Celebrities are "public figures" so it is legally allowed to print gossip and other "white lies" about them. However, non-public figures can sue if something printed/posted about them isn't true. However, if it is true, then you are legally allowed to post it. Sometimes, people will block out the names just for the person's privacy preferences, not for legal reasons. Hope this helps! Big Grin
