Taking a page from the playbook of Mediaite’s sister site Gossip Cop, Gawker’s Maureen O’Connor—along with an army of interns—scrutinized almost two years’ worth of issues from five leading tabloids, including Us Weekly, Star, Life & Style, In Touch, and OK!, to find out which mag lied the most. (The nation’s most trusted celebrity magazine, People, was left out of the investigation because, as O’Connor writes, it “publishes so few unconfirmed rumors—and instead relies on scoops that have been spoon-fed by publicists.”)

The result? OK! and Star have the worst records. Less than 10 percent of the stories advertised on both magazines’ covers turn out to be true, and less than 15 percent of each magazines’ overall stories are accurate. US Weekly came out on top in Gawker’s study—but even there, the website found that 65 percent of cover stories and 41 percent of stories overall are lies. Unsurprisingly, O’Connor also found that most of the lies are somehow tied to a five-year-old scandal involving Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.

Yesterday CNN host Don Lemon had on Tom O’Neill, Senior Editor of In Touch, to discuss rumors that the soon-to-be-released Jackson documentary “This Is It” is not as legitimate has it claims. Specifically, that a body double was used in the film.

When Lemon said of the controversy, “and like everything else Jackson touches (this film) probably will turn into solid gold,” one got the sense that he may has well have been talking about CNN’s ratings.
