LONDON, UK - Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has had about enough tabloid exposure and has successfully obtained a court ruling that upholds his privacy against posting unprofessional and despicable headlines about his said affair with a Big Brother contestant and ex-beauty queen, Imogen Thomas. The court ruling prohibits anyone from reporting about Giggs and Thomas' names, their private lives, and their relationship.

This kind of court ruling is usually obtained by celebrities, public figures, and politicians who wish to maintain the clean image of their names, as well as companies who don't want any bad press connected with their brands. This is one way of possibly defending an image in today's tabloid infested, celebrity-addicted world. Giggs went ahead to get the court ruling after a shocking blow-up of 75,000 different posts about his dating life appeared last weekend. Giggs' name even became a worldwide 'trending topic' after thousands of tweets and re-tweets from fans, twitter accounts of tabloids and celebrity shows.

Although the famous athlete has managed to stifle tabloid reports, he hasn't avoided the fact that Twitter, the most up-to-date gossip portal in the web, is still around to house its discerning users who continue to post libelous and damaging comments about his personal life. Attacks about Giggs' court ruling and dating activities remain, despite the lawful agreement done in court. Twitter users continued the gossip fest and started using the alias "He Who Shall Not Be Named" towards Giggs to avoid any altercations with the law, much to the dismay of the athlete and the reality star.

The court ruling was finalized after The Sun, a famous British tabloid, requested an appeal for the ban to be lifted. To their dismay, the court went in favor of Giggs, and mentioned that the ruling is much needed after the attacks done on Twitter.
