Colin Farrell bans internet sex tape

Colin Farrell has forced an internet site to shut down after it tried to sell explicit footage of him and ex-girlfriend Nicole Narain.

The website DirtyColin.com declared: "Colin tried to stop us from showing you this. Well, here it is anyways," but has since been shut down and the still pictures and video are no longer accessible.

Danica Smith, Farrell's publicist, released a statement saying: "Mr. Farrell will take legal action against anyone who tries to distribute this tape."

Colin sued Nicole last year, accusing her of trying to distribute the 14-minute tape through an intermediary. A lawyer for Nicole has said she never tried to profit from the tape.

The sale, distribution or display of the tape has been barred by a Superior Court Judge in Los Angeles.
