Unfortunately they don't have any shame and that's the problem. All they care about is what will sell.

Yes I knew what she died of now but back then in 1958 they weren't exactly sure what it was that really killed her.

Doctors know they know these things, believe me Karlo...
This is because her beloved son, Elvis has become really famous and they moved to Graceland.
Yes, it was also very difficult for the poor simple loving Gladys.
She could not take it anymore. "Her son was away for so long, and the whole way of life"
I think it only deepened her addiction. Poor poor mother and son, they so much needed each other ...

This is the 'charm journalist'.
Shameless, soulless, creature, eager for sensation in the worst kind.

So true! This is why I don't buy newspapers anymore, there is no real news in them anymore.

I'm afraid that's the case with newspapers all over the world anymore. Everyone watches the newcasts on television and thank god they aren't sensationalized as much as the papers...so far.
