Okay, so maybe there's a reason why women should just use investment bankers for expensive meals: It seems that they can be really awful boyfriends. For instance, there's the J.P. Morgan banker who cheated on his wife with a co-worker, only to follow the co-worker to London and stalk her. And then there's this alleged email from an investment banker who went on ONE date with a woman, "I’m disappointed in you. I’m disappointed that I haven’t gotten a response to my voicemail and text messages... I suggest that you make a sincere apology to me for giving me mixed signals. I feel led on by you." more ›

Some patriotic displays are best left to the imagination. more ›

It took jurors less than five hours long to find "superfan" Charles Nagel guilty of stalking Law and Order: Criminal Intent star Kathryn Erbe.

Justin Massler, the Ivana Trump enthusiast/cartoonist, was in court last week for a hearing about his alleged stalking of the socialite. While he joked that he really meant to stalk Trump's mother Ivana and that his next target would be Barbara Bush, Massler opened up to Courthouse Confessions' Steve Hirsch, explaining, "I didn't picture being here, celebrity stalking, at 28, you know?...Basically I was sending some twitters and emails dude. I just got charged for stalking. Some internet bullshit. I just wrote her, I said, 'I want to marry you. Celebrity Apprentice sucks'... Because I said her show sucks, that's probably why I got arrested. I feel like she's too uptight at this point. I can't be with a woman that anal." more ›

Lorne's Stalker Case Dismissed

Lorne's Stalker Case Dismissed

Last summer Lorne Michaels's "stalker," 31-year-old Evans Pidhajecky, went to court for allegedly "mailing, calling or visiting Michaels at least six times" in 2007.

Today reports are coming in that the case has now "been adjourned for six months. The judge says it will be dismissed and sealed if he stays out of trouble." Criminal Court Judge Robert Mandelbaum also "ordered Pidhajecky to undergo therapy twice a week for six months," and of course leave Lorne alone. This also means that Lorne is still to blame for his own bad ideas. more ›
