sources say Ryan's people began calling the Orange County D.A.'s office immediately after the KIIS incident, asking prosecutors to violate Uzomah's probation and put in place a criminal protective order. Uzomah was on probation after attacking Ryan's security guard last month in the O.C. One condition of probation -- stay away from Ryan Seacrest.
We're told Ryan and his people fear Uzomah poses a danger to the host and want him locked up. The O.C. D.A.'s office tells us they are reviewing the incident and have been in contact with law enforcement agencies from both incidents.
As for today's incident -- where Uzomah showed up at E! when Ryan was there -- not so complicated.

Jon Gosselin: The Spirit Moves Me
Jon Gosselin is not going to hook up with Octomom for a TV special, because his "spiritual advisors" had a bad feeling about the project. Who knew we were spiritual advisors?
We got a statement that Jon's "talent" agent sent to the producers of "Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" saying, "While Jon appreciates the consideration and the potential revenues that it offers, after reviewing with both the management team and his spiritual advisors Jon has decided it is not in his best interest to pursue a show of this nature."
The "Dear Jon" letter continues, "... it is important to Jon to focus on his family and repairing the relationship that Jon and Kate need to have, both for themselves and for the sake of their children."
That's Jon Gosselin for you -- always doing the Lord's work.

Neighbors to Paris Hilton: Shut UP!!!!
Paris Hilton's neighbors in the Hollywood Hills called the cops on the heiress last night -- after Paris allegedly threw a super-loud rager at her house at around 4:00 AM.
We've learned an LAPD unit arrived to Paris' place sometime before 5:00 AM, but by the time cops showed up, the place was absolutely quiet ... too quiet.
Shockingly, it's not the first time Hilton's been accused of pissing off her neighbors. Back in May, cops rolled over to Hilton's pad twice -- in the same week -- after two major noise complaints.
UPDATE: Sources say Paris was NOT staying at the house last night .. and hasn't been for a while. We're told some friends have been using the house for the past few days while Paris has been at her other home in Beverly Hills.

Lindsay was at her favorite watering hole -- Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. Outside the hotel, there was a barricade -- we don't know why. Deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. were enforcing the barricade, when a man -- reportedly Lindsay's bodyguard -- tried crossing the line.
The dude was detained and later let go.

Taylor Swift Embraces the Swastika
UPDATE: Swift's rep just put together this swift explanation for TMZ, "Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night ... she doesn't know who this guy is and she didn't realize what was on his shirt."
What the heil was Taylor Swift thinking?
During Katy Perry's birthday party in West Hollywood last weekend, 19-year-old Swift put her arm around a guy wearing a Nazi swastika -- a symbol of hate, murder and evil -- and smiled for a photograph.
There are rumblings that the "JH" on Swift's shirt stands for "Jew Hater" -- but it seems more likely it stands for Julianne Hough due to the fact that Hough had a "TS" painted on her outfit ... most likely for Taylor Swift.
Soldier Allegedly Threatened to Kill Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus had one hell of a summer -- yesterday officials revealed that a 2nd man was arrested near Miley's Georgia movie set ... but this time the suspect is a 22-year-old soldier who allegedly threatened to murder the actress.
The man in the photo is Sean Christian Mathis -- and in June, cops say he rolled up to Miley's movie set in a t-shirt and swim trunks, saw Miley's stunt double and shouted, "Hey, it's Miley Cyrus, I'm going to f**king kill you."
According to the police report, an officer ran down and arrested Mathis for making "terroristic threats" and disorderly conduct. During the arrest, cops say Mathis informed them he was a soldier -- so the cops called the military police. The MPs then took Mathis back to his base. Yesterday, officials announced they will proceed with the case.
As TMZ reported, a 53-year-old man was busted near Miley's set in August for allegedly attempting to stalk the actress ... but yesterday a grand jury found there was insufficient evidence to pursue felony charges against him in Superior Court.

LiLo & Sam -- Under Watch by the Burglar Bunch
Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson shopping for Rolex watches was a really big hit on the Internet ... at least with whoever was using the computer seized from suspected Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch member Nick Prugo.
We took a few screen grabs of sites visited on the seized comp -- and noticed there was a lot of interest in LiLo and Sam's watch shopping spree at Philllip Jewelry in Beverly Hills back in February.
LiLo's crib was allegedly robbed by the Burglar Bunch months later -- as we previously reported, we also found a picture on the computer of someone wearing what could be one of LiLo's stolen timepieces.

The Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch allegedly downloaded photos of Mariah Carey and Rihanna on a computer they used to target celebrity victims.
One of the photos -- obtained by TMZ -- shows Rihanna wearing diamond stud earrings. The Mariah pic shows the singer wearing long, dangling earrings.
There is no evidence the gang burglarized either Rihanna or Mariah. As we first reported, there are pictures of other stars who the Burglar Bunch allegedly did hit, including Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge.
We are putting a gallery together of other celebrities whose photos ended up in the alleged burglar's computer. We'll publish that gallery first thing tomorrow morning.
