In the search for news worthy tabloid headlines, no one hits the streets harder than WENN (The World Entertainment News Network). Here are a few of my favorite headlines that they’ve run over the past two years. Some are exactly what they sound like and some might be defined as “misleading”.

WENN HEADLINES:

“Hayek’s Great-Grandmother Breastfed Hungry Street Baby”
“Gucci’s Ex-Wife accused of Selling Fakes”

Also, if those weren’t enough for you, here are a couple of my favorite bloopers (etc.) that they ran in their wonderful publications (plus, a bit of commentary). Everybody makes mistakes; but not all of them make me laugh this much:

8/28/08: This week, WENN literally published this sentence: “Mick Jagger’s ex-wife Bianca is devastated after losing a priceless ring worth more than $295,000 (GBP160,675).”

10/2/08: WENN’s IMDB update posted each of the first four stories twice.
In a row.
Word for word…. Slow news day.

9/21/08: WENN ran an article with the headline “Lohan’s Father Confirms Marriage Plans”; but, when I read it, it turned out they weren’t talking about Lindsay and Samantha, they were talking about HIS marriage plans. I’m sorry, but who gives a shit about Michael Lohan’s personal life?
