NEWSPAPER WINS APPEAL OF MODEL'S PRIVACY VERDICT

Three appeals-court judges ruled Monday in London that a British newspaper
was justified in publishing a photo of Naomi Campbell leaving a drug
addiction center, as the model had lied to the news media about her drug
problems.

Earlier this year, a High Court judge ordered the Daily Mirror tabloid to
pay Campbell $5,425 in damages and meet her court costs, reportedly
$310,000, after he ruled the newspaper had breached her right to privacy.
Lord Phillips, the senior civil judge in England, said Campbell had told
reporters she did not use stimulants or tranquilizers. "She had, in fact,
become addicted to drugs," Phillips said.
