Today's Blind Items
In the past, readers have sent me blind items, and after I have had a chance to check them out, I have published them. This time I am going to publish three which I have not been able to verify, but are fairly innocuous and thus I don't have a problem revealing and taking a chance. The background on them checks out, but I have never been able to confirm them. Don't forget that the the first week of January will be a monster reveal or update of the past six months worth of blind items and an update or reveal on many, many others. I hope this time they will be easier to read and wade through. It is a monumental project, but something I know all of you love.
This first one comes from a reader who is best friends with one of the nieces.
#1 What Movie Actor (B list?) who was up for an Oscar used his celebrity to bed numerous women -not unusual- but the girls, hoping to get a "call back" left articles of clothing behind. Rather than do more than a 1 night stand, this actor brought all the sweaters, shirts and coats back home to his family at xmas time for a holiday grab bag for his young nieces!
This one I did actually check out more completely, but didn't post it because it had an additional element involving another person which I couldn't verify so removed that portion and left in the good stuff that I could.
#2 This visiting male writer at a Midwest university has been dating a very famous singer/songwriter who is well known for her name and heroin chic look rather than any successes in the past few years. Once he finished his commitment at the university he was supposed to move in with the singer back in LA. Only, he's not been faithful at all. There is a cute little poet here, quite the ingenue, who he pursued and pursued heavily since he got here, before the semester even began. She held off for about a month, told everyone what he was doing and how gross he was being, but for the last two months or so, they have been involved in a dirty dirty relationship. They don't even try to hide the evidence. I've overheard people talking about the compromising situations they have found them in, and have in fact run across them outside our local dive bar, up against the back wall being a bit more than just friendly. It's not unheard of here for professors to hook up (and often marry) the students, but it's not looked upon very well, and even in spite of this the writer and the poet have been very indiscreet. Like sex in public, loud kind of s and m stuff overheard by the neighbors, caught and ticketed by campus security kind of indiscreet. Our singer doesn't know anything about it. In fact, she's just waiting for him to finish up the semester and move out there. She's real sweet and the whole thing disgusts me.
#3 This female singer who is alleged to be a lesbian has always had a thing for young Asian girls. This went on for quite some time. The only problem was she could never pick them up on her own at a club and so whenever she was with one she paid for them. She paid well for them and paid often.
No idea about #1 and #2 but i'm going to guess Pink for #3 and Joey Fatone for #4
ReplyDeleteno idea for #1 or #2, but i was thinking # jps (random photos) and #4 david hasselhof (ha ha)...........where oh where is WD...it is wednesday..isn't it?
ReplyDeleteFiona Apple and writer Johnathan Ames.
ReplyDeleteooh i didnt even think about that Liz, you're probably right
ReplyDeleteim just going to wait and see what Parisss guesses so i can tell her she's wrong. lol.
ReplyDeleteno really i suck at BI..more reactive than pro with this stuff.
Singer alleged to be lesbian? mariah,pink, latifah, britney,ricky martin,janet, ciara...endless.
Good one Liz! It even says on Wiki that he is a visiting faculty member at Columbia Univ, the New School and Iowa Writer's Workshop
ReplyDeleteI love Fiona and actually was jamming to her on my way to work. What a loser this guy is!
Sugar Ray for number 4
ReplyDeletewith the Fiona thing, would anyone ever classify her as sweet? I always got the impression she was a little bit of a snob.
ReplyDeleteWayne Brady
ReplyDelete1. Cuba Gooding Jr. But really, that is sick and I can't believe anyone would actually do that.
ReplyDelete2. No clue, but good find on Fiona Apple.
3. Alicia Keys. Again, rumors of her being lesbian have surfaced ever since she has become famous.
4. Joey Fatone. I wonder what crime he committed?
1. it doesnt say that the guy is married so i was going to guess vince vaugh but i've heard he is actually gay (also addicted to strippers and crack) plus his nieces aren't hold enough to wear women's clothing
ReplyDelete2.i love the fiona apple guess, but how far back was her extraordinary machine album? for some reason, i think it was just last year and it did really well for her genre, but it could have been a few years, my memory is fuzzy. so i agree with fiona if that album wasn't released last year.
3. pink or kelly clarkson? (just bc those are the usual guesses)
4. joey fatone
Columbia is in NYC and the blind said he teaches in a midwest school, no?
ReplyDelete3. Alicia Keys
4. Joey Fatone --- will have to go into my court document database to see if I find any dirt on him.
Number 4 makes no sense...you are not kicked off a jury pool simply because you have a criminal background.
ReplyDeleteIf you've been convicted of the same crime that the person is being tried for, they would dismiss you from the jury pool because their fear would be you wouldn't be unbiased.
ReplyDeleteTwisted Sister, my comment is from his Wiki page in which it states that he travels back anf forth among the 3. Iowa is midwest
ReplyDeleteMy first thought for # 3 was Kelly Clarkson, but Alicia Keys is an interesting guess. Not sure about the others.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I know, but it said a midwest university. I know Iowa is in the midwest (I'm in Illinois), but is the Iowa Writers Workshop held at a university? That's the piece I'm confuzzled about.
ReplyDeleteKelly - never mind. I just looked up the Iowa Writer's Workshop and see it's held at the University of Iowa.
ReplyDeleteGood call!!
felons can't serve on juries in most states.

ReplyDeleteRe. #4, to be kicked off a jury, the dumb ass would have had to raise the incident/arrest with the presumed intent of being released from the panel. You would think he would have been smart enough to ask the judge if he could discuss the matter in private at the bench, in which case the BI would have been leaked by the judge, attorneys or court reporter. I'm guessing it was something lame like shoplifting. My guess is Sugar Ray.
ReplyDeleteAnytime Twisted! looks like we got #2...now for the others!
ReplyDeleteRobert, they ASK you when you show up for jury duty if you've ever been convicted of a crime.
ReplyDelete#3 = Queen Latifah.
ReplyDelete#4 = Wayne Brady.
i wouldn't be surprised if sugar ray had a record... just saying.
ReplyDeleteJoey Fatone and Wayne Brady I would be surprised about.
#2 Fioa Apple
ReplyDelete#1 - I'm going with Jude Law. Just seems the type!
ReplyDeletethe only thing good, if #2 IS my Goddess Fiona, is that there will be some DAMN GOOD songs written about this prick.

ReplyDeleteI can't see Alicia Keys having trouble getting chicks - sorry. I would be more inclined to QL or Pink
ReplyDeletemaybe I'm wrong, but in some states conviction of a felony offense and you lose the right to vote and serve on a jury. Federal felonies (bank robbery) and you can only get those rights restored with a presidential pardon.
ReplyDeleteI´m thinking Melanie C for #3...
ReplyDeleteWD....i think i have figured out who you are.....Ent says you basically read the blog everyday...i have to say....the video clip on your site is hilarious ( great parody on dateline!!!!! wish they read the blog too!!)........Ent ....is that you????? really does make a pic in the brain from your description of yourself!!! lol....really ....lol.....wd ..where are you?? this holiday stuff really has us off ! i am looking forward to your next posting!! you really do give terrific insight..hopefully tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI am going with Kelly Clarkson for #3. Pink seems to have no problem hitting on girls so I had to knock her out of contention.
ReplyDeletedeity2 - I thought I knew who WD was too but haven't found a website for her. hmmm...
ReplyDelete#3 is not Alicia Keys or Latifah, although they are gay.
ReplyDeleteI know for a fact it is Missy Elliott.
i'd say Sugar Ra for #4...gay hustler?
ReplyDelete1 is the guy that was nominated (and won?) for the pianist. adrian something?
ReplyDeletedeity and chicken - you two maybe want to share a little with the class?
ReplyDeleteHeather, even though it's not a shock that Missy Elliott, Latifah, or Alicia Keys are gay (all have been rumored to be for years), can you expand on how you know that it is Missy Elliott?
ReplyDeleteAs for WD's identity, I thought it was Olivia Wilde.
Adrien Brody is an only child.
ReplyDeletedoes Wayne Brady have a fan base to even surprise?
ReplyDeleteMy gross-uncle suggestions:
ReplyDeleteJude Law (like ellen said), Heath Ledger and Eddie Murphy. All have at least one sibling.
My singer/TV host suggestion, for the heck of it:
Henry Rollins
Sarah, you mean Adrien Brody, but he's an only child.
ReplyDeleteI also can't see Alicia Keys having problems to pick someone up.
I'm not sure what jax guessed... but I am sure it was probably wrong on multiple levels... and I could probably complete a spreadsheet to show this.
ReplyDelete-I personally think #1 is kind of funny, as long as he's not wrapping them up!
-#2 you all seem to have under control, good job!
-I'm betting #3 is obscure. I really don't know. I know she's not an alleged lesbian... but those little asian girls she has follow her around popped into mind :)
-#4: Wayne Brady would surprise me, so would Fatone... so they're possible. But I have a feeling it may be someone more obscure. Randy Jackson? He's a musician, is he a singer?
I meant I thought of Gwen Stefani for #3... little asian girls. BUT I know she's really not alleged to be a lesbian.
ReplyDeleteHow much can we say about WD on the comments? I think EL asked that we don't blurt it out but is that still necessary?
ReplyDeletei thought jonathan ames likes the boys?
ReplyDeletethe only oscar nominee for last year with nieces is maybe...
ReplyDeleteMatt Dillon?
