Star and In Touch: See How Badly They Failed Readers In September

In Touch Nude Hacking Cover Story

(In Touch)

Star and In Touch have made Gossip Cop Tabloid Scorecard history — and not in a good way.

For the month of September, the tabloid magazines both managed to be our worst offenders.

That’s right — for the first time ever, we have a tie at the top of our dishonorable list.

Gossip Cop busted Star and In Touch 13 times each for their wrong, inaccurate, and misleading reporting.

That included setting the record straight on Jessica Simpson seemingly being pregnant again (nope), Kim Kardashian and Kanye West allegedly divorcing (made up), and Britney Spears supposedly getting back together with David Lucado (untrue).

In Touch also had a disgusting cover story exploiting the Hollywood nude photo hacking scandal (see photo above).

How did other outlets fare in September?

Check out the scorecard below — and stick with Gossip Cop as we continue to separate fact from fiction all day, every day.

TELL US: What was the worst rumor YOU heard in the last month?
