Taylor Swift granted protective order against ex-con stalker who claims she is mother of his child
The 35-year-old singer filed for a protective order and was granted a temporary restraining order on Monday.
According to the filing obtained by TMZ, Taylor alleges that an ex-convict keeps showing up to her house and making the claim about his child.
Brian Jason Wagner, 45, even changed the address on his driver's license to her residence in Los Angeles, the star claimed.
In the documents, Taylor claims that Wagner had showed up at her property on consecutive days in May, asking to see her and telling security that he was there to check on a friend.
She goes on to say that her security team ran a 'criminal history report' on Wagner and found he had been previously incarcerated.
Taylor went on to explain that she was told that he had been sending her lengthy communications from his time in prison, filled with fabricated stories about his involvement in her personal life.
Taylor alleges that Wagner had used concerning and threatening language in the communications and even attempted to divert mail away from her LA residence.
According to TMZ she claimed he 'even lied to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to somehow change the address on his driver's license to my Los Angeles home'.
The singer also claims that Wagner had previously gone to her home at least three times in July 2024, including once when he allegedly carried a glass bottle 'that could have been used as a weapon'.
Taylor claims that she had never met or communicated with Wagner and asked via the court order for Wagner to stay at least 100 yards away from her, her home, her workplace, and car.
The star has dealt with numerous stalkers in the past, including one who sent twisted letters threatening to kill her.

Outkast rapper Big Boi's uncle gunned down in Atlanta road-rage horror
The uncle of Outkast member Big Boi has been fatally shot in a road-rage incident in Atlanta. Remoin Patton, 62, was found dead shortly after 5.30pm on June 16, the Atlanta Police Department said. Two people have been arrested in connection with the killing, detectives announced Friday. Patton is the uncle of the 50-year-old rapper - real name Antwan Andre Patton - who is responsible for founding hip-hop duo Outkast, along with Andre 3000. According to police, Patton had been behind the wheel and was attempting to make a turn when he got into a verbal argument with the occupants of another vehicle. 'During the altercation, the victim was shot, causing him to crash his vehicle into a vacant residence,' the APD said. Patton was later found by officers with a gunshot wound to the back, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. 'The car just turned and crashed into the house. Actually the double windows were right here,' Chris Walker, who was housesitting the property for its landlord, told WSBTV. 'I'm like, "What the heck happened to my place that I'm staying now?"' Walker continued. 'I never thought it would be this property.' Footage from the station shows that Patton appears to have hit a support post on the home's covered porch and crashed through a section of its front wall, which was later covered with a tarp. Police announced Friday that a suspected gunman had been arrested as part of its investigation. Jabyrion Crumbley, 18, was said to have been joined by his attorney when he turned himself in to police on Wednesday, July 2, at the Fulton County Jail, where he was booked. Crumbley has been charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

According to jail records, she was booked on June 21 and released on a $30,000 surety bond the following day. 'Everybody who knows Uncle Moonie heart aches,' Big Boi said in a statement to WSBTV on Thursday. 'He wasn't just "My" Uncle, he was Unk to all that met him.

The group hasn't released an album since 2006, though both have released multiple solo albums in the ensuing years.

Jon Jones performs retirement U-turn and announces return to UFC testing pool after Dana White lying claims
JON JONES has performed a stunning retirement U-turn and re-entered the UFC's drug testing pool. The former pound-for-pound king brought the curtain down on his legendary career late last month, seemingly ending fans' hope of a heavyweight title unification with Brit Tom Aspinall. 5 5 5 5 But the 37-year-old, who has been incredibly active on social media since he hung up his gloves, has seemingly had a change of heart and appears to want to fight again. After getting wind of Donald Trump 's plans to host a fight card on the grounds of the White House, Jones wrote on X: "Fighting at the White House? "Just re-entered the testing pool, that lasted for about two weeks. "Figured we'd keep everyone's options open." Jones' revelation quickly became the talk of MMA fans, one of whom commented: "The GOAT is back." Another said: "Genius. Bones knows how to play the game of legacy making. Aspinall wasn't it." And another said: "Yeah, buddy. I hope to god u come back and beat on Tom. Just to shut everyone up. "I personally just want to see u fight again and it doesn't matter the opponent." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 5 One remarked: "Tom gets a fight booked and all of a sudden you're making a comeback? lol alright Another chimed in: "This was a smart play by Jon. "By retiring and having the UFC strip him, he no longer has the pressure to fight the #1 guy. "He can now fight any other big names of his choice for a final payday." Jones' vacating of the heavyweight title and retirement saw Wigan warrior Aspinall promoted from interim to undisputed heavyweight champion. The UFC desperately tried to make a unification bout between the pair and even met Jones' demands to be paid " F**K YOU MONEY" to make the fight happen. UFC supremo Dana White claimed Jones "agreed" to the fight before performing a U-turn, a notion the Hall of Famer denied. Jones has since claimed he retired LAST NOVEMBER and that the UFC were well aware of his decision. White dismissed that claim when recently asked by SunSport, saying: "That's not true. "I'm telling you the truth. Believe who you want to believe." News of Jones' retirement came just hours before it emerged he had been charged with fleeing the scene of an accident in New Mexico in February. An "intoxicated" woman found at the scene, who was "lacking clothing from the waist down", claimed Jones was the driver of the vehicle. Jones, who alluded to threats of violence while on the phone to police at the scene, has vehemently denied the allegation and insisted the woman found in the car drove away from his house while intoxicated.

Now, his final public messages with his only child, 25, who he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns, have been revealed in a bittersweet moment. McMahon was every inch the doting father in March when Madison shared a personal achievement on her Instagram page. Madison posted a video of herself teaching her first yoga class, writing in the caption: 'Taught my first yoga class today. I guess dreams do come true.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. McMahon was quick to write a supportive comment beneath the post, congratulating his adult daughter for achieving her dream job in Miami. 'Your awesome!' he wrote, to which Madison playfully replied with: 'No YOU'RE awesome!' The pair appeared to have a very loving relationship, as another exchange between the pair in 2023 saw McMahon consoling Madison over the death of her dog. 'To the best puppy there is and ever was, my love for you is infinite Sandy,' she wrote alongside a tribute post at the time. 'I will forever be missing you until we meet again.' McMahon responded with: 'Love. That's it! Right there. Thank you!' The Australian-American actor was married to Baywatch star Burns for two years before they split in 2001, one year after Madison was born. Burns posted her own tribute to McMahon on Saturday, sharing a photo of him with their daughter alongside a broken heart emoji. He went on to marry former model and children's book author Kelly in 2014 after 11 years of dating. The Australian entertainment industry is currently in mourning after the death of beloved actor McMahon this week. He recently starred alongside Nicholas Cage in the Stan original film The Surfer. 'We're heartbroken to hear of the passing of Julian McMahon,' the Stan official Instagram account posted on Saturday. 'His extraordinary talent and presence left a lasting mark on everyone he worked with, including the team behind The Surfer. 'These words from Australian producer Robert Connolly reflect the deep respect and affection he inspired.' Connolly penned: 'Julian was an exceptional gentleman, a consummate professional, a stunning actor and an absolute delight to work with. 'His performance in The Surfer is a triumph—one among many great performances in an incredible career—and a tour de force celebration of his skill and presence on our screens. 'His huge commitment to the film took Julian from the beaches of Western Australia, to its world premiere in Cannes, to the US and beyond, and we were all so very lucky to have shared this journey with such a gifted and exceptional performer. 'A true gift in all our careers to have had the chance to work together with such a wonderful person.' News of the beloved actor's death has also sent shockwaves through Hollywood, with celebrities taking to social media to offer heartfelt tributes. Nicolas Cage shared his reaction to the 'deeply saddening news', writing: 'I spent six weeks working with Julian, and he was the most talented of actors. 'Our scenes together on The Surfer were amongst my favourites I have ever participated in, and Julian is one of my favourite people. 'He was a kind and intelligent man. My love to his family.' US actress Rose McGowan who starred alongside McMahon in the hit series Charmed, took to Instagram on Saturday to pay homage to the star. She re-shared an illustration of McMahon wearing what appeared to be angel wings. Madison posted a video of herself teaching her first yoga class, writing: 'Taught my first yoga class today. I guess dreams do come true.' And McMahon was quick to support her 'Oh Julian, you force of brilliance,' she wrote. 'For you, your family, and your loving fans all over the world, I pray for comfort.' McGowan, 51, also commented on the original post from artist 'Stagwarlock'. 'Beautiful art of a beautiful soul,' she wrote, to which the artist replied: '@rosemcgowan as sad as he was magnetic.' Fellow Charmed co-star Brian Krause, who played Leo Wyatt on the hit series, also shared his condolences. He posted a photo of McMahon beaming broadly while remembering the actor as a 'kind soul'. 'Sad day for our Charmed family!' Krause captioned the image. 'Julian was one of the funniest, devilishly handsome and kind souls! Prayers to his family and close friends. He will surely be missed!' His post was met with an outpouring of condolences from fans and followers. 'RIP JULIAN, our Cole Turner, gone too soon, now reunited with Shannen in Heaven,' one fan wrote, referring to fellow Charmed star Shannen Doherty, who passed away in July 2024. Another chimed in with a similar: 'Nooo! Not Cole! So heartbreaking. F-Cancer. The only comfort is that I'm sure Shannen welcomed him with open arms. 'What a tremendously amazing actor. He could play a hero or villain beautifully. Gone too soon. Condolences to his family.' Holly Marie Combs, who starred as Piper Halliwell on the hit show, joined her Charmed alumni with a tribute. She shared a clip from a fan account which showed a montage of McMahon behind the scenes from the filming of Charmed. The video shows the Aussie actor hamming it up with castmates including Alyssa Milano and Doherty. 'My favourite pain in the a*** ever,' she wrote, augmenting the sentiment with silver heart emojis. McMahon starred alongside Doherty and Milano on the cult Aaron Spelling-created magical drama Charmed. He played Cole Turner, the half-demon ex-husband of Alyssa's character Phoebe Halliwell. Quickly becoming a fan favourite, McMahon had a starring role in the series for three seasons before returning in the seventh season in a guest capacity. During his time on Charmed, McMahon was also romantically linked to Doherty, with the pair dating briefly during the show's third season in 2000–2001. McMahon's wife of 11 years, Paniagua, confirmed his death on Friday. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she said in a statement to Deadline. Paniagua continued by expressing the love McMahon had for his fans and those around him and what being an actor meant to him during his life. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible,' she said. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. 'And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.'
