Good news, even if it's a lie

Leave it to People Magazine to soften the blow for Lindsay Lohan. The thoroughgoing boobs at the magazine’s website suggest her latest bomb, “I Know Who Killed Me,” “strongly divided the nation's movie critics,” while only being able to dredge up one favorable review amidst a plethora of pans.

In fact, the scorecard at rottentomatoes.com suggests the exact opposite – critics were united in a way they rarely are in excoriating what one review called a “sleazy, inept and worthless piece of torture porn.”

We must really be getting weak when the media not only has to filter coverage of the burning issues of the day, but a gossip rag has to sugar coat our celebrity news.
