Scarlett Johansson Wiretapper Christopher Chaney Comes Clean To Florida Station

Christopher Chaney, the 35 year-old Jacksonville resident who was arrested on Wednesday for hacking into the accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, and Mila Kunis, has been kind enough to spill his guts to WAWS in Jacksonville, meaning everyone writing about him no longer has to remember to put “allegedly” from in front of his crimes.

Justice For A Naked Scarlett Johansson: Alleged Cell Phone Hacker Arrested

About a month ago, some teenage boy, somewhere, blew out his birthday candles and made a very specific wish. The next day, two pictures of a naked Scarlett Johansson hit the Internet (link is NSFW). Coincidence? maybe. But the released photos were already in the line of fire for authorities, who had been seeking out the perpetrator behind the hacking of celebrity phones and email accounts since at least March. On Wednesday, an indictment was unsealed in the U.S. District Court in California, revealing that Christopher Chaney, a 35 year-old Jacksonville resident, was believed to be behind the hacking. He was charged with eight counts of aggravated identity theft, nine counts of wiretapping, and nine counts of computer hacking. If found guilty on all charges, he could face 121 years in prison.

MTV hosted its annual Movie Awards last night, and it was its usual effervescent cocktail of entertaining self-mockery and pure promotion. While the show provided many watercooler moments, it was the rather hackneyed bit of Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johannson‘s lip-lock that raised the bushy eyebrows of CNN host Rick Sanchez. The daytime host of Rick’s List played the part of concerned father when he asked his Carol Costello how he’d explain two women kissing to a daughter sitting on his lap? Aghast!

Last night’s SNL was a good — and timely — one, complete with a pretty scathing takedown of President Obama‘s accomplishments so far in his almost-year in office. Never mind Madonna taking down Gaga by the throat. And no F-bombs! All in all, one of the best eps in recent memory. Videos and full recap inside.
