Law to spend £130k NOTW payout on beanie hats

HAT NEWS: Actor Jude Law has revealed that he will spend the £130,000 settlement he received from the News of the World on beanie hats.

“These inaccurate and distorted News of the World articles had profound effect on my life,” said Law.

“But thanks to the settlement I can now start to rebuild that life, through the purchase of £130 grand’s worth of hats.”

“Jude has always lived in fear of being spotted wearing the same beanie hat more than once,” said a close friend of the Sherlock Holmes star.

“And now this payout means he can buy over 3,000 beanie hats, enough to wear one a day for the next eight years.”

Law is said to be incredibly excited about the prospect of buying over 3,000 hats, and is already said to be browsing a selection on Amazon.

Other celebrities receiving damages from the NOTW include rugby star Gavin Henson, who is expected to spend his entire £40,000 settlement on Babybel.
