Tell all book alert: Ashley Judd's shocking memoir.

Publication: People
Date: 18 April 2011

Last week, the Enquirer was in the running for Meanest Story of the Week for writing the headline "Ashley Judd: I Was Raped."

This week, People takes the same facts but calls it a "shocking memoir" and is not even close to being in the running for meanest story.

People has class about 99 times out of 100. The National Enquirer has class about 1 time out of 100.

Meanest Story nominee: Ashley Judd: "I was raped."

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 11 April 2011

Welcome to gossip hell, Ashley Judd! The actress has a memoir coming out where she tells the story of a man who attacked her when she was a teenager and how she fought back. The Enquirer includes the fact that she fought back in the sub-headline and from other reports it sounds like an attempted rape, but that has never stopped the Enquirer from making a story as salacious as possible on the cover.

In any case, this blog sends Ms. Judd its best wishes. This story gets a nomination for Meanest Story of the Week.
