It's a tale as old as time, or at least the dawn of the modern celebrity. An obsessed Hugh Jackman fan allegedly followed him into a small gym in the West Village of New York City, crying and declaring her love for him. She then threw a hair-filled electric razor at Jackman, who was unharmed. This all occurred around 8 AM on April 13; not your ideal morning.

The woman in question, Kathleen Thurston, was arrested for stalking. Her address was listed as a local shelter for the mentally ill. She appeared yesterday before a judge at the Manhattan Criminal Court. She's now being held on a $15,000 bond.

Jackman told radio station 1010 WINS he was shaken up, but primarily concerned for his family. He said he's seen the woman before outside of their home and his daughter's school. She's apparently also stalked Jackman's wife and told her she was going to marry the "Wolverine" star. Hurston was already on probation for stalking him at a San Francisco concert last year, after which he took out a restraining order against her. He generously told the radio show, "I just hope the woman gets the help she needs."

Jackman, 44, will soon be shooting X-Men film " Days of Future Past" in Montreal. His " The Wolverine" opens this summer.
