As we wait for the outcome of the Max Mosley legal action against the News of the World another exciting battle being fought by a public figure to clear a valued name comes to view. Like Max Mosley, it's a figure whose family has been in the press for years. Have you guessed? It's Coco Sumner, the daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler and she has taken umbrage at an article ppublished in a free London evening paper. The allegations - strongly denied by Miss Sumner - are that she and Pete Doherty are in a relationship.
While obviously more than happy to take her word for it, the fact that she sees this as not just an invasion of her privacy (like Mad Max) but also defamatory is eye catching. Is this the ultimate celebrity insult?
