Madonna published photographs of her wedding to Guy Ritchie

Madonna has accepted substantial undisclosed damages from the Mail on Sunday after it published photographs of her wedding to Guy Ritchie.
A staged - and rather poorly acted - fight between Lady Gaga and Madonna on Saturday Night Live has become an instant YouTube sensation.
The skit featured the two pop stars performing on stage together in similar tight-fitting outfits.
The photographs were the only ones taken at the wedding at Skibo Castle in 2000 and were kept in a photograph album by Madonna. An interior designer copied pictures from that album, Madonna's lawyer is reported to have said.
Those pictures were offered for sale to the Mail on Sunday by an intermediary in June 2008. The newspaper did not publish them until October of that year, when Madonna's divorce was announced.
PA reported that Associated Newspapers accepted that it had behaved wrongly and accepted that it had invaded her privacy and infringed her copyright.
The paper published 10 of the 27 photos that were copied from Madonna's album. It said that it had destroyed all copies of the photos in its possession.
Photographs of celebrity weddings have led to legal disputes in the past. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas won a landmark ruling in 2003 when a magazine published unauthorised pictures of their wedding on the same day as the magazine to which they had sold the right to publish their wedding pictures.
Madonna and Lady Gaga stunned America on Saturday night by staging a catfight on live TV. The two pop divas performed a synchronized dance-off, dressed in matching black lingerie and knee-high boots, as part of a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live, which was called to a halt when Madonna started pulling Gaga's wig and throttling her, yelling, "What the hell is a disco stick?" - referring to the younger star's hit.
