Miranda Lambert is slamming this week’s National Enquirer cover story claiming she got her stomach stapled to lose weight.

The tabloid alleges the country star “owes her recent dramatic weight loss to secret gastric bypass surgery,” but the report is 100 percent NOT TRUE.

In an open letter to fans, Lambert writes, “Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me… I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight.”

She continues, “I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield.”

“As for the assumed number of pounds lost…? I don’t even know! Like I have always said, it’s not about a scale, it’s about how you feel and how your jeans fit,” said the singer. “And on November 10th when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished!”

Lambert adds, “So for anyone who is tempted to read the ‘Trash Talk’ please don’t. I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size. Thanks for the support yall!”

What do you think of Lambert slamming the tabloid?

“Jessica Biel has turned to an unlikely source in her quest to get hubby Justin Timberlake on the baby-making train — his former boy-band buddy Lance Bass,” declares the National Enquirer.

The tabloid claims that while Biel is helping Bass plan his upcoming wedding, “She’s also using the time to get advice from him about how to convince Justin that the time is right to start a family.”

“Justin keeps telling Jessica they’ve only been married for a year, and they should enjoy the time they have together before they rush into making babies,” a so-called “friend” of the couple tells the Enquirer.

The supposed pal continues, “But Jessica reminds him they’ve already been a couple for six years — and she doesn’t want to wait anymore.”

And so, the magazine alleges, Biel went to Bass for help.

“Lance told Jessica, ‘I’ve known the dude for almost 20 years, and if you stay on him, I swear he’ll cave,’” claims an Enquirer “source.”

(Yes, because every woman wants her significant other to “cave” when deciding to start a family.)

Anyway, the mag adds that Bass “even talked to Justin himself.”

“He told Justin that Jessica is serious and she isn’t taking no for an answer,” alleges the outlet’s “source,” who was apparently privy to both private conversations.

The Enquirer even alleges that even though Timberlake is on a concert tour through next summer, Biel has “been turning down new acting jobs, apparently in preparation for parenthood.”

The couple’s “friend” adds, “Jessica is determined to work on having a baby after Justin is off the road. And thanks to Lance, she knows she’s doing the right thing in not letting the issue slide.”

That’s news to Bass, whose rep says he has NOT advised Biel about any baby plans — much less pressured Timberlake into it.

The Enquirer story is “totally made up,” his spokesperson tells Gossip Cop.

John Mayer Refused To Duet On Katy Perry Song, Says Tabloid

“Katy Perry and John Mayer are butting heads so hard over ‘creative differences’ they actually stopped talking for a while — and pals feared they were about to split again,” begins a breathless piece from the National Enquirer.

According to a so-called “source” for the magazine, “Katy had done a duet with John for his last album, but when she asked him to return the favor for her next single, John balked when she wanted him to warble on one of her bubbly pop songs.”

STOP.

“Warble”? “Bubbly pop songs”?

That’s not a “source” — that’s the distinct voice of the National Enquirer.

Anyway, this made up “insider,” who was apparently present for the couple’s supposed fight, goes on to allege that Mayer complained, “You know that’s not my style of music,” to which Perry “pouted,” “I did it for you.”

Yup… that never happened.

Gossip Cop checked in with a close Mayer source, who tells us the magazine’s story is simply “not true.”

Oh, and if that’s not enough, Mayer recently opened up about the pair’s collaboration at the Oxford Union (video below), and everything he says goes against the Enquirer report.
