Brangelina not so jolly

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly suing Britain's News of the World for its erroneous report that they had separated. The paper claimed the couple had visited a divorce lawyer in December and agreed to divide up their fortune and custody of their six children. Media Guardian quotes the couple's lawyer, Keith Schilling, as saying:

"The News of the World has failed to meet our clients' reasonable demands for a retraction of and apology for these false and intrusive allegations which have now been widely republished by mainstream news outlets. We have advised them to bring proceedings, which they have now done."

Should the Australian publications that reprinted the allegations be worried?
