COLIN FARRELL - FARRELL'S EX TO RECEIVE MILLIONS IF SEX TAPE IS RELEASED

LATEST: Actor COLIN FARRELL's ex-girlfriend, former Playboy Playmate NICOLE NARAIN, will receive a $3 million (GBP1.8 million) advance payment if the sex tape the couple made together is released. The PHONE BOOTH star is suing Narain and trying to stop the release of the sex tape they made three years ago (2003) during a brief romance. According to documents posted on website thesmokinggun.com, Narain signed a deal with Internet Commerce Group (ICG) in October 2005, for a seven-figure payout to distribute the 14-minute video. The agreement guarantees Narain $100,000 (GBP59,000) whether or not the explicit video can be marketed, and also calls for her legal fees to be paid up to $60,000 (GBP35,000). Farrell is seeking general and compensatory damages, as well as an injunction prohibiting the promotion and sale of the tape. US Superior Court Judge ELIHU BERLE quashed Narain's request to have the case dismissed Monday (13MAR06) and advised her lawyers to file a response to Farrell's suit instead.
