Tyra Banks has been granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker she claims has a history of mental illness.

Marten Williams, Jr. has supposedly “targeted and harassed and stalked” the supermodel and her family since 2006.

The order lasts until October 28, court officials confirm to Gossip Cop.

A hearing at that time will determine whether it then becomes permanent.

According to court documents, Banks claims that Williams has a history of bizarre and unstable behavior, including a belief that he “killed George Bush Jr.”

Williams allegedly left “frightening letters and items” at Banks’ Beverly Hills home, and indicated that he and the TV star were set to wed on January 8, 2011.

Earlier this month, Williams was arrested for trespassing on the “America’s Next Top Model” host’s property and was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Demi Moore was in Gossip Cop a couple of times this week. First, it was inaccurately reported that she was going to be in a few episodes of “The Beautiful Life,” produced by her husband Ashton Kutcher. But much more notably, “The G.I. Jane” star was in a battle with Perez “Scoop” Hilton.

Moore had had enough of Perez making lewd remarks about her 15-year-old daughter Tallulah. She rightfully objected to Perez tweeting out a photo of Tallulah’s partially exposed breasts with the comment “slut,” and a post in which the bad blogger showed a photo of the minor, hugging her dad Bruce Willis, with the word “ass” written over an area to point out where her jean shorts inadvertently rode up a little to expose a bit of her behind. Moore noted the inappropriateness when she tweeted, “Let me ask all of you, what is it called when someone is telling people to look and focus on a child’s ‘boobs & ass’ while providing photos?” Gossip Cop felt the only “ass” in this battle was Pervy Perez.

Actually Perez was (predictably) wrong about a bunch of things this week. He began the week by floating the rumor that Tyra Banks was engaged, based on a photo of her wearing a ring. Gossip Cop shot it down, explaining it was simply her old high school ring that the TV hostess often wears. Perez also picked up from dubious sources and reported as fact a ludicrous story about Madonna training for a 6-day, 151- mile marathon in Morocco. If you recall it was not only a tall tale that was proven false by Gossip Cop, but it was also one we debunked a loooong time ago. Again Perez was wrong and late, and not “late” as in the “late Fidel Castro.” Ha!

On the subject of Madonna, there were a few stories that were incorrect about her this week. One had Justin Timberlake jetting off to Israel to perform at her concerts. But Gossip Cop found the Israel story was not real.  We did, however, accurately report that Madonna and boyfriend Jesus Luz went to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Jerusalem home to light Sabbath candles. And despite being with Luz, In Touch reported that now that Sean Penn is getting divorced, he and Madonna will get back together. Totally false.

In the Random Rumor cop needed section, Gossip Cop called Chris Brown out on his faulty memory. He claimed on “Larry King Live” that he didn’t remember beating Rihanna, but Gossip Cop reminded him that he knew exactly what he did since he told People magazine, “I went to my mom on the same night and told [her] what happened and broke down.” We also pointed out how off Radar was when it said Salma Hayek had thrown a fit at the Chateau Marmont because its restaurant wouldn’t serve her without a reservation. While it’s true she was at the Chateau Marmont after having had a birthday dinner, she did not have a tantrum of any sort when she met her family and friends for drinks at the famed hotel. Radar has since pulled down its false report.

The Star had a series of questionable articles. First, its cover said that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were in a “loveless” marriage, and that the relationship “has been a lie from the get-go!” The source for the (mis)information was an alleged pal of McDermott who said on the record, “There is no question Dean is with Tori for the money and the fame,” and that their marriage is rooted in Dean’s desperation for the spotlight. Not only did her rep say the story wasn’t true, but Tori herself even tweeted, “R they kiddin? DON’T believe. Uggh. Hate tabloid lies!” We didn’t believe that Star story or the one that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is talking to divorce lawyers after she suspected that her rocker husband Pete Wentz was cheating on her. Ashlee has since tweeted about missing her husband and son Bronx, and even a rep for the couple dismissed talk of a divorce as “absolutely not true.”

We reported as fact details of Selena Gomez’s trip to Ghana as a new UNICEF Ambassador. Gomez’s rep told Gossip Cop that the young star was in Africa “looking at UNICEF child survival programs,” and in the future would be “involved in educating, advocating, and fundraising” for UNICEF.”

Another true story was Russell Crowe beating a gossip columnist. The Daily Telegraph mocked Crowe for a fitness regimen of “smokes and fatty foods” after the Oscar winner was pictured having snacks and a cigarette during a break from biking. So he challenged a gossip columnist to a bicycle race through Sydney, which he easily won.

Fellow Aussie star Nicole Kidman was the target of an old rumor. In Touch reported Kidman’s kids Connor and Isabella no longer call her “mom,” and instead simply call her “Nicole.” These days, the weekly claimed, they call Katie Holmes “mom.” Once again In Touch was out of touch.

Gawker got it wrong and wrong in a piece titled, “Cosmetics Company Uses Kristin Davis and Then Kicks Her Out.” The story began, “Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories, hired Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis to help their image. Because she worked with the disputed company, she got the boot from human rights group Oxfam International. Now Ahava is giving her the heave-ho too!” It was not true that the “Sex and the City” star was fired from the Palestinian-leaning Oxfam International, with whom she still has a relationship nor was it accurate that she was let go by the Israeli company Ahava. Rather, her contract with the beauty goods company expired.  Gawker has since updated its site to reflect its two mistakes.

And Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart, the subjects of a recently leaked naked video, were accused in the National Enquirer of doing lines of cocaine at a Hollywood Hills party last year. The only lines there were the lines fed by a so-called source. A rep for the two stars told Gossip Cop it was a “bunch of lies. If it happened, where are the photos?”

Rest assured, Gossip Cop is on the beat this week patrolling the blogs, magazines, and TV shows so that you get the truth, and nothing but the truth.

It’s funny, since Perez Hilton doesn’t know anything, he just asks questions, which Gossip Cop then has to answer.

His latest query is whether Tyra Banks is engaged. He observes, “Tyra Banks and longtime boyfriend, businessman John Utendahl, went out to lunch on Saturday at the Little Next Door in Los Angeles, where TyTy was seen sporting a big ol’ rock on her left ring finger!”

Perez then says he hopes it’s true that she’s engaged, and adds, “Tyra would make the most outrageous bridezilla!!!!”

Two things: First, real journalists don’t “hope” their stories are true — they know it. And second, instead of ending his posts with obnoxious statements like she “would make the most outrageous bridezilla,” Perez should just write, “And for actual facts, check out Gossip Cop.”

That said, Tyra’s people confirmed to Gossip Cop that “Tyra is not engaged — it’s her high school ring and she wears it almost every day.”

Any other questions, Perez?
