Ryan Seacrest gets restraining order

LOS ANGELES -- Court records show Ryan Seacrest has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man accused of stalking the host of "American Idol."

Seacrest's attorneys obtained the stay-away order on Friday, hours after they say Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. was detained at the E! Entertainment Television headquarters in Los Angeles.

The filing claims Uzomah was carrying a knife and was trying to see the popular television and radio host.

Police refused to confirm details about the incident. Jail records reviewed Friday did not indicate 25-year-old Uzomah had been booked.
