Jennifer Aniston has been granted a temporary restraining order against a man who authorities claim traveled across the country to try to marry her.

Jason R. Peyton, 24, was detained last week after he spent days trying to find Aniston, 41, on Sunset Boulevard. On him: A sharp object, duct tape and love notes to the actress.

"Mr. Peyton has aggressively sought to have personal contact with me and integrate himself into my life," she said in a signed court declaration.

"Due to Mr. Peyton's delusional compulsion and increasingly harassing, stalking and threatening conduct, I have been subjected to a course of conduct which has and is seriously alarming, annoying and harassing me.

"Mr. Peyton's ongoing, ever-increasing, aggressive and harassing conduct are extremely distressing. I fear for my personal safety and that of those around me," her statement concluded.

According to court documents filed Tuesday, Peyton -- who is now on an involuntary psychiatric hold by Los Angeles police -- had been accused of stalking others and is disobeying court orders that he must take anti-psychotic medications.

    Jennifer may be a celebrity but it doesn't give people the right to stalk her. For her own safety I would keep this guy locked up.

    That is creepy.

    Wow, that IS scary. This dude must be unbelievably crazy if he's obsessed with Jennifer Aniston!!!! Lock this Loonifer up and throw away the key!

    @unknown : well... someone called BRAD PITT stuck with her long enough to propose, and long after he did, whether you like it or not... @steve : since Vince Vaughn and John Mayer wanted to get back with her and actually did (once), I guess we can consider that in some way they chased her, though I'm glad she didn't keep them.

    There are some really disturbed and bitter people on this website. You guys are probably friends with this guy. All crazies stick together! Jen is great at 40 and will be at 50, 60 etc. Just hope any of you judgemental freaks look good NOW. doubt it. Oh, and all these women acting like a man is what makes you. I feel really sorry for you. You must have nothing going for you in life...BLAH BLAH

    Well,at least some one wants to marry her

    this isn't shocking. Male gold diggers are usually creepy and dangerous. Males dont have the same ability to seduce rich females that females have to seduce rich males. A female can seduce a rich man with just the power of her femininity.....but males dont have that same ability to seduce rich women... so they resort to REAL REAL creepy methods of gold digging like this creeper. I wish it was legal to shoot legit stalkers.

    well for the ones that are saying that she should consider this person... I wonder what would you do if you have a person chase you, be in your life without you wanting them in it.. and well then force themselves to you so you will marry them.. that would be so much fun! did it say that he had a sharp object and duck tape.. men that would be an awesome honeymoon.. seriously... think!

    You guys who find this funny are just as psycho and mentally ill as the stalker himself. Stalking can lead to murder, you bimbos! Jen did the right thing putting a restraining order against the creep.

  • July 21, 2010 - 10:46am jorden

    scary stuff!

  • July 21, 2010 - 10:38am my2cents

    Hmmm...maybe she should stop flashing her ass all over town and posing half naked in magazines. I have no sympathy for this woman.

  • July 21, 2010 - 10:34am GOOD JOB!!

    I'm so sick of criminals in general and stalkers are especially creepy. I'm not even a Jennifer Aniston fan but nobody, celebrity or "regular" person, should have to live with the fear of knowing that somebody is out to harm you. Keep safe, Jennifer.

    It is very scary. Jen is a strong woman and will be careful. She's supported a Abuse Center for woman a long time and knows what can happen. Can't wait for The Switch. Stay safe. Our prayers are with you.

  • July 21, 2010 - 9:50am Kitty Says: Wow Jen this one is younger than your ex Jon and he is after you! I bet he would break up with you in public and humiliate you like Jon did twice! Give it some thought girl!

    Okay just kidding! On a more serious note, though, wow, really scary. I wish that they would put his picture up so that people out there know what this creep looks like. I hope her body guards are going to be extra cautious. Its insane how these creeps build up these fantasy's in their heads and truly believe that these cream of the crop girls would give them the time of day! Be careful Jen and I truly hope that this experience wont leave you to shaken up! Looking forward to Switch!! Peace!
