    OK- I know I watch alot of television and I LOVE E!, especially their biographies and special shows. Well, I had read months ago that Uma Thurman had a stalker and had pressed charges, then I saw a disturbing program about celebrity stalkers- what is it that attracts these weird psychos to the limelight anyway? I just can't believe that some can hire a PI to gain access to a celebrity's address- that is way too freaky for me. I am a huge fan of Uma Thurman- have been for years, but when I read on another board about AMISH-turned celebrity chef, Sicily Yoder, getting stalked, well I just hit the roof- she writes AMISH books and cookbooks- I just don't think these pyschos have anything better to do. I just got back in town from Monaco and am reading the boards to see what happened in court- does anyone know how it all went- did that pyscho get prison time for stalking UMA? I've also heard that Demi Moore had a stalker too.

    Having worked security at two clubs and been employed as a bodyguard I can inform you that there is absolutely no criteria considering stalkers - and no fame requirements for being stalked. There are no certain guidelines. It can happen to anyone. And nearly any "type" of person can be a stalker. One time I found a rose and a note left for a dancer. In my car! Apparently he was under the impression that it was her vehicle. He broke into my car! Ooooh, spooky. Spookier is the fact that he revealed himself to her weeks later by asking her about his charming gift! Being barred from the club wasn't enough... it was a restraining order that finally convinced him that she was not the woman for him. The guy was wealthy, handsome, in shape, young and was a lawyer... the dancer was far from the most popular girl, attractive but what a whiner - and always broke.

    Sorry, can't help you on the specific info you want (should be easy to google, I'd think). I really don't follow celebrity dish stories too closely - it just might be step one in becoming a stalker...

    Well the other user brought up a lot of great points so I'll share mine. First you answered it right in the first sentences the "limelight" obviously is a big part of celebrity stalking, this leads to obsession, and of course a lot of them are mentally ill and should be locked away. The guy who stalked Jeri Ryan was a violent and ugly guy who wouldn't take no for an answer, the guy who stalked Jodie Foster believed they had a "relationship". the guy who shot Rebecca Schaeffer also wanted a relationship and was mad that because that she doing more adult roles would turn into a slut. These guys and girls who stalk are just in their own little world. I believe the Uma Thurman stalker, Jack Jordan, got a measley three year probation after two years of stalking her!! Oh yeah a mental patient as well no surprise there. He got off very light.

    There does nee dot be together laws dealing with stalkers. Celebrities travel so much that they have to watch their backs when they wouldn't have to worry if the pyschos were locaked up. Sicily Yoder and Uma Thurman are such nice celebrities- its too bad they can't go anywhere without a group of bodyguards.

Seems like I've had too many margaritas tonught- I can't spell, and I am a newby, so I can't figure out how to edit posts yet.

    I love Margaritas too. I believe you can delete your own posts. I also believe that stalking laws vary according to state. California for example is supposed one of the better states for that and actually you can bring up charges against people who stalked you even if you are not there while they are stalking you. This was done in the Steven Spielberg case where the stalker was put away even though Spielberg wasn't there to meet this psycho.
