He didn't cover himself in glory suing over it, though.
Well, that was more to do with some people accusing him of being homophobic by having the 'audacity' to sue over the un-true and potentially damaging allegation, as if being outed as gay is the one allegation anyone should just accept and not challenge. I doubt he expected that to happen.

The clue is in the song lyrics incorporated in my post. Google the singer's name + freezer.

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

Not well known celebs in the UK. However there must have been a thousand articles on the Daily Mail reporting that Lleyton Hewitt (ex Aussie tennis player) and Bec Hewitt (she was in Home and Away years ago) are on the verge of divorce.

Yes! Including the one where they had a pic with her and a guy claiming it was her new lover - except it was her brother.

Why do hamsters get such a bad rap from the press? They're small and cute and never did anyone any harm, yet they're subjected to vile smears such as these.

(Don't get me started on guinea pigs. Little b*****ds.)

Funny! I keep guinea pigs and they are cute but evil, especially when screaming for veggies at silly o'clock and churning out pellets faster than Trump drops clangers.

The American based National Enquirer used to be ridiculed back in the day for its made up stories. Doesn't receive so much stick now we're in the era of fake news websites.

If you discount the fake celebrity death and criminal accusation stories it's tough to beat the Starr hamster story.
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.

You may be mixing it up with the Weekly World News which was 98 percent bonkers rubbish, although I definitely read the odd true story in it that had been Americanised for readership tastes. Years ago some irate West Country farmer sprayed slurry all over his council offices in protest at the council's refusal to issue him with consents he wanted, and that story ended up in the WWW. I'd read it in English media earlier so knew it was actually a real news story.

I googled that as well and something cropped up about Joanna Lumley. I seem to remember reading something about Melvyn Bragg but won't repeat anything about these 2 national treasures.

The one that Marc Almond had to have his stomach pumped after swallowing a litre of baby gravy.

The story was later attributed to a number of other celebs.
This and Richard Gere and the hamster are basically urban legends now at this point.
I'm glad those two urban legends have been mentioned here. When I was a kid in the late 70s remember everyone saying Debbie Harry was aged 60 and a few years after that there was a rumour that Shakin' Stevens had lots of plastic surgery to look like Elvis Presley even though he looks nothing like him

The most recent ones are Prince Charles and Diana had a secret daughter name Sarah by IVF. It's now claimed she was murdered by Charles this year.

The real Prince Harry has also been murdered by Charles.

Janet Jackson had a secret daughter with El DeBarge. The child was adopted.

The following are from years ago

I was told that Mark Owen and Andi Peters were living together as a couple.

Also heard another story via my niece that when Geri Halliwell left the Spice Girls Louise Redknapp asked to replace her.

A sixties singer and her enjoyment of a chocolate bar of a certain brand at a party with a well known lead singer,from a rock band.

A singer who had a rib removed to allow him to be able to, err, pleasure himself orally !!

Seen the latter attributed to, at least, three singers.

Former children's TV presenter, a rugby team/player/players and a pool/snooker table.

The name of the uni varies.

Do people actually believe these stories ?

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?

I'm sure that El DeBarge recently admitted this
