MARQUETTE, Mich. -- A Michigan couple was convicted Thursday of trying to extort $680,000 from actor John Stamos by threatening to sell old photos of him, allegedly with strippers and cocaine, to the tabloids unless he paid up. Allison Coss, 24, and Scott Sippola, 31, were found guilty of conspiracy and using e-mail to threaten a person's reputation -- charges that could land them in prison for up to five years.
