Ricos y famosos: Hugh Grant y la prensa sensacionalista

Hugh Grant's often been in the news.  Recently, he's been pointing out some myths the sensational newspapers like to spread.

But, lately, he's not only been news in Britain.  He's also been news in Spain.  Today, we're going to look at quite a long article about exactly what Grant feels about the "prensa amarilla".

First, the comprehension questions:
  1. Which newspaper has Grant accused of having hacked into his phone in 2007?
  2. For how long does Grant say the newspapers have followed him?
  3. What does he say happened in the mid-1990s?
  4. How many other famous witnesses have been called by the hacking inquiry?
  5. What happened in the summer as a result of the original revelations of phone-hacking?
  6. What other inquiry is currently taking place in parallel?
  7. Who has harshly criticised the investigations taking place?
Now the text itself.  And if you're still having problems understanding the full meaning, try taking a look at the Google Translate version.

¡Hasta mañana!
