More amusing than yet another celebrity in court (now jail, as it were) is Jake Byrd: the loyal fan who supports our (in)famous entertainers -- no matter what the charge -- at each of their court appearances.'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC) reminded us of Byrd's consistent enthusiasm with footage of his vocal reactions following O.J. Simpson's arraignment and Paris Hilton's DUI hearing.
His most recent cause celebre was Lindsay Lohan's sentencing on July 6. Standing vigilant outside the courthouse, Byrd wore the actress' mug on his T-shirt, below the word "LINNOCENT!" As security rushed LiLo past the crush of journalists and photographers, Byrd stood in the crowd shouting, "Lindsay! Fight for your right to party!! Make me your one call!"
Later he spotted Lindsay's dad Michael and managed a hug from him. "Good luck to you, buddy," said Byrd.
