Everyone knows that the information contained in the magazines sold near supermarket checkout lines is generally unsubstantiated at best and flat-out false at worse. But which tabloids are the most dishonest?

OK! Magazine features a bright and shiny new cover this week that trumpets the shocking news that pop starlet Britney Spears and her sister Jamie-Lynn Spears are planning a double wedding! OMG! Turns out that it’s not true. OMG

Look, we know that tabloid magazines lie. That’s a given. Even their most ardent fans don’t actually, deep down believe the stuff they’re reading. But there are some standards that should be kept. Standards like, I don’t know, the English language. That’s why this Gossip Cop story about OK! Magazine (they of the similarly ridiculous Jennifer Aniston pregnancy report) and their cover touting a “confirmed” pregnancy for Jessica Simpson is so insulting. The word “confirmed” kind of means something.

Nobody would be that shocked to discover that celebrity gossip tabloids occasionally print false statements, but, earlier today, Gossip Cop caught OK! Magazine (a magazine whose title is either a shouted declaration or the name of a musical) printing a cover story that goes beyond the typical level of tabloid lies. The magazine cover proudly proclaims a story about Jennifer Aniston’s baby plans that Aniston’s reps told Gossip Cop is all sorts of untrue. Come on, OK! Magazine, we expect better from you. You’re supposed to be a celebrity gossip tabloid, not a British celebrity gossip tabloid.

Gossip Cop, the entertainment blog — and Mediaite cousin site — which polices the celebrity rumor mill, has joined forces with OK! Magazine, teaming up on a weekly full page print feature entitled “Real or Rumor.” The celeb weekly magazine will partner with the website to expose the untruths that run rampant in the gossip industry, beginning in the December 7th issue, available now.

With this weekend’s release of the latest entry in “The Twilight Saga:” New Moon, it’s safe to say a new publicity blitz is upon us. In this edition of Cover Wars, we remember the classics from the Twilight franchise, knowing full well that many more are now in print. We call it The Greatest Twilight Cover So Far.

Yesterday, we got extremely excited for the next entry in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and to celebrate we took a look back at the all-time greatest Twilight magazine covers so far. We picked one cover, but the fans had other ideas. And the winner is…

A new law in California will allow residents of the state to sue any media outlet that first publishes a picture that violates a “reasonable expectation of privacy” or was taken forcibly. The amendment also introduces civil fines of up to $50,000. What does that mean for the celebrity press and the rest of a star-obsessed nation?
