Austin Powers star Verne Troyer says he's "very pleased" after a court ordered his alleged sex tape be removed from the internet.
The diminutive actor filed a $20 million lawsuit against TMZ.com on Friday, accusing the site of violating his rights by publishing and airing extracts from the saucy film.
The website was forced to pull off a 25-second film clip on Friday evening after a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order that had been requested by Troyer's attorneys.
U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled Troyer's motion "demonstrated that he will suffer irreparable harm to his reputation" if the tape was distributed.
And Troyer's attorney, Tracy Rane, said Troyer is "very pleased" by the ruling.
A spokesman for Troyer adds, "Mr. Troyer is extremely distraught by the recent exploitation of his private life."
Kevin Blatt, who provided TMZ.com with the tape - was named as a defendant in the suit. He claims he has not been served legal papers, but called the case "baseless".
The temporary order imposed by Gutierrez expires on 7 July.

Experts Conclude De La Hoya Pictures Were Faked
Pictures of American boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya wearing an all-in-one fishnet outfit and stiletto heels have been declared by experts to be fakes. Former stripper Milana Dravnel dropped her $25 million (?12.5 million) lawsuit against the super welterweight on Monday after experts decided the saucy snaps, which appeared online last year , were digitally altered. Dravnel had planned to sue the boxer for slander, claiming he urged her to sign a agreement that she could not prove the pictures were real. De La Hoya's lawyer Judd Burstein tells the New York Daily News, "Oscar's always claimed the photos were false. We had experts conclude they were doctored. She was facing very large damages and so she agreed to drop the case. The case would have been dismissed anyway."
