Hugh Grant and the Phone Hacking Scandal

Hugh Grant recorded a conversation between himself and a "journalist" who revealed details of phone hacking by the media. Details of the exchange were then revealed by Hugh in the New Statesman. The "journalist" in question, a certain Hugh McMullen, was a features editor at the now defunct News of the World and amazingly debated the issue with Hugh Grant on the BBC.

I love the bit where Hugh says: "...you should try real journalism, you're not an idiot Paul, you could probably do it" (it's right at the end of the clip).

The nice people over at at The Daily Show mention Hugh's heroics as well.
