pregnant Can you say photo op?!

Whoa! - We reported Star Mag's story, yesterday, that Ellen Pompeo's hubby Chris Ivery cheated on her but here's what we're hearing now ...

Sources are telling X17online it's NOT true that Chris was hooking up with a 19 year-old from Boston but that Star paid the girl between $20,000 - $25,000 to tell her "story." Is this sorta checkbook journalism tainting their sources???
