    I like to think she didn't press charges because the voicemails were from her ex-hubby, TV actor / erstwhile hardman Ross Kemp. She once spent a night in the cells for allegedly roughing him up, but got out without charge, so keeping schtum on these would only be fair, and far less embarrassing for her.



    In my dreams, the messages generally go like this:



    Ross: Hi honeypie! So, so sorry, but filming is going on a bit tonight, and I'm going to be an hour late getting back, my titian she-devil. Maybe you could spend the time murdering Rupes at Scrabulous? Just a thought. Please, please don't get angry, though. Step away from the kittens. Remember, it took two days to get the last one out of my ureth- BEEEEEEP!

    Oh, come on. Directive Four prevents her from taking action against any officer of News Corp or any other division of OCP.

    From The Guardian: "The payments secured secrecy over out-of-court settlements in three cases that threatened to expose evidence of Murdoch journalists using private investigators who illegally hacked into the mobile phone messages of numerous public ­figures to gain unlawful access to confidential personal data, including tax records, social security files, bank statements and itemised phone bills. Cabinet ministers, MPs, actors and sports stars were all targets of the private investigators."

    Who the hell keeps tax records, social security files, and bank statements on their cellphones? Is there a TurboTax for iPhone UK edition?

    @bens09: Well, this private investigator (Mulcaire) didn't just phone-tap. He also did things like ring up doctors, pretending to be someone and essentially blagging his way to being given confidential information.

    From the Guardian, 2007 when this first came out: "Mr Myler told the PCC that the paper had paid Mulcaire, a former Wimbledon footballer, for "legal and legitimate" work.

    This included fact gathering, suggesting strategies, credit status checks, Land Registry checks, directorship searches and analysis of businesses and individuals.

    Other activities Mulcaire carried out for the News of the World included tracing individuals from virtually no biographical details, date of birth searches, electoral roll searches and checks through databases; County Court searches and analysis of court records, surveillance, specialist crime advice and professional football knowledge."

    Also from the Guardian: "Raids by information commission investigators on private detectives' offices found the evidence: documents showing how mortgages, tax payments, bank statements and telephone records were illegally obtained."

    They didn't get all of this from listening to voicemails. It's just that voicemails were the most prominent part of the case.

    Do a search on the Guardian for Mulcaire or Coulson and you'll find out more from the court case.

    wow...a woman moves into a powerful position and instead of celebrating that you call her an abusive whore.

    @Stacy Davis: Is it not possible that a woman in power can be an abusive whore, just like a man in power can be a tyrannical dick? Just because she's a woman in power, our only option is to celebrate her?

    @Stacy Davis: You really don't know much about the media trades, do you?

    Here, being 'a cunt faced bitch' is, alternately, a term of endearment or one of respect. In either case, it's a basic professional qualification, so trust me, the slagging started way before she got herself, um, on top.

    I went to Harry's Bar during my honeymoon. It's for chubby American tourists, not fancypants jet-setting Brits. They must be nouveau.

    I used to post on a British website which suggested various headlines for the husband-slapping fracas:


    "Bint Goes Mad: Slaps Hubby" and "Oiright, Bruv?" were two I remember.


    The Brits put her behavior down to being a ginger, but I suspect her rage issues stem from the fact that her parents spelled her name wrong.


    In any case, best luck to her new marriage to the little fat guy off the Monopoly Board. Too bad Perez Hilton has already drawn fake jizz drops all over her outfit.
