The singer Justin Timberlake accepted "substantial" damages yesterday over a newspaper story that falsely claimed he had cheated on his girlfriend, the actor Cameron Diaz.
Timberlake, 24, took legal action against the News of the World after it published allegations that he had twice had sex with Lucy Clarkson, a model and aspiring actor. His solicitor, Simon Smith, told the high court in London that the story, published in July 2004, had caused damage to his client's "personal and professional reputations".
Mr Smith said: "The newspaper now accepts that all the allegations complained of are entirely untrue and without any substance.
What's wrong with pop singers today? What do they contribute to the world if they are not prepared to indulge in promiscuity? I call it letting the side down.
