Dunst gets restraining order

Kirsten Dunst has won a court’s protection from a man who she says has trespassed recently at her home.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard E. Rico granted the actress’s request to order 25-year-old Christopher R. Smith to stay away from her, her personal assistant and any place they work, Associated Press reports.

Miss Dunst did not appear during Monday’s hearing. The request was granted without her attorney or witnesses having to make arguments. Mr. Smith did not attend the hearing and never responded to a temporary restraining order Miss Dunst received in November.

Miss Dunst, a co-star in three “Spider-Man” films, wrote last month that she was “quite frightened” of Mr. Smith. He was arrested last month after trespassing at her house, AP says.

Attenborough recovering

Oscar-winning British director and actor Sir Richard Attenborough was in stable condition after an accident at his home, a hospital spokesman said Saturday.

The 85-year-old director of “Gandhi” was forced to pull out of a plaque-unveiling ceremony on Thursday after suffering a fall.

“He is currently in a stable condition,” a spokesman for St. George’s Hospital in London told Agence France-Presse.

“Gandhi,” the 1982 epic biography of Mahatma Gandhi, is Mr. Attenborough’s best-known work. It won eight Oscars, including best picture and best director.

Playboy shoot for Rinna

E! Online says 45-year-old “Dancing With the Stars” finalist Lisa Rinna reportedly is planning to pose nude again for Playboy. (Her last shoot was when she was pregnant 10 years ago.)

“I’m the worst liar on the planet; I can’t lie, so … I think that could be a yes,” she told “Extra.”

Paris may still get paid

Paris Hilton didn’t lock the front door of her home before it was broken into last week, but that doesn’t mean she can’t collect on the insurance.
