Blake Lively Gets A Restraining Order Against Fan

Some guy named Sergei Mifle has been hanging around the set of Gossip Girl and also harassing Blake Lively's mother so Blake Lively got a restraining order in California against the guy. Well, if he is in New York why would you get the order in California? In their application for a restraining order they say they feel threatened by the guy and that he claims to have a metaphysical connection with Blake and is worried about her mother. I am fearful for celebrities of all stalkers and usually side with them on all these restraining order situations, but I have to say that if the guy fights this thing he would probably win and the temporary restraining order would be lifted. Blake is complaining the guy has harassed her a bunch since February 1st but then says she has been out of the country so I don't get it. Anyway, if it keeps them safe, then I am for it, I just wonder sometimes if celebrities just do it to make a little news.
