Hello! owner says sorry to stars

THE owner of Hello! magazine yesterday apologised to Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas for publishing their wedding pictures without permission.

But Eduardo Sanchez told a High Court judge he thought their reaction when they gave evidence last week was "a little bit exaggerated".

Michael Tugendhat QC, who is representing the two Hollywood stars, asked Mr Sanchez about untrue details about the wedding in his magazine, which is being sued for a total of stg£2.25 million by the couple and rival magazine OK! which was granted exclusive rights to cover the wedding in November 2000.
