So, if these people on magazines make up stories about celebrities that are actually and really lies, just to hurt their reputation, shouldn't the people be put in jail?
Answers:
Generally, libel is a civil matter. These mags get away with writing a lot of crap simply because it is too much trouble to sue them. Once in awhile one of the mags will print a lie about someone who will take them to court.
libel is not a criminal cause of action but a civil one. celebs can sue tabloids and often do.
Libel and slander are civil matters, not criminal.
