Sleazy headline of the day: Russell Crowe Did Not Call Sharon Stone An 'Orangutan' ... Great technique from the "Have you stopped beating your wife?" school of innuendo. Spread a salacious rumor by placing "not" in the headline. You could substitute just about any noun or grammatically appropriate phrase for "orangutan" and the story would be equally valid.
  • Russell Crowe Did Not Call Sharon Stone A 'Jansenist'
  • Russell Crowe Did Not Call Sharon Stone A 'Flea-Bitten Nag'
  • Russell Crowe Did Not Call Sharon Stone A 'Lame Plastic Cunt'
In other headline news:
  • Dick Cheney did not receive massive defense contact kickbacks
  • Ted Kennedy did not rape Mother Teresa
  • George Clooney and Brad Pitt did not have an affair
