''Celebrity news, it's important to remember, is generally as reliable as a horoscope. Much of it is completely speculative or made up -- not necessarily by reporters, tabloid or otherwise, but by their sources. We have no way of knowing if a given celebrity romance has been contrived by publicists to give their clients a visibility boost timed with a movie or record release. Celebrity coverage is often quasi-fiction that just happens to feature characters who are real.''
This quote appears -- at the bottom of a story, well beyond the jump -- in USA Okay, which runs more show-biz drivel than any other newspaper, so we can count this opinion as DEFINITIVE.
