Katie Holmes' Stalker Problem
That subtle difference was made clear in Canada, where a 36-year-old man has been remanded to a mental ward while awaiting charges that he made harassing phone calls to the WB cutie's father (we're presuming to get his blessing for the nuptials).
Ottawa resident Michael Willis is accused of criminal harassment and mischief after he allegedly called the home of Martin Holmes and also wrote to a lawyer for NBC's corporate parent, General Electric, the Toronto Sun reports.
Prosecutors say Willis--a former Rhodes scholar--repeatedly called Holmes's dad to discuss his "engagement" to the 22-year-old actress. He also allegedly called and wrote letters to GE lawyer Ben Heinman, demanding that NBC pay him $50,000 because he claimed Tom Brokaw and his news staff were stealing his story ideas.
Willis has pleaded innocent to the charges, with his lawyer claiming Willis should not be held criminally responsible because of his mental health. He will spend the next month at Royal Ottawa Hospital while his lawyer and prosecutors work out some technical matters in the case.
Holmes's publicist did not immediately comment on the case.
The Ohio-born actress' recent big-screen credits include Wonder Boys and The Gift, but she's best known for her small-screen role as Joey, the dimpled darling of Dawson's Creek. Production on the WB show's fifth season began last month in North Carolina, and the season premiere is set for October 3 at 8 p.m.
