This just wouldn't be "Would We Lie?" without a mention of Mary Kay Latourneau and her longtime beau, Milli Vanilli.
Latourneau, a former teacher, had sex with Vanili when Mili was 12. She got pregnant and convicted of rape or something. The judge went easy on her, letting her out of jail early if she promised to stay away from Milli. Mary Kay promised and then, as soon as she was out, had sex with Milli again, this time in a car. And again she got pregnant.
Those crazy kids!
So she went to prison. And now she's out. And a judge said she and Milli could get back together.
And, according to the always reliable New York Post, she's still hot for Vanilli, who is now 21. He has flown to Seattle to be with her.
Hold on. Now that we've actually read the piece in the Post, we have to correct ourselves. The kid's name is Vili Fualaau. Not Milli Vanilli.
We apologize to Mary Kay, Fualaau and all readers who demand accuracy from their journalists.
But we like the name Milli Vanilli. We think we'll use it.
After all, we don't really write any of this stuff. We have ghost writers for that.
We just accept the awards.
