You might remember a few months ago there was a story about Hugh Grant turning the tables on one of the NOTW phone hackers by recording a conversation he had with him. Well, Hugh's now back in the papers, having taken down the tabloid wot hacked him, and is gunning for the rest. We'd join in if he didn't mean us as well. Cheers Hugh, you bugger. It's not like we've even done anything wrong. The only phone we've ever hacked was Martin Jones' back at school, and that was to bits, cos' he kept on playing with the bloody ringtones at full volume. SERVES YOU RIGHT, JONES. YOU ONLY CALLED THE TALKING CLOCK ANYWAY.

But, that doesn't matter to Hugh. Our innocence means nothing to a man who once received a kiss explosion in a car from a streetstitute. Nope, he's tarring us all with the same brush. We've never even used the word romp. Or nookie. All seems very unfair.

'The crusade against the people who hacked my phone is just the beginning of it. I don't think I would be on a crusade if it weren't for the fact that… they were winked at by the police, and winked at by our government. 

'Although a lot of my stuff comes from personal grievance, I also am properly outraged for my country. 

'There's a culture of pure evil and... very seldom you see it, its black back breaks the surface of life, and one of those examples is the British tabloid press. 

'It goes very, very deep, a kind of atavistic rage, and that's how I felt. And pretty much everyone I've spoken to who's been hacked feels really deeply outraged and really determined to get vengeance. 

'At the moment my position is not to take legal action, because my motive in this is not money. My motive is exposing this scandal, and in some ways I feel my voice is better heard if I'm completely clean of any financial motivation.' 

'That's [Milly Dowler's phone being hacked] when the whole nation rose up in revulsion,'  

Apparently, Grant is so angry about the whole thing that he doesn't even care if he gets blacklisted by Murdoch's 20th Century Fox. That's right everyone, there's a possibility of no more r-r-r-r-rom-coms. 

'It couldn't bother me less. I don't do much acting anymore anyway, and not to work for 20th Century Fox is really the least of my worries.'

Of course all this would hold slightly more weight if it hadn't been said to People magazine, but maybe it's not the gossip that Hugh hates, it's all the other stuff. Which means we're ok, and he doesn't hate us. Whew.

Whew Grant.
