Hugh Grant Settles Illegal Snooping Lawsuit for 'Enormous Sum'

Actor Hugh Grant settled a lawsuit against The Sun tabloid, alleging unlawful phone tapping, car bugging, and home intrusion, reluctantly accepting "an enormous sum of money" to avoid potentially crippling legal fees even if he won the case. The settlement, whose amount was not disclosed, was made in the financial interest of both parties. Grant, who vowed not to let the settlement be "hush money," plans to direct the money to groups advocating for a free and accountable press. The settlement leaves Prince Harry and others scheduled to go to trial in January.
