A court in Orange County, California has denied a request to expand visitation rights to TV mechanic Jesse James' ex-wife, adult film star Janine Lindemulder.

The porn star won the chance to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with her daughter by James, five-year-old Sunny, but a judge refused to expand her overnight visits with the child.

Lindemulder has weekly visitation rights with her daughter but only during daylight hours.

James and his wife Sandra Bullock won full custody of Sunny in January after Lindemulder was jailed for tax evasion.
