Moore settles privacy claim

A legal battle between the actress Demi Moore and an Australian magazine over photos it published of the star's private post-Oscars party has been settled out of court.

Moore sued Pacific Magazines, the publisher of New Idea, for printing pictures taken at a 2008 party that show herself, her daughter Rumer Willis, and other stars.

Moore lodged a claim in 2008 stating she made an agreement with an event organiser that gave her copyright of the photos.

A trial was to start in Melbourne Federal Court yesterday, but the judge said the parties had reached a settlement. The terms were not disclosed.
