Kidman Wins Damages in Perfume Suit

Nicole Kidman has accepted damages from the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph for wrongly reporting that she had breached provisions in her promotional contract for Chanel No. 5 perfume. The newspaper's "Spy" column reported last month that Kidman carried a bottle of a competitor's perfume while she was in London to promote her new film, "The Golden Compass." Kidman's lawyer, John Kelly, said she suffered considerable embarrassment and distress over the report. According to Kelly, Kidman intends to donate the damages to the United Nations Development Fund for Women.
