Looks like fake quotes have, like, struck again, this time in a Washington Post “Names & Faces” column:
The March 18 Names & Faces column included a quote that was
attributed to Britney Spears via Allure magazine. The quote was
actually a spoof, written by a Philadelphia Daily News reporter, of an
Allure interview with Spears. The spoof was then picked up as an actual
quote by MSNBC.com.
Here’s the “quote” in question:
“It’s this reality. Like omigod, I have to tell the maid to buy diapers
and get the pool boy to walk the dog? Can’t I just make out with Kevin
all the time? Being married sucks.”
UPDATE: US Weekly took the same quote, rewrote it, and published it. Details are on Gawker here.
