Farrell settles sex-tape dispute

Colin Farrell can breathe easy -- his private parts will remain out of public view.

Farrell and ex-girlfriend Nicole Narain reached an amicable settlement in their legal battle over a sex tape they filmed three years ago, her attorney said. He declined to provide details.

Farrell, star of “Alexander” and “The New World,” sued Narain and several others in July to halt distribution of the 14-minute tape, citing damage to his career. Narain, a 2002 Playboy Playmate, contended that she had the right to reproduce, market and distribute the tape under federal copyright law.
