Blind Item #2

Sometimes a really big check is written and everyone knows there is a settlement. So, even though no one admits anything, whoever pays is usually in the wrong. What if, as part of your payment though, you get someone to say they were in the wrong. That would be a nice way to settle a suit involving a hit show on a streaming service.

Trisha13 said...

Sparkles had a boy pillow

Trisha13 said...

The surrogate came through 🙌

Yay now we can recycle the fake pregnancy blinds from the Beyonce days.

Rosie riveter said...

A boy.
I really thought it would be a girl.
At any rate, he's here. Maybe she didn't really give birth,maybe it was a surrogate. But he's here.
Thankgod. this comment section had me worried.

I bet it's a darling little boy too.

Trisha13 said...

But we know you would prefer a girl

J said...

I wonder whether she's given the little boy a cell phone video game to shut him up yet.

Trisha13 said...

I'm thinking a ball gag

Vita said...

Im sold on the Stranger Things suit, but how would the people accusing say they were wrong? Hoping no one found out about the settlement, so it just looks like, "Oh, ya know what? They didn't steal my idea, I don't know what I was thinking!". Who would buy that?

Fifi LaRue said...

I just can't wait to see all the darling photos of the baby!!!

VikingSong said...

You really are a vile wanker @J.

Fifi LaRue said...

I can teach the baby to suck it's thumb, just watch me!!!

J said...

On that topic, Viking Song, your husband's probably forgotten how, since you present him such a smouldering erotic treat.

Just kidding, I feel for that hell-dwelling fool.

@Rosie, Home birth, less witnesses ;)

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8787586/meghan-markle-gives-birth-royal-baby/

"The as-yet-unnamed baby boy is believed to have been born in the sanctuary of Frogmore Cottage - the Sussexes' home on the Windsor Estate."

"Reports had previously suggested they could opt for a home birth at Frogmore Cottage or at the Kensington wing of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital where pals George Clooney's wife Amal had their children.

There was also speculation they might choose an NHS hospital in Surrey, the Frimley Park hospital, which is just 15 miles away from their home."

J you are fucking hilarious! I know most on this board hate your guts and you do go a bit beyond at times, but I love your sarcastic, black heart.

J said...

Thanks, Weekittylass! That was nice.

Kimberley said...

+1@Weekitylass! @J you crack me up with your dry humour. (You come across as intelligent and erudite as well.) It's like you say something outrageous and then wait to see if the bait is taken! Over here (in the U.K) you would be called a wind-up merchant ;)

J said...

Yes Kimberley, that's about right. Thanks.

plot said...

Don't know how anyone could accuse Stranger Things of plagiarism, since it's scripts are basically a mash of 80s alien and horror films.

hothotheat said...

Doesn't who would buy it, if the check is large enough accusers will do anything.

Brayson87 said...

It's shady if this guy really did come to them first about Montauk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things#Production

"Montauk is an eight-hour sci-fi horror epic. Set in Long Island in 1980 and inspired by the supernatural classics of that era, we explore the crossroads where the ordinary meet the extraordinary...emotional, cinematic and rooted in character, Montauk is a love letter to the golden age of Steven Spielberg and Stephen King – a marriage of human drama and supernatural fear."

— The Duffer Brothers' original pitch for Montauk[33]

Fifi LaRue said...

Weekittylass sometimes you are funny, othertimes you are just horrid. A massive popinjay.

J said...

Fake J, you're the best!

Fifi LaRue said...

J: Weekittylass wasn't referring to YOU as hilarious.
I'm the hilarious one.
You are without WIT.
In a battle of the wits, you are unarmed.

Sorry!
Condolences for your lack of wit.

Christina said...

This thread got hijacked by the baby.

Kessler definitely got paid off by Netflix and the Duffers. No doubt in my mind. If Kessler and his *paid on contingency* attorney really didn't want to go to trial, they would have pulled out a few months ago, before pricey depositions and lots of court filings. Something happened over the weekend.

Also, if there was no settlement, both sides would be yammering away. But both sides are declining to comment. Settlement!! With a tight muzzle.

KnitWit said...

Maybe Sparkle's baby is a girl trapped in a boy's body. She can make the nanny raise her/him gender neutral get lots of press and join "the club" everyone was talking about.

Rosie riveter said...

So Weekittylass, you are a *FANCY* piece of shit?
Thank you. Duly noted

Rosie riveter said...

And Kimberley... Oh sweet kimberley.
I won't even touch this one- you seem too simple to even know what you're saying
Bless your heart tho, and best wishes at the care home xo

Rosie riveter said...

I'll save this last for plot.

It seems I was wrong about you.
Although we don't agree on many points, it's come to my attention that you're right about many things regarding this place.
My apologies.
