So, remember back in Jan/Feb when we told you guys that Katie Holmes was super pissed about The Star Magazine tabloid had an issue with a cover that said:
"ADDICTION NIGHTMARE - Katie DRUG SHOCKER! The real reason she can’t leave Tom.”
To us, that kinda sounds like they're hinting that she's addicted to Tom like he's a drug, but we digress… ha!
Anyway, she was super pissed to the tune of a $50 Million dollar lawsuit against the magazine and the company that owns it.
Well, it must have scared them shizzless, because everyone has settled. The Star even ran a new front page AND article:
"Star Apologizes to Katie Homes."
"Star did not intend to suggest that Ms. Holmes was a drug addict or was undergoing treatment for a drug addiction. Star apologizes to Ms. Holmes for any misperception and will be making a substantial donation to charity on Ms' Holmes behalf for any harm that we may have caused."
Well, it was good of them to print that, but, we don't understand how they could possibly NOT intend that. There is seriously no logical scenario where that headline wasn't intended to get people to read because they were tricked into thinking that Katie was druggin' it up!
Katie ended up accepting the apology and the donation as the settlement:
"I'm pleased that this lawsuit could be resolved amicably and accept American Media's apology."
Sounds like a victory to us, Katie! We're glad you stood up for your rep like that. It probably wouldn't have been the most pleasant of a conversation if Suri had found that magazine when she was 17
