Q Using the name of an infant who died 30 years ago, Enough's Jennifer Lopez finagles herself a false birth certificate in Michigan. Could the ruse work?
A Director Michael Apted seems to think state officials were born yesterday. ''They don't check if a person's dead,'' he argues. But Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., county clerk Diane Cork disagrees. ''We don't let that happen,'' she says. ''You need a photo ID.'' In addition, anybody requesting a birth certificate must know her mother's maiden name -- not normally noted in obits. Besides, Cork suspects a hottie like J. Lo would stand out in small-town Michigan: ''We know who lives in our area.'' -- Nicholas Fonseca (Send queries to BurningQuestions@ew.com)
