When authorities first arrived to the scene, Dorian told cops that her boyfriend was shot by a drug dealer.

If convicted, Dorian could face up to life in prison.

Erin Andrews -- New War over Old Nude Video

Erin Andrews is back on the warpath over several images from her infamous (and illegally shot) nude peephole video -- after she discovered a website that refused to pull the pics down.

More than one year after the video first surfaced, Erin claims she can still find the images on TheDirty.com -- so she had her lawyer fire off a letter, demanding the site wipe them from cyberspace.

In the letter-- obtained by TMZ -- Erin's lawyer claims The Dirty is "unlawfully" posting the pics because "the copyright of these images belongs exclusively to Ms. Andrews" -- and posting them constitutes an invasion of her privacy.

Erin's lawyer wants The Dirty to erase any trace the stills may leave behind -- by 86'ing them "from all search engine databases, including, but not limited to, Google" ... or else face a serious lawsuit.

So far, the people at The Dirty don't seem to care -- in fact, after receiving the letter ... they reposted the pics at the top of their site.

It all went down Saturday night, when Dan -- an asst. coach at St. Mary's Prep in Michigan -- orchestrated a little halftime surprise for his girlfriend Chelsea ... who works with the cheerleading squad.

After shooing away the team mascot, Dan -- who scored the $500,000 grand prize on "BB10" -- dropped to one knee and whipped out a 2-carat diamond ring in front of a massive crowd.

We're told D&C are planning to tie the knot next summer.

Dina is currently holed up at a hotel in Palm Springs, CA -- which is a taxi cab ride away from the Betty Ford clinic in Rancho Mirage.

As we first reported, Michael tried to visit Lindsay yesterday -- but claims he wasn't allowed in the joint because Dina was armed with a protective order against him.

Ochocinco -- Taunting Atlanta Falcons with T-Shirts

Chad Ochocinco is up to his old tricks ... trying to mess with his next opponents -- the Atlanta Falcons -- by sending their defensive backs t-shirts with his mug plastered all over the front.

Sources close to Chad tell us the Cincinnati Bengals star shipped boxes of shirts featuring the "Mad Chad" character from his iPhone app to Falcons cornerbacks Brent Grimes, Dunta Robinson and Chris Owens and safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud.

If you recall, Chad sent gift baskets of deodorant to the Baltimore Ravens last year ... so they didn't sweat the matchup.  And in 2004, he sent Pepto-Bismol to the Cleveland Browns -- insisting they would be sick to their stomachs trying to cover him.

So why the t-shirts this year? We couldn't get an explanation from Chad ... but we're guessing he'll probably have some sort of explanation before Sunday's game.

NeNe Leakes -- The Makeup of a Diva on 'Apprentice'

The new cast of "Celebrity Apprentice" has only been together for 9 days -- but a diva has already emerged ... and sources tell TMZ, it's NeNe Leakes from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

1018_nene_leakes_Getty_EX
According to our spies -- NeNe has already earned a reputation for being the "difficult one" ... after an incident over her makeup this weekend.

We're told NeNe threw a tantrum because she hated the way her makeup artists dolled her up for the opening interviews -- so the "Housewives" star made them start over ... but she still wasn't satisfied.

After two makeovers, NeNe ultimately called the makeup crew off -- grabbed some tools and did the whole thing by herself.

Wonder if David Cassidy is having the same problem.

Tyra Banks -- I Fear My 'Mentally Unstable Stalker'

Tyra Banks is scared to death of a "mentally unstable celebrity stalker" who has allegedly bragged about killing "George Bush Jr." -- and now she's asking a judge for protection.

Tyra Banks stalker.
Tyra has requested a restraining order against 39-year-old Marten Williams, Jr. -- 6'2", 220 lbs -- claiming he has "targeted and harassed and stalked" Tyra and her family since 2006.

In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Tyra claims the man has a history of mental illness -- and that he believes "he killed George Bush Jr. and that Michael Jackson is alive and living in Long Beach."

Tyra also claims the man has left several "ominous frightening letters and items" at her Beverly Hills home -- including his prescription medication, L.A. County jail wristbands and note referencing a wedding ceremony set for 1/08/11... the day he believes he will marry Tyra.

In the docs -- filed by top gun lawyer Evan Spiegel -- Tyra states, "I am in fear from Mr. Williams for my personal safety, and that of those around me, including my family and employees."

Williams was just arrested earlier this month for trespassing on Tyra's property. Williams told cops he was bringing Tyra "offerings." He was later placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold ... but Tyra's people believe he may have already been released.

Tyra wants Williams to stay at least 100 yards away from her and her family -- fearing that Williams' conduct will "likely continue and escalate" unless the court steps in.

UPDATE: TMZ has learned ... Tyra was granted a temporary restraining order against Williams which is valid until October 28 -- when a hearing will be held to determine if the restraining order will become permanent.

Lindsay -- Going to Court, Begging for Rehab

Lindsay Lohan will obey the judge's order -- no small feat -- to be in court this Friday ... and TMZ has learned Sheriff's deputies are ready to take Lindsay back to jail, if necessary.

Lindsay Lohan rehab.
Law enforcement sources tell us LiLo will indeed leave the Betty Ford Center -- where she's been in treatment since September 27 -- to attend her probation violation hearing for a failed drug test. Judge Elden Fox had ordered Lindsay to be in court, but we know how that's gone in the past.

A source says Lindsay's legal team won't dispute the violation of probation ... but they're hopeful Judge Fox will send Lindsay back to rehab and not to jail because any interruption would severely disrupt her treatment, and she "has come a long way" during her time at Betty Ford. We're told Lindsay is ready and willing to stay in rehab for as long as Judge Fox wishes.

Just in case though -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Department has a plan in place to take her to jail. We're told deputies, both undercover and in uniform, will be in the courthouse with a vehicle warmed up and ready to take Linds to Lynwood Correctional Facility ... where she could be sentenced to a minimum of 30 days.
