It seems like we’re hearing many more chilling stories about stalkers targeting celebrities. Uma Thurman gave emotional testimony on Thursday about a man who stalked and tormented her for two years, often waiting outside her NY apartment for her. 37 year-old Jack Jordan tried to break into Thurman’s trailer when she was filming in 2005. He lived in his car outside her place, and sent her disturbing hand drawn pictures and cards, calling her children an “illusion” and telling her she had no children. Thurman testified that she felt like she was in a “nightmare” and that she was “completely freaked out.” Jordan has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, according to his lawyer. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted.

Kate Hudson is filming Bride Wars in Boston with Anne Hathaway, and she also has a very mentally disturbed man interested in her. A 44 year-old man was arrested for burglary in Boston and police report that he “had an unhealthy interest in Kate Hudson.” Her security was alerted to the threat, and he’s being held on a mental evaluation for 30 days.

This guy doesn’t seem to have the wherewithal to actually find Hudson, but he’s certainly scary enough. Police found all sorts of brick a brack in his car including axes, lawn ornaments and women’s clothing:

Neil Bergman, 44, of Whitefield, N.H., was arraigned on burglary charges in Boston Municipal Court the other day and was packed off for a 30-day mental evaluation, the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office confirmed to the Track. Other sources report that after Bergman was apprehended, he allegedly ranted to cops about Hudson and her mother, actress Goldie Hawn.

“This suspect made statements to the arresting officers that indicated the individual had an unhealthy interest in Kate Hudson,” Boston police spokesgal Elaine Driscoll told the Track. “As a matter of caution, we alerted her security…”

Sources said the actress’ purported unwanted admirer, who claims to be a bartender at the Mountain View Grand Resort, was tossed out of the fab Four Seasons for “making a ruckus” the day before he was allegedly nabbed with stolen property. It’s unclear if Bergman thought Hudson was staying there. She is not.

BTW, Bergman supposedly posed as a gardener on Beacon Hill while allegedly burglarizing homes. Police arrested him last week near the Boston Common bandstand – he was wearing yellow slippers – and charged him with receiving stolen goods, burglary and other infractions.

In his 2000 Honda Civic, police allegedly found two axes, computer equipment, a copper weather vane, outdoor flower pots, an Elvis plate, a Christmas tree, ahem, and lots of women’s clothing.

When you’re famous it’s not enough trouble to have everyone speculating about your personal life, you also have the threat of crazed stalkers looming over your head. You can kind of understand why Renee Zellweger sold her home and now lives in different hotels throughout the world. She probably feels a lot safer that way.
