In what was probably the most exciting day of the year for the cops in the wealthy L.A. beach town of Manhattan Beach, Hilary Duff’s most devoted stalker was arrested at a Residence Inn on Friday. Maksim Miakovsky, an 18-year-old Russian emigrant, was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking.

A private investigator from Sunset Protective Services had contacted Miakovsky earlier in the day, and he’d stated he intended to kill Duff on Sunday, at an event she planned to attend. According to the court papers Duff filed last month, Miakovsky had come to the U.S. “for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff.” Apparently, when that failed, he decided to kill her instead. It’s always so refreshing to see people coming to America in passionate pursuit of a dream. We take it for granted sometimes.

ARE YOU WATCHING HOUSE OF CARTERS? Because these Carter boys are not going to stop humiliating themselves in the press until you do, and I don’t know how much more of it I can take. As if Hilary Duff hasn’t had a hard enough month, Aaron Carter announces that he cheated on her toward the end of their relationship. “She was my first love,” he says, “and, actually, I never cheated on her…until towards the end.”

The admission comes just a couple weeks after Aaron’s brother Nick spoke to the press about cheating on former girlfriend Paris Hilton and losing his virginity to an infamous pedophile. Please, guys, please. Make it stop.

Disney’s teen queen, Hilary Duff, and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden, stated in court documents filed Thursday that they fear for their lives after being stalked by two men during the past six weeks. The men in question are Max, a 19-year-old immigrant from Russia, and his “roommate,” David Joseph Klein, age 50. See? All the real crazies go by three names.

According to the documents, Max has stated that he intends to purchase a weapon, and “has threatened to kill himself and to engage in dramatic actions.” He allegedly emigrated from Russia to the U.S. two years ago for the sole purpose of being Hilary Duff’s boyfriend (they issue visas for that?) and said that he would “remove enemies” in his path — specifically Duff’s current boyfriend, Madden. Duff and Madden are requesting that the two hopeless romantics stay at least 100 feet from them and their family members.

Update: I just read that Hilary Duff will soon be a SIMS character. Maybe Max can just buy the game and “play in bed” with the Hilary character. Or, more likely, send her through a door into an empty room, pause the game, delete the door and replace it with a wall, unpause, and leave her in there to starve. Not that we used to do that a lot in college.
