Rihanna gets 3-year restraining order against obsessed fan

R&B star Rihanna's request for a permanent restraining order against Steveland Barrow, a man who broke into a house thinking it was the singer's, has been granted by the court.
According to the ruling, Barrow must keep his distance at minimum 100 yards from the 24-year-old singer for three years.
Rihanna's lawyer Miles Cooley told the court that Barrow caused Rihanna "substantial emotional distress and concern for her personal safety."
Barrow was arrested in February for breaking into a mansion near Rihanna's in Los Angeles.
The superstar's neighbours saw the man snooping around the house and confronted him. When the neighbours realized that he was an intruder, they called the police and kept him there until the officers arrived.

Barrow, who believed the house belonged to Rihanna, claimed that he was invited to Rihanna's home. He said he only wanted to give her poetry.
When the court granted the restraining order, Rihanna was busy in her gig in Detroit on March 21. She performed for 90 minutes, singing her hits such as "Love the Way You Lie Part II", "Diamonds", "Umbrella" and "All of the Lights".
