Will Smith receives apology

Will Smith received an apology and damages Friday after World Entertainment News Network falsely claimed that the I Am Legend star had said Adolf Hitler was "a good person."

In a statement, Smith's lawyer, Rachel Atkins, said the actor believes Hitler to have been a "vile and heinous man."

Atkins called the allegations made in the WENN article "false and without any foundation." She also told the court that the claims had caused Smith "acute embarrassment." WENN agreed to pay the actor's legal costs and an undisclosed sum for damages, which the star intends to donate to charity.
