John Edwards Denies Rampant Speculation That He Proposed To Rielle Hunter

(By Jon Bershad, Mediaite) - News outlets are abuzz over a report that John Edwards has proposed to Rielle Hunter, his former mistress with whom he had a child, just a few weeks after the death of his wife, Elizabeth. The interesting thing is that the initial report came from the 'National Enquirer'. The tabloid famously was the first to break the story of Edwards’ affair and child, so the media has seemingly collectively decided that 'Enquirer' stories of Edwards and Hunter are the only ones they’ll “deign” to cover. Update: Gossip Cop reports that it’s not true!
