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.
Remember the good times we had with (at) Michael Jackson('s expense)?

A lot of memories have surfaced of the good times that pop icon and musical genius Michael Jackson provided the world in the wake of his untimely and unfortunate death. However, an elephant in the room has wedged its wide butt in between the happy memories that range from "Billy Jean" to "Rockin' Robin," other than the eye-bleedingly bad Moonwalker movie.
Jackson's life outside of the recording studio and in the blood-soaked pages of the supermarket tabloids provided a lot of fodder for comedies and comedians that turned the man into a punchline just as fast as the radio waves turned him into a legend.
