No no no, I didn't hike for "miles".

I was dropped off one mile from her by helicopter and hiked the rest.

How embarassing it must be to have such a low-rent stalker. Most stalkers own a car, don't they?

Maybe he was worried about his carbon footprint.

Well, at least she has an environmentally friendly stalker.

That's gotta count for something. Right?

As a professional stalker, I'm more than a little miffed at the press this guy is getting. First of all, no stalker worth his salt would hike to get to his obsession. He would find a hotel adjacent to the stalkee and get some super zoom binoculars. Also, he violated the cardinal rule of stalking. never try to meet the person at a public event. A real stalker knows you create a diorama using products found in the stalkees garbage, and then accidentally run in to her after you;'ve scaled her high coltage electric fence. Very sloppy work. It makes me ill to think that many fine stalkers are being ignored while this rank amatuer gets all the glory.

Didn't she have another stalker about 20 years ago?

That would make sense, since she hasn't aged a day in 20 years.

From some other stuff I read, seems this stalker is a career stalker. He's stalked other female celebrities for some time.
I realize they say they can't do anything until these people make a move, but this is ridiculous. To have to live like a prisoner in your home, wondering what they'll do next. I think a person already has a mental condition to go from someone who has posters and fantasizes about being with a celebrity to someone who goes out to literally find and "hunt" that celebrity. There has to be something more that the law can do. Too many nutjobs don't care about restraining orders.

I don't disagree with anything you say except to say that Milano is quite rich and if she honestly felt threatened nothing is preventing her from hiring a bodyguard. Trust me: If this loser had the unfortunate circumstance to run into a body guard, my guess is that his stalker days would be over. Milano should obtain a restraining order but she also needs personal protection. We might argue why should she pay to protect herself and my response is a simple one: Milano is a public figure and a celebrity who makes a ton of money off her notoriety. The day Milao sought to become a celebrity she gave up any privacy as the rest of humanity views it. If she wants privacy may I suggest she buy a private plane and a ranch in Montana or perhaps a gated villa in Malibu with private security, or she could simply retirement from public life. REgretfully, in the world today people can make money off their celebrity and in the next breath demand privacy.

Why bother her in person? All the photos he could ever want to see of her naked and otherwise are available on the Internets.
Get a laptop and a life, loser.

A stalker would scare the beejeebies out of me too.

It's scary as can be. I'm an average person and had a stalker for a year or so. Boyfriend of a girl I knew. Never had any sort of relationship with him EVER, not even a cup of coffee.

Really, it's unfortunate this happens - clearly seems to be on the rise. But, young adults who decide to pursue this type of career should weigh the facts. Is notoriety worth being exposed to the obsessive crazy minds out there? I think the era of "celebrity" has run it's course. Like an empire, it's slowly dissolving, and will be filed in the history books.

I agree with you. I hate to say it but do you know who said something that made more sense than I ever thought it possible for her to say...Angelina Jolie. The woman is worth a few hundred million dollars and doesn't have to work another day for the rest of her life with or without Brad Pitt. She is contemplating giving up her career so she might have a more normal family life. What a concept. Celebrities become wealthy because they are celebrities. When that celebrity status backfires and becomes inconvenient they can either retire from private life or they can use their sizable fortunes to take the necessary steps to protect themselves. What I don't want to hear is any of them whine. With a single telephone call, Milano could have an escort of one or two well trained mercenaries who without much provocation would happily beat this stalker to within an inch of his life should he come within 100 ft of their client. Even when Milano obtains a restraining order she should hire one or two bodyguards and she foolish if she doesn't.

A gorgeous woman like Alyssa shouldn't have much trouble getting a bunch of males to protect and defend her. I'm afraid that just as many would be trying to get into her pants too, though.
