Guilty verdicts in 'Beach Boy' John Stamos case

[Ed Roach]

A Michigan couple were convicted Thursday of trying to extort $680,000 from actor John Stamos by threatening to sell old photos of him with strippers and cocaine to the tabloids unless he paid up.

Allison Coss, 24, and Scott Sippola, 31, were found guilty of conspiracy and using e-mail to threaten a person's reputation — charges that could land them in prison for up to five years.

The two were arrested in December in an FBI sting after Stamos' lawyer complained that the actor was the target of an extortion attempt. No photos ever surfaced.

Dozens of fans waited to congratulate Stamos, 46, the former "ER" and "Full House" star, as he left the federal courthouse in Marquette, Mich.

I'm surprised that Stamos didn't use the occasion to perform a rendition of Forever....

Just posted this in the thread about the show in Coney Island last night.  In looking for info about Stamos being on Entourage this coming week, this article I found touches on the verdict, The Beach Boys, and his appearance on Entourage:  http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b191051_john_stamos_embraces_beach_boys.html?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories
