A knife-wielding, previously convicted stalker of Ryan Seacrest was arrested as he entered the E! studio lobby in LA this morning. Guards immediately recognized Chidi Uzomah, who had been sentenced to 15 days in prison last month for trying to break into the American Idol host’s car and attacking his security personnel.
According to TMZ, Seacrest’s people have been on guard since Uzomah was spotted outside of KIIS-FM earlier this month, not realizing that Seacrest records his radio show from the E! office. Seacrest reportedly wanted Uzomah put away for violating probation—something today’s arrest could almost guarantee.

How miserable, stupid and lacking in a proper life of their own must this morons and misfits to stalk celebrities. Hope this guy Chidi Uzomah gets stuck not knowing what it is to walk the streets for a long time.

Ryan has the most annoying voice. I know this has nothing to do with the story, but seriously. He should shut up. All he does is talk during the radio show, geez, play some music will ya?
