Tyra Banks testifies in stalking trial

Tags:

Tyra Banks took the stand today in New York City at the trial of the man accused of stalking the host of America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. Brady Green, 38, was arrested last year when he tried to enter the Manhattan building where The Tyra Banks Show tapes. Banks testified that scared staffers warned her to stay in her dressing room.  "I was about to leave, and a bunch of people from my staff were like, ‘Stop, no, you can’t leave!’" Banks recalled. "I know I have fans, but I’ve never in my entire career had my staff react this way." While Banks said she hired additional security in the wake of the incident, and that she still fears for her safety, Green’s attorney portrayed his client as an innocuous fan. If convicted of stalking, harassment and criminal trespass, Green could be sentenced to 90 days in jail.

Judge's ruling paves the way for return of Rihanna's borrowed jewelry

A Los Angeles judge ruled today that the LAPD can take photographs of several jewelry items for evidence in Chris Brown’s trial, with the understanding that the jewelry itself will likely be returned to Rihanna as requested, a spokesperson for the L.A. district attorney tells EW. The LAPD has held roughly $1 million worth of Rihanna’s borrowed jewelry and accessories in evidence since she was allegedly attacked by Brown in February. Neither Brown nor Rihanna was present at today’s hearing. The judge also set a date of May 28 for the next preliminary hearing in Brown’s trial on felony counts of assault and making criminal threats.

UPDATE: Rihanna’s attorney, Donald Etra, tells EW that the jewelry will most likely be returned to his client later today: "I expect it to happen before the end of the day."
