Police in Los Angeles charged a knife-wielding man with stalking Ryan Seacrest at his offices at the E! television network this week, said TMZ.com. According to court documents, Chidi Uzomah, 25, entered the building carrying a large folding knife and demanded to see the American Idol host, who was elsewhere at the time. Uzomah, already on probation for attacking one of Seacrest’s bodyguards in September, was held in custody, with bail set at $150,000.
