It is possible to successfully sue the National Enquirer. The actress Kate Hudson did so.
*******************************

“Libel laws in many countries, including the U.S., generally require plaintiffs to prove a published article was both false and written maliciously. In Britain, the burden of proof falls on the defendant to demonstrate what it published was true.

That has led celebrities and corporations to sue in British courts, even when the case has only a tenuous connection to the U.K. — a form of “libel tourism” the government has vowed to curb.

In 2006, American actress Kate Hudson successfully sued the National Enquirer for libel in London, relying on the fact that the U.S. publication has a British edition.”
