Meanest Story nominee: Angelina's emergency surgery drama!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 7 March 2011

BrAngelina are still the evergreen supermarket rag gossip story, but this is the first time I've given a story about them a nomination as Meanest Story of the Week. It's not that the tabloids are never mean to them, far from it. It just that the level of viciousness has never been this high before.

It's the mean old Enquirer who gets this first time nomination with a story I can't find confirmed anywhere else that Angelina had an emergency surgery at some time in the undisclosed past. The sub-headers read:

• The bloody 8-hour procedure, hospital stay and painful recovery
• Brad: "I'm afraid you are going to die!"

Stay classy, Enquirer!
