Recently, I asked whether getting your lawyers to claim it was libel to say you're in a relationship with Pete Doherty was the greatest celebrity insult. Consenus (in the shape of about one comment) was that it is. It's also, however, effective, and today's Evening Standard carried the following correction:
"My report on Coco Sumner (15 July) suggested she was Pete Doherty's girlfriend and he had been lounging about in her tent at Glastonbury. In fact, we accept Coco Sumner and Pete Doherty are not in a romantic relationship and did not meet at Glastonbury. We apologise for the error."
So that's sorted then. But is it time for a top ten celebrity insults? With 10 being libel claims for dating rumours, what's 9?
