Ryan Seacrest Gets Restraining Order
A judge has granted a civil restraining order against a man accused of stalking "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest.
The order issued Tuesday requires Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. to stay 100 yards away from the radio and television personality. A criminal court judge granted a similar order against Uzomah earlier this month.

The 25-year-old remains in a Los Angeles jail, charged with felony stalking. He was arrested outside Seacrest's workplace on Oct. 30, just weeks after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in Orange County, Calif., stemming from an incident with Seacrest's bodyguard after an event.
Seacrest did not attend the court hearing in Los Angeles.
Uzomah has pleaded not guilty to stalking Seacrest.
