(ANSA) - Rome, January 22 - Tabloid newspaper the Sun
published a picture of a topless woman on its page three on
Thursday in apparent mockery of recent media reports that the
44-year-old feature had disappeared.
Sister newspaper the Times reported Tuesday that The Sun's
topless Page Three girls had been dropped after publisher Rupert
Murdoch bowed to pressure from campaign groups.
The tabloid neither confirmed nor denied the report, however.
And in what observers described as an act of 'mischief', on Thursday the Sun featured a topless photograph of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth, under the headline 'Clarifications and Corrections'. It also apologised on behalf of "the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us." A trail on the front page read 'We've had a mammary lapse'.
