She deserved that Oscar for the Reader. As for bitter old scrawny Liz Jones from Britain - the home of the yellow-bellied press... you can't go around saying whatever you want about people and not expect to get sued. Everyone with half a brain knows that. Good for her. No one should take crap like that. I’ve always liked her and she’s a great actress. She deserved that Oscar for the Reader.

It's different with political people. The National Enquirer, one of the most despicable tabloids in print, has a pretty good track record for accuracy when they dig up dirt on politicos. They check it ten ways from Sunday before they print it, because they know if they get it wrong they will get sued out the wazoo. But celebs are fair game for any slimeball with an agenda. To Amy:

On the one hand, it IS giving more press to the Daily Mail and feeding their publicity machine. On the other hand, a celebrity ought to have some sort of method to retaliate against this sort of public verbal abuse that is nothing more than character assassination. I don't really know the libel laws in Britian, but I would assume her lawyer would have told her if she had no case at all. This, too, is a situation of ‘damned if you do/damned if you don’t’.

I think this is a nasty piece of drivel by a jealous, negative excuse for a writer. Let it go Kate. You are giving them what they want( more publicity) when you draw attention to it. I do think Kate is one of the more "normal" people in Hollywood. You don't read much about her i the tabs, she isn't out famewhoring for attention ala Kidman and Paltrow. She's probably not perfect but I can't think of anything bad to say about her.She is an excellent actress who finally got recogntion she deserved. n The British press is brutal, much worse than the Americans.

This could be a new way to drum up funds for needy causes, at the same time teaching these sleeze rags to quit printing lies. What a great idea to give the sued money to charity.

More celebs should sue. I remember an article literally calling Victoria Beckham a bobbled-headed moron who had no right to design clothes when she was such a stick. And considering I'm not a fan of Posh and I thought it was obnoxious - what about the readers who actually like her? I mean, if you don't like her clothes line then criticise her designs - but an all out attack masquerading as a supposedly informed opinion - or worse - fact; all while using that same celebs name to up the circulation of your daily, is just pathetic. Kate should sue because it seems as if they've done the same here. As for her so-called-image change. All I remember is her saying that when she was with her first husband he was always encouraging her to eat more and discouraging her from taking certain parts - meaning that she got less and less work as an actress. I think the slimming down and going blonde was simply due to the change in personal image that came with a new partner and lifestyle. Personally I believe her and don't think her particular line comes from sanctimony. She's never become stick thin she's always made sure she didn't become that way. I don't think she's a 'crybaby' at all. Half of the reason the press feels they can say any nasty thing that crosses their minds about people in the public eye is because they don't ever feel they're going to be challenged. Personally I'm tired of The Mail's baseline cattiness being passed off as 'journalism'. They can be bitchy at the watercooler but please try to step up a little from the gutter when writing for mainstream publication - all we ask for is a modicum of wit and intelligence, and if that's too much to ask let us know now because I assumed they'd want to be known as a newspaper, not a rag.
