Don't Mention The Osmonds

Hey hey, my my, rock 'n' roll is made of lies. Paul is not dead; Marilyn Manson did not star in The Wonder Years; and emerging Detroit rock duo the White Stripes is not a brother-and-sister act. Though the press has long described the two as such, it turns out that singer/guitarist Jack White, 25, and drummer Meg White, 26, were married in 1996. Why hide it? Perhaps to avoid difficult questions about their divorce last year. Or maybe it was a clever way to promote their upcoming CD, White Blood Cells (Sympathy for the Record Industry), which, says Jack White, is concerned with how "getting attention is both good and bad."
