AMANDA SWISTEN - AMANDA SWISTEN STALKED

Movie beauty AMANDA SWISTEN has started to pack a pistol after a deranged fan began stalking her.

The gorgeous AMERICAN WEDDING star claims the fan's antics turned her life into a nightmare after he tracked down her home address on the Internet.

The 24-year-old says, "I had a stalker, and I'm glad I've gotten that out of the way.

"He tracked me down through my website. He wouldn't leave me alone.

"It was very frightening. Eventually, the police had to get involved."

And so Amanda now carries a gun with her - and insists she isn't afraid to use it.

She adds, "I'm a bad girl. I can hold my own. I grew up learning how to use a gun."
