The FBI just released the grand jury indictment of a man who allegedly hacked into the email accounts of 50 victims, including dozens of celebrities.

The indictment was issued against 35-year-old Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida.  He was arrested this morning by FBI agents, on charges of identity theft, wiretapping and other charges.

According to federal officials, Chaney would use public information to access email accounts of his alleged victims, and then access computers and cell phones under the control of his victims.

Some of the alleged victims include Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and celebrity stylist Simone Harouche. Some of the ill-gotten materials included naked photos.

As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell us Chaney allegedly acted alone, and got no money for his alleged misdeeds -- rather, he did it for the thrill.

Chaney faces 121 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts.

'16 & Pregnant' Couple -- Allowed to See Their Kid Again ... Under Supervision

Filed under: 16 and Pregnant, Celebrity Justice, Photo Galleries

1012_16_pregnant_family_reunited_launch_EX
The "16 & Pregnant" couple who had their daughter taken away by authorities last month -- because their house was covered in feces -- finally saw their kid again this week ... and TMZ has obtained pics of the happy 4-hour reunion.

As we previously reported, the Department of Human Services in Arkansas took away Joshua and Ebony Rendon's 2-year-old daughter Jocelyn ... after discovering the couple's deplorable feces-smeared living conditions -- and police then arrested them for child endangerment.

But the couple has since cleaned up their act -- and in return, DHS has awarded them visitation of their daughter twice a week ... for two hours at at time ... with a supervisor.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, E&J are serious about regaining full custody of their girl -- and to prove they mean business .. they've enrolled in parenting classes and therapy.

A court date has been set for November 10th to decide if they'll get their daughter back.

Former Boston Red Sox stud Johnny Damon says his former teammate Jonathan Papelbon earned himself the right to party in New Orleans last weekend ... despite the fact the Sox had just skidded their way out of the playoffs.

Damon -- who played for Tampa Bay last season -- was leaving Boa in Hollywood last night ... when we asked about the photos of the Red Sox closer firing off beads on Bourbon street.

Damon replied, "[losing is] never easy and Jonathan Papelbon has had a great career so far ... so he can do whatever he wants."

He added, "I'm glad he's enjoying himself, I wish he was on my team."

Cardiologist Testifies: Dr. Conrad Murray Messed Up Big Time

Filed under: Conrad Murray Trial

Cardiologist -- Dr. Alon Steinberg Testifies
Updated 10/12/11 at 08:45 AM

1012_cardiologist Dr. Alon Steinberg -- one of the leading cardiologists for the California Medical Board -- just told the jury ... Dr. Conrad Murray demonstrated an "extreme deviation" from standard practices in his care for Michael Jackson.

* Dr. Steinberg made it clear he is a cardiologist... not an anesthesiologist.
* Dr. Steinberg said he reviewed Murray's case relying solely on transcripts from his police interview because he wanted "to judge Dr. Murray on his very own words."
* Steinberg found 6 separate and distinct deviations of standard of care – each one amounting to "gross negligence."
* He said Propofol should only be used for procedures in a hospital and should never be used for sleep.
* Steinberg told Walgren he's never heard of anyone using Propofol for sleep.
* Steinberg also found that Murray lacked basic equipment in case of an emergency.
* Murray didn't have an assistant in case something went wrong.
* Murray's biggest mistake... he didn't call 911.  Steinberg told jurors that's the first thing he should have done.
* Steinberg says Murray had no idea what he was doing ... After calling 911 Murray should have fiven him Flumazenil -- an antidote -- then he should have given him air through an ambu bag.  Instead, Murray went for chest compressions ...  which MJ didn't need since his heart was still beating.
* When Murray does finally call for help, he calls MJ's assistant ... which caused further delay.
* Steinberg says that for every minute of delay there's less and less chance the patient will survive.
* Steinberg called Murray's behavior "bizarre."
* Another huge deviation ... Murray did not take notes. This is important not only for insurance and legal purposes but also to make sure everything is documented so that no mistakes are made. Not one single vital sign was written down. That caused confusion in the emergency room because doctors couldn't tell what MJ was given.
* Steinberg told the jury, the breeches in care directly contributed to the untimely death of Michael Jackson, saying if these deviations hadn't happened, Mr. Jackson would still be alive."
* Steinberg said that even if we assume MJ did take the fatal dose, Murray still would have been responsible for MJ's death. He said leaving MJ alone in that room was like leaving a baby on a countertop.

Wait, what?

Jessica Alba Battles the Belly Bandit

A lot of famous hot moms appear to be fans of the Belly Bandit.

Jessica Alba isn't one of them.

The actress has sued the makers of the Belly Bandit, a device that supposedly helps shrink and tone tummies after pregnancy, saying that her photo and name were used on packaging and in a celebrity testimonial on their website without her consent.

The Valentine's Day star is demanding that any mention of her be removed, ASAP. But since they were allegedly capitalizing on her fame for a little while...

Why not get paid?

Alba is asking for at least $4 million to compensate for alleged violation of the common law right of publicity, unfair business practices and unjust enrichment, according to the lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court. She also wants a permanent injunction barring Caden Companies from ever using her name to sell a product ever again.

And what do you know?

Alba's name and photo are nowhere to be found on the Belly Bandit website now, though they don't seem to be hurting for celebrity endorsements in the meantime.

Aside from Kourtney Kardashian, who designed a Limited Edition Belly Bandit, there are words of praise posted on the website from Christina Applegate, Minnie Driver, Jewel, Selma Blair, Bethenny Frankel and Brooke Mueller.

And Alba's postbaby bod remains a mystery of nature.

Backstage at DWTS: Derek Hough Sets Record Straight on Injury While Stars Mourn Shocking Loss

It's more fun than doing it alone

EXCLUSIVE!

"It's just a little ping."

This is what Derek Hough jokes of the injury he suffered while rehearsing for tonight's Dancing with the Stars.

Sure, he looked fine while dancing with sister/guest star Julianne to an incredibly challenging jive, but is he OK? And will he be able to compete next week?

Plus, what is going on with the Crazy Town voting on this show?!

"Yes, I dislocated my shoulder," Derek confirmed to us after the show. "This week it was bothering me a little bit. I had pain in my neck and I was overcompensating and it went into my shoulder."

But fear not, Hough fans. Derek insists the injury won't  keep him from the ballroom. "I'll be fine. It happens in dancing. You move on."

What also happens? Sometimes you just freeze, sadly, if you're Chynna Phillips. And she paid the price tonight for doing just that, getting the boot despite her standing as a front-runner.

"I really thought she was the one to beat!" Ricki Lake admitted. "She had such beautiful lines and I'm so sad for her."

"I will miss her dearly as a friend," lamented Nancy Grace.

 "It's sad but it's meant to be," Chynna told us after getting eliminated. "I feel bad, but you know, it's another day. A new day has dawned. Time to move on." Hold on for one more day? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Oh, and as if Derek's jive with Julianne weren't already impressive enough, he had to go and tell us they hardly rehearsed. "We were very nervous! I think it was probably the first time we danced it from beginning to end."

Don't tell that to Carson Kressley, who he cracked: "Would someone please dip me in a little bit of that DNA?  I really want to be submerged in some Houghness and come out doing leaping splits!"

Don't we all, Carson. Don't we all.

Were you shocked by Chynna's ouster? Hit the comments.

Ashton Kutcher's Alleged Other Woman Talks: "It Wasn't Weird or Perverted"

When it comes to Ashton Kutcher's rumored bad behavior in San Diego last month, when he supposedly hooked up with 22-year-old Sara Leal, and the slew of tabloid covers that came with it, there's been a lot of, "Well, who really knows?"

Despite the media-driven games of where's-the-ring and are-they-speaking, Kutcher and Demi Moore went about their business, attending Kabbalah services during the Jewish High Holy Days and going camping together just this weekend.

The actors' reps have also remained mum as the mill churned, despite repeated requests for comment.

But now, Leal herself has spoken out on what supposedly happened between her and Kutcher. And, though it doesn't sound as if she'll be tattooing his name on her neck anytime soon, she didn't draw us a pretty picture.

READ: What's Going on With Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's Marriage?

Leal told highest-bidder Us Weekly that a friend was having a party next door on the night she ended up in Kutcher's hotel suite. He was in San Diego the weekend of Sept. 23 with a bunch of male friends.

"He just came up and kissed me," Leal said, adding that they ended up naked in a hot tub with another girl. "I didn't think it was out of the ordinary. I wasn't self-conscious about getting naked."

The other girl in the hot tub asked Kutcher if he was married, according to Leal's account, to which he replied that he was separated.

"Don't Believe the Hype," Kutcher tweeted on Sept. 29 after reports of his alleged encounter with Leal started to leak, along with, "When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an ASS out of U and ME."

Well, someone has made an ass out of somebody.

According to Leal, at around 6 a.m. on Sept. 24 (Kutcher and Moore's sixth wedding anniversary, alas), "he lost his towel" and they had sex.

"He was good," Leal said. "It wasn't weird or perverted."

She told Us that she and the Two and a Half Men star talked politics (he asked if she was a Republican, Leal said) and astrology.

Leal said that Kutcher told her, "'I enjoy things like this because I'm an actor 90 percent of the time and it's fake. It's nice to have moments that are real.'"

Kutcher's rep did not immediately return another request for comment about the Us Weekly article.

We have a feeling we'll know a lot more about what's real really soon.
