No, it's not a storyline on "Guiding Light" (RIP) -- but rather the latest chapter in the John Edwards mistress scandal.
The guy who once claimed he was the father of the child born to Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, is now claiming Edwards is the real daddy (duh!) and that Edwards once promised Hunter he would marry her after his wife died (she's sick with cancer) -- this according to a book proposal obtained by the NY Times.
Andrew Young, Edwards' former aide, claims Edwards told Hunter it would be a rooftop wedding and the Dave Matthews Band would make an appearance, the Times says.
Because it's the dream of every major recording artist to play at the wedding of a disgraced politician to the mistress they had a child out of wedlock with after the politician's first wife dies of cancer.
If Matt Damon died in the treacherous mountains of Palos Verdes, it's certainly news to him.

Another one down -- Mary J. Blige is the second big performer to deny being involved in Jermaine Jackson's Vienna tribute concert for Michael.
Jermaine claimed Mary was on board for the concert during a press conference yesterday -- but when we saw Mary and her husband/manager out last night in NYC, they had no idea what we were talking about. Chris Brown -- who J.J. also claimed was going to perform -- has also denied being involved in event.
As if there wasn't enough to figure out in the wake of Michael Jackson's death, a San Fran man is throwing his name into the circus -- claiming to be Michael Jackson's 24-year-old son!
According to a creditor's claim filed yesterday in L.A., a guy named Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson is requesting a DNA test to prove he is the biological son of the late King of Pop.
A birth certificate was submitted with the claim -- one which lists a "Michael Joseph Jackson" of Indiana as the father and Zerline LaVette Dixon as the mother.
According to the claim, MJ's family pressured Prince Michael Malachi's family to keep quiet.
Coincidentally, Prince Michael is the name of MJ's two "official" sons.
This video is probably as real as the existence of unicorns -- but the clip, claiming to show Michael Jacksonwalking out of the back of a Coroner's van after his "death," is making the rounds on the Internet today.
According to the LiveLeak post: "I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in. I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it´s real and Michael is alive."

Maybe he was just giving her a closer look at his 9 iron.
There are many rumored Tim Tebow girlfriends out there -- one busty babe in particular -- but when we got the Florida Gators quarterback yesterday at LAX, he said he's flying solo.
Gisele Bundchen still hasn't confirmed she's pregnant with TomBrady's baby, but her shopping trips have been ... interesting.
Our shopping spies say they spotted the supermodel looking for duds at Petit Trésor Baby Boutique on Robertson Blvd. in L.A. two weeks ago ... she ended up buying a few items of the pink persuasion.
It certainly doesn't prove she's pregnant ... but, baby steps.
People are going nuts over Raven-Symoné's newborn baby -- there are pictures circulating of the tiny tike and she already has a name: Lilliana Pearman.
Too bad Raven doesn't have a kid.
Her rep just put the rampant, ridiculous baby rumors to rest by giving us the following statement:
"Raven-Symoné is not pregnant nor did she give birth."
We've lost a lot of icons recently -- but no matter what NBC says, Betty White isn't one of 'em!
During a report yesterday morning at Forest Lawn Cemetery, "Today's" Michael Okwu listed the "Golden Girl" as one of the celebrities already buried there.
Meredith Vieira corrected him -- he probably meant Bette Davis.
Good news everyone -- George Clooney is alive and well ... just like Jeff Goldblum and Natalie Portman.
For some reason, some seriously messed up people at fakeawish.com dropped some evil rumors that Clooney was the latest star to croak this week ... and now, we've learned the fake stories have caused some serious concern within his circles.
TMZ spoke with Clooney's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, who told us he's been bombarded by frantic calls from legitimate media outlets and some of Clooney's friends who were genuinely shaken by reports of Clooney's death.
With the rash of actual celebrity deaths in the last few weeks, "death pranks" are at an all-time high -- but the people who are starting these terrible lies ... they're still the lowest of the low.
