Nicole Richie has eliminated -- for the time being -- two paparazzi from her life.
TMZ reports that on Friday, lawyers for Richie successfully obtained a temporary restraining order against Eduardo "Bam Bam" Arriveben and Ivon Miguel.
Arriveben and Miguel have been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Richie, 28, her two children (daughter Harlow, 20 months and son Sparrow, 6 weeks) and her staff. (Her partner Joel Madden is not named in the suit.)

Richie's statement notes that the duo harass her "on a daily basis" and have been "stalking our home, as we try to go about living our lives."

On Oct. 6, the two photographers rear-ended Richie's Land Rover leading her to seek private medical treatment for minor injuries -- and to hire a lawyer from the firm of celebrity attorney Mark Geragos.
2009's goofiest Halloween getups!
Arriveben, the driver in the incident, was arrested for driving without a license.
The group will meet again in court in November to potentially make the restraining order permanent.

18Good for Nicole!!!!! No one deserves to be harassed especially at the extent that paps go to is ridiculous!!!!!!!!
Kaly, your really stupid!
Good, the paps should be considered stalkers...they call out the baby's name so she smiles, rude paps, BACK OFF!!!!!
The Paparazzi has rights, but they over step their bounds. Good for Nicole.
I wish I could get a restraining order against my very smelly farts.
What has this girl done but flaunt herself in front of the paps with no talent?? Getting a restraining order? LOL! Witch is clueless i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good, i like her and joel. they seem like grounded, nice people and GOOD parents. they don't get caught up in all the BS.
Why is this druggie insect still getting attention? Being Lionel Richie's daughter, being on a reality show,and popping out kids to stay out of jail for drunk driving does not make one a star. Whoever's been following her needs to get a clue. I'm sure there are REAL celebrities out there who want the attention and deserve it more than she does.
Whe one is on a celebrity website and reading celebrity tabloids, it is a bit wrong to say "You go girl" to Nicole. If everybody stopped buying these pictures, these paps would go away. Every job has its perks and its downside and this happens to be it for celebrities. They trade privacy for fame and money.

Sarah @ 4:15 - do you realize how stupid you sound writing you "will not buy any gossip magazines" on the USMagazine site? You'll just read the crap for free - that makes it all better. Get down off of your high horse before you fall and damage the two remaining brain cells you have left.
This is good news!
get over yourself whatever your name is...you are a nobody now and will soon fade!!
Good for her, it's totally unreasonable that they should be able to harass ANY one the way that celeberties are harassed and basically stalked 24/7 by these vultures. She, and everyone else, should be afforded a certain amount of privacy and be able to live their daily lives without worrying about if they or their families are going to be in danger. Princess Diana was killed by out of control paparazzi, that should have been wake up call enough, but no, it has only gotten worse. I for one will not buy any gossip magazines.
Who in God's name would want to follow Nicole Richie around? WHo is this woman, and why would anyone give a hoot about her? She does nothing, absolutely NOTHING to warrant any attention of any kind.
WHY is Nicole "famous" anyway? She hasn't done anything of worth except have two kids! Don't know why anyone would Want to stalk her or take pictures.
good for her, any one can break check and cause a rear end collision
