...father's yacht, would there have been a phalanx of photographers in a high-speed chase to capture yet another glimpse of the couple? There's an audience for celebrity pap, and when the mainstream press doesn't pander to it directly, it does so indirectly by tabloid laundering: writing about how crazy it is that the tabloids spend so much time covering a royal romance, and then running pictures of the tabs' pictures to say how invasive they are. And the mainstream press is just a step behind the tabloids when it come to exploiting the private lives...

As for Cunanan's actual HIV status, that remains for the coroner's office to disclose. Florida law imposes strict privacy rules even...
...call their movies lousy, you can say they gave their daughters weird names, but don't say anything disparaging about their marriage. DEMI MOORE and BRUCE WILLIS have sued the supermarket tabloid the Star for suggesting that their union was over and that Moore had spent a wild night with Johnny Depp. (The National Enquirer said she was with Leonardo DiCaprio, which for some reason didn't offend the couple enough to sue.) Moore and Willis have also taken action against an Australian magazine called New Idea, which said Demi's obsession with fitness and an eating disorder were rupturing...
