Michael Strahan - The Good Morning America host had his life threatened by a crazed homeless man recently, who attempted to break into ABC studios brandishing a knife with the intention to kill Strahan. Thankfully, cops were able to contain the mad man before he could get to Strahan. Still, it's a good thing the GMA host used to play defense.

Jennifer Lopez - It's scary enough when a stalker breaks into your home, but in J.Lo's case, he decided to move in for nearly a week. John M. Dubis, 43, took residence in the pool house of Lopez's Southampton estate in early August 2013, presumably waiting for the singer to get home. Luckily, she was out of town at the time, but that didn't stop her from getting a restraining order against Dubis, who is in police custody. As for Lopez's swanky $10 million estate, it reportedly came with a "privacy guarantee." So much for that.(Photo: PacificCoastNews.com)

Halle Berry - The beautiful actress had to contend with a creep by the name of Richard Franco in 2013.

Still, Berry has a 10-year restraining order against him. (Photo: Splash News)

Michael Jackson - MJ sang, “Billie Jean is not my lover,” in his massive 1983 hit, but a woman who says she’s Billie Jean Jackson claims otherwise. According to court documents, Billie Jean Jackson, who is believed to be Lavon Powlis, claimed in 2008 that she was married to Michael and sought joint custody of his youngest child, Blanket, whose birth name is Prince Michael II. Billie Jean sued the late singer for $1 billion dollars “in support of Blanket.”(Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Michael Jackson - The late pop star was revealed to be the object of a crazed stalker in 1992 who sent him — and, unrelatedly, President George H.W. Bush — multiple death threats. According to FBI files, released in 2009 after Jackson's death, the stalker was obsessed with MJ's sister Janet Jackson and wanted to commit "mass murder" at one of his concerts and then kill the music icon himself. The stalker was sentenced to two years in prison for his threats.(Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Justin Timberlake - JT was on the recieving end of some unwanted female attention last year, when a 50-something woman showed up at the singer's house, claiming to know him and referring to herself as "god." The stalker, Karen McNeil, also claimed that she and Timberlake were meant to "rule together" and that she was being pursued by witches. But JT wasn't the first star McNeil had stalked. She displayed similar behavior toward rocker Axl Rose. Timberlake won a restraining order against the crazed fan.(Photo: Thomas Janssen/Pacificcoastnews.com)

Jamie Foxx - Foxx had an unexpected visitor to his Philadelphia hotel room a few years ago, when a man posing as Beyoncé's producer tried to get in. When the actor realized the man was a stalker who had made two other attempts to enter his room in the same week, he managed to forcibly remove him and slam the door in his face. Cops were called a few weeks later when the man showed up to the set of Foxx's film, and he was quickly arrested.(Photo: PacificCoastNews.com)

Tyra Banks - The supermodel has had to endure a number of stalkers over the years, but the most dangerous seem to be Brady Green, arrested in 2009 for harassing Banks (he served no jail time but a restraining order was put in place), and then Marten Williams, Jr. just one year later. Banks sought a restraining order against Williams in 2010 after learning he had been stalking her for four years, including leaving her "ominous frightening letters and items" at her home and declaring that 1/08/11 was to be their wedding day. At the time of his arrest, Williams also believed he had killed President George W. Bush and that Michael Jackson was still alive.(Photo: PacificCoastNews.com)

Tyler Perry - Sure, Perry has his haters, but none have come close to taking their ire as far as Dawne Wilson, a young woman who stalked Perry in 2009 and then declared her intent to murder him. Wilson, who began by sending Perry harassing emails, was later found "agressively stalking" his Atlanta production office and a recording studio where Perry was working. "Your love has been costly but deadly," Wilson said in one of her creepy emails. "The verdict I say is murder." She added, "Why do you insist on assisting the devil?" Thankfully, Wilson was arrested for violating her restraining order.(Photo: Allan Bregg/Splash News)

Paula Abdul - This is a case of Idol-ization gone very wrong. The American Idol judge was stalked for months by a former contestant named Paula Goodspeed before the stalker was found dead in her car near Abdul's home. Police ruled it a suicide. Prescription pills along with pictures and CDs of Abdul were found in the car. But it wasn't exactly good riddance for the compassionate judge, who claimed she was "shocked and saddened" by the suicide and that her "heart goes out to [Goodspeed's] family."(Photo: Alberto E.

Kim Kardashian - As one of the most public figures in the world, Kardashian has had to deal with her fair share of crazed fans. But a few of them have gone too far.

Earlier, in 2010, Kim had to contend with a Twitter stalker named Dennis Bowman, who bashed her on the social media site and then made repeated attempts to contact her sister Khloe and then-boyfriend Miles Austin. Kim won a restaining order against the young man.(Photo: Pacificcoastnews.com)
