Katie Price has paid substantial undisclosed damages to Claire Powell after she made false allegations that her former manager had an affair with her former husband Peter Andre.

Powell filed a legal suit against Katie, who divorced Andre in October 2009, after the British celebrity made defamatory remarks on BBC One’s ‘The Graham Norton Show.’

According to Mike Brookes, Powell’s solicitor, Katie told Norton, guests Jo Brand and Jackie Collins, and 600 live audiences that his client had an affair with Andre, though Powell was engaged to the father of her child, Neville Hendricks.

Brookes told Justice David Eady at the High Court of London that BBC ”quite sensibly” edited the allegation from the broadcast but it was immediately picked up by several tabloid newspapers.

“To be accused of infidelity, with one of her long-standing and high-profile clients, was obviously very damaging and distressing for Ms Powell – the most obvious reason being that the allegation was completely untrue,” Brookes said.

He said Katie admitted that her allegation was not true, unreservedly apologised and agreed to pay her client’s legal fees and substantial compensation.

Powell had issued proceedings against Katie to clear her name and ask for damages for the "substantial distress and embarrassment" caused by the remarks, he said.

Katie’s lawyer Keith Ashby said, "She greatly regrets what has happened, and joins in the making of this statement in order to assist in setting the record straight."

Outside the court, Powell said, "I'm just glad it's been sorted.

_Anna Nicole Smith’s estate was not granted any of the $300 million she had claimed her oil tycoon husband intended to leave her after he died, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.

Initially, the ruling sided with Smith against her husband J. Howard Marshall’s son over the $1.6 billion fortune left by the oil tycoon after his death in 1995 at age 90. Smith married J. Howard the year before when she was 26.

It was a 15-year legal fight that outlived the main combatants; E. Pierce Marshall, J. Howard’s son, died in 2006 while Smith perished of a drug overdose in 2007. However, their heirs and lawyers continued the battle that included a ruling that awarded Smith $474 million.

Smith estate’s representative, Kent Richland, said he would appeal the court’s latest decision but he hasn’t decided whether to ask for another hearing or take the case back to the US Supreme Court concerning different issues.

A lawyer for the Marshall family, Eric Brunstad, said they hoped that the legal battle was over.

The appeals court panel has ruled unanimously that a jury verdict in Houston in 2001 siding with the Marshall family must be honoured over the two federal court rulings in favour of Smith.

A federal bankruptcy court initially awarded Smith $447 million, which was later reduced to $89 million but the appeals court said the award should be ignored.

Jolie’s most recent action thriller ‘Salt’ is among the most physically demanding films she has ever starred on, and the star is proud to say that she did nearly all of her stunts without using a stunt double.

”I had just had two babies, and the push to be physically strong was very welcome at the time”, said Jolie in an interview with the Entertainment Weekly magazine. ”The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it”.

Jolie met Pitt when they both starred in the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005. She still thinks that her husband is one of the best actors in the industry and would like to work with him again.

“I love working with him,” said Jolie. “He’s my favourite actor to work with, and the only complicated thing is to find the right project”.
