TomKat, take note.

The long-running legal battle over photos from the 2000 wedding of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones was going to Britain's highest court Monday.

Judges in the House of Lords were sitting to decide whether celebrity magazine OK! is entitled to compensation from rival Hello! magazine, which published secretly snapped pictures of the couple's lavish wedding at New York's Plaza Hotel.

WHAT HAPPENED?

OK! — which had an exclusive contract with the Hollywood couple — sued Hello! after the rival publication ran its own pictures of the event. A High Court judge ruled in favor of OK! in November 2003, ordering Hello! to pay costs and damages of more than $3.8 million.

Hello! appealed, arguing that it had run its own wedding pictures as a "spoiler" to its rival's coverage — a common practice in journalism.

Last year, the Court of Appeal agreed, dismissing a claim by OK! that its rival's spoiler had unlawfully interfered with its business. The judges overturned the costs and damages ruling and ordered OK! to pay back the money it had received.

A panel of Law Lords, judges who sit in the House of Lords and make up the country's highest court, were due to hear OK!'s challenge to that ruling starting Monday.

During a dramatic six-week hearing at the High Court in 2003, Zeta-Jones said she had felt "violated" when Hello! published its "sleazy and unflattering" pictures. She singled out an image that showed Douglas feeding her wedding cake, saying, "I don't usually like my husband shoving a spoon down my throat to be photographed."
