Libel cases as if Celebs needed the extra cash...

Ok, i believe this might be my last post. It´s been a pleasure sharing the class with you all. This one I am writing from Argentina, it is warm and sunny down here...
This one is again another case of won damages by a celebrity for libelous statements. They got too ridiculous this time. A tabloid was claiming that Teri Hatcher, from Desperate Housewifes was havinig sex in a van regularly and with random men. She has a 7 year old daugfhter and finds these accusations false and irresponsible. Another undisclosed amount has been settled with another celeb, as if they were not getting paid enough millions already...why can´t someone say I am doing that?? thou i dont think the amount of damages would be close...ha.
Anyway, the source was not revealed and the allegations were claimed unbased to be true. easy case, easy cash.
¨But when a story appeared about me, insinuating that I am an irresponsible and neglectful parent, I had to draw the line." said Teri.
If something i have learned from these cases is that most of the time celebs show that much can be said about themselves if harmless to family, but the limits are crossed when their families might be affected.
Good for them!
