Disney execs have alerted the LAPD that a middle-aged man arrested for stalking Miley Cyrus in Georgia last month has been released because of jail overcrowding — despite the man telling the cops that Cyrus sends him “secret messages” through her television show. The NY Daily News says

McLeod was arrested [in Georgie last month] near where Cyrus was filming her upcoming movie, “The Last Song.”

McLeod allegedly tried to head-butt one officer as he was being handcuffed. “I will [fucking] be with Miley!” he screamed as he tussled with police. “Nobody will ever be able to keep us apart.”

McLeod told [police that] Cyrus had accepted his marriage proposal and that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, had given him his blessing. He told cops he had “thousands of pictures [of] Miley on his computer,” and had mailed her diamond rings… [and] that Cyrus’ responses came in the form of ’secret messages’ on her television show directed only to him.”

Police believe McLeod is obviously delusional.

“Obviously delusional?” We die-hard Miley fans prefer the term “visionaries,” thank you very much. You’ll see for yourself when the new Hannah Montana World Order is set into motion and Disney finally lays claim to your souls! Mwah hah ha ha!

An interview the NY Daily News did with him back in March:

Here’s a fun fact: Florida’s major industries are tourism, citrus fruits, phosphate mining, and crazy people. Seriously. Find a story about someone doing something really stupid/weird, and chances are they’re from Florida. Is it the humidity? Does it mess up the electric impulses being fired in the brain? Case in point:TMZ reports,

A man claiming he was “meant to be” with Shawn Johnson was arrested early Tuesday morning after trying to sneak on to the set of “Dancing With the Stars” — and cops say he had two loaded guns and duct tape in his car.

Johnson’s mother, Teri, has just filed a petition for a restraining order against the man, 34-year-old Robert O’Ryan. The restraining order seeks protection for 17-year-old Shawn, her mother, her father and her “Dancing” partner Mark Ballas.

According to documents filed by Johnson, “The LAPD searched [O'Ryan's] vehicle and located a loaded .45 handgun, a loaded shotgun, and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties, a map to the victim. Also found were love letters, clippings and other information on the victim.”

According to the documents, O’Ryan told police “He had packed all his belongings and permanently left Florida to drive out here to be with [Shawn Johnson], he believes that she speaks to him personally through the television set and through ESP and that they will have a child together, he stated he would be with her no matter what.”

According to the CBS incident report, the whole thing started Monday afternoon when a CBS employee noticed O’Ryan jumping a fence and entering a hallway in the East Studio. Private security confronted him and asked for ID — and that’s when O’Ryan produced an expired concealed weapons license. When guards asked if he had a weapon on him, O’Ryan admitted to having 2 guns in his car. At that point, the guards alerted the LAPD.

It’s just a big misunderstanding, really. He thought she was talking through the TV set through ESP, but she really was just on ESPN. Ba-doom, BAH!

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt was granted a permanent restraining order yesterday against a 62-year-old man accused of stalking her over the last year. Star Magazine says

Papers filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court show Love asked for protection against David Nolte, a Studio City, Calif. man whom she alleges has sent her “over 120 threatening and disturbing letters” in addition to following her.

Unfortunately, the court’s offer to provide for additional restraining orders against stalkers “Ronald McDonald,” “Captain D” and “Colonel Sanders” were vehemently rejected by Love-Hewitt’s camp.

Doing what she does best — eating and not walking:

Paula Abdul went on Barbara Walters’ Sirius XM radio show “Barbara Live!” Monday night to let the world know that she blames “American Idol” producers for permitting stalker Paula Goodspeed to continue to audition even after they learned of her delusional obsession with Paula. According to the L.A. Times

On the day of Goodspeed’s audition, “Idol” producers told Abdul they had found — and were about to bring in — a fan who was “crazy about” Paula. Abdul objected. “I said, ‘This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.’ I was shaking.” The producers ignored her, saying that they wanted the “entertainment value.”

[After following her home after an audition], Goodspeed [began sending] naked pictures of herself to Abdul and threatened her with “bodily harm” in some letters. [Paula said], “She said the only way I will serve her purpose is when I’m up in heaven being her guardian angel.”

So why is Paula still on “American Idol”?

[She said], “Well, I’m under contract.”

You know, there’s biting the hand that feeds you, and there’s shitting in the hand that feeds you and then shoving that hand in its face and rubbing it all around while you fire off a couple of shotgun blasts in your own foot. But no matter! What really concerns me here is that Paula looks like some kind of bizarre amalgamation of Michigan J. Frog and Six from Blossom. “Hello, my baby! Hello, my darlin’! Hello, my ragtime gaaaaal!”

Proving that there are still a ton of sickos out there, Kirsten Dunst has filed a restraining order against a man accused of stalking her. Dunst says in the declaration

“Christopher Smith has repeatedly shown up uninvited at my place of residence in Los Angeles, going to so far as to ignore police warnings, bypass my personal security measures, trespass on my property, and attempt to gain entry into my home.

Mr. Smith’s sudden, aggressive, and harassing efforts to contact me are extremely frightening. I fear not only for my own personal safety, but also for the safety and well being of my housemate and assistant.”

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s not jump to conclusions here. Maybe the guy was hard up for a little Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog. It’s not like there’s a real live witch hanging out on every street corner in L.A., you know. Kirsten Dunst is about as close as you’ll get. And even if you did come across a real live witch, you have to have Elune’s Candle or the Torch of Holy Flame in your arsenal, which you won’t have unless you’ve already beaten the dungeons of Blackfathom Depths, unless of course you’re already aLevel 20 Elven Sorcerer, in which case you would probably use the Luminescent Rod of the Naaru to kill her and then go back to jerking off in your mother’s basement. See? It’s not as simple as it sounds.

And now, the must-have gift for the person that you hate at the office Christmas party — the official Kirsten Dunst desk calendar!

Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order protecting herself from Steven Burky, a man who has been stalking her for the last six years as the “reincarnation of the prophet Enoch.” You know, Noah’s great-great grandfather in the Bible. According to TMZ

In her declaration, Garner says “Mr. Burky has been stalking and harassing me,” sending “packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country… since 2002, but in the last year his obsessive and harassing behavior has escalated to the point of becoming dangerous and threatening.”

Burky has shown up at her home and said, “God has sent him a vision of [Garner] being persecuted in some manner that may result in her death.”

Garner says she fears for herself, husband Ben Affleck and daughter Violet. She also says “I am currently pregnant and fear for the safety of my second child once born.”

We’ve learned the LAPD has taken the threat seriously and has [placed] Burky is currently under a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Well, of course they did. He’s “Enoch.” Pfft. No wonder Jennifer wouldn’t give him a second glance. Look, if you want your one true love to take your delusional rants seriously, you need to go with someone a little more prominent. Say, “Jesus” or “Santa Claus.” And then show up at her door wearing her dead dog like a hat and a pair of her high heel shoes you stole off the set of Alias six years ago. It’s all about presentation, people. You only have one chance to make a first impression. Remember that the next time you’re chasing a stranger across the country to warn her about your death visions and Biblical incarnations. Otherwise you’ll never make it to second base.

Talk-show host Tyra Banks claims to have been terrorized the last few months by a gentleman sending letters and flowers and showing up at some of her studios unannounced. Cops arrested the stalker last week, but seeing as how his only crime is loving Tyra too much, they released him the following day. The New York Post reports

Brady Green, 37… arrived in the lobby [of "The Tyra Banks Show"] at 4:23 p.m. on Tuesday carrying a large duffel bag stuffed with magazine write-ups about Banks. Cops were called to the scene, where Banks said she feared for her safety.

But at 7:22 p.m., Green was back across the street… at a McDonald’s. Cops arrested him and charged him with stalking, harassment and criminal trespass. The next morning, Green appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Judge Anthony Ferrara released him, but issued an order of protection for Banks.

Some people just confuse “pursuing true love” with “stalking.” Just like some people are “repulsed” by your collage of personal effects unearthed from their garbage and “terrified” of the shrine of photos of them shot with a long-range lens from rented room across the street. These are the same people that suggest “you take your Klonopin” and “pull up your pants” before “they call the cops” “again.”

The many faces of beautiful:

Britney Spears has acquired her very own deranged stalker! What started out as the occasional bizarre letter has escalated to bi-weekly package deliveries in the last six weeks. According to OK! Magazine

“The first thing you see when you open the box is a huge, lavender, battery-operated sex toy…. and two [threatening and pornographic] letters. The handwritten one is on note paper and it’s written in all-caps chicken scratch,” says the source. The [other] typed letter contains vivid, pornographic details of the writer’s fantasy exploits with Britney.

The scariest item inside the package is what [appears] to be a picture of the sender — a middle-aged caucasian male with stringy, greasy hair — with the eyes cut out of the photo, in which he [is] squirting some sort of yellowish liquid into his open mouth. “It’s like something from a bad movie,” says the source. “If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t believe it.”

The guy sounds less like a deranged stalker and more like a dream response to a Britney-themed personal ad. Penchant for processed foods with nozzle dispensers? Check. Aversion to bathing? Check. Arsenal of sex-toys in pastel colors? Check, check, check. The only way this guy could be any more perfect is if he came with a Hickory Farms Beef & Cheese basket and dreams of rap stardom.
