A former doctor who admitted to stalking Shania Twain has been denied bail.
Dr. Giovanni Palumbo - who interrupted the country singer's video testimony at his trial in September to declare he would plead guilty - has had his request to be freed until his next court date on November 15 "quite reluctantly" denied by Justice Richard Schneider.
Palumbo was outraged by the decision and launched into another outburst after swearing under his breath.
He said: "You know you're all very sick, you really are - it's so sad. Have fun, because I'm going to keep having fun, wherever I am. ... What a bunch of psychopaths. Woo hoo.
"Shame, shame, shame. Shame on all of you!"
The judge cited an insufficient release plan as the basis for his decision after nobody in Palumbo's family volunteered to care for him.
Schneider explained "some degree of supervision" may have been required for his release, adding: "Nobody at this juncture wants to see Mr. Palumbo in custody unless it's demonstrably necessary."
