Tired of "fictional articles about my private life," Hugh Grant won libel damages from a London tabloid publisher.

Australian Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews has refused to allow rapper and ex-felon Snoop Dogg into Oz. "He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country," Andrews told local radio.
