...story a 'complete fabrication,'" said editor Tony Frost. "Our hands were forced into showing we had the proof." But it never seems to take very much to force the Globe's hands. The Giffords called on the public to respect their privacy, but this time they did not confirm or deny the story's authenticity...

He's way too busy to talk--"It's 2 p.m. on a Wednesday!" he barks at me, as if I should understand what this means--but he does stay on the line long enough to confirm that the album has sold more than one million copies. "It's really not that complicated," Danny continues, "We just took the biggest hits of the year and put them...
