UK hacking scandal's famous targets

Rupert Murdoch's News International media group is facing a firestorm over allegations that its News of the World tabloid hacked into the voicemails of newsmakers and public figures. The victims and targets allegedly include celebrities, athletes, politicians, a murder victim and members of Britain's royal family.

Hugh Grant is one of the high-profile names who allegedly had his phone hacked by the tabloid. The actor said in July that police have asked him to testify at an inquiry into the allegations, and he is among those calling for a full investigation into the alleged phone hacking by journalists in Murdoch's media empire.

Here's a look at some of the other famous faces linked to the scandal:
