Wenn/Getty Demi Moore's daughters (left to right) Scout, Tallulah, Rumer
It seems rather far-fetched, but according to a celebrity gossip site, heartbroken Demi Moore has become such a pest to her three daughters that they are considering taking out a restraining order to prevent her from contacting them.
RadarOnline says Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 18, are at 'breaking point' with their mother after a series of fights about her 'incessantly' trying to contact them following the breakdown of her marriage to Ashton Kutcher, 34.
A source – described as 'close to the family' – told the website: "Rumer, Scout and Tallulah...made it clear to her weeks ago that they do not want to talk to her right now but she is still trying to contact them.
"Demi has been calling them incessantly and emailing them, leaving them tearful messages and begging them to call her and the girls are sick of it."
Apparently, the celebrity offspring understand this is a 'really drastic measure' and it is not something they are considering lightly but they just want 'some peace and quiet', according to the site.
Earlier this month, Ghost star Demi, 49, was reportedly left 'devastated' over losing contact with the trio, whom she had during her marriage to Bruce Willis, 57.
"Demi is beside herself. She hasn't spoken to Scout, Rumer or Tallulah for weeks now, they won't return any of her calls, emails or texts," the source told Radar.
"She has returned to work and is trying to hold herself together, but this is a really tough time for her."
"Demi is angry with her daughters because Ashton has remained active in the lives of all of his step-daughters, attending concerts that they've performed in and supporting them through their mother's substance abuse troubles.
"She doesn't understand how they could stay close with Ashton after he humiliated her and she's asked them to stop talking with him but they refuse," the friend said.
"Demi can't let that go and can't get over it, so she constantly attacks the girls for staying friends with Ashton. They've had it with her over that."
However, whatever the truth of their legal desires, they would be very unlikely to succeed in getting an order against their own mother.
A legal expert explained: "You can't get a restraining order against your mum when she's trying to call you.
"If that were the case, many, many more people would all be in court."

Celebrity family feuds
- Christian Bale<p> He might be the toast of Tinseltown but Christian Bale has been embroiled in a family feud for three years. After a "deeply personal" row with his mother and sister in London, the Dark Knight actor was arrested by police. He hasn't spoken to his mother (who called the cops) or sister since.</p>
- Lindsay Lohan<p> It's little wonder Lindsay Lohan has issues. When her parents split in 2007, Lindsay claimed dad Michael had cheated on and threatened to kill mum Dina, while he has regularly questioned his ex-wife's parenting skills and released private conversations with his daughter to the media. Lindsay once called him "a lunatic" but the pair have recently reconciled.</p>
- Madonna<p> Christopher Ciccone was Madonna's brother, confidant and personal assistant for many years. Unfortunately that meant he was perfectly placed to write a tell-all book about her odd habits and ruthless nature. Madge was livid and the pair now barely speak. And Christopher did little to make amends recently when he called her penchant for younger men "creepy".</p>
- Drew Barrymore<p> Hard-partying Jaid Barrymore regularly took her daughter Drew to clubs as a young child. Drew famously went off the rails, experimenting with drugs, drinking and twice going to rehab. At the age of 13, the actress filed to be legally emancipated from her mother. She later reconciled with Jaid, saying: "I didn't want to be crippled by things that happened in the past."</p>
- Angelina Jolie<p> Ange's dad Jon Voight's divorce from Angelina Jolie's mother is thought to be at the root of the tension between the pair. They remained civil during the Tomb Raider movie but Jolie later legally dropped her father's surname, while he appeared on TV suggesting she had "serious mental problems". However, for the moment the pair have put their troubles behind them.</p>
- Jennifer Aniston<p> Jennifer Aniston fell out with her mother Nancy when the latter wrote a book about their relationship and discussed her memoir on TV. Jen subsequently refused to invite her mother when she married Brad Pitt in 2000. In fact, Nancy never knew Jennifer's husband because it wasn't until the relationship broke down five years later that these two put aside their differences.</p>
- Eminem<p> Rapper Eminem's feud with his mother Debbie Nelson is legendary. His debut single 'My Name Is', featured remarks about his mother's alleged drug use and Debbie sued him for slander. The $10m case was settled out of court but Nelson went on to publish a book about her relationship with her son. He has yet to forgive her, despite her dying wish to reconcile.</p>
- Alec Baldwin<p> Whilst in the midst of a bitter custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin shocked the showbiz world when he left a voicemail calling his 11-year-old daughter Ireland a "rude, thoughtless little pig". Rumour has it Basinger leaked the recording to the media. However, Ireland forgave her father two years later.</p>
- Macaulay Culkin<p> When child star Macaulay Culkin's parents began a bitter custody dispute, the Home Alone actor (then 15) was forced to sue for control of his finances. Two years later, Culkin's pushy father Kit finally relinquished control of his cash. Macaulay paid off his mother's considerable legal debts but wanted nothing to do with his father.</p>
- Julia Roberts<p> It was actor Eric Roberts that gave superstar Julia her first movie role. But when Julia hit the bigtime, the pair fell out. In 2001, Eric said of his sister: "Her problem is she's just too big for her panties. I got her first role for her but she's turned her back on me for years." It took 10 years of silence and the birth of Julia's twins to heal the rift but happily they are now back on speaking terms.</p>
