Selleck’s Dad Gets Apology: Tom Selleck’s father received an apology from the Globe supermarket tabloid for statements it published in a 1982 article describing his son’s alleged “love secrets.” The apology, published in this week’s edition of the weekly tabloid, and confidential terms reached between the Florida-based Globe and Robert Selleck, settles a $6-million libel suit filed seven years ago. The case involved a story headlined, “Tom Selleck’s Love Secrets--By His Father.” Other headlines promised “His Father Reveals All” about “Why Tom Selleck Can Never Become a Happy Lover.” Robert Selleck denied making any statements about his son’s love life.
