Actress KIRSTEN DUNST has been granted a restraining order against an intruder who was found on her estate last month (19Nov08).

Dunst wasn't at home when the trespasser, Christopher Smith, was apprehended and escorted off the property.

The star maintains Smith has trespassed on her land before.

In court documents Dunst states, "Mr. Smith has repeatedly shown up uninvited at my place of residence in Los Angeles, going so far as to ignore police warnings, bypass my personal security measures, trespass on my property, and attempt to gain entry into my home.

"Mr. Smith is apparently mentally ill, and, although he has never met me, believes that he has some sort of spiritual connection with me."

She adds, "Mr. Smith's sudden, aggressive and harassing efforts to contact me are extremely frightening. I fear not only for my own personal safety, but also for the safety and well being of my housemate and assistant."

Los Angeles police have confirmed they did apprehend an intruder at Dunst's home.
In his statement to police, Smith revealed he's in love with the star, adding, "I connected with Kirsten spiritually, I felt like I connected with her and she connected with me. Now I don't know if she did, I guess you have to ask her if she connected."

In court papers, Dunst claims Smith was found on her property after her assistant informed him that the actress was not home via the intercom at the front gate.
He later knocked on her front door and attempted to gain access to the actress' home.
Dunst claimed the intrusion was the fourth in two days.

Also according to ET:

Dunst gave an account of one incident on Nov. 19 at around 7:00 p.m., when she said Smith used the intercom at her property's front gate and spoke with her housemate and assistant, who informed him that the actress was not home. About 20 minutes later, Dunst said Smith either squeezed through or climbed over the front gate and trespassed on her property, knocked on her door and attempted to gain access to the home.

Dunst said her assistant was forced to slam the door on him and then contacted her security personnel and the police department.

According to an arrest report, police said Dunst's assistant told them Smith's unwelcome visit on Nov. 19 was the fourth in two days. When the assistant confronted Smith and asked how he had gotten past the front gate, he responded with a smirk: "By sliding through the gate."

The actress wrote she is "quite frightened" of Smith, whom she has never met.

Records do not indicate whether Smith has an attorney. He is due in court later this month on a trespassing charge. Dunst's restraining order could be made extended on Dec. 22.

As to the stalker guy, I am very, very sorry that talented celebrated people must worry about stray people confronting  them.  One can not take any such unknown person as  innocuous. 

I hope that Kirsten knows that almost all her fans are people who like her in a good way, not in a crazy made up loop of  supposed one way "love" gone wrong. 

Kirsten is smart, and I'm sure she has first rate protection.  The other part is moving forward and getting something done, being productive, and being happy---- and not identifying all strangers as likely losers.  Optimism was given to us as a gift.

Today I was walking and pulled out my cell, and knocked out $5 from my pocket as I got it.  An older man following me picked it up and returned it to me.  There are great people in the world, many more than the evil and the crazy.  Just sometimes we need to be reminded of it.  Even in small, little ways. 

And traveller, after my first girl disaster, I learned that a simple no was all I needed to evacuate from the situation. There is no future for a two way love, when one way is blocked by a "no" be it stated or acted out. I think way most guys know the same.  Females, being more practical, understand it even better.   And I suspect it is quite hard to be in love with someone you have not met.  And love is not sorrow.

I hope KD has the best Christmas she has ever known.

All waht i can said is: Holly crap, what a hell.



Your are rigth. I wish the best Christmas she has ever known too.




P.S
What a crazy guy.

"A far better one than many of us"?  Well, she has had an over publicized trip to Cirque Lodge, and a scary stranger entering her space within the last year.  So, maybe a bit of a tougher year than many of us.   Maybe she deserves a very nice, upbeat Christmas?  And surely from O'Henry and others (the  Christmas shoe song, the Wishing song  from Love Affair), we have learned that Christmas is what you put into it--what you make of it.  We each control that--and it's not determined by millions of dollars or celebrity.  Nor should it be diminished by having same. 
 

And traveller (more likely to fly than I),  I wish you a very nice Christmas wherever you travel.

I wish Kirsten the best, but I know that she has for sure good people around her - security, friends...-  who protects her against beeing stalked.
This stalker was as I know not the first one who stalked her and I am quite sure it will be not the last one.
This is just the life of a Hollywood celeb - no matter if female or male.

The bead is that just because of episodes like this celebs must be protected so much by their security, sometimes they even cant go to premieres or some events.....
Kiki tries to live a "normal" life, but this is just not possible, just because of stalkers and paparazzis.
From this all stars can get very lonely, beeing protected but alone.
If Kirsten was in Cirque Lodge for depression this is also fault of agressive fans and stalkers

Ooh man, you are so rigth. It isn?t a easy live.

She should remember that a restraining order is nothing more than a piece of paper.

She's not that physical. Sher should at least keep a stun gun - its less-lethal weaponry.

[Krystaaaa!]

  Seriously, this is a very big concern.
Not just with celebrities, musicians, artists, politicians, but everyday people.
There is a case of which people are stalked in the the United States almost every year.
If you dig deep into the news you can find stories about normal everyday people being stalked by someone.
Mostly Woman or children being stalked by sexual predators.
Obviously it happens more often to a well known person who's face is in the spotlight 24/7.
I personally think that STALKING should be taken more seriously.
Like Roswell Crash Survivor has said that a restraining order is nothing much but a simple piece of paper.
What happens if this Mr. Smith comes back but this time has a weapon?
What is Kirsten to do?? Grab the piece of paper && hold it up to his face?
She has to sit && wait for the police.
Anddd honestly, i've been living in L.A. for over a month now && traffic no matter what time it is, no matter where you are off too, it's HECTIC!
So my only point is that i think that in the act of a stalking, it should be taken more seriously.

I am not by any means 'famous' but i am in a pretty well known band.
i have people writing me messages on myspace almost everyday. Some of them are very nice && just want to say 'thanks for helping me get through a day with your music' andddd some are asking me to come to them or the next time they see me live at a show while on tour, they are going to take me into an alley and 'rape me'. So YEAH...hah. Scary. See, you don't have to be a celebrity to be stalked. You could just be an average chick in a band like me && have people either look up to you..OR like in Kirsten's case ...people who lie to others, say that they personally know you, anddd the next minute they are trying to get inside your home anddd only god knows what.
