...lies. Paul is not dead; Marilyn Manson did not star in The Wonder Years; and emerging Detroit rock duo the White Stripes is not a brother-and-sister act. Though the press has long described the two as such, it turns out that singer/guitarist Jack White, 25, and drummer Meg White, 26, were married in 1996. Why hide it? Perhaps to avoid difficult questions about their divorce last year. Or maybe it was a clever way to promote their upcoming CD, White Blood Cells (Sympathy for the Record Industry), which, says Jack White, is concerned with how "getting attention...
...Internet age, rock 'n' roll still knows how to keep a secret. To most of the media (The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and The New Yorker, for example), Detroit's neo-garage rock duo, The White Stripes, are siblings.

Last year they divorced, but the band remained intact and released its most immediately accessible album to date, De Stijl...
...albums, they've built up a precociously large roster of simple, nigh-perfect tunes, from rave-ups redolent of mid-'60s rock ("You're Pretty Good Looking") to childlike love songs ("We're Going to be Friends.") Jack's vocals and guitar are sharp and plaintive and precise, and Meg's rhythms have drive and swing. Predictably, they wish their music would get all the attention, and don't speak on the record about the sibling issue. One can only speculate about what purpose the fib serves for them, but it seems likely they're loath to gab about their...
...Always looking for ways to "waste the Internet," Delvecchio and Karamchandani have her deliver more than just shuttle information. For example, saying "When Harry Met Sally" calls up Meg Ryan’s most famous orgasm...
