Uma Thurman's alleged stalker pleads not guilty
A former psychiatric patient pleaded not guilty Friday to stalking Uma Thurman for nearly two years.
Jack Jordan, 35, has been held on $10,000 bail since his arrest in October. A felony complaint said he had tried unsuccessfully on Nov. 8, 2005, to get into Thurman's trailer on a movie set in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood.
Authorities say he also sent Thurman e-mails and letters, followed her and threatened to kill himself if he saw the 37-year-old actress with another man.
He was arraigned Friday on an attempted coercion charge in Manhattan's state Supreme Court. He could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
The day after his arrest, Jordan's family had him involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. After his release, he sent numerous e-mails addressed to Thurman and other members of her family during August and September of 2006, the criminal complaint says.
Last August, it says, he appeared three or four times a week at Thurman's home, asking to see her and being told to leave.
Thurman has starred in “Pulp Fiction,” “The Producers” and the “Kill Bill” movies.
Flatley on ‘Dancing
With the Stars'
Michael Flatley will take the stage on ABC's “Dancing With the Stars” next week.
Flatley, 49, is the former star of the Irish dance spectacle “Riverdance.” He has gone on to create his own shows, “Lord of the Dance,” “Feet of Flames” and “Celtic Tiger.”
The champion Irish step dancer-choreographer will perform with members of his dance team on Tuesday's show, Scott Gorenstein, a representative for Flatley, said Thursday.
Colbert helps raise money for S.C. schools
All it took for a charity to raise money for South Carolina schools was a brief mention by Stephen Colbert.
When Colbert announced last month that he was running for president, the Charleston native and host of Comedy Central's “The Colbert Report” also asked viewers to give to DonorsChoose.org, which helps fulfill teacher wish lists for books, globes or other classroom materials in schools in the United States.
“So I encourage everyone, go on, make donations to teachers in South Carolina, let's make a difference,” Colbert said.
The brief comment by the 43-year-old talk-show host - who has since dropped his bid for the White House - raised $59,000 in 10 days and reached 13,000 public school students in South Carolina, said Peter Bloom, the group's national chairman.
