Though neither Jennifer Aniston's nor Kate Middleton's twins have ever materialized, Brad and Angelina are still together and Michael Douglas Deathwatch™ was a failure, tabloid coverage had not sunk as low as it possibly could. Until today. A new low: The National Enquirer printed a story called "Whitney's Final Minutes," in which they recreated Whitney Houston's death scene. The cover screams, "What REALLY happened," and presents a photograph of a woman unconscious on a bathroom floor, but if you look closely, you will see the words, "PHOTO RE-CREATION." They hired a woman to pose as Whitney Houston's dead body. More »

Sales of tabloid magazines have been floundering for quite some time, and Ok! was hemorrhaging money until it was sold this summer. So, how do you maximize profits at a time when we're saturated with celebrity gossip and people are buying fewer magazines in general? Create a brand new magazine that follows the petty, producer-instigated arguments and Walmart excursions of America's least talented stars! More »

When Milly Dowler, 13, went missing in 2002, investigators were misled and her desperate family was temporarily cheered. That's because they believed the fact that voicemail messages were being deleted from her phone meant she was still alive. In fact, the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Of The World was deleting the messages to make room for more, having illegally hacked into the girl's voicemail. Dowler's murdered body was found six months later; the News' gruesome behavior was discovered only this week. More »

Though Time, Inc. had offered millions for the American edition of OK!, the tabloid that rarely lives up to its name, negotiations recently broke down, clearing the way for American Media, Inc. to buy the struggling rag. AMI owns several publications including the National Enquirer, Star, Playboy, Shape, Men's Fitness, and the website Radar Online. AMI's chairman explains they were interested in a magazine that loses about $500,000 per week because it allows them to "offer our advertisers a wider range of celebrity coverage than any single publication or group of titles from any publisher." In other words, AMI is combining the magazine's sales and production operations with the other weeklies. We're a bit concerned about this unholy alliance between Star, OK! and Radar. We demand multiple perspectives on which celebrities have the best and worst beach bodies! More »

Prepare yourself for the shocking tale of how one tabloid deceived its readers for weeks, seemingly without remorse. I'm not talking about how the weekly gossip rags regularly print spurious rumors about Jessica Simpson's undying love for Nick Lachey or Suri's skincare regimen.
