Andrews on Stalker -- Throw Away the Key!
Erin Andrews' Peeping Tom won't be sentenced until February -- but if she had her way, Michael David Barrett would "never sees the light of day" for that scumbag move he pulled with a spy cam.
Andrews made the plea yesterday in court -- and drove the issue home for our camera last night at LAX before hopping onto a red eye.
Despite all the action that went down in court earlier in the day, Erin's head was still focused on the college football bowl games -- particularly, the BCS championship ... though she wussed out and refused to predict a winner.
Personally, we're goin' with Alabama.

Erin Andrews: I'm Not Barrett's Only Victim
Erin Andrews wants her stalker to "stay in jail as long as possible" -- because she claims Michael David Barrett "is a threat to women everywhere" and has "done this to other women."
Erin and her attorney Marshall Grossman just addressed the media outside of court, where Grossman backed Erin's statement by saying "there are well over a dozen other women who have been surreptitiously filmed and stalked by Mr. Barrett."
Erin said it was "difficult" facing her stalker today in court -- but she wants to raise awareness in women about situations like hers ... and wants changes to be made in hotel policies so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Erin Andrews' Peeping Tom Officially Cops Plea
The man accused of secretly videotaping Erin Andrews naked in multiple hotel rooms has just pled guilty to one count of interstate stalking.
Before Michael David Barrett pled guilty, Erin stood up and addressed the judge, saying, "I have nightmares about the sexual predator. I hope he never sees the light of day so no one else has to deal with this."
Barrett's sentencing is scheduled for February 22. Erin said to the judge, "He put the videos on the Internet for the world to see. I have been humiliated and embarrassed."
Erin also said since the tapes were released, she's been subjected to "crude comments ... and fans [at sporting events] say obscene things to me."

CBS Golf Announcer: I'll Get Fired If I Talk Tiger
Tiger Woods' name is golf announcer poison -- at least according to one CBS sportscaster who fears losing his job if he talks about golf's biggest story on the air.
Ian Baker-Finch -- former PGA golfer-turned-announcer -- told the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday, "Mate, if I say one word about Tiger, I will get fired."
TMZ called CBS for comment -- but so far, they're not talkin' either.
Tiger Woods -- No Stranger to Keeping Secrets
Tiger Woods had crisis managers bail him out of sticky situations with women long before Rachel Uchitel became a household name -- sources tell TMZ.
Several years before Tiger Woods married Elin Nordegren, his lawyers and PR firm got him out of a messy situation over an Orlando woman who hooked up with the golfer.
We're told Tiger had met a cocktail waitress at an Orlando bar and the two drove off together. They pulled over and stopped on the side of a remote road. A cop car drove by and the officer became suspicious and approached the vehicle. We're told there was an exchange between the officer and Tiger. It does not appear anyone was arrested or cited.
One of Tiger's handlers at the time tells TMZ Tiger's PR firm and lawyer were worried the woman might sell her story and they "negotiated a carefully-crafted settlement" with her -- in the end, she never sold or went public with her story.
Sources say there were other situations where Tiger's team resolved messy situations with women that "could reflect negatively on his squeaky-clean image." The reps were especially worried because of the morals clauses in various contracts Tiger had signed.

Frank McCourt: Jamie and BF Deceived Team
Frank McCourt claims his estranged wife Jamie McCourt is screwing with his baseball team -- the Los Angeles Dodgers -- and he's now asking the divorce judge to end the marriage and get Jamie out of his life for good -- STAT.
Frank filed legal documents this afternoon -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming last week, Jamie's boyfriend, ex-Dodger employee Jeff Fuller, went to Taiwan and met with "a high-ranking Taiwanese government official," falsely holding himself out as a Dodger official.
The Dodgers had been discussing the possibility of playing exhibition games in Taiwan in Spring, 2010. According to a declaration by Acey Kohrogi, Director of Asian Operations for the Dodgers, Fuller was pretending to represent the Dodgers in the Asian market.
McCourt claims in the docs that Jamie -- whom he fired as Dodgers CEO in October -- has had a negative impact on the Dodgers and Major League Baseball as she "drags her feet [and] promotes herself, directly and through her surrogate Fuller, as a co-owner of the team."
McCourt even included
, who works in the office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. Manfred wrote, "The Commissioner has asked me to urge you to resolve this matter as quickly as possible to avoid future problems of this type."
Frank is asking the judge to put the divorce on the fast track and get it over with immediately.
Jamie's rep, Michael Sitrick, tells TMZ, "Jeff took the trip on his own and any meetings he had or actions he took were not on behalf of Jamie or with the knowledge of Jamie." Sitrick says he didn't ask Jamie if she's ticked off with Jeff.

We're told several callers have threatened to hunt Uchitel down in New York and get her.
People have also made threats on her Facebook page, which she has now shut down.

Elin Nordegren's Swedish Fixer-Upper
TMZ has just obtained photos of the $2 million Swedish home recently purchased by Elin Nordegren -- and, let's put it this way ... $2 mil doesn't get you much in Sweden.
There are conflicting reports about the purchase of the home. Some stories claim Elin and Tiger Woods began negotiations for the home back in August. Other reports claim Elin sealed the deal by herself at the beginning of the month.
The house sits on 59 acres. So maybe that explains the price.
