Never have so many people been working so hard to get the story of this cheating quashed. The problem is what everyone is willing to trade. It has so many moving parts and everyone needs to contribute or it will get out. At first glance, it does not seem like that big of a deal. A married A- list mostly movie actor who has been around for what seems forever despite his relatively young age. Television and now movies, this is his time. He has an interest in keeping it quiet from his wife. His lover is not married, and she is a B list mostly television actress from a middling network show that is due to go to syndication. The producers of the show and the studio that produce it want no bad news to shake the money that syndication will bring. You might stay to yourself that people will probably still watch it. True. There is one little tiny problem though and that is our actress has also slept with someone else and if that is discovered then production would come to a screeching halt. If the first story is released then a certain someone on the show is going to start putting together some puzzle pieces. It could get really nasty really quick. The problem is there is nothing really to trade that the tabloid wants except for money. They would like a piece of some movies from our A lister and a tiny slice of that syndication pie. Their bottom line has been struggling and they see this as a new cash opportunity for them. They will still dig the dirt, but instead of printing it, they will sell the rights to the story. If some other tabloid stumbles on the story, they won't care because they still get paid. They will look kind of strange because they will be forced to ignore the story and not write about it, but the cash outweighs all of that.
