    I once heard a rumour that Liam Gallagher had a threesome with the Appleton sisters from All Saints. For legal reasons, I will stress at this point that it is not true; but I did hear this rumour when Liam was with Patsy Kensit and before it was public knowledge that he was seeing Nicole Appleton. You'll imagine what went through my mind when they became an item.

    That Madonna can act. There's only one worse actor (since deceased) and that was Prince. What he achieved in music, he lost in acting. Christ, he was dire.

    Actually the Enquirer is well-known for its accuracy regarding celeb stories. It has broken heaps and heaps of scurrilous, and true, tales. It has a sleazy style but it is frequently right. Also often wrong but it takes the risks.

    And it is no secret that for years the Enquirer has preferred hiring hacks from Britain who have both a better sense of humour and past masters at the foot in the door.

    I'm sure that El DeBarge recently admitted this

    I've read that he has admitted it on a reality show. There's a photo of a girl who looks like Janet and her weight did fluctuate a lot back then but I can't see why she would give up a baby.

    I didn't realise the niece and the secret daughter were alleged to be the same person. I read that the daughter learned the truth when her adoptive mother was on her deathbed.
    I think Rebbie and Janet look very alike but who knows...

    Jamie Lee Curtis is a hermaphrodite.
    I dont think she looks particularly manly (shes beautiful), so no idea where this came from. I guess her getting her baps out in 'Trading places' was to show she was a woman ;)

    She's very striking and quite 'angular' but she had the desired body shape for the eighties. I remember reading something about her parents being advised to give her a unisex name when she was born, make of that what you will..

    Paul is Dead- the real Paul McArtney died in a car crash so the Beatles, secretly swapped him for a lookalike and covered it up.....but point to it in audio and visual clues on their albums.

    Hmm, really? Ally Ross has always remained adamant that it's true.

    The various fake celebrity deaths via a yachting accident or anything sea related.

    I remember a story in a teen magazine in the late 90s that Stephen Gateley from Boyzone was secretly dating Baby Spice. Although that story may have been put out there by his management team as being gay in a boyband at that point was not the done deal
    I remember this, it was blatantly created by Louis Walsh. I remember Emma Bunton being questioned about it and her and the other SG being really mean about Stephen.

    The worst? Well that was on here... mmm, let me think how long ago... maybe around 10/12 years ago... that Jimmy Saville was a serial paedophile with tendancies to enjoy portering in the hospital morgue...he was not alone in his tendancies and that it would all come out after his death... now who would have believed that? :o

    I used to be an avid and regular visitor of DS and was well amongst the original Savile thread way back when. It has to be said there were way more people being awful and calling people who dared suggest JS was a paedophile than there were people saying otherwise. I got into *a lot* of rows on that thread. People should really think twice before ripping other people to shreds. A lot of people were named in that original thread too Rolf Harris, DLT, Ted Heath... Now I'm not suggesting Cumberbatch is a cyborg and in some weird submissive relationship, but people refuse to be manipulated these days and that's kind of where these crazy rumours stem from (or maybe some are actually true?!).

    The one I would love to see is that a DS member (me) is having the most awesome affair with Holly Willoughby especially this morning dressed in that lvely Pink.

    However the best one I always remember is the headline.

    "Zip me up before you go go" , about George Micheal cruising with an undercover US cop.

    I didnt believe Cheryl cole being at death's door with malaria. To me it just reeked of publicity seeking.

    Una Stubbs and the coffee table , another totally untrue one

    Never heard of that one. Sounds like it was only a low level affair.

    Didn't the Daily Sport once claim a number 69 bus was found on The Moon. :D:p

    But then again, that isn't a newspaper. Is it still going?????:p

    I once had a very good friend who worked for the Sunday Sport (it, not the Daily carried to bizarre stories). BTW He had been a high-flyer on several of the nationals, but had been suckered into taking heroin in the 1980s at a swizzy middle-class professionals party while working as the crime correspondent for the Daily Record in Glasgow. Joints were circulating among the journalists, lawyers, bankers etc, but the one he was handed was heroin. It was fantastic and he asked where the guy providing it got that 'great blow'. Not blow, he was told, but heroin. Oh, no, not for me, he said. Don't worry he was told, a little won't hurt, etc etc. Usual story, the first bits of heroin were free and he free-based. Then came the cruncher: you'll have to pay. And as free-basing gave him headaches, he was advised to inject. Scam complete. And by mate Bill was a very smart cookie. Happens to the best.

    That is by the by. He contained his addiction for years, moving on to the Screws, but finally he wasn't coping any more (splashing himself with whisky in the mornings so that when he got the withdrawal shakes at work, folk would think he was an alky). Finally, the Screws paid for detox and he was off it, only for alcohol addiction to take its place - many addicts are like that. Eventually, after several more paid-for detox stays, he was let go and after a brief spell on the Western Morning News is Cardiff where I met him and shared a flat with him, he went off and joined the Sunday Sport.

    This is all round the houses, but the point of it all is that the bullshit stories on the front page were a hoot to write, written more or less in committee by everyone when the rest of the paper was done and after a long session in the pub. Bill told me that the most amazing thing was the responses they got: in one case after the double-decker on the Moon story, they received a four-page fax from some boffin in Cape Canaveral (this was before the internet and email) explaining in long, long detail just why it was not possible).

    Sadly, he is now dead. He did come off the booze and jacked it all in to become a cycle courier in London. I was already working in London by then and we used to go out on the piss, but a - very - good friend (who had landed a book deal for thrillers he wrote) paid for Bill to go on a final detox at The Priory, and that did it, he was off. But he changed his life completely, and we lost touch. Then a few years later, I tracked down an uncle in South Wales to find out where Bill was now. 'He's dead,' said his uncle, 'found drowned in his bath'. He went on to say he thinks Bill was probably murdered but by then it was just to hard to discover what had really happened. But he had stayed off the booze.

    RIP BIll Corke, a very decent guy indeed and a very funny man. He was great company and although I only knew him for 4/5 and haven't seen him since 1994, I still miss him.

    DS had a supposed insider who said Cole was in hospital due to eating disorder rather than Malaria.

    The media perpetuating the idea that Leonardo DiCaprio is still attractive and that he is raging ladies man.

    Leonardo is neither attractive or heterosexual.
