You love them. You really love them.

It's been six months since Kate Middleton waved goodbye to her life as a commoner (happy anniversary!) and it seems that royal well-wishers are almost as happy for the couple as Kate and Prince William themselves, as it emerged today that the newlyweds have been positively drowning in fan letters and cards, having received roughly 60,000 pieces of correspondence since their wedding day.

Hugh Grant: Rupert Murdoch "Terrified" Police and Politicos, Talks Possible 9/11 Phone-Hacking Victims

If it were up to Hugh Grant, there'd be an awfully big investigation.

The British heartthrob, who helped police bring down a former News of the World editor by taping their conversation about illegal eavesdropping, offered up his thoughts on the phone-hacking scandal that has engulfed Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

In an interview with Matt Lauer on Wednesday morning's Today, the 50-year-old Grant admits it's "terrifying" to see the extent to which Murdoch's minions at News of the World and possibly other publications have gone to get inside dirt on celebrities such as himself, musicians and politicians.
