Hurley's former lover to sue paper

Hollywood film producer Steve Bing is suing a British newspaper claiming he faced death threats when The Mirror urged readers to call him after he denied he fathered Elizabeth Hurley’s expected child.

In a series of articles, the paper took Bing to task over his comments questioning whether he was the father of Hurley’s child, due in April. Hurley said at the time the comments made her ‘‘deeply distraught.’’
