rss feedGossip Report: Why No News is Bad News
Posted by Michael Musto at 8:45 AM, April 23, 2008
Recently I was reading an online gossip column and came across this un-electrifying bit of non news: "Tobey Maguire is not set to become a dad again." Fine, whoever said he was? (Oh, yeah, a trashy tabloid magazine.) The late-breaking non item reminded me that my least favorite type of informational tidbit is one telling us something ISN'T happening—though it's a great way to fill column space because the possibilities are absolutely endless.
Here are some future stories I just might use on a slow week:
*Rosie O'Donnell not set to marry Ryan Seacrest
*Movie star not suing over reports that he's straight
*Nicole Kidman not set to give up Botox injections
Dame Judi Dench won't bare it all for Maxim
Naomi Campbell not nice
And of course, my most sizzling scoop ever:
*No sequel planned for The Hottie and the Nottie!
Any other ideas, folks? Tell me something that ISN'T happening (besides my career).
