Just so you won't forget how sleazy and discredited this magazine is, a woman sued the National Enquirer a couple of weeks ago for two 2006 stories claiming she had Ted Kennedy's "love child".

A Cape Cod woman is suing the National Enquirer, claiming that two stories it published about a supposed "love child" with Senator Ted Kennedy were untrue. In the suit, filed Tuesday in US District Court, Caroline Bilodeau-Allen of East Sandwich says that "virtually every critical fact which reported is false and defamatory."
...
"From the opening paragraph of the article forward, the article suggests, both directly and through innuendo, that Mrs. Bilodeau-Allen gave birth to Senator Kennedy's 'love child,' that the child was unwanted and that she was 'paid off' to 'cover up' 'the scandal.' Each and every one of the factual statements is false and each is defamatory," the plaintiff's attorney David Rich states in the lawsuit.
