An ex-News of the World journalist played a recording of a hacked voicemail, left by actress Sienna Miller for actor Daniel Craig, to his editor Andy Coulson, a court has heard.
Prosecution witness Dan Evans, who has admitted phone hacking, told the Old Bailey it said: "Hi, it's me. I can't speak, I'm at the Groucho with [then-boyfriend] Jude [Law]. I love you."
Mr Coulson described the tape as "brilliant", Mr Evans told the jury.
Mr Coulson denies hacking charges.
'Company man'Mr Evans told the court he discovered the message after hacking Mr Craig's phone.
He said a colleague then started "mobilising the story - allocating resources to it".

The colleague told him "to start knocking up a version to put before Mr Coulson", he added.
Mr Evans told the court: "Later in the day, Andy [Coulson] came over wanting to hear the tape."
He said he played the tape to Mr Coulson and another executive.
"I don't know if I played it for both at the same," Mr Evans said.
"I played the tape a couple of times. They said good work."
The executive "held my elbow and said 'you are a company man now'", Mr Evans said.
He added: "Andy wanted to preserve the tape but not the original recording so he said to me, 'make a recording of the tape and stick it into the jiffy bag, have it sent to the front gate and have them say it has been dropped in anonymously'."

One of his colleagues picked the tape up with "mock surprise" and said "look what I've found", Mr Evans said.
He told the court he went to Mr Craig's house and knocked on his front door to "front him up".
When he confronted the James Bond actor with the allegation, Mr Craig said: "No, no, no it's not true', the Old Bailey heard.
The story was published the following week.
Mr Evans told the jury: "For the record, I would like to apologise to them all for having their privacy infringed."
Mr Coulson, sitting in the dock, shook his head and took notes as Mr Evans gave his evidence.
Charges deniedOn Monday, the jury heard Mr Evans had pleaded guilty to hacking at the Sunday Mirror between 2003 and 2005 and at the News of the World up to 2010.
He also pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office between 2005 and 2010.
The court heard he entered into an agreement with the Crown Prosecution Service in 2012 and had given two statements since.
Mr Coulson is one of seven people who deny charges related to phone hacking.
He also denies conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks also denies charges including conspiracy to hack phones.
