Former News Of The World (NOTW) reporter Dan Evans has been given a 10-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to phone hacking.
Evans - who was the star prosecution witness in the hacking trial of former NOTW editor and Downing Street media advisor Andy Coulson - also admitted conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office and perverting the course of justice.
His sentence was suspended for 12 months.
The 38-year-old told the court he had accessed the voicemails of a number of celebrities, including Daniel Craig and Kate Moss, while working for the Sunday Mirror and the NOTW.
He said Coulson was played a recording of a message from Sienna Miller to the James Bond actor suggesting they were having a relationship while she was dating Jude Law in 2005.
Coulson was found guilty of hacking earlier this month and jailed for 18 months.
Mr Justice Saunders, who also ordered Evans to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work in the community, said he had taken into account his guilty pleas.
The judge said he had also taken his agreement to give evidence in the hacking trial and possibly in the future into consideration.
Andy Coulson was sentenced to 18 months in jail Mr Justice Saunders said: "In the circumstances of this case, and in particular the co-operation that Mr Evans has given and has agreed to give the police and the prosecution in the future as compared with the lack of co-operation from others, I do feel able to suspend the sentence for a period of 12 months.
"I would not have done that had Mr Evans not made a clean breast of his involvement in these offences."
Evans had been charged with conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office between 2008 and 2010.
He admitted paying a prison officer for stories about Soham killer Ian Huntley and a serving police officer for information about a search on the home of EastEnders actor Steve McFadden.
The police officer was paid £750, the court heard.
Investigators taking part in Operation Elveden uncovered details of the misconduct by trawling through News International emails, the court heard.
Evans admitted perverting the course of justice by making a false witness statement in the High Court in a civil action brought by interior designer Kelly Hoppen over two attempts to hack her phone.
In mitigation, Evans's lawyer Jonathan Turner said his client had been under intense pressure when the crimes were committed.
