Debbie Gibson gets restraining order for fan club stalker...

Gibson claimed Puigdollers has attended all of her “nationwide performances” since 2002, where he often tries to go backstage to see her and get autographs. He also follows her to her hotel room, according to court papers.

When Puigdollers came to the front door of the Gibson’s Los Angeles home Sunday, the 1980s pop star called police “for fear of my life,” she wrote in court documents.

The Police Department granted Gibson an emergency protective order that expires Friday, according to her court papers.

The emergency order allows Puigdollers to get within 10 yards of Gibson at her concerts, but he still must stay at least 100 yards from her home.

“I understand that she wants her privacy,” said Puigdollers, a taxi driver. “I would like to say I’m sorry. I don’t want problems and I don’t want to bother her so much.”
