We hear a lot about how often celebrity stalking is not taken seriously enough, but sometimes we hear stories of justice being served. Steven Richard Burky, the man who was found guilty on charges of stalking Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, has been sent to live in a mental institution. From Radar Online:

“Steven Richard Burky, pleaded no contest today to two counts of felony stalking. Judge Katherine Mader then found him not guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced him to Patton State Hospital. Deputy District Attorney Wendy Segall said the judge made her ruling based on reports from two psychiatrists who examined Burky.”

On the chance that Steven is released from the mental institution, there has also been a 10-year, 500-yard restraining order put in place to protect Ben, Jen and the kids.

It’s definitely a positive sign for celebrities that their safety is being taken seriously, but it’s slightly sad to know that scaling the side of someone’s house to deliver them the presents you made them out of your own body hair will now get you locked away. Whatever. As long as James Franco loves the pet dog I wove him out of my pubes, I am totally fine eating Jell-O on a cot for the next 20 years of my life. I’ve seen Girl, Interrupted. I can hack that shit for James.

Although it occasionally seems as though things might be improving for Lindsay Lohan, all you have to do is ask around Hollywood and you’ll still find out that she’s very much persona non grata. Rob Shuter from PopEater experienced this first hand while gossiping with a casting director this week. According to Rob, the CD said the following about LL:

“Lindsay hasn’t worked for a long time, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. It’s very hard to get her insurance and no studio or director is going to hire her without it. At this point, Heidi Montag is likely to make more movies than Lindsay Lohan.”

So yes, things are still looking pretty dire for Lindz. It takes years for an insurance rate to decrease and that’s only if you’re taking every step possible to improve your health. That means providing a clean urine sample, something I’m sure Lindsay hasn’t done since her Parent Trap days.

What have we learned today? Stay away from the coke or Heidi Montag will get your jobs.

In case you missed it the first time around, Evil Beet Gossip is hiring an every-other-weekend writer. This is a PAID position. The deadline to apply is this Friday.

Further details are here.

Thank you to everyone who’s applied so far, and I look forward to hearing from the rest of you guys!

Late last year Tina Fey mentioned in an interview that Matt Damon was one of her top picks for a potential 30 Rock guest spot. Of course upon hearing this, Matt Damon was not only down to grant Tina her wish, he seemed almost desperate to give the collaboration a shot, saying at the time, “I would do [30 Rock] in a heartbeat if they asked me to come on. She should call my people — or even better me. Or I could call her. Let’s make this happen.”

Then today it was announced that it will totally be happening. Amazing! Yes, Matt Damon’s a great dramatic actor, but he’s always brought the laughs. His guest stint on Will & Grace still makes me giggle and he was pretty good natured when Sarah Silverman announced to the world that they were fucking. And he’s hot for days. Per usual, there are no details about what kind of character Matt will play, but the safe bet is that he’ll be another man for Jenna.

The episode will most likely air at the end of the season. Get excited!

We’re on to Phase 3 of the now-standard Hollywood sex scandal: Rehab! Jesse James’ rep spoke exclusively to People Magazine and said, “Jesse checked himself into a treatment facility to deal with personal issues. He realized that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family and help save his marriage.” The rep also stated that attending rehab was Jesse’s own idea. I would imagine that that’s probably because his wife’s not even talking to him.

We’ve seen David Duchovny, Tiger Woods and Russell Brand head to treatment just for their compulsion to bone everything in sight, but I’m not sure that this is actual treatment as much as it’s a good way to save face in public. Sandra’s moved out, he’s had alleged affairs with four women, and he’s been tied to white supremacy. It’s obvious that this guy has to do something to clean up his life, so let’s hope that this “treatment facility” gets the job done.

For someone who tries in every fashion to emulate her idol, Angelina Jolie, you’d think Megan Fox would jump at the chance to fill the shoes of a role that Jolie’s already done.

“Insiders” on the movie state that she was offered the role of Lara Croft in the latest Tomb Raider installment and girlfriend turned it down.  This source states:

“The offer has been on the table for Megan for a while but she’s reluctantly turned it down. She’s the logical choice to play Lara and she loves the character but the comparison with Angelina is too much. It looks like the movie will now star an unknown.”

Although Fox outwardly appears to try her best in being compared to Angelina, she claims that the comparison is insulting:

“If I am not a party girl and they can’t sell me as that, and I’m not an Oscar winning actress and they can’t sell me as that, then they have to package me somehow and for some reason they latched on to the Angelina thing because I have a lot of tattoos.”

Um, and because your hair’s styled in the same way Jolie’s is and you had your lips all jacked up … Oh and because you place your body in very similar poses that a certain former-model-turned-award-winning-actress has — but nope. You’re right.  I see absolutely no similarities. Just be careful, Foxy … for all of this non-Jolie-impersonating, people might think you’re trying to be like Octo-Mom instead.
