Lawsuit are in Fashion by Barbora Kasparova

Celebrities usually lead very complicated lives, and yet there are people in the world, who instead of making it easier for them, they make their living of bittering their lives. British rock singer and songwriter Morrissey has had a recent experience with that. British magazine New Musical Express (NME) has published an interview with him, according to which he supposedly stated that Britain is losing its identity due to the growing number of immigrants. His statements took to a milder nature, when he added: "so I'm not sitting here saying it's a terrible thing, I'm saying it's a reality and to many people it's shocking" (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2967758.ece). Why is he to sue the magazine for libel and defamation now? That is not clear enough. Is he mad that they published his words, or does he claim he never said them? His case is not an isolated one, of course. Many more celebs in Britain have sued the media, including Cameron Diaz, Naomi Campbell, Keira Knightley, and David Beckham, etc. Moreover, the figures by Sweet & Maxwell's legal information service from 2006 show, that the number of American stars suing the British media have increased, mainly because of the British court's being more favorable to the celebrity claims.
