Stepping out to boost interest in his new movie, Hugh Grant was on-hand for the New York City premiere of “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” on Sunday (April 22).

Held at the AMC Empire 25, the 51-year-old English actor was in quite the jovial mood as he worked the red carpet alongside fellow stars in attendance including "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and her daughter, Gia, as well as "Shameless" beauty Emma Kenney.

There’s nothing worse than an invasion of privacy, and Hugh Grant is striking back against Mail on Sunday for allegedly hacking his phone for a story about his love life back in 2007.

The “Mickey Blue Eyes” actor’s testimony against the British tabloid was heard during a media ethics inquiry over the weekend.

He's been spearheading the celebrity fight against the tabloid phone-hackers, and today (July 20) Hugh Grant has earned a small victory for all of his hard work.

During the court hearing, a British judge granted the "Notting Hill" actor the right to see all evidence that he and his former girlfriend, Jemima Khan’s voice messages were hacked.
