A French court has ruled in favor of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge regarding the Kate Middleton topless pics in Closer magazine, prohibiting all publication. However, the ruling does not apply to other magazines – Italy’s Chi and Ireland’s Daily Star have also ran with the topless and nude photos – outside of France. There’s also the widespread dissemination of the photos via the Internet. Nevertheless, the court called the invasion of Kate and Prince William’s privacy a “brutal display” and ordered Closer to immediately turn over all copies of the pics. That includes digital copies. Failure to do so means a $13,100 fine. Per day. The palace has also filed a criminal complaint against those responsible for the Kate Middleton pictures … whoever that might be. The photographer is still unknown. Whoever it was took the photos of Kate Middleton topless from a LONG distance away. As she sunbathed on the balcony of a French chateau with Prince William, Kate clearly had NO idea anyone was watching during their holiday at a private residence.

Lol” He posted another tweet after hanging with Kat, writing “aw man… i just had a f**kin awesome day and it’s not even over yet. 😀 feelsgoodman.” Good to hear man. Good to hear. Feelin’ good is key. Kat Von D, who was engaged to Jesse James (twice) before accusing him of cheating on her prolifically, still has a tattoo of his face on her body. She hasn’t commented on her new man/mau5 yet.
