If you are in the UK, you may or may not be aware of the huge "Leveson Inquiry" that is currently in session. For people not aware, the British Press were hit with several scandals over the past year to do with phone hacking and unlawful intrusion. Charlotte Church has been a victim of press bullying over the past 10 years and she gave evidence at this Inquiry two Monday's ago. You can watch Charlotte's evidence here: www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/hearing/2011-11-28pm/There's also a link to the transcript and her full statement. Some other witnesses in this Inquiry include: Steve Coogan Nick Davies Bob Dowler Sally Dowler Hugh Grant Ian Hurst Gerry McCann Kate McCann Sienna Miller JK Rowling

Yep Charlotte has had a very difficult time with the british press because she is successful and has had a few drunken nights out. Since she changed from classical crossover to pop I stopped following her, however, she has been treated badly. For those who don't know Leveson is investigating criminal phone hacking of voice mails.

Oh, the phone hacking scandals with Murdoch's paper have been common knowledge over here for anyone who actually watches the news. Howie Mandel even got an obtuse dig onto Piers Morgan about it during an AGT broadcast this year. I caught the reference, and I'm sure Sharon did, too.
Hope the paparazzi get what is coming to them. Overzealous does not even begin to cover their misbehavior.
