Allison Coss and Scott Sippola have been convicted in the extortion plot against John Stamos earlier today. The jury issued a guilty verdict for the plot for the couple to get $680,000 out of the actor.

People reports:

Allison Coss and Scott Sippola allegedly told Stamos, 46, they had photos of him with cocaine and strippers and would sell them to the tabloids. Federal prosecutors said they never had the compromising pictures.

The couple were convicted of conspiracy and using e-mail to threaten a person’s reputation. The charge carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.

I guess that’s a load off of his shoulders….hmmm?

After separating from Rebecca Romijn in 2004, John Stamos headed to Florida for a little R&R. The couple split in April of 2004, and it’s now being reported that during Spring Break of the same year, John may have had a little too much fun.

After having a brief fling during Spring Break, a then 17-year-old girl tried to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from John Stamos in exchange for keeping her mouth shut about the affair.

Stamos did not say a word at yesterday’s hearing. His attorney, William Sobel, issued a statement through publicist Matt Polk that said: “The allegations made today in the courtroom by the defendants’ attorneys during opening statements will not be proven because they are simply untrue.”

Allison Coss, 24, and Scott Sippola, 31, both of Marquette, are accused of conspiring to extort $680,000 from Stamos by telling him they had photos of him with cocaine and strippers. Prosecutors contend the pictures don’t exist, and FBI agents testified Monday they found no such photos while searching the defendants’ house after their arrest.

Henderson and Assistant U.S. Attorney Maarten Vermaat agreed in their opening statements that Coss and Stamos met in Orlando, Fla., in 2004 – shortly after Stamos had separated from his wife, actress and supermodel Rebecca Romijn. The couple divorced the next year.

Henderson said Stamos, now 46, noticed Coss and another girl at a club, asked friends to bring them over and later invited the star-struck teens to his hotel room. Stamos ordered a drink for Coss even after she told him she was 17, Henderson said.

Two women who worked as strippers eventually showed up in the room with a bag of cocaine, she said, and Coss and her friend took a picture of Stamos bending over a table where the drugs had been laid out.

Henderson said Stamos and Coss later kissed on a bed and got into a hot tub together after Stamos undressed and Coss stripped to her underwear. She said Stamos offered to perform oral sex on Coss, but she declined. Florida law makes it a second-degree felony for someone 24 or older to have oral sex with anyone 16 or 17 years old. It carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

Stamos eventually became frustrated, broke a bedpost with his hand and left the room before apologizing and inviting Coss to spend the night, which she did, Henderson said.

Entertainment Weekly’s EW.com can exclusively reveal that the Fox hit and the actor formerly known as Uncle Jesse are nearing a deal for him to recur next season as Will’s competition for the cutest neurotic at McKinley High.

During tonight’s finale, Emma mentions that she’s been dating her dentist, and that dentist is said to be Stamos.

If the agreement gets made, bet on a sing-off between her two suitors: Though Stamos is best known for his TV roles, he’s also got street cred on Broadway, having appeared in such musicals as Bye Bye Birdie.

That would be awesome!!

Looks like Dancing with the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff won’t be getting her wish to partner up with actor John Stamos after all.

Stamos, who finished his Broadway run in Bye Bye Birdie in November, tweeted Monday that he isn’t cut out to jitterbug and tango his way to the top on the popular ABC show.

“I’m not doing Dancing with the Stars. Flattered to be asked,” he wrote. “I’m not a dancer. I’d put my foot in my mouth faster than John Mayer.”

Last month, Smirnoff told People that 46-year-old Stamos had been approached about competing on DWTS and she was hoping he’d say yes.

“I have a wish to dance with John Stamos,” said Smirnoff, 32. “He could be a great dancer.”

The new season of DWTS begins March 22.

Even though Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff just returned from a trip to Turks and Caicos with St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Brad Penny, she is hot to trot with John Stamos for the new season of the show, which begins March 22.

“I have a wish to dance with John Stamos,” Smirnoff told People Thursday at the opening of Haimov Jewelers in Miami. “I wanted him to be my celebrity partner. He finished Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway and he has had enough time to rest.”

Smirnoff says Stamos has been approached about competing on Dancing with the Stars but told her he needs a respite after his stint on Broadway that ended in November. Still, she is holding out hope that he’ll make the right decision.

“I am a workaholic and think he needs to dance with me,” she tells People. “I love 12 to 14 hour days of dancing, and I want to do it with John. He could be a great dancer.”

Smirnoff, who competed last season with Aaron Carter, looked tanned and healthy after her vacation in the Caribbean, where she sunned and ran on the beach in a colorful array of tiny bikinis, she said.

“Brad is a really good friend,” Smirnoff tells People. “We had a blast on the beach. He is amazing and a totally different kind of person who grew up in Oklahoma. He is a real gentleman.”

John Stamos has enjoyed a successful career for more than 25 years, but there’s still one role he has yet to tackle: Dad. “The cards haven’t fallen that way for me. I didn’t want to have a child with the wrong person,” says John, who divorced Rebecca Romijn in 2005. “I’d like my kid to grow up the way I did, having a mother and a father — coming home from work and eating dinner together.” The timing might finally be right now that the ER hunk has found love again with model Leah Marsh. “I’ve been talking about it for a while,” the star of Lifetime’s The Two Mr. Kissels — a gritty new movie airing on November 15 at 9 p.m. ET — tells In Touch. “I’m ready to have kids.”

When do you want to become a father?

Soon, I think. I’m 45.

Do you want a lot of kids?

I don’t know, but it seems like once you have one, you want more.

Would you adopt?

Of course. If it doesn’t work out the other way, I would go to Project Cuddle, a charity I’m involved with that helps young women who are considering abandoning their babies.

What kind of father will you be?

A good dad. I have many connections at Disneyland [laughs]. But if I could be half the dad my late father was, that would be perfect.
