Erin Andrews wants $335,000 (!!) in restitution

According to the Smoking Gun, Erin Andrews has requested that Michael Barrett pay her $335,000 in restitution. The U.S. Attorney's Office apparently agrees, stating that Barrett's peephole offenses have had a "devastating impact on . . . Andrews' emotional state, and the emotional distress caused to her and her family cannot be overstated. She has lived in fear for her physical safety."

Now, I'd agree that Andrews surely has suffered some emotional distress. Even with that smoking hot figure, celebrities probably do freak out when their naked bodies are posted on the Internet (assuming, of course, that the celebrity himself or herself isn't responsible for their naked bodies to be leaked onto the Internet). It's embarrassing and probably does cause some amount of distress.

But "living in fear for her physical safety"? Come on. The guy installed tiny cameras in tiny peepholes in adjoining hotel rooms. It's not like the guy was armed or intended to injure or kill her. He just wanted to photograph her naked and possibly make a buck off her aforementioned smoking hot body. I don't know why she feels scared for her life.

I just think she's building a case for her $335,000. Nice little windfall. Anyway, Barrett, who pleaded guilty to felony stalking, will be sentenced on March 15.

A Note As You Watch The Last Round of the Home Run Derby

From Jordan: "Make sure to point out that ESPN will only show Erin Andrew's left side profile because she was hit on the right side of her face by a foul ball off the bat of Alex Cora last Wednesday"

Thanks!

Passing that along to you. Final round is just starting. I'll take Prince Fielder. He has hit some BOMBS. If they decide to trade him in the next few years as he gets closer to free agency, someone will give up a lot for that man.

I love the kids of the players at the Home Run Derby, especially all those rooting on Albert Pujols's on as The Machine tried to win this thing.

I always have liked the Derby. Unlike the Slam Dunk Contest (until the past two years) or the Hardest Shot, watching guys hitting balls out of the park never gets old for me. I just wish they would replace the announcers.
