If you thought that pop stars lead a cozy life, rethink.

A few days back, American young sensation Miley Cyrus barely escaped what could’ve been a torrid time in her life when a man who, trying to tiptoe into her house and initially by mistake stepped onto a neighbouring property, was caught by the police. It turned out his name was Musa Danasbe Ibrahim and was a Miley C stalker.

During interrogation Mr Stalker claimed he had a date scheduled with the teenage pop singer. Obviously this is hardly convincing because no one goes on a date surreptitiously and no boyfriend strays onto his girlfriend’s neighbouring house. Only a stalker does.
