The tabloid will tell you they did no hacking, but were provided the contents of the phone of the A list actor by someone who was concerned for the actor. I actually think it was someone close to an actress who knew the way to do it.
An out of control fight a few weeks ago between this A- list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee and her foreign born A-/B+ list mostly movie actor husband who surprisingly has not been nominated for an Oscar or Golden Globe caused the actress to throw her wedding ring at her husband while they were outside a theatre.
Last week I heard from an old friend that told me that one of his former tabloid favorites was back at it again. And by back at it again, I mean cheating. This time on her husband. When I say tabloid favorite, she was always one of his favorites, but he never was able to publish much about her because she would get a story killed quickly. Usually it is because she was or had been having sex with various reporters or editors at the tabloids. It is how she has managed to play around for a decade and be a serial cheater but get away with it.
