Kellie Pickler will return to the "American Idol" stage

Tuesday, as Paula Abdul revealed Wednesday night, the top eight "American Idol" contestants will perform songs from the year they were born. Hope you like '80s music.

Then, the night after the top 8 Cyndi Lauper it up, Season 5 finalist Kellie Pickler will return to the "American Idol" stage to serenade the contestants with her new ode to girl-power, “Best Days of Your Life.”

Since her time on "Idol" three years ago, Kellie Pickler has been charming the country community with her super-hot-girl-next-door vibe and charmingly ditzy one-liners. Her second album recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album Chart. But the real question is, why has nobody thought to make a reality show about this girl yet?

Kellie co-wrote “Best Days of Your Life” — the song she will perform on "Idol" — with fellow fair-haired country star Taylor Swift. In the fun and flirty music video for the tune, Taylor plays guitar and sings backup. And their collaborations don't stop there. Kellie is getting set to open for Taylor on her 52-city Fearless Tour 2009.

Robert O'Ryan was arrested by Los Angeles police on Tuesday

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A restraining order has been issued against a man authorities say tried to break onto the set of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" to meet Shawn Johnson.

Court records show an order was issued against Robert O'Ryan, who was arrested by Los Angeles police on Tuesday. According to documents that accompanied the restraining order application, O'Ryan was stopped by security at CBS Studios, the lot where "Dancing With the Stars" is staged, after he jumped on a fence on Monday afternoon.

Police later searched his car and found a shotgun and handgun — both loaded — as well as duct tape and love letters.

A sworn statement by Johnson's mother, Teri, states that she was told by police that he believed he was meant to have a child with her daughter.

Johnson, 17, is a gold medalist in gymnastics, and one of the celebrity contestants on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

She is "in fear of her life," her parents' attorney wrote in a restraining order application.

The application had sought protection for Johnson's partner, Mark Ballas, but he was not included in the restraining order issued Wednesday.

Her parents requested and were granted the restraining order on Wednesday. A hearing on whether to grant a lengthy restraining order will be held April 14.

O'Ryan, 34, is being held on $35,000 bail on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public (a felony). Court records do not indicate whether he has a lawyer.

The records state that he told security guards and police that he packed up all his belongings and traveled to California from Florida in the hopes of being with Johnson.

A report by security guards at CBS Studios states that O'Ryan was carrying an expired concealed weapons permit.

A call placed to an ABC spokeswoman was not returned Wednesday.
