The British pop star who sang at News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch’s wedding in 1999, when she was 13 years old, sued the company over claims its News of the World tabloid later hacked into her voice mails to get stories.

The lawsuit by Charlotte Church and her parents, James and Maria, was filed last month in London and made public this week. She is suing News Corp.’s U.K. publishing unit and its former private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, who was jailed for phone hacking in 2007 and re-arrested last month in a new probe.
