He Fought The Law Alert™: John Edwards' nailed by dead wife's video testimony

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 20 June 2011

The Enquirer has been the source on every story but one since the beginning of 2010 about John Edwards, and even that story was more about Elizabeth than it was about him. Now there's a fresh story that her video testimony will be damning in a court of law.

I don't know anything more about legal matters than what I watch on TV, but doesn't the defense have a right to cross-examine any witness? It will be interesting to see if any evidence like this actually sees the light of day.

He Fought The Law Alert™: Deathbed video sending John Edwards to jail!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 21 February 2011

The Enquirer loves to ruin people's lives, if possible. There isn't a consistent partisan slant to it. They went after Rush Limbaugh and he had to admit he was a drug addict, though the Enquirer said he would go to jail, which didn't happen. They went after Al Gore as a harrasser of a massage therapist and that story went nowhere. Their biggest success of the past decade was when they nailed John Edwards as a wayward husband and the father of a love child. Not happy with that, they keep playing the story that he is going to jail.

Their latest attempt to send John Edwards to the Big House is because of something incriminating he allegedly said at his wife Elizabeth's death bed. This is the third time the Enquirer was sure that Edwards would be sent to jail. The first time was eleven months ago when they were sure a grand jury indictment was around the corner, and then again in late April, when there was an alleged cover-up of a DUI.

Here's what we know for sure. The Flagship hates John Edwards so much, he's almost an honorary Scientologist.

The Globe bids farewell to the stars we lost in 2010.

Publication: Globe
Date: 3 January 2010

The Globe often has a story in contention for Meanest Story of the Week, but not this time around. They take up most of the cover in tribute to people who died this year, and all they have is pictures with no teaser headlines about tragic secrets or the like. The list includes several people whose deaths wer not mentioned in the Globe before this issue. In no particular order, the names are:

• Tony Curtis
• Dennis Hopper
• John Forsythe
• Rue McLanahan
• Elizabeth Edwards
• Barbara Billingsley
• Leslie Nielsen
• Gary Coleman

And the only person on the list who I will print a picture of here, not out of any disrespect for the others but out of special respect for her. 'Cos she's purdy.

• Miss Lena Horne

Best wishes to the family and friends of all the people on this list, from a fan.

Secrets taken to the grave alert:Elizabeth Edwards' revenge

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 27 December 2010

Let other magazines take the high road, the Enquirer always knows a short cut straight through the muck. Instead of letting Elizabeth Edwards die in peace, they want us to know about the last words she said to her scumbag cheat of a husband that will haunt him forever and the shocking last minute changes to her will.

Stay classy, Enquirer.

People's 2010 Year In Review

Publication: People
Date: 27 December 2010

People has their double-sized year end issue on the stands with five stories, all with brief headlines.

They named Sandra Bullock Woman of the Year. In the gossip rags, she is hands down the best choice.

Like any year end review issue, there are tributes to people who died. They put Elizabeth Edwards on the cover, again an obvious choice.

There's a story about hottest dresses, and they use a picture of Halle Berry as the prototypical example here.

Who can argue?

They promise stories about the best weddings. I thought they might have gone with Chelsea Clinton, but instead it was a more recent ceremony, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

And last but not least, there is a category for dream couples, which right now can't be anybody but Wills'N'Kate.

Elizabeth Edwards' Brave Last Days

Publication: People

Date: 20 December 2010

The Gold Standard puts Elizabeth Edwards on the cover less than 48 hours after she dies, a very quick turnaround for a magazine. Another difference between People and the rest of the pack is that they only use "Brave Last Days" to describe someone who has already died. The sub-headline reads "Loved ones recall her courageous life, hard fought battles and devotion to family".

Best wishes to the family and friends of Elizabeth Edwards.

Breaking news:Elizabeth Edwards dead at 61

Publication: Christian Science Monitor
Date: 7 December 2010

Yesterday, the news was that Elizabeth Edwards had suspended cancer treatments because the disease had spread so far. Today, the report is that she died.

Of all the death predictions in the gossip magazines this year, the ones that were also sourced in the legitimate press were the illnesses of Dennis Hopper and Elizabeth Edwards, both of whom are now gone. I really hoped there would be good news for her, but the prognosis was grim and even People magazine gave her a cover story where she said "I wish I had more time." This is the only story from People this year that added to the death watch list.

Best wishes to the family and friends of Elizabeth Edwards, from an admirer.
