A pair of old ones, from the time of John Hurt's last divorce... His wife had left him for a well known Irish landscape gardener and descendant of the Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton (and thus presumably a relative of "Shackleton" Shackleton too)


"Elephant Man Packs Trunk"

"John's Hurt as Wife Drops Bloomers for Gardener"
 
Good one today in the Evening Standard.

Not a headline, but classic Sun article on Sunrise rave back in the late 80s

The Sun "Ecstacy Airport"

‘Beheaded pigeons littered the floor after Sundays party. Youngsters were so high on Ecstacy and cannabis they ripped the birds’ heads off. Their bodies lay among thousands of empty soft-drink cans and pieces of foil which had contained the drugs. Also littering the huge building were leaflets advertising other acid house parties at future dates and venues’
