Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order against a stalker.

The pregnant actress, 36, feels Steven Burky is threatening her family, according to court papers TMZ.com obtained.

“Mr. Burky has been stalking and harassing me,” sending “packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country,” the papers say.

Garner claims Burky - who is currently being held in a mental hospital per a court order - has been harassing her since 2002, but within the past year “his obsessive and harassing behavior has escalated to the point of becoming dangerous and threatening.”

Burky once visited Garner’s home and said, “God has sent him a vision of her being persecuted in some manner that may result in her death.”

“I am currently pregnant and fear for the safety of my second child once born,” Garner writes in the court order. She is also mother to two-year-old Violet with husband Ben Affleck.

A judge issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month against Burky, who writes a blog called Satanic Panic that covers topics like human sacrifices.

A hearing will be held Thursday to make the restraining order permanent. The LAPD is also investigating the case, according to TMZ.com.

Hollywood star Winona Ryder was rushed to a London hospital today after falling ill on a plane.

The Oscar-nominated actress, 37, was flying from Los Angeles to Heathrow when she suddenly felt sick.

The British Airways flight she was travelling on was given special priority to land quickly and she was treated by medics as the airport before being taken away in an ambulance.

The Beetlejuice star was admitted to Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge, west London, before being discharged an hour later.

The actress’ publicist Mara Buxbaum said: ‘She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to a hospital.

‘She has already been released from hospital. She was there for an hour. She’s in good health. There’s no drama.’

A spokesman for British Airways said: ‘The captain of BA282, which was travelling from LA to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention.

‘The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time.’

The spokesman added BA staff had cared for the actress as much as their skills allowed during the flight and one of the passenger service staff accompanied her to hospital.

Ryder will next be seen on screen playing Mr Spock’s human mother Amanda Grayson in the eagerly anticipated Star Trek movie next year.

He’s a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon.

At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Hugh Jackman looms large in the epic Australia, which he says kept him “dirty 95 percent of the time” and left people stammering, “Oh … my … God,” according to costar Nicole Kidman, who adds, “Women’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”

Jackman’s wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form “the Body of Doom – but I like what’s inside”: a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3. A hard body with a soft center – 2008’s Sexiest Man Alive sat down with PEOPLE’s Elizabeth Leonard and Julie Jordan to reveal most of his secrets.

You turned 40 Oct. 12 and now you’re the Sexiest Man Alive. What was your wife’s response?
God bless her, she said, “I could’ve told them that years ago!” And then she said, “Obviously, Brad wasn’t available this year.” And I said, “That was a joke, right?”

Your marriage is a success story.
In my early 20s, I didn’t have a regular girlfriend. I was single and really happy about it. And then when I was 26, I met Deb on [the Australian TV show] Correlli. She was my leading lady. It was just undeniable. I started planning to propose to her at about three months. We are happy. Deb and my kids have been the best things that have ever happened to me, without a doubt.

What do you wear to bed?
I didn’t wear anything until my daughter was born and we had a night nanny because I was working. I walked out stark naked, and she was reading a book. Now I like boxer briefs.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden called it quits Tuesday after nine months of dating, a rep for Hilton confirms exclusively to Usmagazine.com.

“Even though they are still in love, they felt it would be better to just be friends,” a source close to Hilton, 27, tells Us.

The reason for the split?

“Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn’t get along with any of her friends,” the source tells Us. “Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again.”

The couple stayed faithful to each other, stresses the source. Hilton was spotted with her ex, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, in Miami over the weekend, while Madden, 29, hung in NYC with his bro, Joel (beau of Hilton’s best friend, Nicole Richie).

“Nothing went on between Paris and Stav in Miami,” the source tells Us. “She was there for a girls weekend with her BFFs.

“Benji really respected her,” the source adds. “They will be friends forever.”

Hilton and Madden first made their relationship public on February 21, smooching at Hollywood hot spot Villa.

They grew serious quickly. Both were spotted wearing rings with each other’s initials, and Madden called Hilton “wife material.”

In April, Hilton gushed on her MySpace blog: “I’ve never felt so happy and in love, [Benji] is such an amazing guy and life has never been better!”

Finally, something you probably all agree on from People Magazine. Hugh Jackman is the Sexiest Man Alive. This is also known as having the best publicist and a film coming out award.
And a bonus photo from the issue as well.
Meanwhile, Aaron Eckhart will have to wait another year, but hey, at least he got invited to GQ’s Man of the year banquet.
Bullet For My Valentine - Tilburg, Netherlands
David Cook - New York
One of my favorite photos of the day. Danny Masterson and Drake Bell.
Elisha Cuthbert hasn’t been seen here for awhile.
Nor has Eliza Dushku, but they just have not been going out as much.
Ethan Embry and his mom. I will let you guess which is his mom.
Emile Hirsch finally got a hair cut.
You should be grateful that I didn’t show the photo every other site is showing of Eva Longoria, although they do indicate she is a big fan of Spanx.
Felicity Huffman is one of my favorites and she looks great.
George Clooney a former sexiest man alive on the set of his new film.
Wherever Mario Lopez shows up, Hayden Panettiere always seems to be as well.
Steve Guttenberg wearing much more clothes than the last time he was on the site. Here is with Henry Winkler.Jerry Ferrara makes his first solo appearance in the photos, and yes Jamie Lynn Sigler was also at the party.
Jenna Fischer looking a bit chilly in New York last night.
Jeff Goldblum looks much younger than the last time he was in the photos.
Jon Hamm looks different but I can’t quite decide why.
So your choices are: A-Jimmy and Sarah rode in a convertible with the top down or B-Had sex in a limo on the way over.
Jason Statham is always out with a new woman everytime we see him now. Interesting.
One of the best actors ever. John Turturo.
A definite random photo. Kyle MacLachlan and Heidi Klum.
Lacuna Coil - Tilburg, Netherlands
Leonardo DiCaprio just because I almost feel obligated.
Next time Leelee Sobieski is just going to cover her entire arm in bracelets.
Let the Say Anything comments begin.
Their initials are MF BAG. I think that says it all.
Aaaah, had to put Mary Stuart Masterson in here after all the Your Turn comments about her. That is her husband Jeremy.
I love Olivia Wilde, but she never smiles on the red carpet.
Russell Brand has had one of the biggest crashes of all time.
Was Russell Crowe a sexiest man alive? I think he must have been.
Rashida Jones would have gone more towards the top but she is back to chain smoking again, so she has to go down here.
Reese Witherspoon looks really good here.
My favorite photo of the day is Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart.
Apparently dinner time when you are Spanish royalty means bowls of jelly beans.
Not only is Tom Jones forced to busk, it appears that no one is actually giving him anything.

Actually the headline might be a little misleading. With the resurgence of the dollar you could probably sleep in Kate Moss’ bed for about $350. I know, I know, but I promise Pete Doherty is not going to wake up next to you. Although I’m sure for an extra $100 he would be willing. I mean this is a guy who used to get paid by the hour so he probably would be up for it.

Actually, the reason you are able to do this is not because Kate is out of money, but because the landlord at some place she rented for three years is selling the bed from the place. Wow. Didn’t realize that people didn’t usually bring their own beds with them. She rented the place from 2001-2004 and the guy is just now getting rid of it. How many other people have slept in it during the past four years? He’s trying to sell the bed at an auction based on Kate’s name, but I want to know who was sleeping it all the other years.

The guy selling it seems to think that every man will want to be able to say he sleeps in Kate Moss’ bed. Umm. Have you seen Kate Moss lately? Have you seen who has been in her bed over the past few years? I’ll take a pass thanks.

In all the talk yesterday in the gossip world about Michael Jackson allegedly being too sick to fly to London and testify in a case where he is being sued, no one really talked about some of the things that Michael is being sued for. One definitely caught my eye. It turns out that the sheikh who is suing Michael, brought in a guy who calls himself a brain power guru. Apparently this guy can turn on your creative juices and get you in the mood to write. In the past you would have just called a guy who would have brought you drugs, but this is the 21st century.

Michael just could not get it up creatively so to speak so Michael wanted this guy flown in from across the world. The sheikh obliged. Nine times. Each time cost $37,000. Can you imagine a job where you just run through some crap exercises you found in a motivation book and be able to charge people $37,000 a session. If that is not the biggest waste of money since E! gave Kim Kardashian a television show that I don’t know what is. OK, giving Jerry O’ Connell a show was probably worse.

The guy hired is Tony Buzan. Never heard of him but supposedly he is a big deal in the whole mind mapping and motivational department. Michael was only in Bahrain for about 11 months so this guy must have been coming in once a month. For what? I will tell you how to motivate Michael. Kick his ass. When is the last time you think someone kicked his ass. Keep kicking his ass until he writes a song. Can you imagine sitting around mapping his mind. One compartment for little kids. One compartment for how good he thinks he is. Lets face it. Michael has not been good in over 20 years. No mind mapping is going to change that.

How many pop stars does it take to change a light bulb? No idea, but it only takes one Britney Spears to turn on the Christmas lights at Rockefeller Center. I wonder if this is panty optional? Jesus must be pissed about this, you’d think a star like Jesus could pull, say, Justin Timberlake or Miley Cyrus, but it looks like he has finally made the D-List. He must be like, ‘I was crucified only to be rewarded with this?’

Sources close to the pop superstar confirm to OK! that on Dec. 3, the day after she turns 27 and her new album, Circus, hits record stores, Britney will be in the Big Apple for the 76th annual tree-lighting extravaganza. What’s still unclear is whether or not she’ll be performing at the ceremony, or just hanging out with host Al Roker for the NBC broadcast of the event.

Finally, Kim Kardashian shows us the bottom of her bikini. No coverups, no towel wraps, just straight up big, round ethnically driven booty. You can actually see booty crack in some of these Kim Kardashian bikini pictures. As friend Paris would say, that’s hot. Not really sure what Kim is up to anymore, although one would assume its some reality show. She’s been lower profile with boyfriend and NFL star running back, Reggie Bush. Maybe they are too busy making babies to come out and play?

More Kim Kardashian bikini pictures.

Not a clear winner today for top photo. I decided to give it to Chris Columbus just because he has made some films I really enjoy. Plus he has never been in the photos before, so might as well put him at the top.

Another first timer I think is Camilla Belle. At this point it is really difficult to remember who has been in or not in the photos.
I know Diedrich Bader has never been in which is a shame because he always cracks me up.
Another guy who is incredibly funny is David Cross. Check out the Meet The Parents pin.
A couple that scowls together stays together. At least until an 18 year old model with a better scowl comes along.
Been awhile since I had Emma Watson in the photos.
One of the nicest guys around is Elijah Wood. Maybe you have heard differently but I have never heard of him turning down a photo or an autograph request.
It’s the Bean. I guess I should call her Frances Bean, but with that middle name it just kind of screams, “hey call me Bean.”
Do you think I would forget to give you a Hugh Jackman photo?
And a bonus one from the side. Never really see him from this angle. Sorry that Nicole got in the way of your enjoyment.
I’ve decided that Jennifer Esposito and Gina Gershon must have the same hair stylist. The shame is they probably paid more for their hair cuts then I have total in the past ten years.
Ummm. John Galliano has taken fashion to a whole other level with this outfit. Not sure what that level is, but it has gone there.
Jennie Garth from the side. Lots of side shots today.
I guess Juliette Lewis should get bonus points for at least trying to look normal.
New lip injections Jessica?
New weave John?
Kim Basinger and Ireland. I can’t decide who she looks like more.
Kristen Stewart at the Twilight premiere.
Kevin Spacey looks really good here. It seems like he has not done much lately, and I miss seeing him in things.
Maria Sharapova just because I had all the male tennis players last week so thought I needed to show some equal time.
Matthew Settle with a crisp, new $1 bill just itching to be spent.
Nikki Reed looking lovely. She has grown up incredibly fast.
I believe this is the first time I have ever given Peter Facinelli his very own photo where he doesn’t have to share.
Justin Long just keeps working his way through the women. I’m joking. Rachel is not susceptible to his charms. I don’t think.
Rosario Dawson and Will Smith. Don’t really have anything to say except that Jada isn’t in it, so it got posted.
Robert Pattinson with his required vampire look.
And I guess a more normal look. He is a method actor so I don’t want to speculate how you prepare for being a vampire if you are a method actor.
The one and only Rainn Wilson.
Steely Dan - Montclair, NJ
Someone today suggested I sue Stephanie Meyer for making them lactose intolerant due to the overwhelming amount of cheese she puts in her books.
Sigur Ros - Amsterdam
The best marketing idea of the day.
I can’t even bend like that. To actually attempt it on ice wearing tiny blades is beyond me.
Teri Polo has also never been in the photos.

Apparently Angelina Jolie is a trendsetter. Last week if you will recall she said she was going to give up acting at some point to focus on her family and also because I guess it is tough juggling films and pregnancies. It isn’t like she and Brad are hurting for cash on the homefront, so if she decided to retire in a few years, I think the only impact would be that maybe instead of a new jet every year, maybe they could only get one every two years. Well, with all the attention she got for saying that she might retire you would think that other actresses would be wanting to jump in with both feet to try and steal some of Angelina’s roles.

Well, not Nicole Kidman. Nicole is also thinking of retiring from acting. Not because she has not had a hit movie in forever and people are balking at paying her outrageous fee for flops, but because she too just wants to stay home and have more babies. Last night at the premiere of Australia, she said she couldn’t handle being away from her daughter and so she is just thinking about giving it all up for family.

Not to be outdone by the women, Chris Martin said in an interview yesterday that he is going to quit Coldplay next year when he turns 33 because he wants to spend time with his family and feels that all rockers should give up by the age of 33. I don’t know where he came up with that age, but I would gather by the time he hits about 33 and three months and realizes that not being a rocker means staying home with Gwyneth everyday that he will suddenly discover that perhaps 33 might be too young to retire after all.

I just love how these trends just become news. One week all the articles are about actors wanting to adopt. The next week all the articles are about how everyone cooks all their own food and then this week every person wants to retire. It’s like the publicists see what gets news and then tells their client to go ahead and say the same damn thing. Either that or every publicist has the same idea of the week calendar they all got for Christmas.

Dear Tom & Katie,

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years and 500 auditing sessions since the two of you walked down the aisle in Italy. Two years of living on separate floors, while pretending to have the romance of the century has to be difficult. You would think that with your prolonged absences from each other this year that you would want to spend some quality time alone on your anniversary. Maybe Tom would dress you up as his favorite superhero and you would have hot passionate monkey sex all night. But no. Instead you did what any couple celebrating your anniversary would do, you had the kids over and played the Scientology version of Trivial Pursuit. Aaah, good times.

Over the past two years you have seen both of your careers go into the toilet but it has not let you stop pretending otherwise. Sure, Katie has been forced to take the fourth lead in a Broadway play, but Tom has that big Christmas spectacular coming out and with the advance reviews, I’m sure that movie has a chance to at least pay for that autographed first edition of Dianetics.

For people who really don’t have much of a career, you sure do get photographed a lot. I myself am guilty of showing your photos more than I probably should simply because I think your daughter is adorable. I say your daughter, but I’m really not sure about that whole thing. I can’t wait until she is old enough and then have her provide a DNA sample, because I’m just dying to know. I figure at some point she will go through some kind of teenage rebellion phase and that will be the perfect chance.

But, this is not about her, this is about your love for each other. I have never seen a couple pose so much for the cameras together in public. It’s almost like you really want the world to show us you are together. Always wearing matching clothes with your arms around each other. From the looks of things you have never had a fight. Considering you probably only see each other during a photo opportunity, that is probably why you don’t fight. I’ve always been curious about what you would fight over. Do you have a copy of the alleged contract on your refrigerator door and refer to it when you fight. “It says here I only have to pretend to like you three days a week, so I don’t have to do four.”

Katie, it seems like you really don’t get out much. Oh sure you walk the 20 feet from your apartment door to the car and back again each day, but when is the last time you went out with someone other than Tom or one of the bodyguards? We never see you at lunch in New York, just laughing with friends. That can’t be a good thing. The only time you are out with friends, it is always another couple, of an equally appropriate Hollywood stature and you are all smiles. How about just going out and getting hammered one night and letting the pap catch you?

Anyway, it has been two years and I’m sure you are both ecstatic to have made it this long. Congratulations.
