Law Slams Journalist ‘ban’

JUDE LAW has slammed reports he has banned journalists from asking him about his new baby daughter, branding the claims “ridiculous”.

Model Samantha Burke gave birth to baby Sophia on Tuesday (22Sep09) after a brief romance with the actor earlier this year (09) while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in New York.

The Brit star has remained silent about the arrival of his second daughter, and is set to appear on a string of U.S. shows to promote his upcoming stint in Hamlet on Broadway, which starts on 6 October (09).

Reports allege Law banned Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa from asking probing personal questions on the Live with Regis and Kelly morning programme on Friday (25Sep09).

But Law’s spokesperson has hit out at the claims, insisting they are “ridiculous” and telling New York Post’s gossip column PageSix: “No subjects are banned.”

Law has reportedly asked for a DNA test to prove he is little Sophia’s father.
