Former American Idol judge Paula Abdul hadn’t spoken to pal Ryan Seacrest since abruptly departing the reality competition last August, but Pauls quicked reached out to Ryan after hearing a stalker armed with a knife burst into the E! Building in hot pursuit of the Hardest-Working Man in Hollywood, celebrity snitch Mike Walker writes in the Nov. 23 issue of The National Enquirer.

“Paula had faced the horror of stalker Paula Goodspeed — who once sent her a box of razor blade, then killed herself outside Paula’s home — so she phoned Ryan to share hard-earned safety tips,” an insider dished.

According to Mike’s snitch, Paula’s come up with four tips that celebrities can use to keep themselves safe from obsessed fans: “(1.) Take all threats seriously; (2.) Pay attention to everything and everyone….; (3.)Realize that restraining orders can’t stop a stalker; and (4.) Never assume a stalker has given up — that’s just when they’ll reappear.”

We’d like to suggest investing in a good can of pepper spray, but Paula is the expert on these things.

The source added: “Paula emphasized she wasn’t trying to scare Ryan –she just wanted to educate him about the dangers. It was a shocking call, but he thanked her for it.”

Ryan Seacrest is opening up about how he’s doing after the recent arrest of a man accused of stalking him.

“Thanks, I am fine,” Seacrest wrote on his Twitter page, responding to someone who wanted to know if he was alright.

On Friday, the American Idol host was granted a restraining against Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr., who is accused in the court papers of stalking, harassing and violently pursuing Seacrest for the past two months.

The man alleged to be stalking Seacrest was arrested inside the E! building on Friday, one of the media mogul’s places of work, TMZ reported.

According to the Web site, Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. had a knife on him when he was taken into custody at 9:40 AM PDT on Friday.

On Friday afternoon, a judge granted Seacrest a temporary restraining order against the man, requiring him to stay at least 100 feet away from the host.

In September, police arrested Uzomah after he tried to enter Seacrest’s vehicle as the TV host and radio DJ left a charity appearance at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Uzomah pleaded guilty last month to three misdemeanors: assault, battery and possession of a switchblade knife, stemming from another incident involving Seacrest.
