Blind Item #5 - Dancing Boy Blind Item

Here's a further, top secret sneak preview for the first thing, "The Dancing Boy of Hollywood: A True Story:"

I've gone missing, skipped sessions with my shrink, and an appointment for blood work. I haven't answered calls or texts in weeks, including from our patron, Mr. Conte himself. He's concerned that I might have relapsed - again.

Henry and Christina are sent to find me, which they do - at this secret retreat in the woods. I'm surprised to hear that I'm missing, and a little mad they think I'm using again. (I'm forced to pee in a cup in front of them, as the last time I was afforded privacy for this purpose, I had bought and passed along a clean sample. Sadly, it did not - of course - match my dna.)
They're also there to make a delivery. It's a videotape - not for my eyes, but the vault. I ask: celebrity sex tape? Nearly, Henry says, on both counts, but I'm sure you don't remember it. I guess it must be out takes from my barely legal porno career. It's earlier than that, Christina says.

They've been authorized to make a deal: I tell them, under oath, where I've been, and they'll be allowed to show me the tape. I agree.

The story cuts to a party in Malibu, June 1991. Henry and Christina discover I've been using - heroin, in this case - and stage an intervention. (It all started in the hospital, a few months before, when I was being treated for injuries from a certain secret mission. I hadn't planned to continue using, but then was told me what happened: our other injured team mate - with whom I was close - didn't make it. It's all about survivor's guilt.)

They go to call my parents, and a certain celebrity psychiatrist - who I'd been seeing - but do so from a pay phone, just to play it safe. They flush my drugs before leaving.

Already jonesing (it could be hard to find a pay phone in Malibu), my 17 year old likeness is visited by several of my peers. One of them, my leading frenemy (to be played by you know who) - he's the one who stole my journal - has a bag of dope, but I'll only be allowed a hit if I agree to play truth or dare. The truth, of course, is what happened to me on set (during the making of this movie). The dare, of course, is to reenact it.

Cut back to the secret retreat. I confess where I'd been: at the death bed of a certain doctor, in LA - the man behind the dancing boys of Hollywood. I believed, naively, that I'd been summoned to hear an apology. It was nothing of the sort. He had, instead, a proposal. He wanted to leave me his empire, built on sex and drug trafficking, and worth billions. But it meant going to the dark side. I decline, returning to my life as a homeless undercover reporter, having just seen the face of evil. (His empire goes to my nemesis - a former member of our secret team, who sold us out on our first mission, leading to this one kid's death - and we'll be taking up more about him in the first film-only short, "Down and Out (in this place I currently live): A Dancing Boy Investigation." And I reveal my biggest secret: what happened, in hospital, at the hands of five members of an industry satanic cult.

Back to Malibu, where my former agent literally comes out of the closet, and catches me in a vulnerable position. I've violated the nda, but he's prepared to make me a deal: I get to continue using, but he'll be allowed to have his way with me until I turn 18. At the last minute, my allies swoop in, rescuing me and snatching the tape.

Back, again to the present day, where we narrow escape being burned or blown up by the bad guys - they're already aware that I've talked. Fortunately, there's a mirror site due north, where we go for the night. We'll be safe there, for now.

  4. I was thinking about going out to Costco for a grocery run but as it is a holiday weekend I will wait until Tuesday (to avoid crowds & traffic. It has rained here a lot recently so it is nice & cool (but overcast). I have some pasta I can heat up for lunch so all is well!

  5. DB’s writing has been more lucid the last few posts. However, it does seem likes he’s travelled further out in the cosmos. In that universe, the Dancing Boy Franchise will be a massive success.

  6. I find the Dancing Boy blinds to be hit or miss. I liked this one but I do not have any guesses as to who the doctor who wanted to leave his fortune to DB might be.

  7. While I will admit to not understanding the premise, I will say that it's extremely interesting.. and if it ever really DOES make it out into the open and we understand it all- there's gonna be some "functionally retarded" individuals here who will pretend to of followed along the whole way.

  8. Thanks for asking, @SandyBrook.

    It's been extremely hot in Las Vegas this week, too!
    SO, hot the wife is talking about moving.
    (Don't want that to happen. Hint: I'm about to make some serious cash selling a resort property.)

    Anyway, it was so hot here, we decided to swim at night for the first time in a long while.

    Best of Luck to all!

  15. Woke up and was brushing my teeth when Ithe power went out and a LOUD boom happened across the street, a woodpecker blew a transformer and was blown up. Couldnt get my coffee or car out of garage to do some early morning plant watering at clients, couldnt reach the manual cord for the garage door. Waited until it came on again and ran out in the Florida heat to do my work and came home to swim and chill in pool but every single neighbor was running power tools this morning and my ears were ringing so I came back inside. Ugghh.
    I then made a late breakfast and dropped it on the floor.
    Going back to bed now.

  16. I'm with Sal. Dancing Boys are fiction. Climate Change, on the other hand, is fact.

  17. Well I was hoping it would show up here Friday like it threatened Rosie, but it didn't as usual..keep your hopes up though.

  18. I'm in the UK and it's shite weather here. Why did I get a dog who likes to sniff every bloody inch of the path?!

  27. Are these blinds supposed to come off as authentic real life scenarios, or are we just giving feedback for a ficticonal movie script in process?

    Either way, your writing has really gotten a lot better; I can follow along so much better now. Sorry if the truth is just stranger than fiction, but this always sounds over embelished.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I just assume Dancing Boy is taking his real life and turning it into a screwball superhero story. That said,he still needs a script Doctor. The weather sucks here,rain, then super high humidity. Too wet to fix garden. However,I will be canning tomatoes and maybe more pickles.

  32. Hot here too. Wildfires are raging all along the west coast though and really puts a nasty smog over everything. Sun has been red for a week now. Hoping it starts to cool off or some rain comes our way. 😣

  33. I’m fortunate enough to not be in an area that’s being evacuated but there’s an estimated 600 wildfires in BC right now. This happens on an annual basis now and it’s sad.

    ReplyDelete
  34. In an unexpected moment of kindness, I'm going to suggest to Dancing Boy that he tell his story in a more linear fashion rather than flashing back and forth in time so much, because honestly that confuses the shit out of people. It's even worse when the jumps are so far apart that you have to have different actors play the roles. Only a masterful few writers have managed to pull this timeline-jumping style off, and if you think about it, each character has a distinguishing characteristic that didn't change over time, which made it easy to tell who was who, such as clunky glasses, or a scar, or an accent.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm appalled you people are still playing the "what I had for dinner" game, an ultimate sign of disrespect, for a serially abused Hollywood personality. You all should be ashamed of yourselves, but, for some reason, something tells me your boundaries have faded away long ago.

    I can feel the searing pain, confusion and horror at the skipping in and out of events like they all blend in to one from DB's writing style. I guess you have to have some kind of an insight into the world of the dysfunctional, something, it seems, especially those here, like to pretend and feign ignorance of. Dancing Boy, and I, and many others, know it's much, much different.

  40. Is any of this information actually new? There are so many confusing DB blinds that I swear I've heard every piece of information provided here before.
    Anyway, Happy Sunday everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ok. So we're getting a glimpse of his real, current life (doctor's appointments, bloodwork), interspersed with past trauma and incidents, and quite a bit of fantasy.
    My take:
    DB is writing. A lot. It's coherent. So I'm inclined to believe that he is clean, as he claims.
    The fact that he's writing so much for CDAN right now, combined with his lack of social media activity makes me think he is indeed ignoring phone calls & shutting out friends and family.
    I worry that if he relapses, or comes down from this manic activity, he'll have nobody to talk to or count on. Christina, Henry, and the patron aren't real. I mean, they are real people, but they are not really in his life the way they are in his "movie plots". And I don't know if they have real life counterparts. I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm worried.

    Dancing Boy: if you are reading these comments, reach out to someone. Not just your shrink. I'm sure you have someone in your life you can talk to. Because if your friends are reading these, they would be worried too.

      Right. It was a pee test.
      What he said was that his previous sample was "bought" and therefore someone else's DNA. Not his.
      And so they didn't give him privacy (and the opportunity to use someone else's pee) this time.

  45. @Satan 666 yes, for the most part, I personally think they're worth it. But mainly, it's the brand of wax you buy. I like Cirepil blue hard wax. The wax pots dont have to be super fancy, but they do need to have adjustable heat and heat evenly. Strips made for waxing are best for the removal.

  50. "Fortunately, there's a mirror site due north, where we go for the night. We'll be safe there, for now." -- I thought mirror sites were websites where servers hosted content as a more accessible copy of content originating elsewhere(?) Is there a kind of real-life location referred to as a mirror, and if so, what is its definition?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Absolute bullshit, I stopped reading after he said he failed a piss test because his dna didn't match. This shit is some kind of fantasy and I believe the author is actually getting off retelling his supposed past.

    1. That's actually not what it said. Read it again.
      "Not my DNA" was just a fancy way to say he used someone else's pee in order to pass the drug test. Unnecessary anyway since he said he'd bought it.
      He passed it this time because he was clean.
