Audrina Patridge's Stalker -- Prison Bound

Audrina Patridge's stalker was just sentenced to two years in prison -- but dude could be released within the next couple of months due to time already served ... TMZ has learned.

Zachary Loring -- who was arrested outside of Audrina's home earlier this year -- pled no contest to felony stalking in June ... but was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to see if he should be sent to prison or a mental institution.

The judge ended up sentencing Loring to two years in prison today -- but the guy was given credit for 546 days already served in custody (including credit for good behavior).

That means Loring could be free by the beginning of next year -- but he was ordered by the judge to stay 500 yards away from Audrina for the next 10 years.

Kim Kardashian Gets Pampered, Talks Stalker

Making time for some pampering, Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving a local nail salon in Los Angeles, California on Monday (August 2).

Dressed in a cute and casual get-up, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” gal paid little attention to the media and was careful not to smudge her freshly painted nails as she made her way to her vehicle.

On a serious note, Ms Kardashian is taking extra measures to ensure she and footballer beau, Miles Austin, are safe from a man that has been stalking the reality TV star.

Dennis Shaun Bowman, who already has a restraining order on him from Kim, has been over-stepping his boundaries by sending Twitter messages to Miles and Kim’s sister, Khloe.

The beautiful brunette’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told TMZ, “I will be speaking with law enforcement detectives [to] determine whether or not Mr. Bowman’s actions are a violation of the order in place restricting Mr. Bowman’s conduct toward Ms. Kardashian.”

Zachary Loring -- who faces a felony stalking charge and three misdemeanors -- unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade directed at the judge during today's arraignment in an L.A. courtroom, repeatedly telling his own attorney "I'm guilty ... I stalked her."

Loring -- who has gone off on the judge before -- was removed from the court room and ordered to see two doctors who will evaluate his mental competency.

Loring is due back in court in April. He's still being held on $150,000 bail.
