Weekly World News

Don't lie. You know you've flipped through those ridiculous tabloids in the grocery store. We get it — they're hard to resist, especially with headlines like "Alien Baby Born In Southern Tennessee Talks About Life On Mars." And there's no publication more outrageously intriguing than Weekly World News.

Printed in black and white, Weekly World News would feature a ridiculous headline atop a photo of a popular celebrity back in the day. You know, just to keep you on your toes. It was the epitome of fake news, but in a totally hilarious, more wholesome kind of way. Today, you can only find their peculiarity online, but that doesn't mean we can't reminisce on headlines of the past. 

We flipped through issues from the '80s and '90s, just to remind us of a healthier, more innocent time when fake news was funny. Here are some of our favorites. Prepare for spit takes.
