Thanks to Boinkology, we caught this "shocking statement" by Michael Stipe about his bandmates' personal lives. Who knew the R.E.M. frontman had sense of humor? Almost makes us want to check out their new album out on April 1st. People.com gives the stunt some context here. Yes, People Magazine. Who knew that, between the Dancing with the Stars updates and the "EXCLUSIVE!" pics of J.Lo's double messiah spawn, they have a sense of humor too?
