Erstwhile Friend Jennifer Aniston has reportedly obtained a restraining order against a man who was arrested for prowling around her home last week - with a sharp object and duct tape.

According to court documents obtained by gossip website TMZ, Jayson Peyton was busted at Aniston's Hollywood Hills
home last Thursday, after he'd been "laying-in-wait in a location he believes she frequents with a sharp object, a bag, a roll of duct tape and written messages about [her]."

The documents describe 24-year-old Peyton as "an obsessed, mentally ill and delusional stalker - with a history of violence and criminal stalking - who drove cross-country in his delusional 'mission' to locate and marry [Aniston], with whom he believes he is in a relationship."

According to Aniston's lawyer, Peyton, from Pennsylvania, spent eight days trying to find her and when he was taken into custody cops found the words 'I LOVE YOU JENNIFER ANISTON' carved into the paintwork of his car.

See exhibit A here.

Suffering sausages, could that be any creepier?

Peyton was arrested in Los Angeles after his father tipped off police. The alleged stalker had left a note for his father stating he was bound for California, claims TMZ.

Sniffing potential danger and that his son's celebrity crush had got out of hand, he called the police.

Peyton is now on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Which isn't surprising, given Peyton's violent past includes stabbing himself and allegedly hitting his mother with a golf club, TMZ reported.

He's also reportedly been institutionalised before, and was ordered to take anti-psychotic drugs but authorities say he stopped taking them in March.

Oh, and he also believes he's related to: Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Bill and Melinda Gates, President H.W.George Bush as well as George W. Bush and Donald Trump.

Under the terms of the restraining order, Peyton must stay at least 100 feet from her, her home and her employees.

Meanwhile, Jen is currently in London, promoting her new scent at London's Harrods store.

Our Jen's gone back to basics and resorted to using the ultimate weapon in marketing warfare for her new scent's promotional campaign: Mucho flesh-flashing and titillation.

We've known for a while that Aniston's been fiddling with her chemistry set and her lab boys to come up with a stink that matches her inimitable essence. Well the big reveal is upon us: Aniston's perfume, imaginatively titled Jennifer Aniston, will be unveiled at London's Harrods store today.

Her ladyship will be at the store herself to sign bottles of the stink.

So what does Jennifer Aniston smell like? "Sexy and clean...floral but not too flowery," according to the former Friends star.

"I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan. I want people to go 'what is that?' You smell great!' But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural."

Cop an eyeful of these promo shots of Aniston taken at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Ooh, la la, indeed!

Update: Aniston's publicist has since confirmed that Peyton was not arrested near her home, but "outside a location he thought she frequents, but it was a location she in fact has never been to."

Jailbird

Perpetual party girl and wild child Lindsay Lohan is in the slammer.

Lohan kissed au revoir to freedom and hauled her hiney to a California courthouse this morning. No tears, no drama, no razzle-dazzle. Just glitter!

As the slammer girl made her way to court a kind bystander threw a bag of glitter confetti over her, making for an entrance only fairy tales are made of. Mariah Carey would approve.



Whoever threw that, I love you!

Meanwhile, LiLo's official mug shot has been released.

See Lohan in her fetching orange jumpsuit here.

Cheer up, love. You'll be out in three weeks.

Now you behave yourself in there, LiLo. Be good. And if you can't be good, get a pram.

Starlet spat

There's a mammoth bitch-slapping session on the horizon between Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen and Disney brat Miley Cyrus.

Momsen drew the first punch, calling Cyrus' music nothing but "Disney bubblegum s**t."

I love her too.

Understandably, Cyrus is spitting tacks over Momsen's comments.

A snitch tells Britain's Heat magazine: "Miley is furious - who wouldn't be? She thought Taylor was pretty cool until this happened, which has left her totally confused.

"Taylor is so obviously desperate for fame. I mean, she's traipsing around town in her underwear, or is that for the love of the music too?"

Now settle down girls. Retract those claws and hug this one out.

The source continued: "Miley has always had a lot of talent, and Taylor knows it. Taylor still sees her as a threat, which she is, although they're hardly in the same league.

"Miley gets a little risky on stage, but she knows that it's a performance, whereas Taylor doesn't seem to know where to draw the line. It's sad, really."

Sad, and probably not true.

Loved up

Angelina Jolie's latest flick, spy-thriller Salt, premiered last night in Los Angeles, and she brought along her ultimate accessory - hot date Brad Pitt.

The red carpet was a veritable who's who of Jolie supporters - her daddy Jon Voight, her lip-locking bro James Haven.



Those two are so into each other. So much PDA. Get a room.

Mad Mel, part 6

Ladies and gentlemen, we're slowly shimmying beyond the land of single digits. Welcome to Mel Gibon's sixth toxic tape.

RadarOnline has published yet another tape recording believed to be of Gibson threatening to "pull the plug" on estranged girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva's career, while boasting that nobody will believe her claims.

In the shocking tape, Grigorieva also accuses the actor of hitting their baby daughter.

Cue a stream of profanities from Gibson. (Content warning: explicit, profane language).

"You have my child and she doesn't need a gold digging, f****** Russian c***, wh*** for a mother! We all know what you are! I will have that child, easily."

Grigorieva cries, "You hit me and you hit her [daughter Lucia], while she was in my hands," she says. "Mel, you're losing your mind. You need medication."

Gibson doesn't affirm her accusation, but replies with his now-familiar roster of potty mouth profanities, saying, "and I want my child, and no one will believe you! So f*** you, and I'm not giving you my house."

After hurling a few more insults, Gibson shouts "You there?" before the phone goes dead.

And as the scandalous saga continues apace, it transpires that Grigorieva's secretly-recorded tapes could be inadmissible in court - because they were recorded without Gibson's consent.

Under California law, if a person hasn't been told their conversation is being recorded, the recording cannot be admissible in court, reports TMZ .

So what were Grigorieva's motives? A genuine effort to out-rat a rat? Or, as has been widely claimed, a not-to-be-missed opportunity to line her purse with some greenbacks?

Meanwhile, a woman claiming to be Mel Gibson's former lover has broken her silence and alleges he was "abusive" towards her during their three-month fling.

Violet Kowal, 26, blabs to Fox News below:

That's all, folks. Catch you later in the week. Love to all, and oodles of Lohan's glitter!
