National Enquirer Challenges Affleck to a Lie Detector Test
American tabloid The National Enquirer has demanded Hollywood superstar Ben Affleck take a lie detector test - after he denied enjoying a wild night at a lap dancing club. The Gigli star - who is engaged to superstar Jennifer Lopez - was furious when he read the magazine's expose of his alleged trip to a Vancouver, Canada, strip club. And Affleck, who has furiously denied the allegation he cheated on his stunning fiancee in the nightspot, is considering taking the Enquirer to court - a move welcomed by the publication's editors. They claim to have put their sources through lie detector tests carried out by an independent polygrapher, and insist that the only way Affleck can prove his innocence is to take the test himself. In a statement on their website, The Enquirer says, "The Enquirer's sources for this shocking story were given lie-detector tests by a top independent polygrapher - and the sources passed the test! Now, the Enquirer is challenging Ben to do what we required of our sources for this article: Take a lie-detector test. The Enquirer will even pay all expenses associated with the test, to be conducted with a mutually agreed upon independent examiner!"
