Jennifer Aniston

has been granted a restraining order against a "delusional stalker" who believed he was about to marry the star.

A judge at Los Angeles Superior Court today ruled that 24-year-old

Jason Peyton

, the bloke who travelled cross-country to ask Jen to marry him, must stay away from her for the next three years.

Police arrested the alleged stalker and placed him under psychiatric hold when they discovered him "laying in wait" outside her Hollywood Hills home on July 15.

Legal documents filed by Aniston's legal muscle describe Peyton as an "obsessed, mentally ill and delusional stalker" who has a history of violence and drove to California "with a sharp object, a bag, a roll of duct tape and written messages," believing he's in a relationship with her.

He also had "I LOVE YOU JENNIFER ANISTON" carved into the side of his car, according to court docs.

Peyton, who has been institutionalised before, believes he is related to Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Aniston's gal pal Courteney Cox, Bill and Melinda Gates, both President Bushes and Donald Trump.

The restraining order bars Peyton from coming within 100 yards of Aniston's home or business as well as those of her managers, agents and various employees.

Jennifer Aniston takes her top off for new role - reports

12 May 10:31 PM

Earth to Peyton: Dude, get the hint...She's just not that into you.

Meanwhile, Jen's been a busy wee bee treading the promotional treadmill for her new film,

The Switch

.

Her latest celluloid effort follows the trials of woman (Aniston) who is feeling the need to breed and uses artificial insemination to get up the duff.

And here's the face-palming twist...her BFF accidentally spills the donor sperm down the sink and switches it with his own sample. She falls pregnant; they fall in love, yada, yada, yada. You get the picture.

Watch the trailer below:

Speaking about her role in

, Jen said women shouldn't have to bother with men to start a family.

She said: "Women are realising it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child.

"Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."

And, inevitably, up pops the question about babies and motherhood, and whether Jen would ever consider going down the artificial insemination route for a bambino.

"I want it [the baby] to match my Jimmy Choos and my couch," she joked to

Entertainment Tonight

.

Probed on whether she thinks motherhood is on the cards for her, she tellingly reveals: "I don't think for me personally that is something that I want, but again I say you don't rule anything out because I don't know what's going to happen anymore. I could walk out of this hotel and meet the man of my dreams or get hit by a bus. Anything is possible."

Asked by

Access Hollywood

's Billy Bush if she was feeling any pressure to have a baby, she said: "I'm not freaking out about that. I'm not."

Well that pretty much confirms it: She's not even remotely broody. She knows it, and Brad obviously did, too. Which is why he bolted and jointed Jolie to create the rainbow family.

Chin up, Jen. One day he'll come along...

The Lego-haired warbler was walloped on the head with a water bottle during a recent concert.

Some fangirl, probably foaming at the mouth and a slave to her Vesuvius-like emotions, threw the missile and it landed squarely on his precious head.

Poor Biebs. Rest assured his helmet-hair buffered the blow.

"Hopefully they'll see I'm still a good model with a story to tell and it'll be different to the weekly celebrity magazines."

You mean you'll have your wotsits covered up for a change?

Asked if she had a typical fan, she added: "No, I cater for all ages, male and female. With my books it's from young girls to old ladies. Some girls say I'm their role model, which is really flattering.

"I don't know, they just say they want to be like me. They also say I'm really tiny. I get that a lot. People can't believe how small I am when they meet me."

Stewart and

Penny Lancaster

have spoken openly about their desire to have another bambino, so news that she's expecting baby No 2 is no surprise.

A statement on the couple's behalf says:

"Penny and Rod were lucky enough to be celebrating more than just their third wedding anniversary in June, as they news came that Penny was pregnant with their second child.

"We were thrilled and delighted to be able to tell Alastair that he was going to the big brother to a little baby, expected just before mummy's 40th birthday."

The new addition is expected to drop weeks after daddy's 66th birthday. Speaking of which, Stewart said:

"I'm a pretty good 65 and have every intention of being a really strong 85 too. As a parent of a new child, I'll maybe only be around for 25 years at most. But it will be a happy, loving 25 years."

Speaking of babies...

a weekend spent stage-jumping and crowd surfing decked out in a torn fishnet 'outfit' is no biggie.

The sartorial experiment took to the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicaco this weekend and went all rock 'n' roll with her Semi Precious Weapons mates.

Gaga joined Semi Precious Weapons at the BMI stage - where she performed in 2007 - made out with front man Justin Tranter, and had fun with her 'little monsters'.

As Tranter put it: "She came to watch us perform. She stood on the side of the stage, and then during the song Magnetic Baby, she started playing drums with Dan," Tranter told

MTV

. "Then she started singing backup vocals, then her and I made out."

"If anyone calls Lady Gaga a pop star I'll f***king kill them," Tranter told the crowd. "She is a rock star, and she is helping, Semi Precious Weapons, bring rock'n'roll back. Rock'n'roll is back b**ches!"

You can watch the spectacle below. Be warned, it contains swearing and is probably, ever so slightly, NSFW.

Timberlake loves BO

Yes, while we mere mortals recoil in horror at the mere whiff of that unmistakable oniony stink, Timberlake gets the warm fuzzies.

He told

Magazine: "Some people say BO (body odour) can be an aphrodisiac and I agree.

"It depends on the body the odour is coming from. It's a long-term intimate thing....You don't want it to be the first thing you smell when she comes into the room. It's about layers - layers meant to be discovered."

So there you go, ladies. If you wanna bag him, stink.
