Hugh Grant Nabs Small Win in Phone-Hacking Case


He's been spearheading the celebrity fight against the tabloid phone-hackers, and today (July 20) Hugh Grant has earned a small victory for all of his hard work.

During the court hearing, a British judge granted the "Notting Hill" actor the right to see all evidence that he and his former girlfriend, Jemima Khan’s voice messages were hacked.

As part of the ever-evolving scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct "News of the World," Grant had requested that the documents illicitly collected by private investigator Glenn Mulcaire be released to him.

Back in 2007, Mulcaire spent six months behind bars after pleading guilty to intercepting phone messages of royal aids on behalf of Murdoch's media empire.
