Selena Gomez stalker: She needs protection from me

The man who admits to having conversations with God about killing Disney star Selena Gomez has made a bizarre declaration -- she needs protection from him.

TMZ reports that the judge in the case against alleged stalker Thomas Brodnicki has refused to issue a restraining order against the troubled man because he has yet to appear in court to answer to the charges. Brodnicki officially refused to appear in court January 6, saying "I believe that a restraining order should be issued against me to prevent me from trying to contact Selena Gomez." He filed a sworn declaration saying he would not appear in court early next year as scheduled.

"I do not wish to object to the restraining order against me because I know it is the only thing that will make me stay away from Selena," Brodnicki said.

Brodnicki, 46, has a criminal history for stalking. Court documents allege he told his psychiatrist he was going to kill Selena.

Blair Berk, the star's lawyer, said Brodnicki told his shrink he traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles to meet Selena, visited her workplace on three separate occasions and has told people he's had 50 conversations a day with God about killing the young star.

Selena, who is the girlfriend of Canadian teen phenom Justin Bieber, says she's in "extreme fear" and believes Brodnicki will make good on his threat if he isn't stopped.
