When Little Email Rumors Become Big Libel Problems

popbitch.jpg Wait, that snide email newsletter Popbitch has people behind it? Who make money? And they've got hundreds of thousands of subscribers? So much news about a text-only email that arrives in our inbox with various frequency from this story about British actor Max Beesley and how he sued for libel over allegations he tried lining up three girls to have sex with him. Popbitch has agreed to issue an apology in its next email and pay Beesley and undisclosed sum. "We now accept that the item was totally untrue," they said in a statement, even though their tagline "devoid of reality" is basically a blanket disclaimer against reporting fact.
