The Enquirer goes after J.R. Martinez.

I have an odd relationship with the gossip world.  I don't watch the TV shows they follow and I don't read what's inside. All I know is what's on the cover.  I know J.R. Martinez won Dancing With The Stars this season, so the public likes him.  This means the Enquirer has some perverse notion that he needs to be chopped down to size.  Here are their headlines.

• DWTS J.R. Martinez Shocking tell-all!
• Women
• War wounds
• Winning

Let me say something nice about the Enquirer, even though I know their hearts are in the wrong place.

Nice alliteration.
