John Cusack, Superstar: Leatherman

Todd Campbell of Through The Looking Glass alerted me to this story earlier in the week. 
Woman arrested on suspicion of stalking Cusack 

MALIBU, California (AP) -- A woman who was ordered to stay away from John Cusack has been arrested on suspicion of stalking the actor and violating a restraining order. • Emily Leatherman taken into custody in John Cusack's neighborhood • Leatherman has a restraining order against her, must stay away from Cusack • 33-year-old woman "considered a transient in Santa Monica area" 
Sometimes I'm just stymied. 33-year old Emily Leatherman is busted when she takes a cab (or Checker chariot) to John Cusack's house and can't pay the fare (shades of Charon, ferry and fare have the same root). 

 I can't remember the last time John Cusack was in the news and he's being stalked by a 33 year-old bag lady named Emily Leather-man? 

Are they trying to make me crazy?
