Jennifer Garner wins order against alleged stalker

Jennifer Garner has won a restraining order from a man she says has been stalking her for years. An attorney for Garner appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday morning and won three years of protection for Garner, husband Ben Affleck and their daughter, Violet.

As first reported by TMZ, Garner petitioned for protection earlier this month from 36-year-old Steven R. Burky, who she says has been harassing her since 2002.

Garner wrote in a sworn statement that she believed Burky's 'obsessive, threatening and stalking behavior' posed a threat to her and her family.

'Borat' star crashes NBC drama 'Medium'

Even a make-believe psychic couldn't spot the scam when an actor disrupted a scene for 'Medium' involving Patricia Arquette, who stars as psychic Allison DuBois in the NBC drama.

After the unruly extra was ejected by security, the truth became clear: He was chameleonic comic prankster Sacha Baron Cohen in his identity as outrageous fashion reporter Bruno.

It was unclear how Cohen gained entry to the set, and whether he was secretly filming his performance for his own use, according to Entertainment Weekly's Web site, which first reported the incident on http://www.EW.com. But prior to the Nov. 7 invasion in Los Angeles, Cohen had been shooting other 'crash' footage for his new film, a followup to his comedy hit 'Borat.'
