Publication: National EnquirerDate: 9 August 2010
Friday is now officially the day for the Meanest Story nominees, and there's plenty to choose from this week. There's a subtext in the tabloids telling the people standing in checkout lines that they actually have it better than the rich people who actually are miserable. The Enquirer's lead story moves the subtext forward and makes it just text.
There are multiple pictures of celebrity women who were beaten, and pictures of guys caught cheating.
Beaten women: Rihanna (pictured above), La Toya Jackson, Mindy MacCready
Guys caught cheating: Don Johnson (with a porn star), Keith Urban
The "Cheaters Hall of Shame": Morgan Freeman, John Edwards, Jesse James
Both beater and cheater: Mel Gibson
This is definitely a mean story and the pictures are hard to look at. Most weeks it would be a favorite to win meanest of the week, but there is stiff competition this time around.
