Blind Item Round-Up

I love a good gossip blind item...and I ESPECIALLY love the not-so-blind items that are like, waaay obvious. They make me feel smart.

After the jump, nearly every blind item from this week that I could get my grubby hands on. Or at least the mildly interesting ones, anyway. Let's all make our best wildly irresponsible guesses! Whee!

I THINK Ted Casablanca (why can't that man ever make a lick of sense? WHY?) is talking about some actress who makes the gossip rags because of anorexia rumors, but the truth is she's an on-again-off-again heroin addict who employs a private staff of docs and life coaches to stay clean (as opposed to rehab) when her career and image requires it, even though she has no intention of ever staying off the drugs long-term. (The Awful Truth)

Which "very well known" black female celebrity is actually a huge cocaine and X user despite a carefully-crafted modest, good-girl image? She's also a grade A bitch to her coworkers and demands zero eye contact and third-person communication only. The item reads like it's probably a pop star and not an actress. (Panache Report)

Which redheaded B-list TV star is wearing a wig these days after her hair started falling out post-coloring? And which tween star recently had an obviously botched nose job but ALSO had her boobs done -- but then had saline leakage and had to reschedule some filming while she went back to L.A. to upgrade to silicone? (Crazy Days and Nights)

And what's a week in blind items without debating who's gay and refusing to be open about it because it's all totally our business? We have one guy openly picking up guys but remaining publicly vague, and another "full-on fraud" who just broke up with his long-term beard and is now making out with boys at the clubs while the PR machine continues to plant fake stories to protect his female fanbase. (Lainey's Gossip)

Finally, which morning CNBC reporter keeps a jar of mayonnaise under his desk and eats from it straight, with a spoon? Uh. What? (Gawker)

Hmm... For the resd head I'm going to guess Alison Hanigan, not Marcia Cross. I read once that Marcia often wears wigs to protect her hair from constant styling. And the heroine addict? Hmm... Paris Hilton? Jennifer Aniston?

I hate these blind items. I can NEVER figure them out!

I can has hints, plz?

It's all over the place that the two main dudes on Gossip Girl aren't even pretending not to be together at this point. I don't know their names, cause I don't watch the show. The others puzzle me - Alyson Hannigan hasn't been red lately, has she? She's been brunette on HIMYM...Hmm...

[Isabel]

Wait...the two main guys from GG are gay and dating each other?

Which guys?

I must find this out.

Awww man, I wish at least one of these was about the marital break up of a consistantly relevant pop star and her british director-type hubby! That way I could bust in and save the day and be all "ooooh, I KNOW THIS ONE!" (thanks to Tracy)!

[missbanshee]

Oh wait! The redhead! Kathy Griffin! Her hair has been a fright and a half on D List this season.

[chatty cricket]

What about Debra Messing for the redhead?

Also, based on Ted's clues, well deciphered Amalah! I think the only thing I came away with that wasn't included was that she kicked her habit "for good" because of her current situation, but fully intends on going back to the drugs once she is able. Makes me think of Angelina. Remember how scary skinny she was before she conceived the wonder twins?

i think the b-list redhead is that chick from that 70s show, Laura Prepon. all the others...no idea! this is so hard. dmmit.
