Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Apr 11, 2019

Say you're sad, I dare you: The folks who publish the National Enquirer are looking for a buyer for the tabloid... and the other tabloids that are published by American Media. The Washington Post says parent company American Media CEO DAVID PECKER (not a typo) is getting "intense pressure" to sell it off because of "the financial difficulties of the tabloid business" and "the Enquirer's tactics." The list also includes the Globe and National Examiner as well.
American Media was acquired by Chatham in 2014 after filing for bankruptcy in 2010 with $1 billion in debt, a pretty good reason in itself to unload the tabloid.

A Zombie movie is set to kick off this year's Cannes Film Festival. "The Dead Don't Die," starring BILL MURRAY, CHLOE SEVIGNY, ADAM DRIVER and TILDA SWINTON with the first three playing small-town sheriff's deputies battling it out with the undead. The movie opens here in the US a month later, on June 14.

Like you really care: PRINCE HARRY and MEGHAN MARKLE have announced that they plan to keep the birth of their royal baby private. In a press release from Kensington Palace, the couple said they "look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family." In other words, no showing off the baby like KATE MIDDLETON and PRINCE WILLIAM did outside the hospital after the births of her three children.
