The judge in the Audrina Patridge case just said the evidence was "quite disturbing" and granted a 3-year restraining order against her alleged stalker.

The judge said, "It's unfortunate that people who pursue careers in the public have to deal with these people," referring to Zachary Loring.

Audrina read one of the creepy poems Loring sent to her on the stand. The poem was titled "Damzel."

The restraining order was granted on behalf of Audrina and her brother, Mark, who lives with her.

Audrina Patridge just showed up in L.A. court today to ask a judge for a permanent restraining order against her alleged stalker -- Zachary Loring.

Patridge won a temporary restraining order earlier this month, but it's about to expire. We're in court ... so stay tuned.

A few uninvited vermin had Whitney Port running for the door of her own apartment -- and no, we're not talking about a visit from Speidi.

TMZ has learned "The City" star put herself up in two different swanky NYC hotels this week after she and BFF Joanna Scapa found an unwelcome party of mice creepin' around her pad.

We're told the gals didn't even bother to change out of their PJs -- immediately booking it to the Cooper Square Hotel while still in their jammies.

Whitney's been waiting it out there and at the nearby Bowery Hotel ever since.

She'll return home once exterminators finish doing their thing.

Audrina Patridge's alleged stalker is out of jail and free to go wherever he wants ... except, of course, for the 100 yards or so he's been ordered to stay away from Ms. Patridge.

We've learned 24-year-old Zachary Loring was released from jail yesterday, after being arrested Tuesday on two outstanding warrants.

The warrants were issued after Loring skipped out on a few anger management classes -- which he was supposed to attend following his May arrest for vandalism and disturbing the peace.

Yesterday the judge freed Loring under the condition he finishes the anger management classes within the next two months.

It sounds sweet -- a song for Audrina Patridge, proclaiming:

"I came back to let you know. I got a thing for you and I can't let go."

Turns out it's a sad song, because it's the brainchild of Audrina's alleged stalker.

A month ago, Zachary Loring approached a guy on MySpace named Boogie the Mann -- who takes requests from MySpacers and makes songs for them free of charge.

Boogie tells us Loring said he wanted a song in honor of a girl named Audrina whom he was "madly in love with." Boogie says Loring's only demand -- that the ditty was named after her.

The song was completed a week ago -- Boogie says he had been trying to get in touch with Loring to unveil his work, but the guy didn't answer his MySpace messages.

Little did Boogie know ... Loring has been busy lately. He was busted Tuesday night for two outstanding warrants -- then served with Audrina's restraining order while sitting in the pokey.

Boogie says the song is kinda "creepy" now -- check it out and see for yourself.

Audrina Patridge can relax a little bit today -- because the guy she claims has been "stalking" her was arrested last night ... and he's still in the pokey.

TMZ has learned Zachary Loring -- the dude Patridge considers a threat to her life -- was busted yesterday in Sonoma County, California on two outstanding warrants for vandalism and disturbing the peace.

It doesn't appear this arrest has anything to do with Audrina's request for a restraining order against him. Loring is being held with no bail. His court date has been set for Friday.

As TMZ first reported, Patridge filed legal documents alleging that Loring had been lingering on her property on multiple occasions -- once handing her a drawing of a woman being strangled.

UPDATE: We're told Loring was served with Audrina's restraining order while behind bars. And there's this ... we're also told Loring's mother is the one who called the cops on him last night. Ouch.

TMZ has obtained more court documents filed Thursday in L.A. County Superior Court -- in which Audrina explains why she believes an overzealous fan named Zachary Loring is a threat to her life.

In the docs, Audrina says 24-year-old Loring first came to her Los Angeles home on August 26 and said he was there to deliver wine. But when Audrina went to the door, Loring tried to hand her "a stack of photos, cards, drawings and poems he had written." Audrina claims one of the photos depicted a woman being strangled.

But it gets weirder -- Audrina claims the postcards were postdated Sept. 15 -- almost 3 weeks into the future. Patridge says "she is concerned about whether she will be injured or harmed in any way on such date."

Patridge also claims Loring brought her a beer and told her it was "from his family's brewery in Napa Valley" -- and he "wanted to see her drink it."

Audrina claims her neighbors saw Loring on her front porch 3 days later -- August 29. Patridge says she has surveillance tape showing he had been there for 7 hours and was "seen talking to himself."

In the docs, Audrina says Loring came to her home again on August 30 -- wearing a black suit and a red tie. This time, Audrina called 911.

When cops arrived, Audrina claims Loring wasn't phased and tried to approach her -- but cops stopped him in his tracks and arrested him on site for trespassing and outstanding warrants.

Loring was released from custody the very next day on $15,000 bail. Audrina told authorities she's in "great fear" of returning to her home because she believes she's being "stalked." She has since requested a restraining order against Loring.

The LAPD's threat management unit is now investigating the case.

UPDATE: Loring was arrested back in July on a knife charge -- and for defacing an electrical box in L.A.

Story developing...

TMZ has learned "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge has filed for a restraining order against an overzealous male fan.

In the documents, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Audrina's brother Mark Patridge is also requesting protection from the same man.

We're told the Patridges don't have any type of relationship with the person.

UPDATE: Audrina's lawyer tells TMZ, "The only thing we care about is Audrina's protection and safety -- LAPD's Special Victims Unit is involved in the case."

One of them never has anything interesting to say.

We're just sayin'!

But Audrina told Fox411 that her family teases her about her ad for the fast food chain, saying, "Even my family, when I go home for BBQs, they're like, 'Audrina look at this!' and they make fun of me!"

First of all, Audrina has nothing to be ashamed of -- that commercial is hot. Secondly, what else is anyone supposed to talk to Audrina about? Global warming, race relations, the economy?

As the old saying goes -- if you got it, use it to sell teriyaki burgers with grilled pineapples.

The 24-year-old "The City" star soaked her bones at a Miami hotel pool on Monday.

Believe it or not, this shot took just one take.

Conrad was on "The View" this morning, and when asked about Spencer Pratt's apology phone call to her in the season finale, she said she wasn't even on the other end of the line.
