Kidman crushes bug

OSCAR-WINNING Australian star Nicole Kidman won restraining orders against the photographers after a listening device was found outside her Sydney home and after a reported high-speed car chase.

Kidman said yesterday she had been a virtual prisoner in her Sydney home, fearing for her safety if she left due to the actions of two photographers staking out her harbour-side house.

Waverley Local Court ordered Jamie Fawcett, aged 43, and Ben McDonald, aged 32, not to approach Kidman at her home or go within 60 feet of her home at Darling Point.
