Correction Of The Year: Star Says Witherspoon Was 'Bloated,' Not 'Pregnant'

Via Women’s Wear Daily:

Actress Reese Witherspoon threatened to sue Star over a June 26 cover saying she was pregnant with “baby #3!” Star responded in last week’s issue with a retraction of sorts: an unflattering photo of Witherspoon at the beach, her paunch circled, under the headline “Reese Mystery Solved: She’s Not Pregnant … It’s Bloat!” Asked whether the insulting story was payback for the legal threat, Fuller said, “The page and the image speak for themselves.”
