Publication: Weekly World News (via the Sun)Date: 26 July 2010
My two favorite stories this week are both from the Weekly World News headlines. This is rare because the WWN usually only gets a single headline on the Sun cover. We had the return of Satan's face, this time in the BP oil spill, but also, one of the tabloid's "top psychics" foresees Ms. Ellen Degeneres being pregnant with twins!
There's a meta-joke going on here. The Sun is the tabloid that completely admits it's just making stuff up, and the crew at WWN make up the wackiest stuff on the cover they share with the editorial department from the Sun. Do I believe Ellen will be pregnant with twins? Not in the least, but there have been at least a half dozen Bun In The Oven Alerts™ this year that have been just as bogus as this one, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Rachel Uchitel and Gayle King. None of those were made by psychics.
