Amber's Anti-Arcadia Stalker
Amber Tamblyn's real life is starting to resemble a plotline from Joan of Arcadia.
But instead of being visited by God in the form of strangers, Tamblyn's apparently stuck with a plain old nutjob.
The 21-year-old actress was granted an extended restraining order Thursday against a man accused of stalking and threatening her.
Tamblyn's attorney, Benjamin David Ammerman, requested the extension from a Santa Monica judge, reports Celebrity Justice. The order bars Frederick Cragin Demetz Jr. from coming within 100 yards of the actress.
According to the Joan of Arcadia star, Demetz had been leaving her threatening phone messages since last October.
In one message left at the show's CBS production office, Demetz allegedly said: "No one is more evil than you, Joan of Arcadia."
He also pledged to "torture" Tamblyn for "millions of years" and "drill things into your kneecaps," per Celebrity Justice.
Tamblyn became even more fearful for her safety when Demetz allegedly broke into her trailer on the set of Joan of Arcadia, the syndicated show reports.
Ammerman would not comment on the case Friday.
Although ratings for Joan have taken a hit this year (the show is averaging 8.3 million viewers, down from 10.1 million last season), Tamblyn's career is taking off. She has been nominated for both an Emmy and Golden Globe for Joan and is set to star in Warner Bros.' The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants due out in June. It will be her first lead role in a feature (she did have a minor part in 2002's The Ring).
And if the thespian thing flounders, she has a fall-back plan. In an essay titled "Hollywood Is Hard" on her Website, Tamblyn says she considers acting her second career choice--she really wants to be a writer and her first book, Free Stallion: Poems, is due in October from Simon & Schuster.
