Erin Andrews Peeper Eyed More Female Stars
Erin Andrews wasn't the only woman targeted by her Peeping Tom -- the scumbag taped 16 other women and scoped out several more including celebrities, this according to new court documents.
It's all in papers filed yesterday in federal court in Los Angeles, by prosecutors hoping to convince a judge to lock up Michael David Barrett for 27 months as punishment for surreptitiously taping the ESPN correspondent in her hotel room and posting it on the Internet.
In the docs, first obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, prosecutors claim Barrett "victimized approximately 16 other women in almost precisely the same way he victimized" Andrews -- and posted at least 32 "hotel peephole videos" to the web.
The docs also state that Barrett ran Internet background searches on 30 women, including "other female sports reporters, as well as other television personalities."
In the docs, prosecutors claim Andrews wants $335,558.27 in restitution from Barrett -- citing that she now suffers from "substantial emotional distress."

Lil Wayne -- The Tooth Has Set Him Free
Lil Wayne mouthed off to the judge in his weapons possession case -- and it actually won him his freedom ... at least temporarily.
Lil was scheduled to be
... to begin serving 1 year in jail, but it didn't happen because Weezy has a date with the dentist to fix all the crap in his mouth.
Turns out Weezy's grill is going under the knife on February 12 so the judge won't throw him in the slammer until the surgery is complete.
But this will be the last oral argument in the case ... the judge said no excuses on March 2, when Weezy shows up with his freshly fixed mouth.

Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller were at the courthouse in Aspen. The judge also relaxed the protective order that has been in place since Sheen's Christmas Day arrest -- so Sheen can now have communication and contact with Brooke.

Michael Jackson Coroner Report - House of Drugs
TMZ has just obtained a copy of the full L.A. County Coroner's report in the death of Michael Jackson -- which until now was under seal. The conclusion is clear ... Propofol killed the singer.
According to the report, the manner of death is homicide and the conclusion is based on the following 4 items:
1. Circumstances indicate the Propofol and the benzodiazepines were administered by another.
2. Propofol was administered in a non-hospital setting without any appropriate medical indication.
3. The standard of care for administering Propofol was not met. Recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present.
4. The circumstances do not support self-administration of Propofol.
The Coroner's report was under wraps until the criminal complaint was filed and it will be a centerpiece in the prosecution of Dr. Conrad Murray on charges of involuntary manslaughter.
UPDATE: In the Coroner's report, the scene at Jackson's house is described in detail, and the bedroom sounds like a hospital. There was a chair next to the bed -- "reportedly the decedent's doctor sat here." Also there -- a green oxygen tank, prescription meds, medical supplies, a box of catheters, disposable needles and alcohol pads. Also found -- near the foot of the bed ... a closed bottle of urine.
As we first reported, authorities found 11 bottles of Propofol in the house -- 3 100 ml vials and 8 20 ml vials.
Also, there was talk about Jackson's hair and reports he was bald. In fact, the Coroner's report says, "The decedent's head hair is sparse and is connected to a wig."
UPDATE: As for what drugs were found in Michael Jackson's house ... authorities found Diazepam (for anxiety) prescribed by Dr. Murray, Lorazepam (for anxiety) prescribed by Dr. Murray and Temazepam (for insomnia) prescribed by Dr. Murray. Authorities also found Clonazepam (for panic disorders) prescribed by Dr. Allan Metzger, Trazodone (an anti-depressant) prescribed by Dr. Metzger. And they found Tizanidine (a muscle relaxer) prescribed to Omar Arnold (a Jackson alias) prescribed by Dr. Arnold Klein. There was also an empty vial of Propofol injectable emulsion and an empty glass vial of a Flumazenil injection (which reverses effects of sedation) and a broken syringe.
As we first reported, authorities found 11 vials of Propofol ... 3 100 ml vials and 8 20 ml vials. None of the bottles had prescription directions, patient or doctor names.
They also found liquid Midazolam (anti-anxiety), Lorazepam liquid (injectable) and 14 capsules of ephedrine (for narcolepsy and depression), caffeine aspirin, Zanaflex (a muscle relaxer) and Prednisone (for skin conditions). There was also Azithromycin (an antibiotic), prescribed by Dwight James/Cherilyn Lee and the patient name was Kathlyn Hursey.
UPDATE: An anesthesiologist who consulted with the Coroner said there are "NO reports of its use (Propofol) for insomnia relief, to my knowledge. The only reports of its use in homes are cases of fatal abuse."

Dr. Conrad Murray to Judge -- I'm 'Not Guilty'
Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, will plead not guilty Monday morning when he is arraigned on involuntary manslaughter charges ... sources tell TMZ.
We're told the plan is for Dr. Murray to arrive at the courthouse 20 - 30 minutes before the arraignment -- which sources tell us will be at 1:30 PM PT. He will surrender voluntarily.
Law enforcement sources tell us 20 L.A. County Sheriff's deputies will be at the courthouse, some of whom will be evident and some who will not. We're told the Sheriff's Department has had its security plan in place for a while, in part because of crowd control concerns and partly because of security issues surrounding Dr. Murray.
We're told there is a concern about Dr. Murray's safety because of intense feeling on the part of some Michael Jackson fans that Dr. Murray killed the singer.
As we first reported, Dr. Murray will be accompanied by a bail bondsman who will post bail -- expected to be $25,000.
Our sources say Dr. Murray will not waive his right to a preliminary hearing.
Following arraignment and booking, we're told Dr. Murray will leave L.A. and go either to Las Vegas or Houston.

Plea Bargain Possible in Charlie Sheen Case
Charlie Sheen will be charged with a felony Monday in the Christmas day incident with wife Brooke Mueller, but the case may never go to trial because of the possibility of a plea bargain.
We broke the story that Sheen will be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault when he is arraigned Monday afternoon in Aspen court. Our sources say Charlie would be open to a plea bargain if the plea involves a misdemeanor. We're also told -- although the prosecution and defense can negotiate a plea deal -- no plea would be entered for 60 days from Monday.
Better news for Charlie and Brooke on the home front. We're told relaxing the protective order that bars Charlie and Brooke from communicating or having contact with each other is just a formality -- it should take two minutes for the judge to modify the order.
The plan is for Charlie and Brooke to fly back to L.A. on Monday after the hearing and begin living together again.

'Deadliest Catch' Captain -- No More Tubes
Captain Phil Harris, the badass star of "Deadliest Catch," is making serious progress in his recovery from last week's stroke -- dude is finally breathing on his own.
According to a source close to the family, doctors are "extremely impressed" with Harris' progress.
Harris had been using breathing tubes to help circulate oxygen through his body since he went down while unloading crabs from the F/V Cornelia Marie -- but we're told as of Friday, the tubes have all been removed.
We're told Harris is also regaining feeling in the left side of his body -- which had gone numb after the stroke. His motor skills are also returning to normal. Perhaps the best sign -- Harris has been talking a lot lately ... even dropping a few of his trademark cuss bombs here and there.
We're told Harris and his family have been continuously charting a recovery course with doctors and he hopes to get home ASAP.

Conrad Murray Will Voluntarily Surrender
Dr. Conrad Murray will walk into court on his own free will Monday and face the judge after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say counsel for Murray spoke by phone with members of the L.A. County District Attorney's Office this morning and the D.A. agreed Dr. Murray could surrender without being arrested.
Unless the LAPD intervenes on its own and hooks Dr. Murray up, we're told he'll show up in court with a bail bondsman on Monday. We're also told the recommended bail will be $25,000, which will be posted on the spot.
Sources also tell TMZ the arraignment will take place at 1:30 PM on Monday.

Kate Walsh Scores in Divorce Settlement
Kate Walsh has settled her nasty divorce with Alex Young, and Kate did pretty well for herself ... sources tell TMZ.
We got this video of the "Private Practice" star leaving court late yesterday with her lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser. Walsh and Young were in court all day hashing out the settlement.
Here's what TMZ knows: Alex wanted several million bucks, but according to
, he ended up with $627,000 for his share of the community property. Alex wanted spousal support but was shut down by the judge. Kate gets the house. They split the artwork and furniture.
Alex also gets half the residuals for the "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" episodes Kate filmed while they were married.
There are mutual restraining orders prohibiting each from harassing the other.
Mind you ... they only lived together as husband and wife for 14 months.

LAPD/D.A. Feud Derails Dr. Murray Arraignment
The scheduled arraignment Friday for Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson will not take place as scheduled because of the feud between the L.A. County D.A. and the LAPD over Dr. Murray's surrender.
As we first reported, the LAPD was bent out of shape -- and that is an understatement -- because the D.A. had kept cops in the dark and had been working with Dr. Murray's lawyers to arrange a voluntary surrender in court at the time of the arraignment.
The plan as of Thursday afternoon: Dr. Murray's lawyers would drive him to the L.A. County Sheriff's Office at the Airport Courthouse in L.A. at 5:30 AM Friday, along with a bail bondsman. Dr. Murray would be booked, post bail and then walk into court without handcuffs or chains.
We're told the LAPD so vehemently objected to the plan ... the D.A. finally backed off. The LAPD wants to arrest Dr. Murray, book him and bring him into court in handcuffs and/or chains -- something that is fairly standard in homicide cases.
The plan has fallen apart and we're told ... as of now ... there will be no arraignment tomorrow.
It's starting out shaky, folks.

Jared Leto Faces Bomb Threat
Jared Leto and his band just came face to face with an explosive threat: A man who panicked a crowd with a mysterious box.
Fans at a West Hollywood appearance by Jared's band, 30 Seconds to Mars, tell TMZ the man rushed the door of the building with a package in his hands.
Witnesses say the man called out Jared by name, and then said something about having explosives.
We're told a member of the band and security tackled the man until police came and arrested him.
LAPD cleared Melrose Avenue to check the box and the suspect's car -- which he had parked in the middle of the street. Cops say there was no bomb in the box -- just candy and a blender.
The man is in custody and police tell us they suspect he is mentally unstable.
UPDATE: Jared addressed the crowd outside after the place was evacuated, telling them the man told him "some explosives" were in the box -- and "it's official, we have the craziest fans in the world."
The event was rescheduled until tonight.
