Annoying label bookkeeping #8

This is a link to the post below made necessary by the massive number of labels for the story.

On the rocks alert: Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper officially split.

Publications: People, Star, In Touch, Us Weekly
Date: 4 April 2011

Last week, Star scooped the rest of the supermarket rags by telling us Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger were through. This week, it's on four covers, including the usually reliable People. Here are the different headlines.

• People: Renee and Bradley: Inside their split
• In Touch: Bradley and Renee: why he dumped her
• Us Weekly: What drove Renee and Bradley Apart
• Star: Renee & Bradley behind the break-up
  Why Renee ran to Sandra (Bullock)

Star gives more cover details than the others, but one of their details contradicts a plot line from last week. Allegedly, Bradley was tomcatting around according to Star, and one of his alleged trysts was Sandra Bullock. Now, it sounds like she was being a friend and go-between instead of a homewrecker.

On the rocks alert: Renee Betrayed by Bradley

Publication: Star magazine
Date: 28 March 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! There is a lot of fallout from the confirmed break-up of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel this week, and this story is the detritus farthest from the scene of the crime. Star has pictures of Bradley Cooper with two different actresses out in public, which obviously means they are shagging like wild weasels either just prior to or just after the public photos are snapped. Cooper is seen with Jessica Biel in a picture that looks real dated February 26 with the caption "caught cuddling", though it just looks like a Hollywood "hello" hug. There is also a picture that could be photoshopped with Sandra Bullock dated March 5 captioned "sneaking out".

I am not giving Mr. Cooper the man slut label because the evidence is just too skimpy.

UPDATE: Since the break-up of Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger is all over the place on the supermarket rag covers the week after this story, this gets a belated Scoop of the Week label.

Bells Are Ringing Alert™?:Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper getting engaged!

Publication: In Touch
Date: 21 February 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! Every year or so, some gossip rag runs a story that the longtime couple of Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger are getting married. This week, it's In Touch that writes they are "getting engaged", which would imply they are not engaged yet. I have seen neither a confirmation or denial of this most recent version of this story.
