Last but not least: A lot to wear

 Paparazzi lurk around every corner and in every bush, and nobody can defend themselves against them. Not even Heike Makatsch and her young daughter. However, Makatsch was a little too brazen in her attempts to get rich from the nasty snappers. The actress and presenter demanded the equivalent of 57,000 francs from Heinrich Bauer Verlag for the fact that two newspapers published by the publishing house had printed pictures of her and her then eight-week-old daughter walking in Berlin last year. The judges dismissed her lawsuit on Wednesday. Although the print was unlawful, it did not constitute such a serious violation of personality rights that such high damages would be justified, the judge explained. Makatsch's lawyer had argued that the images primarily violated the personal rights of the child. A settlement proposed by the judge, according to which the publisher was to pay the actress 12,000 francs and she in turn was to donate half of this to a charitable organization of her choice, failed. Makatsch now has to pay the legal costs as well as her daughter. Perhaps Makatsch should use a Michael Jackson-inspired cover-up tactic for her next child.
