Blind Items Revealed #4- Mr. X

March 17, 2015

This is a long one, so bear with me. There have been very few times when this A/B-list host has really lost her temper. The most recent incident was last year, when she was scheduled to have this former A+ list diva on her show to promote her then-latest album. A few days before the live show, the diva’s PR people marched the host’s offices military style, with a complete list of demands presented to the host. Among them: that the show be pre-taped, that she only be filmed from her good side, that a full mini-bar be installed backstage, that she lipsync her song she was to perform, no mention of her split from her soon-to-be-ex husband, etc. Well, the host laid down the law to them and didn’t agree to any of their terms. With that, the angry PR people decided to cancel the interview (without the diva’s approval, mind you) and marched out of her office. As an act of revenge, the host booked the diva’s arch rival, a fellow pop diva, not once but twice. But the diva may appear on the show after all in a few months to promote her new gig which might prove to be the comeback she needs. The host and the diva actually had a phone conversation a few weeks ago, and she revealed that she hired some new PR people because she was angry at how they bungled the promo for her album and she was glad she didn’t appear on the show then because it would’ve been a nightmare.
