Jordin Sparks’ cell phone stalker hell

Jordin Sparks has a stalker.

The ‘Battlefield’ singer – who won US TV talent show ‘American Idol’ in 2007 – revealed she started getting strange phone messages after one of her friends posted her number on the internet as a joke.

She explained to Sony Ericsson’s Pocket TV: “I had the same cell phone number since seventh grade up to last summer, so a lot of people had my number. Somebody thought it would be funny to post it on MySpace. Loads of people got my number, and I had this person texting me going, ‘I know this is you. I know this is you, why don’t you answer? I know this is you, why don’t you answer? I’m going to keep calling you.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ and I had people leaving me voice messages and text messages, so in the end I changed my number.”

Jordin is not the only star who has been hounded by a stalker via text message.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor recently revealed song ‘Another Love’ on her new album is about a man who used to send her messages while she was asleep.

She said: “One of the really dancey songs on the album is all about a stalker I had. He sends me texts now and then, sometimes late at night.

"They put the whole lyrics to one of my songs in a text which was pretty unnerving and quite annoying as well. So there's a song about that.”
