Shove over, Granny!

Britney Spears: Not quite a girl, not quite a stalkee? The man taken into custody and released by police for trespassing near Spears' Los Angeles home the other day was not deemed sufficiently dangerous to charge with a crime, it seems. "No one pressed charges. There's no crime," an LAPD officer told the press. As for Britney, she told Extra that the whole thing "makes you appreciate your security and the people protecting you." That's one way to look at it, I suppose.

But apparently not the way Steven Spielberg looks at it. The director has been granted a restraining order against an overzealous Canadian admirer of his, one Christopher Richard Hahn, after Hahn allegedly wormed his way onto the Dreamworks lot in one of 20 attempts to "make in-person contact" with Spielberg. "The knowledge of his repeated attempts is distressing and I am concerned for my safety and security and for the safety and security of those around me," Spielberg told the court. A sympathetic Los Angeles judge has ordered Hahn to keep at least 150 yards away from Spielberg for the next three years. "I never intended any harm or threatened anyone. I am not a violent person," Hahn said. "My only objective was to make contacts in the movie industry." Next time, maybe he should try Britney.
