According to Radar Online, the 23-year-old cyber-stalker, Tanya Maree Quattrocchi, “pleaded guilty to accusations she hacked into the MySpace account of DeGarmo and intercepted the e-mails of her roommate and mother.”

She has made Diana’s life really difficult and I honestly think that the woman is not only dangerous but she’s also in dire need of some mental help (and I hope she gets it!). 

Can you imagine having a stalker?  It’s got to be hard when you’re a celebrity because you’ve got to find a way to feel comfortable with a crowd without being overwhelmed by it but when you know that there is someone out there who is truly obsessed with you (and willing to go to jail for it) and possibly intends to harm you in some way, how do you ever leave the house?  I would be a basket case!

Oddly enough, the cyber-stalking began back in May 2007 when Tanye Maree Quattrocci, 23, was convicted of blackmailing and stalking DeGarmo.  The whole situation would have ended with Quattrocci completing her community service but the woman just could not stay away.  She subsequently hacked into DeGarmo’s MySpace account 700 times between May 2008 and January 2009.  How is that even possible!?

The next hearing for Quattrocci will be held on May 1, 2009 but the woman had tried to petition the court to allow her to get out for Easter, with her mother promising to quit her job to watch over her.  The requests were denied.

I have loved some celebrities in my lifetime but I’ve never understood the concept of stalking.  The only thing it accomplishes is that the object of your affection will begin to hate and resent you.  Sure, they know your name but it doesn’t matter because it’s a negative thing. 

Have you ever been tempted to stalk a star in a non-healthy way?  I’d love to hear about it!
