JERUSALEM — Organizers of the Palestinian version of "American Idol" said Thursday the Gaza Strip's Hamas rulers have banned residents from participating in the popular reality show.

Palestinians banned from 'American Idol'
The organizers said Hamas told them the program is "indecent," in what appears to be a new attempt by the fundamentalist militant Muslim group to crack down on behavior it sees as contrary to its conservative interpretation of Islam.
In the past, Hamas has banned women from riding on the backs of motorbikes, women from smoking water pipes, and men from working in hair salons — saying such practices were immodest. Not all bans are imposed uniformly.

The ban on competing in New Star came around the same time that Hamas police beat up members of Gaza's tiny Shite minority while they tried to hold a religious ceremony.

Victims get cash payout
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Rupert Murdoch's media empire apologized and agreed to cash payouts Thursday to 37 people — including a movie star, a soccer player, a top British politician and the son of a serial killer — who were harassed
Law
and phonehacked by his tabloid press.
The four — Jude Law, Ashley Cole, John Prescott and Chris Shipman — were among three
Lawyers for the claimants said the settlements vindicated their accusation that senior Murdoch executives had long known about the scale of illegal phone hacking and had tried to cover it up.
dozen victims who received financial damages from Murdochs British newspaper company for illegal aavesdropping and other intrusions, including email snooping.
Financialdetails of 15 of the payouts, totaling more than 640,000 pounds (about $1 million), were made public at a court hearing Thursday. The amounts generally ran into the tens of thousands of pounds — although Law received 130,000 pounds (about $200,000), plus legal costs, to settle claims against the now-shuttered News of the World tabloid and its sister tabloid, The Sun.
Law was one of 60 people who have sued Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, claiming their
mobile phone voicemails were hacked. Others whose settlements were announced Thursday at London's High Court included former government ministers Chris Bryant and Tessa Jowell, rugby player Gavin Hlower, Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt, singer Danni Minogue and Sara Payne, the mother of a murdered girl.
It was the largest group of settlements announced yet in the longrunning hacking scandal, which has shaken Murdoch's global empire, spurred the resignations of several of his top executives and reverberated through Britain's political, police and media elite.
Law, the star of "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley", said he was "truly appalled" at the scale of surveillance and privacy invasion that his case had exposed.
"No aspect of my private life was safe from intrusion by News Group Newspapers, including the lives of my children and the people who work for me," he said in a statement. "It was not just that my phone messages were listened to. News Group also paid people to watch me and my house for days at a time and to follow me and those close to me, both in this country and abroad."
News Group Newspapers admitted that 16 articles about Law published in the News of the World between 2003 and 2006 had been obtained by phone hacking, and that the actor had also been placed under "repeated and sustained physical surveillance." The company

also admitted that articles in The Sun had misused Law's private information — although it didn't go as far as to admit hacking by that paper.
Law said Murdoch's tabloids had been "prepared to do anything to sell their newspapers and to make money, irrespective of the impact it had on people's lives."
"I changed my phones, I had my house swept for bugs but still the information kept being published," Law said.
