Kidman wins London Sun libel suit
LONDON -- Actress Nicole Kidman has won her libel case against the London Sun over claims she had an affair with actor Jude Law, reports said Wednesday. The 37-year-old actress was awarded undisclosed damages, which she reportedly will give to a charity that helps children in Romania, the London Mirror said. Her lawyer told the High Court in London: "The article implied the claimant had led Jude Law to cheat on his wife, Sadie Frost, and by her behavior caused the breakdown of their marriage." Law, 30, co-starred with Kidman in "Cold Mountain." He is divorcing Frost, 37, with whom he has four children. In its own coverage, the editors of the Sun wrote of the original article alleging she had broken the marriage: "We now accept that these allegations are untrue. We apologize to Ms. Kidman for the distress and the embarrassment caused to her. "As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Ms. Kidman damages for libel and to pay her legal costs."
