Scarlett Johansson hacker apologizes, says his curiosity turned into addiction

Filed under: Crime, News and tagged:

Christopher Chaney, the 35-year-old man accused of hacking into the personal email account of roughly 50 celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Mila Kunis, and Christina Aguilera, gave an exclusive interview to a local Fox affiliate in Florida attempting to explain his actions and apologize. ”[The hacking] started as a curiosity and it turned into just being addicted to seeing the behind-the-scenes of what’s going on with these people you see on the big screen every day,” he said. “I was almost relieved months ago when [authorities] came and took the computer and told me what was going on, that they knew. I didn’t know how to stop doing it myself…. I wasn’t attempting to break into emails and get stuff to sell or purposefully put it on the Internet.”

He said he doesn’t remember when, how, or with whom that “pure curiosity” started. ”I deeply apologize. I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience,” he said. “And these people don’t have privacy to begin with. And I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have. And I’ve had like six months to think about it. It eats at me. When you’re doing it, you’re not thinking about what’s going on with who you’re doing it to.”

Chaney said he plans to plead guilty to all charges.

Nicolas Cage arrested in New Orleans on charges of domestic abuse and public drunkenness

Filed under: Movies, News and tagged:

Nicolas Cage was arrested in New Orleans and charged with domestic abuse, disturbing the peace and public drunkenness after an altercation with his wife, Alice Kim, on Dumaine Street in the French Quarter late Friday night. A rep for the 47-year-old actor did not immediately return EW’s request for comment. The New Orleans Police Department has issued the following statement detailing the couple’s argument.

“[Cage] and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting. She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address. There were no visible signs of injury on his wife’s arm. The actor then began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi. At that point, an officer who had been flagged down by onlookers drove up on the couple, immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated, and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling. The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-Up.”
According to People, Cage was released Saturday afternoon (after Dog the Bounty Hunter star Duane “Dog” Chapman posted his $11,000 bond) with a May 31 court date.

Howard Stern sues Sirius XM over bonus

Tagged:

Howard Stern and his agent filed a lawsuit against Sirius XM Radio Inc., Stern’s employer for the next five years, claiming it owes them stock awards for helping to grow its subscribers. Per the AP, Stern’s production company, One Twelve Inc., and his agent Don Buchwald, say Sirius awarded them a bonus after Stern started with the company in January 2006, but failed to do so the next four years when its growth targets were also exceeded. Sirius has issued the following statement: “SIRIUS XM just signed a contract through 2015 with Howard Stern, and he is a valued part of our company. We were thus surprised and disappointed by the subsequent legal action initiated by his production company and agent. We have met all of our obligations under the terms of our 2004 agreement with Howard, his agent and production company.”
