Once in a while, even the most molasses-iest of inert gossip can accumulate and clog up the works worse than that time you decided to experiment with flushing Q-tips down the toilet. Many of these stories are unfounded and tend to cite "a source" and provide very little in the way of actual substance. For bloggers who got lost on their way to law school and ended up camped up in front of a MacBook, this is a problem. For certain other bloggers, it means a chance to put that crumpled up, crappy MFA degree to good use and embellish the empty spaces with poignant tales with Life Lessons and a chance to volley big words. But eventually, an ominous cloud has to float on and rain all over our pop parade. Thanks, Gossip Cop! Even if there are a million things wrong with the idea of "responsible celebrity gossip"! So without further ado, a recap of more prominent things that appeared to look one way earlier this week, but now appear considerably different and less interesting.

● Sometimes the truth can be a relief. Like a pile of boulders plucked off your chest. For instance, in this case where Megan Fox will not be playing the part of Catwoman after all.

● At other times, the truth can be crushingly disappointing. Like just when we thought Hilary Duff was getting some teeth and blowing off her Gossip Girl co-stars, it just turns out that this just your run-of-the-mill New York Post fauxtrage.

● Perez Hilton -- bless him and his attempts at mastering his ESL night classes! -- confused the clause "George Clooney injured his hand while closing the car door" with "George Clooney injured his arm after flying off his motorcycle."

● By the by, it's true, Madonna was really booed.

● Surprise! Zombie Radar got the story wrong when they said LiLo misplaced $2 million worth of jewels. Turns out nothing was lost.

● And finally, Katie Holmes will not be fashioning a line of clothes for Scientologists.
