May 25 2005E! has apologized
E! printed a retraction late last night to their story claiming that Jessica Simpson had filed for divorce from Nick Lachey. The statement read as follows:
“E! deeply regrets that a draft report from E! Online, which contained some false information regarding the Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson marriage, was accidentally disseminated. The couple has not filed for divorce. E! apologizes to Nick, Jessica, their family and their fans for any distress this may have caused.”
Far be it for me to live in the past, but someone should remind E! that what they “accidentally disseminated” was a thousand word report complete with pictures and links and the words “E! has confirmed that Simpson filed for divorce Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences…” That’s kind of a big deal. Not like that time I got those girls pregnant at the OC cast party. Hey man, it’s their problem now. High Five!
