Through her godmother Belinda Brewin, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence is seeking money for maintenance, education and "advancement in life".

Hutchence's will states Tiger Lily is entitled to half of his wealth, but her carers say she has not received any money.

It is the latest in a series of legal battles following the INXS singer's suicide in a Sydney hotel in November 1997.

Lawyers for his estate claim he had �720,000 in assets when he died, but family members claim as much as �10m is held in trusts and shell companies around the world.

Belinda Brewin said Tiger Lily's mother, Paula Yates, had been forced to take out a large mortgage to help meet her daughter's expenses.

Streep honoured in Berlin

Meryl Streep: Grateful for staying popular

Meryl Streep has been honoured at the Berlin Film Festival with a special award for her contribution to cinema.

The actress was presented with the Berlinale Kamera - a small, gilded camera made by a Berlin jeweller.

The festival organisers said Streep was "one of the most exceptional actresses in the international history of film".

Streep is in Berlin for the screening of her latest movie, One True Thing, for which she has been nominated for an Academy Award.

She said: "I am very, very, very happy that the actor's branch of the Academy is not sick of me and did not think, 'Well, this time we'll give it to somebody else.'"

Kravitz drives to number one

Blondie: Knocked from number one after just one week

Rock star Lenny Kravitz, whose career was all but written off by many critics, has stormed straight to number one in the charts with his latest single.

His song, Fly Away, knocked last week's chart-topper from Blondie off the top spot, after heavy exposure in a TV ad for Peugeot cars.

It follows in a long line of singles boosted by appearances in TV commercials, most notably Levi's jeans spots featuring Shaggy, Babylon Zoo and Freak Power.

Kravitz was last in the UK Top 10 in 1993 with Are You Gonna Go My Way. Since then he has only had one Top 40 hit, Rock And Roll Is Dead, in 1995.
