London (AP) — Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew; British singer-songwriter James Blunt; and Israeli television psychic Uri Geller are among the latest to strike a deal with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. over phone hacking.
The three were among 17 hacking victims who settled Friday with News Corp. subsidiary News Group Newspapers over its campaign of illegal espionage, which set off a massive scandal when it was revealed in July 2011.
Others on the list include actor Hugh Grant — whose settlement was first announced in December — as well as "Doctor Who" actor Christopher Ecclestone, former government minister Geoffrey Robinson, TV presenter Jeff Brazier and singer Kerry Katona.
Murdoch's News of the World tabloid was at the center of the scandal. Prosecutors say the paper's senior management conspired to hack hundreds of victims' phones, including senior government ministers, sports stars, Hollywood royalty, and even crime victims in a bid to win scoops and boost sales.

“I knew a few weeks before the decision was made that I was out of the running.
“But I’m not disappointed. Caroline’s a wonderful presenter and Olly is my friend so I could never begrudge him.
Jeff Brazier has admitted that while he was disappointed not to have landed a job fronting this year’s Xtra Factor series, he does not hold a grudge against Olly Murs who landed the role.
The former Dancing On Ice contestant had made no secret of the fact that he was desperate to present the X Factor spinoff show on ITV2, however, last month it was announced that bosses had hired one of their own past competitors, Olly Murs, for the job alongside I’m A Celebrity Get me Out of Here Now presenter Caroline Flack.
Speaking to the Sun about the news, Jeff said:

Sally Morgan, psychic to the stars, has claimed that she has been visited by the late Jade Goody.
The former Big Brother housemate died from cervical cancer two years ago and Sally, who shot to fame in her own ITV2 show, said that Jeff Brazier, father to Jade’s two sons Bobby and Freddy visited her in 2010.
Writing in The Mirror, Morgan revealed that during her chat with Brazier, Jade had only two concerns, her two little boys. She wrote:
“As soon as he sat down and I opened myself up to spirit, there was Jade, loud and clear, radiating a deep love for her sons.”
“The first thing I felt was her concern for her boys. ‘I sense headaches around you,’ I told Jeff, and I felt a sharp stabbing pain in the middle of my forehead. Jeff confirmed that their eldest boy, Bobby, got headaches when he was upset.

Cheryl Cole’s PR company have denied rumours that she is in talks to become the next presenter of Big Brother.
Earlier today, we reported that The Daily Star claims Channel Five are hoping to land the X Factor judge as the new host of the reality TV show, when they revive it this summer. They claim that she is likely to accept the role, as an act of revenge against Simon Cowell who has reportedly let her down by not offering her a job on his new Us X Factor series.
However, Cheryl’s ‘people’ took to Twitter today to deny the report and demonstrated a rather keen sense of humour when they wrote:
We thought the journalist that made up stories for the Daily Star had quit in disgust. Has he returned for today’s silly splash?
