A Canadian actress charged with stalking Alec Baldwin has been ordered to "stay away" from the star.
Genevieve Sabourin, 40, appeared in a New York court on Monday accused of stalking and aggravated harassment of the 30 Rock actor after he reported her to police. According to prosecutors, Alec had dinner with the accused in 2010 as a "favor to a friend," but later had to change his phone number because she was bombarding him with text messages and emails.
It is claimed that Sabourin - who first met Alec on the set of The Adventures of Pluto Nash in 2000 - had to be removed from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts where Alec was hosting a screening of Last Tango In Paris on April 5, and that she also turned up unannounced at his home on New York's Long Island on March 31, and his address in New York City. According to the complaint, the volume and intensity of the emails increased over the last week, with Sabourin allegedly writing, "I NEED TO START MY NEW LIFE, WITH MY NEW NAME, WITH MY NEW CARRIER IN MY NEW COUNTRY HELP MY NEWLY HUSBAND, YOU!"

Jason Trawick to Be Britney’s Co-Conservator
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
One would think that getting married would exemplify one's independence, right? Not in the case of Britney Spears, apparently.
Rumors circulated last month that the soon-to-be bride of Jason Trawick was seeking to end her father's conservatorship over her legal affairs; however, it looks like that won't be happening anytime soon, despite her impending marriage. Instead, her father is asking a court to add her future husband as a co-conservator.
While Jamie Spears will still handle the pop star's finances, a source says that Jason will only have shared legal control of her well being -- this includes making decisions over a person's food, clothing, and medical care. Another source, however, says that the conservatorship is simply a formality.
Jamie has had legal control of his daughter's fortune since her psychological breakdown in 2008.
