Madonna's stalker, Grzegorz Matlok, admitted in a court hearing yesterday that he had tried on her ex-husband Guy Ritchie's clothing when he broke into her townhouse in Yorkshire, England in June of last year.

Matlok, who was arrested and not charged for the 2010 break-in, was deported to his native Poland for mental health treatment. Nevertheless, he traveled back to England in March to break into the singer's home a second time. According to prosecutor Punal Chopra, Matlok had claimed to mental health personnel that he is "entitled to live in Madonna's house because she sent him special messages."

Upon breaking into the house a second time, Matlok was discovered by film director Nathan Rissman, who was renting the adjoining home. He is currently in custody in England and will be sentenced on October 10th.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
