Will Smith wins libel suit for his "Hitler" comment
good for him. The headline in the story totally misrepresented what he said.

LONDON (Feb. 22) - Will Smith won an apology and undisclosed damages in a London court on Friday over a false claim that he had described World War Two Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as a "good person."

The Oscar-nominated star, one of the world's most popular and highly paid actors, was left deeply distressed and acutely embarrassed over the wrong story published by an entertainment newswire service, the High Court heard.
