  Litigation

Rival magazine OK! had an exclusive contract for pictures of the wedding, and also sued Hello!. In November 2003, OK! was awarded £1,033,156 in damages, and Jones and Douglas received £14,600.
• 2006 – Hello!, which secured the British rights to the first images of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's newborn daughter, launched legal action with People against two websites that printed a leaked exclusive shot of the couple with their new baby daughter. The leaked photo, which contains Hello! magazine's logo, shows a headline which reads: "The biggest exclusive of the year. Angelina and Brad with their new Baby Shiloh Nouvel". People magazine reportedly paid more than US$4 million to secure the American rights.
