Bible helps tabloid reporter to quit

This is fun. Marlise Kast was a reporter with one of America's supermarket tabloids, The Globe. But she was shocked by the terrible things she was expected to do, such as sneak into William Shatner's wedding, move in next door to Leonardo DiCaprio and write a story to match the headline "Madonna: Fat & 40".

So Kast, who comes from a deeply religious family, decided she couldn't sell her soul any longer and resigned. Now she's written a book, Tabloid Prodigy, about her experiences and here she is promoting that book and quoting Jeremiah to explain her Damascene conversion from tabloid evil to righteous authorship.

When she joined The Globe did she think it was a biblical studies weekly?
