| As reported earlier,several
news organizations had a story claiming that Christina Aguileralip-synched
her material on Saturday Night Live on April 8. We are confidentnow that
this is not the case. From what initially seemed multiple independantstories,
closer examination reveals the source seems to center around foxnew's Roger
Friedman, who seemed to jump to his conclusion based on booing inthe audience
(which originally was reported on z100 as crew members). These
stories that mushroomed essentially copied Friedman's material withoutsaying
he was the source... We got sucked in because of this. While itis true
that this is highly unusual during a music performance on TV, itcertainly
can happen, especially when it is the end of the broadcast andthe guy has
nothing to lose (ie. getting kicked out). We also were forwardedan email
from Shelly Kearns, Christina's mother, denying the claim, whosays "I believe
that this particular rumor was, as is usually the case,started by the media--this
time a columnist at one of the network websites.There always seems to be
one sour apple in the bunch that wants to inventstories and such, sometimes
it seems just to get a kick out of how thefans pick it up and take their
false reports as truth."
Thanks for those that emailedin
on this issue. As with any of the news items, the majority of thoseof the
tabloid nature seem to turn out to be false or at least denied,but it appears
the net has the ability to extinguish rumors as fast asthey are created,
thus we have a double edged sword.
