Zeta-Jones & Douglas suing Hello
Friday 17 January 2003The couple are suing Hello! magazine for millions of pounds for publishing surreptitious photographs of their wedding in New York in November 2000.
Their move followed a landmark ruling by the Court of Appeal which for the first time recognised that celebrities have rights to privacy.
The couple had signed a £1 million deal with OK! magazine for exclusive pictures of their £1.2 million wedding - but rival Hello! hit the streets three days earlier than OK! with its own exclusive photographs of the stars at their wedding in the Plaza Hotel.
The couple will claim at the trial that their private lives had been violated, causing them stress and loss of income from syndication rights.
They will say their professional careers had been damaged because the photographs published by Hello! were of poor quality.

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
