Ben Widdicombe Blind Item

Which well-known NYC style scribe messed up a TV pilot when he tried to perk up for the camera by doing a line of cocaine? Turns out the baggie of leftover party drugs in his sock drawer was ketamine, which had the opposite effect.

  2. Does Tim Gunn or that other guy write fashion articles/books? I think it's probably an NYC fashion journalist or something along those lines, not a t.v personality

  5. Tim Gunn's "stick up ass" syndrome wouldn't allow that kind of tom foolery, I don't believe.

  8. wouldn't the equal amount of ketamine do more than make you a little drowsy???
    not really that familiar with it, but heard it's damn powerful stuff.

  10. @bionicbunny!

    If it was one line of ketamine? It would make you drunk-stumbly for about 40 minutes, then it would wear off, no big deal. More than one line of ketamine, well, you'd be disassociating from reality ... but still, 40-60 minutes tops.

    Not that I speak from experience ... drugs are bad, kids! :)

  12. What about Carson Kressley? Found this on Wiki:

    "In September 2008, Kressley shot a pilot for his own daytime talk show on Lifetime."

    Maybe? Is he based in NYC?

  13. And to answer my own question, according to Wiki, Carson does live in NYC.

    Never watched any of his shows; does he seem like the cokey type?

  14. Carson is a good guess, but what does he write?

  18. Carson is also a horse person - Ketamine is commonly used as a horse tranquelizer...
