Kirsten Dunst has been granted a three-year restraining order against the Frenchman who allegedly flew to Hollywood more than five times in hopes of contacting the star.

A judge today extended Dunst’s temporary protection order against 51-year-old Jean Christophe Prudhon, whom she claims phoned her directly, sent her dozens of letters, and admitted to sitting outside her house in his car on 10 different occasions.

In one of the letters submitted to the court, Prudhon told the Spider-Man star he sold his home in France so he could travel to Los Angeles to see her.

Dunst was not present at the proceedings, but wrote in a sworn declaration that she was scared of Prudhon after he recently tried to contact her at her mother’s home.

The three-year restraining order also covers Dunst’s mother.

Shortly after Emma Stone began her monologue on “Saturday Night Live,” it got interrupted by Andy Samberg, dressed like Spider-man and hanging upside.

Stone, of course, stars in the upcoming Spider-man reboot as Peter Parker’s first love, Gwen Stacy.

The actress tried to explain to Samberg that the film had already completed shooting with Andrew Garfield, but Samberg insisted on rehearsing “lines” from the film.

Eventually, Garfield had to come onstage with Stone and settle everything.

Check out the video below, and tell us what you think.

Andrew Garfield may have cheated on his rumored girlfriend Emma Stone, reports Star magazine, which claims the Spider-Man actor “was caught getting frisky with his Social Network co-star Rashida Jones” at Animal restaurant on October 26.

An alleged “eyewitness” at the L.A. eatery tells the mag, “I was so surprised to see them out together and sitting so close to each other,” adding, “There was some serious flirting going on.”

The “insider” claims Garfield was “hanging on Rashida’s every word” during the meal, and was later spotted “tenderly resting his hand on the small of her back.”

So was this supposed eyewitness sitting in between them during dinner?

Please.

In any case, a friend of Jones tells Gossip Cop she and Garfield “are just friends.”

Star gets served once again.

Cliff Robertson, whose film career spanned from the 1950s until just a few years ago, has died of natural causes.

The stage, TV and film actor won an Academy Award in 1968 for his portrayal of a mentally disabled man in Charly.

Younger audiences would remember Robertson as Peter Parker’s kind Uncle Ben in the first three Spider-Man movies.

Notably, Robertson played a young John F. Kennedy in the World War II film, PT 109, which came out while Kennedy was in the White House.

Robertson, whose birthday was yesterday, was 88.

Audiences are about to go ape for James Franco.

The Spider-man and Pineapple Express actor is reportedly set to star in Rise of the Apes, a prequel to the Planet of the Apes series.

But Franco won’t be playing a hunky monkey.

He’s in talks to play a scientist in contemporary San Francisco, where a genetic engineering experiment leads to intelligent apes and their showdown with humans.

It’s expected to open in summer 2011.

Planet of the Apes was last visited in Tim Burton‘s 2001 remake of the 1960s original.

The busy Franco also stars as Aron Ralston in the upcoming 127 Hours, about a real-life hiker forced to cut off his own arm to survive a climbing accident.

Spidey is going the Avatar route.

A new actor for the title role has yet to be tapped. Marc Webb is set to direct.

Thanks to his sister site, CocoPerez, Perez Hilton now has twice the opportunity to get stories wrong.

And living up to that expectation, in a piece titled, “Agy’s Got A New Boyfriend!” Perez writes that “Agyness Deyn has broke her rock star loving habit and moved on to actor and stoner James Franco.”

(In all fairness, Perez was among several lazy cutter-and-pasters, including Hollyscoop, who ran this story.)

Anyway, according to Perez, “The Brit supermodel has been getting cozy with the actor after meeting at a New York Cinema Society party in December. The two flirted throughout the night and eventually traded phone numbers.”

Really?

Quoting one of his non-traceable sources, Perez adds,  ”Agyness and James have met since and are very keen on each other. There is a real connection.”

Really?

Nope.

A mutual friend of Franco and Gossip Cop first tipped us off to the inaccuracy, stating rather strongly that the “Spider-Man” star is NOT dseeing Deyn. And a rep for Franco further confirmed it by saying, “This is not true. He met her briefly at the ‘Howl’ screening.”

In fact, far from dating Deyn, Franco just said “hi” to her and not much else.

Oops.

“Lord of the spins,” reads the headline of a story that claims, “Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire is to star in The Hobbit.”

According to a piece in the UK newspaper, The Sun, which was picked up around the world, Maguire “will play the lead role of Bilbo Baggins in the blockbuster movie version of JRR Tolkein’s classic book,” and “signed up after quitting the Spider-Man franchise.”

The tab breathlessly reports that a source told The Sun that “The Hobbit” team “is over the moon. Tobey is not only one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, he is also one of the best actors.”

Albeit flattering, the Hobbit story is short on facts.

Maguire is not starring in the film. His rep confirmed to Gossip Cop that the story is “false.”

The aptly named site, OhNoTheyDidnt – actually did!

Today, the blog published as FACT an old April Fool’s Day JOKE that Robert Pattinson was replacing Tobey Maguire in “Spider-Man.”

[Catch your breath from laughter]

According to OhNoTheyDidnt, “The news dropped like a bombshell early this morning that Sony Pictures has signed Robert Pattinson (Twilight) to replace Tobey Maguire in the titular role in Spider-Man 4.”

Wait, it gets more ridiculous.

The site wrote, “In the official press release, [the Sony chairman] announced that Pattinson would not only be assuming the role of Peter Parker and his alter-ego, Spider-Man, in Spider-Man 4, but also in Spider-Man 5 and in a spin-off film to be announced at a later date.”

And OhNoTheyDidnt even “quoted” the film series’ director Sam Raimi as saying, “Decisions like these are always difficult. I know the fans liked Tobey — and I greatly enjoyed working with him – but Robert is the future of the franchise.”

Oh no!!!

Trust us, the site wasn’t joking. Those clowns even Tweeted out the story. (And then had their followers spam us.)

Gossip Cop would like to wish OhNoTheyDidnt a belated Merry Christmas and an even more belated April Fools!

Since reporting hasn’t worked too well for Star, maybe casting stars in movies will work better.

In the current issue of the tabloid, it’s claimed that Kirsten Dunst‘s Mary Jane character is “getting iced” in the next “Spider-Man” movie, starring Tobey Maguire, and “Anne Hathaway is stepping in.”

According to one of Star‘s sources, “Anne will take over as [Maguire's character's] new love interest for this project and for Spider-man 5 and 6, which are being written now.” The mag adds Maguire and Hathaway are “thrilled.”

Not so fast.

Hathaway’s rep tells Gossip Cop, “It’s not accurate – there is no deal in place for her to be in [Spider-Man 4].” In fact, we’re told the “script is not ready” and until it’s completed there won’t be any negotiations with Hathaway.

There’s been a flurry of speculation about who will play the Black Cat in the highly anticipated “Spider-Man 4.” Names have included Rachel McAdams (debunked) and Julia Stiles among others.

The latest actress rumored to be up for the role? Anne Hathaway.

Hathaways’s name has been all over the Internet today as the leading lady producers want to don the latex. Not that there’s anything to back up the speculation, of course, just as there wasn’t with McAdams, Stiles, Romola Garai, or any other possible choices.

A representative for Hathaway told Gossip Cop his client hasn’t seen a script (because there isn’t one), and that it’s way too premature to read anything into casting reports.

Might Hathaway be the Black Cat? Or take another role? Sure. But most of these “Spider-Man” rumors will wind up cobwebbed and forgotten long before shooting actually begins.

“Rachel McAdams Swings Into Spider-Man 4,” declares Perez Hilton in the headline of one of his latest posts.

He then backtracks in the opening line that she’s “being considered for the role of the new villainess.” And in the following sentence, he writes affirmatively, “Rachel will be playing the Black Cat, a dangerous foe to Spider-man, while also being a love interest for Peter Parker.”

Forget about how he goes back and forth between how she’s “being considered” and how she “will be” in “Spider-Man 4.” Actually, it doesn’t even matter because Hilton, who’s so afraid of Gossip Cop that he blocked us on Twitter, is wrong on either account. She’s neither “being considered” nor “will be” the villainess in the film. She’s not doing “Spider-Man 4” at all. Her rep even told Gossip Cop his account is “completely false.”

As an aside, Perez wrote, McAdam’s character “falls in love with Peter Parker, and uncovers his true identity. Her father then dies, and Hardy becomes a threat to Peter Parker.” Huh? Who’s Hardy?

Oh, “Cop Blocker” Hilton was in such a hurry to cut and paste this inaccurate story that when he lifted it from the movie site IMDB, he neglected to include that the villainess’ name is reportedly Felicia Hardy.

What a tangled web Hilton has again weaved for himself.
