The suspect, David Ajemian, was arrested on Friday when he tried to attend a taping of NBC’s “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” program at Rockefeller Center, the police said. The priest is being held in jail for a court-ordered psychiatric examination, and is due back in court tomorrow.
Court papers quote from menacing postcards and letters — at least some written on a parish letterhead — that Father Ajemian is alleged to have sent to Mr. O’Brien’s home and television studio for more than a year. The letters continued even after the priest was asked to stop, law enforcement officials said.
A Feb. 20 letter said: “I’m told by some of those officious little usher people that you’re overbooked. Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans? You owe me big-time, pal. I want a public confession before I even consider giving you absolution.”
An April 26 letter, signed Padre, said, “I am not Seung Cho,” apparently alluding to the gunman at Virginia Tech. The letter continued: “Even if I did once look out on that dark and dreaded doorway on West 72 Street, remember Frank Costello once dodged a bullet in your building, and so can you.” The gangster Frank Costello was shot and wounded in the lobby of the Majestic on West 72nd Street in 1957.
The priest said in his correspondence that he had followed Mr. O’Brien’s career since they both attended Harvard.
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston said that Father Ajemian has been placed on leave, The Associated Press said.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “Oh and Father Crazy. I just talked to God and he said he’s much more of a Leno fan. You effed up big time.”

Lily Allen is mostly known for her alleged drunken antics in various locales followed by cancelled performances, but it looks like she’s got a new gig as the Braun girl. Comparing the ad to the photo from last night, it looks like someone at Braun is quite the little airbrusher.
People reports that Usher and Tameka Foster have married in Atlanta after abruptly canceling the one planned in the Hamptons last Saturday.
The two reportedly exchanged vows in the office of his lawyer – a far different affair than the event planned for last weekend at music mogul L.A. Reid’s Sagaponack, N.Y., home. The couple had spent $10,000 on invitations alone, and had lined up singer Robin Thicke to perform and renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, along with Sylvia’s of Harlem, to cook.
There were rumors that the wedding was cancelled because of arguments and Usher’s mother not approving of Foster, but the couple insisted that it was Foster’s hospitalization that caused the postponement, and nothing more. “I was pushing myself way too hard. But I am fine and the baby is fine.”
Usher Raymond is determined to sanitize all the Usher news around, even if he’s got to strong-arm his biggest fan site with legal action in order to keep it that way.
But the webmaster of the site told TMZ, she’s willing to slug it out in court with her favorite R&B star, just to make her point.
Erika Jackson, webmaster of usherforever.com, tells TMZ that she’s been hit with a full-scale legal blitz from a tag-team of both Usher’s personal lawyer and his label’s lawyers, and claims that the trouble started earlier this year when she refused to turn her site — the self-proclaimed “biggest Usher site” on the Internet — into a sanitized official site. (The legal threats were first reported by the New York Daily News). *which was posted on ONTD the other day*
Not long after, says Jackson, the lawyers tried to bring the hammer down on her, demanding that she “assign the url usherforever.com” to LaFace Records, Usher’s label, because it might confuse fans into thinking that it had an affiliation to Usher. Jackson points out that other sites — like Usher.net and UsherRaymond.org — that are closer in name to the singer — haven’t been accused of being “confusing.”
Usher attacked the media and even fans last week in an open letter to People, saying that speculation about his relationship with fiancee Tameka Foster and the reported firing of his mom as manager were “disturbing.” A defiant Jackson says that she won’t lay down and that she’s prepared to go to court with Usher.
Neither Usher’s label rep nor his lawyer responded to requests for comment
