Meanest story nominee: Yet another premature story about the Jackie O tapes.

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 8 August 2011

Okay, let's get the facts out of the way first. There are tapes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that have not been released to the public. According to reliable sources, Caroline Kennedy will authorize their release this September.

Now we are expected to believe the low rent Examiner has a source that will tell us what's on them. They promise a look inside her "shattered life" and the secret of who was really behind the assassination of JFK.

This is a nominee for Meanest Story of the Week.

Linda Morand - MOD Monday

Linda Morand from Long Island, New York, was one of the top fashion models of the mid 60's to mid 70's.  She was was originally discovered by Eileen Ford (Ford Modeling) and graced the pages of Vogue, Glamour & Mademoiselle as well as many international fash mags.  She was considered to be the favorite model of designers Betsey Johnson & Vidal Sassoon and was one of the first ever American models to be booked from New York to work the runway in Paris.

   
She had an uncanny resemblance to Jacqueline Kennedy when she was younger  and even had the opportunity to meet her doppelganger at P.J. Clarke's in Manhattan in 1971.  Her modeling career was more successful in Europe than in the United States as she was the muse to Pierre Cardin, Karl Lagerfeld and Paco Rabanne.  She was well versed in her craft that took her on travels through Paris, Milan, Munich and Barcelona.   She was one of the most photographed models of the MOD era, who was just like her contemporary Twiggy, was an 'it girl' who set the standard of style for her generation...

Her career was short lived and only spanned a duration of one decade as she retired in 1975 to raise a family.  She did however, open a small exclusive modeling school as well as an international photography studio. At present day, the vintage haute couture model spends the majority of her time trying to get a two hour television special off the ground...'The Supermodels Hall Of Fame'

Now in her 70's, Morand could still pass for mid 40's as this once super model, super chick of the 60's is still on top of her game which totally diminishes the usual stereotype of today's supermodels with their eating disorders and heroine chic look and totally gives rise to the old adage that 'they just don't make em' like they used to'!

Michelle Obama...First Lady of Fashion

First Lady Michelle Obama has definitely made her mark as a fashionista in the same ranks as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis did when JFK was President of The United States back in the 60's. Although she wears a variety of designer pieces she has a soft spot for Jason Wu the Manhattan based Taiwaneese American fashion designer who created the one-shouldered silk chiffon gown she chose to wear at the Presidential Inaugural Ball on January 20th 2009.

It's been said that out of all the presidential wives, Michelle most resembles the late Mrs. Kennedy in her overall demeanor of grace and poise alongside her fashion choices which mimmick the vintage styles of that era.  For many reasons other than their choice of fashion, the Obama's have been cited as being 'the contemporary version of camelot'...

Fashion journalist Kate Betts, contributing editor to Time magazine and a former editor-in-chief at Harper's Bazaar recently wrote a book titled 'Everyday Icon, Michelle Obama and the Power of Style' which explores not only Mrs. Obama's, but the style history of previous first wives from decades ago. 

Her passion has been consistent throughout this presidential term as she was seen wearing a 1950's Norman Norell vintage black lace cocktail dress on the TNT 'Christmas in Washington' special that aired December 17th 2010.  

I just recently found out that Obama was slammed by a public figure in the media for wearing too much yellow but since it wasn't Joan Rivers fashion police, does anyone really care? ha!  It's a given that everyone is going to have their own opinions good or bad, but I absolutely admire her for her exquisite vintage fashion taste.

He fought the Law alert:Kennedy family stalker

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 7 February 2011

The low rent Examiner gets another story right, and they give it a Hey Old Timer Gossip slant to keep their demographic interested. The headline reads "Jackie's granddaughter has a stalker!", because the name Tatianna Schlossberg just won't sell newspapers. They did not include a picture of young Tatianna, but they did have the name and photo of Naeem Ahmed, whose obviously Arabic name makes him even scarier. He has been in custody since early December awaiting psychiatric evaluation.

Hey Old Timer Gossip:Jackie Kennedy's secret tapes revealed.

Publication: Globe
Date: 31 January 2011

The Globe says they have secret tapes of Jackie Kennedy revealed by her daughter Caroline. In them, she says who killed J.F.K. and she talks about how heartbroken she was over his affair with Marilyn Monroe.

The tapes actually exist and Caroline Kennedy has decided to release them on the 50th anniversary of her father's inauguration. We will see how juicy they are soon enough.

Kick several corpses, why don'tcha?Ted Kennedy's secret diary

Publication: Globe
Date: 19 July 2010

Fresh trash on Thursdays!

I've only seen eight of the covers of The Only Ten Magazines That Matter this week, the ones that put previews online. Of those, this one gets my vote for Meanest Story of the Week. The Globe, one of the unreliable and cheap sister publications of the Enquirer, says they have Ted Kennedy's secret diary. In this alleged bombshell of a historical find, Ted claims he and Jackie were lovers and Aristotle Onassis plotted to kill Ted.

How many of the people involved have denied this story? As you might guess, none, because all of them are dead.

You might notice that there is a hand in the foreground of the picture of Jackie and Ted together that doesn't belong to either of them. There was a third person in this photo and I cropped him out since he's not in the story. Some might consider this dishonest. Compared to the Globe, I am a rank amateur at dishonesty.

Kick several corpses, why don'tcha?Jackie O secret tapes reveal who was behind JFK killing

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 28 June 2010

The Examiner wins the Hey Old Timer Gossip derby this week by have two stories in that category, the one about Anne Francis and this one about Jackie O keeping secrets about the JFK assassination.

As we know, being dead does not immediately disqualify people as being cover fodder for the tabloids, so it's a little unusual that the year is half gone and this is the first mention of Jackie in the tabs this year.
