Berry, Husband Sue Over Star Story
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actress Halle Berry and her musician husband, Eric Benet, have sued the Star tabloid for libel for describing their marriage as ``on the rocks.''
The couple, who wed in January, also accused the tabloid of invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress in the lawsuit filed in Superior Court on Wednesday. It seeks $5 million in damages.
In a statement, the couple said the article published last week was ``offensive and baseless'' and that falsehoods contained in it included statements that Benet had ``moved out of Halle's house for a few days'' with their child and ``was looking for a condo of his own.''
Officials with the Lantana, Fla.-based Star did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
**FYI: When I posted this last night, it was not with the intent to shut people up about Halle or Eric but just to pass along "correct" information. ***
