(Newser) – Morgan Freeman plans to marry his step-granddaughter, whom he and his now-estranged second wife raised from childhood, family sources tell the National Enquirer. E’Dena Hines, the 27-year-old granddaughter of Freeman’s first wife, has been engaged in a secret affair with Freeman for nearly 10 years, and “becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E’Dena’s goal,” says a source. The affair allegedly led to Freeman’s current divorce battle.

Perhaps if this story came from another newspaper, I might give it a pause, but it's from the National Enquirer

Does anyone here bother to read the "source" line when reacting to stories? This is from the National Enquirer, which means it only has a 50% chance of being true.

"Why in the world is Newser sourcing from the Enquirer?" is my question.
