Erin Andrews Suing Hotel and Peeping Tom For $10 Million

Erin Andrews wants money... and lots of it.

The ESPN reporter is suing for $10 million stemming from a 2008 incident in which a man by the name of Michael Barrett secretly video taped her through a hole while Erin was nude in her hotel room in Nashville.

In the suit, which was originally filed last year, and just refiled to ensure the statute of limitations did not run out, Andrews asks for $6 million from the West End Marriott (plus costs and interests) and another $4 million from Michael Barrett, who plead guilty to stalking her. In 2010, he was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison.

The suit alleges that the hotel was guilty of negligence for allowing Barrett – who had previously videotaped Andrews in other cities, according to prosecutors – to learn that she was staying at the hotel and book a neighboring room.

What do you think, does she have a good case to get the full amount?

"Dancing With the Stars'" Maksim Chmerkovskiy Pulled Over By Police

For the better part of 2009 Erin Andrews was on the good side of the law -- well now her dance partner on Dancing With the Stars Maksim Chmerkovskiy is on the bad side of the law.

According to TMZ after last night's broadcast of DWTS Maksim was pulled over for burning rubber after dining with Ms. Andrews.

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy tangoed with the law last night after partying in West Hollywood.

Our TMZ camera rolled as Maksim left STK after a dinner with his partner Erin Andrews -- got into his Mercedes -- and punched it down La Cienega ... burning rubber as he left the restaurant.

Seconds later, Maksim was staring at red and blue lights in his rear view from an L.A. County Sheriff's car who pulled his butt over.

Maksim stopped ... and had a little chit chat with the cop ... who apparently let the dancer waltz off without a ticket.

The cop must have voted for them.

Erin Andrews Danced On Camera Long Before "Dancing With the Stars"

You may not know this but Erin Andrews' Dancing With the Stars gig isn't the first time the ESPN reporter has danced on TV. Back in her early 20's she took part in  Darrin Henson's Dance Grooves workout video commercial. Erin gives her testimonial to the camera at about :45 seconds in. The ad also includes music by ‘N Sync and Britney Spears from when they were cool... not that Brit isn't still cool.

We saw this posted on People.com today and thought we would share with you.

Erin Andrews To Stay on "Dancing With the Stars" Despite E-Mail Threats

Recent email death threats towards Erin Andrews have surfaced. The emails sent to The Dan Patrick Show including one that read, "Somebody should shoot her in the face."

Andrews told People of the most recent threats,

"I have a dance on Monday and I don't want to let [partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy] down, I don't want to let my family down, and I don't want to let myself down, I'm not going to stop living my life."

Andrews is dedicated to the competition, she says. "I don't quit on things. It's not an option for me."

In 2009 Michael David Barrett was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for video taping Andrews naked in her hotel room through a peephole.

And we're glad she isn't quitting DWTS.

Erin Andrews Nude Video Shot By Someone Closely Related To Her Job

It's a possibility that the video that surfaced on the internet of ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews naked in her hotel room was done by someone within the production crew of the sports network.

As TMZ reports,

ESPN has released the following obtuse yet telling statement:

"In conjunction with Erin's attorneys and appropriate authorities, we are exploring all possibilities."

As we told you yesterday, six videos clips show the ESPN reporter walking around naked in two different hotel rooms and there is evidence the culprit was familiar with Erin's travel schedule as well as her accommodations.

This has been a total invasion of privacy, it's only a matter of time before the peeping tom is caught.
