Teri Hatcher gets £100,000 libel payout
British tabloid quoted Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives fame: "When my van's a rockin, don't come knockin."

New Delhi: When a British tabloid charged a desperate housewife of being a negligent parent, she was furious.

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher on Saturday accepted libel damages worth ?100,000 from The Daily Sport for publishing a false report about her.

Hatcher, 41, had sued a British tabloid for libel over its claims she had "sex romps" with men in a Volkswagen van outside her Los Angeles home and neglected her 8-year-old daughter.

The Daily Sport, which published the story in July and repeated it in August, had agreed to pay "very substantial damages", print a front-page apology and promised not to repeat the allegations.

Hatcher, who has won two Golden Globe awards and has just been nominated for a third, had filed the case at the end of November, 2005.
