David Cook to Crazed Fans: Back Off!

David Cook has a message for the more zealous factions of his fan base.

The American Idol winner has apparently had several too-close encounters with his admirers, so he took to his MySpace page on Sunday to ask for a little breathing room.

In an entry titled. "ATTENTION!" Cook explains that fans' efforts to track him down on the road are, like, totally harshing his mellow.

"I have to address some behavior that has become disturbing. We pride ourselves on being accessible to you as fans, but in contrast, we do enjoy what little privacy we can muster. To that end, the efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn," Cook writes. "This relationship only works when it remains healthy for both parties, and should this behavior continue, the only thing we can do is take more preventative measures to maintain our privacy, which in turn makes us less accessible to you."

"I hope this doesn't come off as harsh," Cook adds. "I merely want to nip this in the bud so we can continue to have a great experience with all of you at the shows we have coming up. Take care and see you at the next show."

Maybe Cook should have consulted fellow AI contestant Katrina Darrell, a/k/a/ "Bikini Girl," before crafting his testy message. If he thinks over-enthusiastic fans are a problem, he could benefit from the perspective of someone whom nobody seems to like.
