Lady Gaga's sex accessory

Lady Gaga says condoms are her favourite accessory.

The fashion-forward singer - who is known for sporting a series of bizarre hats, gloves and shoes - was honoured with a Stylemaker award at the 13th annual Accessories Council Exchange (ACE) Awards on Monday (02.11.09) and used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to promote safe sex.

Accepting the award from designer Marc Jacobs, she said: "I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom."

The outspoken singer's fashion outlook is in contrast to her musical attitude, after she recently said song writing was like "mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex."

She explained: "Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best.

"When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time."

Nicole Richie granted order

Nicole Richie has been granted a temporary restraining order against two paparazzi who harass her "on a daily basis."

The 28-year-old socialite - who was involved in a car accident last month when two photographers, Eduardo Arrivebene and Ivon Miguel, crashed into her vehicle - said they had caused her "severe emotional distress."

A statement filed by Nicole - who is dating Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden - claimed the two photographers would "scream at me in an attempt to get my reaction, scare me, follow me, chase me in their vehicle."

Nicole added: "I am fearful that their continued presence may cause yet another accident, this time with my infant children in the vehicle."

The two men have been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Nicole and her two children, Harlow, 21 months, and Sparrow, six weeks.

A Los Angeles judge issued the temporary order on Friday (30.10.09) and a further hearing on November 16 will determine whether the instruction will be made permanent.

Following last month's accident, Eduardo, who was driving the car which hit Nicole's, was arrested for driving without a license. He was released on $1,225 bail.

"Some people are saying it is creepy - but they don't know my fans. My fans love my hair and they want my hair."
