Farrell 'stalker' order extended

Farrell has said Bradford may pose "an immediate threat"

A woman who approached Irish star Colin Farrell during a TV talk show recording has been ordered to stay away from him and his family for three years.

Dessarae Bradford, 31, must remain at least 150 yards from the actor, his two-year-old son James and the child's mother, model Kim Bordenave.

The restraining order, issued in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week, expires in August 2009.

Farrell was confronted while taping The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 20 July.

Ms Bradford was seated in the audience when she approached Farrell. The actor escorted her offstage and she was removed from the premises by security guards.

The incident did not appear in the final programme.

Ms Bradford has reportedly taken legal action against Farrell on three occasions and is seeking to have the restraining order revoked.

All her actions have proved unsuccessful. In May, Farrell's publicist said he had not met Ms Bradford before the Tonight Show incident.

In his initial request for a restraining order, the actor said she "may pose an immediate threat to my well-being and the well-being of my family".
