Over the years, the National Enquirer went to just about any length to get a scoop — from buying out a first class cabin to get to Richard Burton to hiring Elvis Presley’s relative to secretl…
Still, not every get was gotten in Memphis. “Pope had some weird requirements,” recalled Brenna. “He wanted pictures of Elvis’s organs after they had been cut out by the coroner. We hired one of the coroner’s staff to carry a small camera inside and get a picture of Elvis’s heart. Cops found out. We got busted. I was told to go to the airport and to never f–king return to Memphis … [Pope] was a strange man.
Nancy Kissinger, the wife of Henry Kissinger, was surprised when an Enquirer reporter popped up in her hotel poolFor the Enquirer’s massively detailed O.J. Simpson murder-accusation coverage, beginning in June 1994, a reporter created a pool-cleaning business in order to access the football legend’s backyard.
“An AP photographer said he was testing out a new telephoto lens [at an NFL game] and caught a picture of O.J. with a pair of Bruno Maglis,” a former staffer told The Post. “He was taking a step and you could see the bottom of the shoe.” The Enquirer’s story reportedly influenced the outcome of the civil case against O.J. Simpson in the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.“Jurors interviewed after the the $33.5 million verdict said it was a key piece of evidence,” the former staffer said of the photo.
“Our reporter tried to push the door open and Edwards held it shut. Eventually security escorted him out and we got a picture of him with a jacket over his head. Soon after, we managed to get a photo of him holding the baby. Game over. He went on ABC, admitted to the affair — but not paternity.” “We were looking for the headline, ‘I Killed John Belushi,’” said Brenna. “We paid her $20,000 and it took two weeks to get her to say it. We interviewed her, we socialized with her. She ran up enormous bar bills. It was a dicey two weeks.”
