Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers has agreed to shell out restitution payments to 36 victims, including actor Jude Law, in the phone-hacking scandal that also saw Murdoch’s News of the World shut down last July after 168 years in circulation.

The A-lister Law is getting about $200,000 for 16 articles published between 2003 until 2006 that were derived by hacking.

Law said in a statement that Murdoch's publications were "prepared to do anything to sell their newspapers and to make money, irrespective of the impact it had on people's lives. ... I changed my phones, I had my house swept for bugs but still the information kept being published. I started to become distrustful of people close to me.

Sienna Miller has opened up for the first time about being the victim of hacking.

The actress is the latest in a long line of celebrities who have had their privacy invaded.

Just this week, Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis had pictures and text messages from their cell phones leaked online.

But private phone calls and voicemail messages of Sienna’s came to light when she was hacked by the British tabloid News of the World.

In an interview with NBC’s Today Show which aired Thursday morning, Sienna said the whole scandal made her very suspicious of even her friends and family and didn’t know who she could trust.

Call it Sarah Ferguson’s blunder down under.

A livid Fergie stormed off the set of the Australian 60 Minutes after reporter Michael Usher rehashed her News of the World scandal, showing footage of the May 2010 fiasco in which she tried to sell business access to Prince Andrew to a reporter from the now-defunct publication.

In a preview of what Channel Nine (the network that airs the program) called "the weirdest interview you will ever see," Fergie is clearly upset and irritated at the line of questioning, at one point commanding Usher to "Delete that bit!"

The man at the center of the hacking scandal, which has rocked Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, has claimed that he was instructed to do so by his bosses at The News Of The World.

Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire -- who was jailed in 2007 after he admitted hacking phones to provide information for the now defunct newspaper -- has broken his silence on the scandal.

The scandal which has engulfed Rupert Murdoch's media empire took a new twist Thursday after it emerged that the mother of another child murder victim may have had her phone hacked into.

And to make matters worse Sara Payne had been used as a figurehead by the now defunct News Of  The World newspaper to champion their child protection campaign.

The newspaper used the case of tragic 8-year-old Sarah Payne, who was murdered by paedophile Roy Whiting, in 2000 to pressure the UK government to change the law concerning sex offenders.

Kate Middleton and her family are the latest high profile names to be dragged into the British phone hacking scandal.

Kate and her new husband Prince William, officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been contacted by the police investigating the ever-expanding News of the World phone hacking scandal, The Telegraph is reporting Sunday.

During the original investigation into the paper’s activity in 2005, Prince William, Prince Harry and three of their close aides were known to have been targeted. The investigation began and ended with them.

In light of the newer allegations which resulted in the closing of the 168 year-old London tabloid, investigators are concerned that the entire Middleton family may also have been hacked.

Guy Pelly, one of William and Henry's closest friends, filed a law suit against the News Of The World earlier this month alleging he was also hacked.

The scandal has resulted in several News of the World executives being arrested, and Rupert Murdoch, whose worldwide media empire owned the paper, being hauled before Parliament.

Hacking around the royals was much "more widespread than was known at the time [2005] and it involved a lot more people and a lot more hacking at all levels," a source close to the investigation told The Telegraph.

"They reached out and targeted as many people as they could in that world. If they've targeted Prince William and Prince Harry, you can assume that they targeted their friends and immediate family."  Like the Middletons.
