ESPN reporter Erin Andrews has filed a $10 million invasion of privacy lawsuit against Marriott and Michael Barrett, the man who videotaped her through the peephole of her hotel room back in 2008.

Andrews is suing for damages ... $6 million against Marriott and $4 million against Barrett.

The lawsuit, filed in Nashville, says the following:

"The unknowing and unwelcome filming of (Andrews) while she was changing and the further dissemination of unauthorized, private videos of (Andrews) in the hotel rooms has caused and continues to cause her great emotional distress and embarrassment."

In the suit, it also claims Barrett was told by Marriott staff as to the whereabouts of Andrews' hotel room. He was then able to book the room right next door.

Barrett reportedly videotaped Andrews through peepholes at numerous hotels in various states.

Erin Andrews isn't just content with a guilty plea from the man who secretly shot her in the nude at several hotels, now she's suing the hotels for $1.2 million for allegedly giving the stalker her room number in the first place!

Andrews filed suit yesterday against 10 different hotel corporations (as well as Michael David Barrett, who was sentenced to 2 1/2 years for interstate stalking) for "severe and permanent emotional distress," reports the AP.

After filing the suit, Erin went out to celebrate! She hit up Katsuya with her BFF, fellow DWTS finalist Evan Lysacek.

But where was Maks?

Erin Andrews was snapped taking a break from broadcasting duties at the 2010 All Star Game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, and the sexy sportscaster cooled down with a frosty cold beverage, but alas, it was just water. Now that Erin is done with DWTS and back at ESPN, we have to wonder what she's going to do next!

Erin Andrews, who was the underdog coming into last night's final performance show, jumped to the top of the leader board after a sexy samba that earned her and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy a near perfect score and a freestyle that the judges called "risky."

The ESPN correspondent, dressed in a belly-baring costume that Elisabeth Hasselbeck would NOT approve of, tied with the clear front-runner last night, Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, both scoring a 55 out of 60.

For the first time all season, Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek found himself at the bottom of the score board, with a 52 out of 60 after perturbing the judges with a Footloose inspired prom dance.

But judges' scores count for just half of the final score. Can Lysacek continue the trend of Olympic gold medalists taking home the mirrorball trophy? Will Nicole be the first professional dancer to win the title? Or can Andrews come from behind to score an upset?

Maksim, Erin and the rest of the Dancing With the Stars cast need to stop going out and celebrating every night and instead go home and NAP. All that dancing is exhausting and it shows!

Sidebar, who do you think will win this time around? I hope not Erin Andrews - something about her gets on my nerves!

...she appeared in Darrin Henson's Darrin Dance Grooves training vid back in her early 20s! Hot stuff. Maybe Maksim could learn a thing or two from watching his partner rock out with another mentor!

Check out Erin strut her stuff in the vid above. Huuuuuge!

Work hard, play hard! Erin Andrews, Julianne Hough and Cheryl Burke all arrived at Philippe Chow in WeHo last night with the rest of the Dancing With the Stars cast to celebrate Cheryl's 26th b-day. Congrats! Didn't realize she was so young.

Sidebar, will Niecy be going home tonight? Loves her, but I think it's her time to leave!

Maksim is a wanted man!

A Dancing With the Stars insider reveals to Us that Kate Gosselin "wishes she had been partnered with Maks because he's a stronger personality [than Tony Dovolani], and Kate likes a man who takes charge."

But Chmerkovskiy is much happier with his gorgeous ESPN hottie Erin Andrews. He recently wrote on his TV Guide blog: "I've spoken to Kate, and I don't think she gets the point of this thing yet. The pain on her face says it all, which is unfortunate. The show is about finding a way to come out, enjoy yourself and have fun."

Poor Kate! Does she have any friends on the show? Not Erin, that's for sure - the reporter dishes to Sports Illustrated about "adoring" Niecy Nash, being "obsessed" with Pam Anderson and calling Evan Lysacek her "best friend." No mention of Kate though!

And so what's the word on Erin and Maksim's alleged romance? "We didn't know we had one!" she says.
