Tyra Banks is expected to take the stand this week as a hulking drifter goes on trial for stalking the TV personality.

No one disputes that Brady Green tried to get close to the famous supermodel-turned-talk-show host, but his lawyer says he’s just a fan.

“She invites fans that are inspired by her show to reach out to her,” defense lawyer Sydney O’Hagen said in opening arguments at Green’s trial. “Mr. Green was a fan, albeit perhaps an overzealous fan.”

O’Hagen claims Green was simply trying to get tickets to “The Tyra Banks Show.”

Prosecutors have a different version – and cite statements made by Green that they say prove his guilt.

Besides sending unwanted flowers and love letters to Banks and ignoring orders from police to stay away from the show, Green threatened to kill an employee who refused to give him the Chelsea address of the show’s studio.

“You’re f–ing lying, I’m going to find you and slit your throat,” Green, 39, screamed into the telephone, prosecutors charge. (via)

If the stalker wanted to really freak her out he shoulda just tired to go at her wearing a Dan Marino jersey. Apparently Tyra has a phobia of dolphins. Roffle.
