Childhood Knife Attack Left Funny Fey With A Scarred Face
1 December 2008 6:03 AM, PST
U.S. comedienne Tina Fey's famous facial scar was the result of a childhood knife attack, according to her husband.
The Emmy Award-winning 30 Rock and Mean Girls writer/star rarely talks about the incident, but her husband, Jeff Richmond, reveals all in a new Vanity Fair interview.
He tells the publication, "She just thought somebody marked her with a pen."
Richmond explains his wife was five at the time, adding he thinks the scar by her left cheek is one of the most beautiful things about his wife: "That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life."
Asked to comment further on the knife attack, Fey tells the publication, "It's impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it."
Dunst Wins Restraining Order Against Intruder
1 December 2008 6:03 AM, PST
Actress Kirsten Dunst has been granted a restraining order against an intruder who was found on her estate last month.
Dunst wasn't at home when the trespasser, Christopher Smith, was apprehended and escorted off the property.
The star maintains Smith has trespassed on her land before.
In court documents Dunst states, "Mr. Smith has repeatedly shown up uninvited at my place of residence in Los Angeles, going so far as to ignore police warnings, bypass my personal security measures, trespass on my property, and attempt to gain entry into my home.
"Mr. Smith is apparently mentally ill, and, although he has never met me, believes that he has some sort of spiritual connection with me."
She adds, "Mr. Smith's sudden, aggressive and harassing efforts to contact me are extremely frightening. I fear not only for my own personal safety, but also for the safety and well being of my housemate and assistant."
Los Angeles police have confirmed they did apprehend an intruder at Dunst's home.
In his statement to police, Smith revealed he's in love with the star, adding, "I connected with Kirsten spiritually, I felt like I connected with her and she connected with me. Now I don't know if she did, I guess you have to ask her if she connected."
In court papers, Dunst claims Smith was found on her property after her assistant informed him that the actress was not home via the intercom at the front gate.
He later knocked on her front door and attempted to gain access to the actress' home.
Dunst claimed the intrusion was the fourth in two days.

Hudson's Former Brother-in-law Arrested
1 December 2008 5:38 PM, PST
Jennifer Hudson's former brother-in-law has been arrested in connection with the murders of the singer/actress' mother, brother and nephew.
William Balfour, who was married to the Oscar winner's sister, Julia, has maintained he had nothing to do with the slayings in October - even though Illinois police reportedly linked him to the gun which killed Hudson's family members.
And on Monday, Chicago police served Balfour with an arrest warrant in connection with the triple murder.
The accused has been in custody in Stateville Correctional Center on a violation of parole since the killings. He was transferred to police custody on Monday, where he will be held pending approval of charges by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
Hudson has been in hiding since the tragedy and has cancelled a string of promotional duties related to her self-titled debut album, which was released just weeks before the tragedy.
