Depends on reliability of the source and notability. If the subject was Barack Obama and the sources were The Washington Post, The New York Times, AND The Wall Street Journal, the mere report would be encyclopedic. If the subject was Joe the Plumber and the source was perezhilton.com/, no. Answering your specific question requires reference to the factual situation, but, no, we are not a "gossip rag."
