Nicole's Scent Kicks Up A Stink

The hot and cool looking Nicole Kidman is facing a new legal stink over a story about her favourite perfume.

British broadsheet The Daily Telegraph is seriously on the nose with Kidman's legal team after it ran an article alleging her favourite scent was Jo Malone's White Jasmine and Mint - not Chanel No.5, with which Kidman has a sponsorship deal worth $12 million.

An item which appeared in the paper's Spy gossip column last week claimed the actress had jeopardized her position as a celebrity spokeswoman for Chanel No.5 after she allegedly applied the Jo Malone scent while walking the red carpet at the London premiere of new film The Golden Compass.

It was also heard that cosmetic giant channel was allegedly unhappy with the actress, and that her behavior had apparently constituted a "breach of contract".

Kidman has gone further than turning her nose up at the report - last week she set media law firm Schillings on to the broadsheet.

Schillings in a conversation said the allegations were "entirely untrue" and "grossly defamatory".

Schillings also added that "We have today been instructed to obtain an immediate retraction of such allegations and are taking separate action against The Daily Telegraph"
