1. "Which male model is regretting he got carried away with a certain starlet? He succumbed to her aggressive seduction, didn't use protection and now worries he may have contracted an STD?" [P6]

2. "This actress – who has been known to balance more than one job at a time – has always presented a squeaky-clean image on TV. So it came as a surprise to hear that she and her actor husband regularly take a walk on the wild side. No, they are not cheating on each other. Rather, the couple likes to direct each other in the making of live videos of their enthusiastic bedroom sessions. When they have adult guests over, they wait until all the children are tucked away for the evening, then show edited versions of the films to the guest. If the guest/s react with shock or horror, the husband and wife laugh it all off as a big over-acted joke. If the guest/s react with interest, however, they are invited to join the couple for a romp." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This male television star has been fighting off rumors about his sexuality for some time now. He hasn't confirmed or denied and seems to put down any credibility to speculation. We have a source that says the star is not really interested in revealing his sexuality, because he doesn't really care about it himself. He has no drive, no real sexual preference and no interest in a sexual relationship. His asexuality is pretty well known among family and friends, but he has no desire to advertise it to the world. Not Zachary Quinto." [BuzzFoto

4. "Trouble is brewing between these two Celebrity families who used to be very close friends and the trouble started with their children. One child from one of the families is being accused of bullying a younger child from the other family. Apparently, when the two clans get together this older ‘bully' pushes, hits, threatens and intimidates. To make matters worse, when the accusations were brought up, the parents of the child denied it and claimed that their child was close to perfect, further causing tension. Needless to say, the two families aren't hanging out anymore….No one from this [is part of Sarah Jessica Parker's] family." [BuzzFoto]

5. "Which memoir by a 92-year old, yoga-practicing East Side socialite was actually written by the lover of her walker?" [P6]

6. "Which novice restaurant co-owner table-hops, orders food and drink for the table, partakes with gusto, then moves on before the check comes? Old friends are horrified to end up paying for the owner's dinner."[P6]

1. "They will spend Christmas morning together with their child/ren, opening gifts and having a family breakfast of pancakes and hot cocoa. Sweet, right? Not really. Their Christmas present to each other is several uninterrupted hours in the guest quarters with their "other partner" on Christmas Day. So it will look like the family spent all day together – with a stream of friends coming and going during the day – while there's actually a carefully scheduled series of merry making in the guest house." [Blind Gossip]

2. "So this female Real reality star was out shopping on Sunday and standing in line with what my source said was an incredibly hot guy. Anyway, who she was with is not really the point of this, but just an added bonus. Anyway, the point is our reality star who has even had her own show was talking on her cell phone in a very, very loud voice. This was annoying to the other 20 people in line, but not as annoying as the way she was talking on the phone. It was described as the most superficial, high pitched squeaky phone call of all time and everyone in line was cringing. The guy with her was apparently used to it and his main job appeared to be carrying things for the reality star. Well, as the line progresses she is so absorbed in her own world and her own call that she fails to see an elderly man in front of her who has bent over to retrieve something. Not seeing anyone in front of her, our reality star pushes by the guy, knocking him to the floor and walks up to the register. Meanwhile the people behind her help the man back to his feet. Our reality star continued to chat very very loudly the entire time at the register and as she walked out the door." [CDaN]

3. "This very gorgeous and very voluptuous singer is thinking of switching religions. She thinks her music isn't getting enough hype and that by subtly declaring she is joining a spiritual group quite popular in Hollywood, she'll get some more press. Hey, it beats fake relationships and breakups! Not Beyonce." [BuzzFoto]

1. "A bunch of stars were at a party over the weekend. They were all supposed to bring gifts for a sort of 'white elephant' exchange. One of the stars (a C list actress) took the 'white' part a little too literally. They brought three little packages of white powder, neatly wrapped in Christmas ribbon and tied with a candy cane. Because there were children at the party, most of the guests were offended and asked the actress to leave. Not Rachel Bilson." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This actress is expecting a very special gift of jewelry soon from her actor boyfriend. After all, they've been dating for a while, they've met each others' families, and they each get more press together than either one would get alone. So, it's reasonable to expect that an engagement ring would be forthcoming, right? Um, yes, but not to her. The engagement ring is going to his very special boyfriend, who has been forced to lurk in the shadows for several years now. Oh, our actress might get a ring too, but although the jewelry may be real, all involved are very clear that the hetero sentiment is totally fake. Yes, she knows all about the other guy, and she knows that she plays a distant second to him, but she also really loves how the fake relationship boosts her image and her income. We personally think that a three-stone ring would be most appropriate. Not to symbolize their past, present and future love for each other, but to symbolize all three of the people in the relationship." [Blind Gossip]

3. "So, this A list singer who is married to an A list movie actress was in a music store over the weekend and was looking at guitars and trying some of them out. Also in the store at the same time was a teenager who was looking at effects pedals. The specific one the kid was looking at cost about $500 which is pretty pricey for a pedal. Anyway our singer and the teen talked for awhile and then the singer ended up buying a guitar for himself. While he was at the counter paying he told the cashier to also charge the effects pedal to his credit card and to tell the teen Merry Christmas." [CDaN]

5. "Which lady who recently filed for divorce is trying to lure her husband to a Christmas reunion? Friends suspect she hopes to generate footage for a reality show." [P6]

1. "Which sometime emaciated Hollywood A-lister is demanding that her people step up her arrangement with her current actor beau so that they get engaged quite soon, to help with publicity for her next movie? While he went along with the contracted relationship quite happily his star is rising fast enough for him to have second thoughts about the next step."> [PopBitch]

2. "Which geeky actor from a popular TV show tried to pull a fast one on an established retailer? Several months ago, he set his sites on a particular item and asked the retailer if he could have it. They told him that although they would not simply gift it to him, they were willing to entertain a reasonable offer for it. He never made an offer. A few months later, he came back, wanting the same item again. This time, he fired off an angry email, claiming that the item was stolen from him. Perhaps he theorized that they would believe him and simply hand the item over to him? The company took his claim seriously and began an investigation of the provenance of the item. However, when they asked him for any kind of legitimate proof that it was his, he realized that he was caught in a lie and quickly backed off. Then, instead of blowing the dust off his wallet and buying it, he began whining very publicly about it. We don't know if he will get sued for making defamatory statements, but his false accusations against the retailer – and subsequent public whining and playing the victim to gain sympathy – just make him look like a big jerk." [Blind Gossip]

WHO could this possibly BE?

At Boulder Book Store in Boulder, Colo., one writer was even busted stealing his own books. Christopher Ohman, who was a manager at the time, said: "I think he felt somewhat entitled to the copies. In some ways I can kind of understand that logic. I mean, it's a commonly held misconception that authors get as many copies of their books as they want, and that's not always the case." (Ohman conceded that the author's alcohol problem may also have had something to do with it.)

I have two suspects.

1. Jon Krakauer: Honestly, I don't think Jon Krakauer is a drunk, but he does live in Boulder, and that whole beardy Into The Wild ethos might've taken ahold of him one day.

2. Jello Biafra (ne Eric Reed Boucher): Jello Biafra is the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys, and his parents live in Boulder. I'm not sure if he's a drunk either but it's definitely punk as fuck to steal your own book and subvert the system or whatever, so maybe he needed a last minute present.

That's it.

So! We ask that whoever stole their own book or workers of the bookstore or SOMEBODY please come forward and tell us who the drunk writer was that stole his own book. Or at least give us a clue as to which whimsical Boulder scalawags may or may not be on book-stealing-benders these days. Because I'd like to know.

As for Ms. Rabb's essay, all you need to know is this:

Although there's no hard statistical evidence on most-stolen titles, The Telegraph of London reported last year that Jeffrey Eugenides's novel "The Virgin Suicides" was said to be "the most shoplifted book of modern times." Eugenides had heard this for many years. "I just assumed that the book appealed to the young and sticky-fingered to a certain extent," he told me, with some amusement. Years ago, Eugenides was at a literary conference with Paul Auster, another top choice among literary thieves. "Paul and I argued about whose book was stolen more," Eugenides said. "He claimed he was stolen a lot, I claimed I was stolen a lot. Back and forth. It was one of those deep intellectual conversations."

The punishment for stealing either of these guys' books is that you have to read them. Or be 17 again. But be the kind of 17 year-old who steals these books.

1. "This Former American Idol has fallen into a very bad habit. Very bad indeed. Not only are they heavily into drugs (which really isn't a secret), we've heard a rumor that they are now selling themselves to get money to pay for the drugs. Very sad. Not Katharine McPhee." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This might just be a first. This C list movie actress who has fallen from grace was seeing a guy on and off about six months ago. He wasn't the only person she was dating but he is for sure the one who got her pregnant. Not for the first time our actress had a procedure and she was no longer pregnant. Fast forward to three weeks ago when a sister of our actress had the same procedure and it was the result of her being with the same guy who had impregnated our actress." [CDaN]

3. "This a traditional 'shopping' weekend for this established celebrity couple. She will likely be combing the aisles of every exclusive store, looking for that perfect flat panel TV or watch or digital camera or set of golf clubs for him. He will be busy too, but not in the way you think. Since he must keep up appearances by spending the holiday with his family, his boyfriend gets this weekend. Our star will be very busy instructing him on how to properly unwrap and handle his gift. Don't worry about his SO, though. His assistant will pick out a very nice gift for her—as is done every year—and she will feign excitement over her gift and their lovely and picture-perfect Christmas. We can't wait for the photos of the whole family gathered around the tree, smiling, smiling, smiling. Fake, fake, fake!" [Blind Gossip]

1. "This A list actor has always dated the most beautiful girls in the world. These girls are his beards. He actually prefers skinny boys. His latest flame is a boy who was involved in a European scandal involving starlets, drugs and high class prostitution. Scandal Boy recently shipped out to Los Angeles so that he could be at the beck and call of our actor." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This B- list actress from a show that was recently dropped is engaged. The thing is though no paps or tabloids care enough to actually ask her anything about it. This is just not acceptable to her so she has personally started telling every pap she runs into about her engagement but they still don't care to write about it or mention it. This is a direct result of her always being difficult to them in the past so they don't feel like doing her any favors." [CDaN]

3. "This new momma is suffering from a little of the ‘baby-blues.' Instead of her partner being supportive, he is being a total jerk. He tells her to 'snap out of it' and 'stop feeling sorry for herself.' He makes her do all the work with the infant and is constantly criticizing her and making fun of her if she doesn't get dressed and made up in the morning. Not Sarah Michelle Gellar." [BuzzFoto]

1. "This Hollywood bad boy had supposedly cleaned up his act. However, his wife has been consulting very quietly with a prominent divorce attorney, and has also been asking a lot of questions around town about their stock portfolio and bank accounts. We've heard it's because her husband's former bouts with both substance abuse and the kind of sex that requires a fat bank account have made comeback. While he is working and he still has the fat bank account, he has lost his grip on both fidelity and sobriety. His wife has had enough, and has her foot halfway out the door. Dude, you'd better get your act together before she takes you to the cleaners, because your PR people are going to have a tough time spinning you out of this one. The girl may be pretty, but – in case it hasn't dawned on you yet – she sure isn't dumb." [Blind Gossip]

2. "I always knew this B list Golden Globe nominee/winner television actor was self conscious about his hair. But, what I didn't know is that although he has a few plugs, he covers 95% of his extremely bald head with four different very expensive toupees. He tells his many one night stands not to touch his head and he has four models in his bedroom where he keeps them when not wearing them." [CDaN]

3. "This young Hollywood hot couple will be breaking up in the next year. No question about it. Our source is claiming that the female in the pair is obsessed with matrimony and the male is obsessed with a blossoming career. He also wants an open relationship while she wants a house together, babies, the whole deal. The source claims that the girl is really just worried she is losing her grip on her BF and will do anything to keep him around. Not Blake Lively." [BuzzFoto]

4. "Which television anchor is frantically denying he had an affair with his wife's sister?" [P6]

1. "If you were at The Mall Of America this weekend in Minneapolis you might have seen this very good looking B-list actor from one of those network initial shows. He was walking through the mall when a woman stopped him and asked our actor for his autograph. No problem. The actor obliged and even took a photo. So, where is the Jackass behavior? Well, the actor asked the woman what she was doing in the mall. What, is this like pick up time? Anyway, she pointed down to her 4 year old twins and said they were about to get in line to see Santa. The actor then bent down to the kids and said, "You should know by now there is no Santa." He then walked away." [CDaN]

2. "This hip-hop ‘rapper' is so confident of his moves in bed, he is currently in the process of having one trademarked. We kid you not, the man is trying to put a copyright on a sex move. He bragged to friends that once that is done, he plans to launch a whole marketing scheme around the name. Underwear line, men's cologne, etc. No word yet on the name of the move (the celeb is keeping it super secret) but we're currently trying to track down anyone who has had the pleasure(?) of experiencing the move firsthand so we can see if it is all it is cracked up to be. Not Sean John/Diddy/Puff DaddyCombs." [BuzzFoto]

3. "It's great to have hobbies. This guy loves to sing and he loves to take photos. All of those girls whom he has bedded over the past few years should pay attention to the second part of that statement. If you wondered why he asked you to come home with him for the night, watch out! He's just waiting for you to fall asleep so that he can take some photos of you in your birthday suit. Before you start popping Xanax, though, you should know that he doesn't really have any intention of ever making those photos public. However, the possibility alone is one of the reasons why none of these women badmouth him after dating him." [Blind Gossip]

1. "Girl A just can't seem to catch a break. This gorgeous actress wanted to please her equally famous significant other – an actor who we'll call Boy A – for his birthday. His fantasy was to invite a second girl to a join them in the bedroom. So original, right? He begged for this for months, continuously assuring Girl A that it was going to be a one-time thing. Girl A finally caved in and invited some random pretty young thing (Girl B) to join them for a one-time party. She even wrapped a red bow around Girl B so that Boy A could unwrap his gift. Unfortunately, Boy A liked his gift a little too much and started seeing Girl B on the sly. When Girl A found out about it, she went ballistic (not surprising, as she has a tendency to do that).

To try to calm her, Boy A told her that he would do absolutely anything she wanted. Well, to get back at him, Girl A decided to invite Boy B, a working actor, to join them for a romp. She wanted to give Boy A a dose of his own medicine, and thought that Boy A would be incredibly jealous of Boy B. Unfortunately, that plan backfired too. Boy A enjoyed the festivities a little too much, and has since started seeing Boy B on the side. Even we were a little shocked to hear that, as we had never heard of Boy A going in that direction before." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This one was a bit of a shocker to hear, but hey, it's Hollywood so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This C list movie actress got her big break recently and on the set of her big break got involved with her married A list movie actor co-star. They have continued to see each other since shooting wrapped." [CDaN]

3. "This gorgeous B- list movie and television actress with a string of hit television shows and movies as co-star but not the best luck as star doesn't always get the biggest paycheck but she is really good in donating it. In her last two projects she has donated her entire paycheck to a shelter that houses homeless women that have been the victims of domestic violence. She also volunteers her time at the shelter and tries to get as many of them jobs as possible on her productions." [CDaN]

4. "This C list comic actor who used to be A list and on what seemed like every show on a network for awhile was at an event for one of his children. The event was to raise money for music programs. The school was just trying to raise enough money for one year for one class. Our actor wrote a check that will allow the program to hire two teachers and fund their salaries for the next five years." [CDaN]

1. "This D list funny guy/B list television actor got his first Botox recently. It was at the insistence of his A list television actress girlfriend who said she was tired of going out with a guy who looks 100. The funnyman went reluctantly but since the first didn't need any prompting to return for his second. It doesn't really matter anyway though since the relationship is going to be toast about a week after Christmas presents are pretended to be exchanged." [CDaN]

2. "It looks like this triple threat starlet (TT1) is heading to Broadway! The only problem is that her part would be opposite this triple threat pop star (TT2). That isn't sitting well with the TT2's family members, who refer to TT1 by several vulgar names. It's actually rather funny when you consider that both TT1 and TT2 have been caught up in separate scandals over the past few years. Scandals aside, though, the TT2's family should be more worried that TT1 will probably upstage TT2 when it comes to pipes and acting ability and sheer number of fans. Ho ho ho!" [Blind Gossip]

3. "This story comes from one of our readers (who would like to remain anonymous). Our reader got invited to a premiere after party and several big names were there. This B/C actress with what we'll call a ‘girl-next-door' reputation happened to use the powder room at the same time as our reader. As our reader was washing her hands, she was naturally star-struck and excited to see the famous starlet, but played it off because she feared she would be annoying. Next thing she knows, the actress is ordering our reader around to get drugs out of the star's purse. Our reader handed the actress the purse because she didn't know what else to do and the actress pulls out a bag of ‘white powder' and then yells at our reader for not fetching it for her quicker. Our reader was upset and embarrassed and quickly left the restroom as fast as she could. Not Jennifer Love Hewitt." [BuzzFoto]

4. "Which recent reality TV alumnus, despite the picture painted on the show, has spent the last decade somewhat undecided about which team he wants to bat on? One Popbitch reader tells us he was set up on a blind date with the star, only to find a couple months later that the star was dating a famous female pop singer, while another tells us that he and his boyfriend took the star home with them for "a fumble" one night, only to spend several hours listening to the boy's stories about how confused he was. Let's hope he's worked it out for himself by now." [Popbitch]

1. "This Reality TV Star is telling all her friends that she has slept with a certain famous Twilight star. She was drunk at a club this week and when our source questioned her about it, she said ‘it' was really 'small' but the actor can ‘really work with what God gave him.' Not Lindsay Lohan." [BuzzFoto]

2. "Which story involving a B list television and movie actor and his singer wife should be corrected by a national tabloid but isn't because they have paid so much money to the person who gave them the original story. Now you may be asking why the B list actor doesn't sue. Well it turns out that although this time he is not guilty that hasn't always been the case and he doesn't want those stories to come to light." [CDaN]

3. "This actress is a chameleon on the screen but seems to be quite down-to-earth in real life. That's why it was surprising for us to learn that she is considered a real nut case by a former employee. One day she ordered the staffer to throw out everything in her refrigerator and kitchen cabinets that contained any alcohol or caffeine or sugar or flour. Within 24 hours, she was pitching a fit because there was no food in the house. She ordered the staffer to go to the store and purchase about two dozen items. The shopping list included Grey Goose Vodka, Oreos, and Mountain Dew. All of the items were consumed over the course of the next three days." [Blind Gossip]

1. "We're not sure why everyone cares so much about this whole Tiger Woods thing. Sure, it's despicable, but it's not like it's unique. What would really shake things up is if the mistresses started coming out for this married female A list singer. Not Christina Aguilera." [BuzzFoto]

2. "Although several of his films in the past ten years have received critical acclaim, this actor is acutely aware that his fame peaked last century. Part of the problem is that while he has dated many beautiful and famous women in the past, he has been flying solo for a while. In order to put himself back into superstar status he is going to partner up with a female star. He and his PR people have been shopping for the right woman for the past couple of months. You won't catch a glimpse of the new couple until next year. The timing will very conveniently coincide with the release of his new film." [Blind Gossip]

3. "What do you do when you are promoting a movie and two of the biggest names in the movie can't stand each other? Well usually they just smile and pretend, but this B list movie actress and B list movie actor dislike each other so much they refuse to even be at the same premiere let alone walk the red carpet together or pose for any pictures." [CDaN]

1. "This singer with a famous name has finally left the Church of Scientology. She is so disenchanted with the organization that she posted a series of YouTube videos under an assumed name detailing her grievances with the cult. The Church's Office of Special Affairs (OSA), which polices the internet for "Suppressives," managed to shut down her YouTube channel twice, but it has recently been successively reposted." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This very attractive and popular female model and sometime reality star thought she had the funniest joke the other night. While at a Christmas event/party she kept saying, "Oh it will be a White Christmas." She then would do a bump of coke off her hand. All night she followed the same pattern until finally at one point the whole table she was at said it before she could. She then laughed and did another line." [CDaN]

3. "This Hollywood dad recently worked on a project with another C list star. (The project was for the holidays). The other star is not married but in a committed relationship and has been in the press for it with her A/B list boyfriend. Well, the two hated each other the first time they worked together, but kept it civil. Now the two can't get enough of each other and have had a few late night rendezvous! What does this mean? We're not sure, but we think a secret affair could be brewing. Not Russell Simmons." [BuzzFoto]

1. "Which multi Oscar winning actor scared a mole to death by gatecrashing a drinking session purposefully hidden from his legendary 'party hands'?He rumbled their plans and ended up matching them drink for drink, making increasingly smutty suggestions to a mole who bailed out at 4am and went to his hotel room. He was woken up after 10 minutes by xxxxx xxxxx in boxers shorts, clutching a bag of skunk and demanding 'entry.'" [Holy Moly]

2. "In related news, this former B list television actress and now a well known D has a side gig as a business person. Not wanting anyone to know who she is when she calls she uses a different name other than her very recognizable real one." [CDaN]

3. "What mom and former A list television actress and now a C list joke answered her front door to trick or treaters in a shirt that exposed all when she reached for candy. Moms and dads were not amused. OK, well maybe the dads were amused. I mean she is again but they probably still took a look." [CDaN]

4. "There were reports that this couple split up recently. Apparently, she had enough of his double life. But while they really have broken up, expect to continue to see them together occasionally. They are simply fulfilling commitments they made to their publicists to attend certain key events." [Blind Gossip]

5. "This married former A list television actress and now a struggling C has been trying anything and everything to get a television show for herself. Not reality. She wants a talk show and there is only one person standing in her way. That person is a former reality star turned sometime actress who is actually much more famous than the preceding description would lead you to believe. Our former A list actress never misses the chance to talk smack about her perceived competition and will say anything to anyone to have the chance to host the show." [CDaN]

6. "Long time readers of Holy Moly may remember a story we ran in 1996 about an up-and-coming actor earning a crust by recording scripts for gay sex chatlines. The fact that he was going under an assumed name hasn't stopped the guy he recorded with getting in touch again. We'd forgotten all about him to be honest but, now he's a new reality TV star, the tapes are now hot property. The mole adds: 'I asked him if he was gay, he said he wasn't fussy. We ended up energetically recreating our fictional work later on that evening in a cheap hotel. I am so not proud.'" [Holy Moly]

1. "We have heard from a friend of this gay male escort that the escort is claiming to be involved in a romantic relationship with this Television and Film actor (whose sexuality remains ambiguous). The escort has been snapped with the star before, and even gone to events with him, but is claiming to have been in a relationship, one that is on and off. Not Chace Crawford." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This famous actor is a husband and a father and a role model to adoring fans. He's also a liar and a cheater and an adulterer and a magnet for women who want to sample the goods. While he doesn't have as much to lose as Tiger if his trysts were ever made public, he is a bit more careful about covering his tracks. In addition to his friends and family cell phone, he also carries a pre-paid cell phone solely for his booty calls. There is no announcement with his name on the voicemail, just a robotic phone number that could belong to anyone. And if he has to leave a message for anyone else on their cell, he doesn't leave his name, just "Hi, it's me returning your call," along with his number and a voice mail about "taking a meeting about a project." It's all about the plausible deniability. Does his wife know about this phone? Well, she does now, because we know she reads this site. Sorry about that, Girl, but you knew he was a dog long before you married him." [BlindGossip]

3. "This A list tweener has a problem. Well more than one problem but there are some things that can never be taught. Anyway, she had a boyfriend. Not exactly being a role model she got his name tattooed on her body in a place most people won't see for a few more months. Now though, she has a bigger problem than what people say about her tattoo and its location. She has a different boyfriend and he doesn't like opening the presents so to speak and seeing another name so our tweener is going to change it but can't decide if it should be the new boyfriend's name or something generic like don't chew gum with your mouth open." [CDaN]

1. "Who's been behaving even more badly behind the scenes? This guy! He's been famous for such a long time, he's become quite the narcissist. He just doesn't think the rules of life and scandals apply to him. Everyone loves me! Nobody will believe an opportunistic cocktail waitress over me! Well, Dude, what about two cocktail waitresses, two club hosts, a couple of hookers, and a stripper or two? Oh, yes, they'll be crawling out of the woodwork now. You can't blame the media for your bad behavior. You can't shill for millions of dollars of consumer goods as the epitome of a good guy and then claim privacy when it comes to light that your good guy act is a sham. Take your lumps and quit blaming everyone else, and you'll get past this scandal a lot faster." [BlindGossip]

2. "Coke mom doesn't get to spend all that much time with her child/ren. You would think what time she does spend with her child/ren would be quality. Well, nothing like this lesson. Coke Mom has her child/ren with her last week when she decided to stop by her dealer's house and make a buy. Well, Coke Mom wanted to be a good mom so decided bringing her child/ren into the house would probably not be a good idea. So, Coke Mom left her child/ren in the car while she bought some coke, took the time to sample some and the next thing you know there is a knock at the front door and it is Coke Mom's child/ren asking to use the bathroom because it has been two hours." [CDaN]

3. "This married B List Actress (Film and Television) had a very good Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're only hearing about it now, because soon the snow is going to hit the fan so to speak, but the whole story started back last November. Our Actress was at Thanksgiving with the family when she and her brother-in-law went for a so-called ‘grocery run.' Someone claimed they had run out of something silly like pie or whipped cream and both the Actress and the Brother-in-law volunteered to run to the store to go get it. The family was preoccupied so no one noticed how long the errand took, or the fact that when the two returned, their clothes were rumpled and they were panting and red-faced. That was allegedly the first incident. The next occurred at Christmas time when the couple met up again in the bathroom of the house they were having a party at. (As a side note, we heard that one of the little nieces or nephews were outside pounding on the door the whole time.) Anyway, the story goes that this Actress and her new lover only hook-up at family parties and gatherings and they get off on the fact that no one knows. However, the brother-in-law let it slip to a friend, who told our source and we're guessing the little family secret won't be quiet for long. Oh yeah, we hear the brother-in-law is married too.

Well, it turns out this couple has managed to not let anyone important find out yet and have decided to make it a yearly tradition. Back when we posted this Blind Item we got a few legal calls that kept us from revealing it, but this time, we heard it from a second source that hinted that on Thanksgiving the two naughty in-laws had a little second helping of love right before dessert. Maybe, just maybe we'll get to reveal this one soon!" [BuzzFoto]

1. "This A list female country singer just keeps on winning people over. At a recent event a paraplegic teenager in a wheelchair had been waiting with his mom for about two hours so he could meet his favorite singer and get her autograph and hopefully a picture with her. Well, after the event, the singer came by and said, "Don't you look cute in that chair." The teenager then asked for the singer's autograph and she said, "Oh sorry, not today, I'm too tired, but I hope you feel better soon." She then walked away." [CDaN]

2. "We don't want to come off as judgmental, but this item seems a little on the ‘taking advantage' side. This baby mama of a B/C lister has signed up for a Christmas charity for the third year in a row. Not signed up to donate, but to receive- as in getting new bikes, clothes, toys etc. for her little ones. We're not sure if she needs it or if she's taking advantage, but we do know the daddy seems to have plenty of money. Makes you wonder. Not Jude Law." [BuzzFoto]

3. "Some grownups enjoy a game of dress up now and then. This popular actor, though, takes it to a whole new level. When you spend the night with him, you'd better have some serious wardrobe changes available. His current favorite is "The Skier and The Pool Boy". His attire? Just a grape smuggler, a pair of flip flops, and a leaf skimmer. If you're his date, however, be prepared to dress in full ski gear, including ski boots, ski goggles, and mittens. Oh, and those last three items have to be kept on during the entire evening. He really likes to see the goggles get fogged up." [Blind Gossip]

4. "Which annoyingly boring movie actress/blogger took a runner by surprise when he poked his head round her trailer door to call her up for a scene? Her fiancee's (at the time, also a famous star) feet could be seen poking out from underneath her dress, obviously giving her a full MOT. She looked up and calmly said 'Not now Carlo.' That then became the crews response to any request from anyone much to the bemusement of the vapid Oscar winner.' [HolyMoly]

1. "This aging, but still known for her looks former B list television star from one of the most popular dramas of all time shared a story about the first time she had sex with her second husband. He had seen her on television with her famous hair and they were doing what people do and he reached for her hair at some point and he pulled her entire wig off showing off her almost entirely bald head. Apparently the episode kind of removed the lift from his engine so to speak and it was several weeks before they tried again." [CDaN]

2. "We know parents can be protective of their kids, but this television actress really crossed the line. Her child had complained that they had been verbally bullied by some of the other students in their class. So, during a recent parent/teacher conference, Mom confronted the child's teacher about the bullying. Their discussion rapidly deteriorated into a shouting match, with the actress standing over the teacher and jabbing her finger at the teacher's face. She accused the teacher of encouraging the other children to pick on her child because the teacher was jealous of the actress. The flustered teacher then had to explain that she did not even know that the actress still had a television show on the air. This totally caught the actress off guard. She wound up mumbling an apology and slinking out the door a few minutes later." [Blind Gossip]

3. "These two actors have always had a friendly rivalry in the press. We hear it's more friendly for one than the other. The bigger star, who has had more high profile movies and relationships does not know that the lesser celebrity is extremely jealous of him. We've learned that the jealous star has tried (unsuccessfully) to sabotage the work of the bigger star. But worst of all, he bragged to a friend of our source that he thinks he could break up the high profile relationship of his rival. He explained a plan he has to ‘test' the lady lover and believes he can steal her away, if only for one night. Not Matt Damon." [BuzzFoto]

1. "This super skinny A/B lister has always blamed her skinny weight on her incredible metabolism and good genes. Well, we know that every time she goes out to a restaurant, she purges her food in the bathroom. That's not the gossip here. The real story is why she does it. Her eating disorder apparently started as a diet competition between her and another celeb starlet. The two were competing for a very big role a few years ago (a role which our actress did not get) and the two openly made a goal to "underweight" one another. The celeb who got the part, lost the weight in a healthy way and moved on, but our star's ED stuck. So sad! Not Megan Fox." [BuzzFoto]

2. "As if this famous athlete doesn't have enough dang problems right now, you can add a couple more to the list. His wife knew that he had relied on a certain substance in the past to relieve his extreme bouts with performance anxiety. However she did not know until a couple of days ago that he has been experimenting with other substances that could get flagged during testing. The second problem he has is his penchant for women who are paid handsomely to be discreet about their extra-curricular activities with him. Word is that he likes to be punished for his bad behavior. He was subjected to harsh discipline from an early age, and he tells the women that he needs them to continue that tradition in order for him to be perfect. But don't expect either of these habits to come to the forefront in the coming months. Everyone is getting paid off to lie or to keep their trap shut." [Blind Gossip]

3. "At a recent movie premiere this married foreign born B-/C+ list movie actor appeared to out this former A list tweener and now B list movie actor. At the premiere our foreign born actor said to a group of people standing next with him, "well you know ______ is gay." He said it very loudly and in the same room as the former tweener, although he wasn't overheard by the former tweener. The former tweener's C list actress girlfriend was not in attendance but ourforeign born B- list movie actress wife was." [CDaN]

4. "Which openly gay journalist/author is secretly dating a male doctor from NY Presbyterian Hospital? The romance has to stay secret because no one knows the doctor is gay."
[P6]

5. "Which Wall Street wheeler-dealer and his wife have infuriated their horse-riding neighbors in upstate Bedford by closing off the bridle paths that riders had used for generations? 'It's really galling because they are weekenders who aren't even here most of the time,' said a neighbor." [P6]

1. "We've been saving this one for Thanksgiving time and you should know this story happened last year at a certain Celebrity's Thanksgiving table. It's no secret to the guests that came, but we still thought it was pretty interesting/strange and wanted to share it. Last year, this actress who has bragged about her cooking skills in the past, made a great Thanksgiving dinner for her friends and family. The dinner had a theme: Each guest was asked to bring a side dish laced with their favorite recreational drug of choice. The dinner was a hit, and full of crazy antics afterwards. Not Eva Longoria." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This celebrity couple is spinning some tall tales this Thanksgiving. They have each told their respective families that they can't attend Thanksgiving with them because their spouse has a film commitment out of town and they need to accompany them. Not true. Neither of them are working that day. They are actually just turning off their phones and staying home. Just them and the kid/s… and one spouse's Significant Other. How are they going to keep the kid/s quiet about how they really spent the holiday? Well, these two are such experienced liars, we'll bet their genes have already been passed down to the next generation." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Which up and coming Twilight actress lied about her background and said she lost her birth certificate so she would qualify for her part? She has told everyone she is adopted and Native/First Nations, but in reality has biological parents who raised her and is most definitely not Native/First Nations." [CDaN]

1. "We're not even sure why the magazines keep pushing it, but this couple who are said to be romantically involved, are actually nothing but. Sure, they're having fun playing with the press, but it's mostly because they are told it would be a good marketing strategy for their career. Everyone around them knows however, that they are just good friends, not lovers. One in all the media buzz is actually rumored to swing the other way. Not Chace Crawford." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This is the fourth time this actress has had her breasts done. The first time was supposed to be a simple enlargement. After kids she had them done a second time. While many women have breasts that don't match perfectly, hers were so lopsided that she had to wear an insert to even them out. The third time, the breasts were evenly sized, but looked rather cross-eyed if they weren't taped into position. Now they're perfect. But don't expect her to disclose any of this any time soon. She's had plenty of other plastic surgeries, and still denies, denies, denies she's ever had any work done." [Blind Gossip]

1. "There is a film that won't be in the theaters for at least another year. The schedule got pushed back because of casting issues. They were casting the male and female leads at approximately the same time. However, as soon as the female lead found out that a certain actor was ready to sign on the project, she bailed out, and the role had to be recast. The reason? The actress had some history with the actor. No, they hadn't dated before. But the actor did have a torrid affair with the actress' ex while they were dating. Instead of blaming her ex, she blamed the actor. She thinks that the actor is so charismatic and so charming that he must have manipulated her ex into doing something the ex greatly regretted down the road. There is still a lot of bad blood among the three of them. A couple of extra hints: the ex is also in the acting biz, and all three of these people usually have dark hair." [Blind Gossip]

2. "You just never know when and where you will run into a former A list television actor and producer and now a stumbling C list parody. Anyway, on Wednesday, our actor was in a drug store in Aldergrove, British Columbia, looking at herbal supplements. While he was looking a fellow customer grazed our actor with her basket. At that point our actor said, "watch where you are going," and being in Canada hip checked the woman into a neighboring shelf. The actor was in the store looking for a special herb. Why? The herb is the only one our actor trusts for eliminating the odor of booze on his breath. Our actor was also kicked out of a pizza place the night before for being drunk. The only time in the history of the place it had ever kicked out anyone." [CDaN]

3. "This female singer has a very unique hair style. She said she came up with the idea on her own. I'm sure she did after the fact. It was necessitated though by the fact she got into a fight with her idiot A list singer/producer boyfriend who took a pair of scissors and cut huge chunks of hair off our female singer's head." [CDaN]

4. "So what do you do if you are a brand new C list celebutard who in your mind thinks you are A list? Why you go up to women and start hitting on them and generally making an ass of yourself. This is especially evident when you walk up to a C+/B- list television actress from a hit for this network drama who is already known for not being friendly and who responds to the horrible pick up lines by saying, "Who in the f**k are you? Are you 12?" When the celebutard answered her our actress just laughed and turned away and told our celebutard to find someone else. Our celebutard then walked away with his bodyguard in tow. Yes, he really has a bodyguard and it really is funny." [CDaN]

The listing, preserved here for posterity, goes like this:

Reply to: job-ub4ww-1475290617@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

ATTN: I'm getting a lot of sarcastic emails. Don't bother sharing your wit with me: it's been done. And done. This is an UNPAID internship intended for a STUDENT and is a RESEARCH position that will give him experience and position on a prestige project. If you can't afford to work in a role that offers credit only, but no renumeration, this isn't for you. If you're the sort of person who has the spare time to respond sarcastically to Craigslist postings, this REALLY isn't for you. Thanks.

I'm working on a memoir, set in 1983, when I lived with Obama for a year.

The memoir is about my life and about what New York was like in 1983, and how we lived then, but Barack is obviously a player in the story. This is not a tell-all, it's a friendly, gentle and literate book.

I work full time in a highly visible career and would like to work with a research assistant to help me stay focused.

This is you:

You live in Manhattan and can visit the Village frequently.
Your living situation is stable, as is your personal life.
Your income is stable.
You can work with a six month window. (ok, maybe a year. it depends.)
You are a fantastic and empathetic listener.
You're creative and imaginative and a fine writer. You can shape material.
You don't drink or use drugs. No psychological disorders I have to deal with.
You are in a graduate writing program at NYU or Columbia.
You want an opportunity to work on a visible book.
You are dependable, timely, punctual and highly motivated to succeed.

This is an internship, not a paid position.

I have already begun, finally, this week, after thinking about it for a the last year. Now is the time. My agent is waiting on the first 100 pages. Let's go.

* Compensation: non-paying internship
* This is an internship job
* Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
* Please, no phone calls about this job!
* Please do not contact job poster about other services, products or commercial interests.

PostingID: 1475290617

So: who do we have who needs an "intern" who is also in a graduate writing program? Or, otherwise: which Upper West Side asshole friend of Obama's hepcat days is now enough of a square to need an unpaid slave to help write their feeder-fish book and expect to be paid in the form of, maybe, a thank you in a book that has yet to be written on one year of Obama's life?

Have you applied for the job? You got any guesses? Shoot us an email or throw it in the comments. We'd love to know, 'cause, you know: we've got questions, too.

1. "This married/aging actress has put up with a lot throughout her celebrity marriage. She's practically raised the kids on her own, dealt with scandals and cheating and still managed to put on a happy face on the red carpet. Within this next year, she plans to finally leave her husband and make the divorce public. The current final straw? Not other women or drugs, but an addiction to World of Warcraft. We kid you not. Not Catherine Zeta Jones" [BuzzFoto]

2. "There is an actor on a television series who seems like he would be an interesting character to live with. That might not be the case for his wife, however. A couple of weeks ago, our actor came home from work a lot earlier than usual and found his wife in the hot tub with a neighbor of theirs. The neighbor, who is also an actor, is best known for his role on a classic TV show. The wife and neighbor, who were sitting on the same side of the hot tub and were somewhat intertwined when the actor emerged from the house, both jumped up, obviously startled. The neighbor explained that they were in the hot tub together because he had pulled his hamstring muscle playing tennis earlier that day, and the actor's wife had been kind enough to let him use the hot tub, to show him some stretching exercises, and to share a glass of wine with him. While we don't know if there is a generally accepted seating plan when it comes to neighbors and hot tubs, we think that this particular arrangement sounds mighty suspicious." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This former B list tween female singer and now a messed up D has made some very bad decisions over the past year or so but none compare to the one she made at a party in the past few nights. Since breaking up with her D list reality boyfriend she has been on the lookout for someone who can help with her career and put her back in the spotlight. Well, she found a B list rap star and he has been helping her out and paying for expenses, providing her drugs and has promised to help her with her new record. Everything was going fine until the party the other night when he threatened to take it all away unless she orally serviced a few of his friends at the party. She did. Stay tuned because she is going to a bigger party this week." [CDaN]

1. "This Hollywood Nice Guy Actor is actually anything but. We hear rumors, but cannot confirm, that he is actually very physically and verbally abusive to his spouse and family. This happens when he drinks mostly, but lately, he's back into the hard, hard drugs and then his antics get worse. He has brought women home and the wife has had to be the one to kick them out and help sober up the star. She's staying with him because she believes it would hurt the children more if they separated and she's worried about public image. Not Matt Damon." [BuzzFoto]

2. "There has been a lot of speculation over the past couple of months about her weight gain. Well, she's pregnant. However, due to a previous miscarriage, she will not be announcing until the cocoon is well into the second trimester. Will she start wearing more clothes when she becomes a mother? We hope so. Frankly, we think the girl is way too obsessed with spandex." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This really good looking A list movie actor has always had some questions raised about his sexuality. It turns out though that his female significant other is the one who, with the full knowledge of our actor has had a very long term affair with another woman who is also her business partner." [CDaN]

1. "This celebrity had a little malfunction last week. No, it wasn't a wardrobe malfunction (although she does have great style). It was a technical malfunction. Our celebrity, a television actress, is dating a non-famous guy. While she was out socializing late one night last week, she sent him a very private text message… along with a revealing photo of a private part of her anatomy. Unfortunately, instead of sending it to her boyfriend, she sent it to his mother (whose name was right below his in her directory). Whoops. The morals of this story – which we would love to see as a PSA – are: Don't drink and drive. Don't drink and text. Don't drink and photograph your hooha." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This A list female celebrity chef was overheard in a restaurant the other day. Nothing unusual about that right? I mean people are nosy and we strain our ears. Well, it turns out this celebrity chef who is married was discussing an affair she recently had with this B list male singer with A list name recognition and reputation. She wasn't shy about discussing the details either. I mean explicit, graphic details about what the two did to each other. Nothing out of the ordinary, but definitely not shy in recounting every last act. It does appear to have been a one time thing, but this is totally not what you expect from our chef and the image she tries to portray to the public." [CDaN]

3. "This Celebrity A/B list Dad, who is very loving and by all accounts a great father, has been dealing with a wayward child. The child, who has cost his family lots of time, money and energy because of his antics is now knee-deep into drugs. Along with that comes some very bad connections that can be very harmful and dangerous. Our celeb father has tried countless times to help his son, and after several interventions and other attempts, has never given up. We just heard from a source that this son just robbed his dad and took a large amount of money as well as priceless items to feed his addiction and to pay off some of these bad people. We will not be revealing this one because it is such a hard and private matter and we believe the dad has acted like any loving father would. We just thought it was an interesting story to share and maybe more commonplace than everyone would like to think. Not Tom Hanks." [BuzzFoto]

1. "This B- list television (hit network drama)and movie (meh) actress is known for being adventurous sexually but her latest twist is something that goes into a whole new realm. Over the past few years she has been seeing one particular C list cable actor and in the past few months he has been seeing not only the actress but also her mom. The actress knows about it, encourages it and makes it a condition of their continued romance." [CDaN]

2. "This television star has gained a lot of weight over the past couple of years. Because this has been an ongoing issue, s/he has started seeing a therapist to get to the root of the problem. It turns out that the star's hypocrisy in living one life in public – and a different one in private – creates anxiety and depression which, in turn, trigger binge eating. According to the therapist, the issue will not be resolved until our star comes out of the closet. The star is actually considering it, but is worried about the timing of the announcement, and its potential career and financial impact. Will their career wither? Will their finances suffer? While we don't know for sure, we do know that a competitor who has done so is thriving in a similar career." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Over the weekend, this award winning actress, who is supposed to be sober, was hardly discreet at the dinner table of an event when she did a line of cocaine that was in her compact. Not Christina Ricci." [BuzzFoto]

4. "There is a blog called PostSecret where people send in anonymous secrets and confessions in the form of a postcard. A current postcard reads " The morning after you hit our 10-year-old daughter, we all stood there and watched as a fan asked you for your autograph." The postcard is not embellished, and no other clues are given. Who could it be?" [Blind Gossip]

1. "These two celebrity couples aren't super close friends in public, but it's clear that they know each other. Everyone knows that the male half of Couple A used to work with the female half of Couple B over a period of time. Yes, we know, there were rumors flying around at the time that those two were involved in an off-screen fling. Although it was good publicity for the project, it's not true. But there was something more insidious going on behind the scenes. Something that didn't make the tabloids.

It turns out the female half of Couple A and the male half of Couple B were both so distraught over the rumors that their mates were cheating on them that they wound up spending a lot of time comforting each other. The comforting became so frequent and so physical that it resulted in a pregnancy. Now Couple A raising a child that is only half theirs. Fortunately for them, the child looks more like the Couple A mother than the Couple B father, but those in the know can definitely see the Couple B father in the facial features. One additional hint: all of the people involved have been actors at some point." [Blind Gossip]

1. "This engaged star goofed up last month. Although he is set to be married sometime in the future, and seems like a devoted boyfriend, we hear he had a little 'slip' in a nightclub bathroom. Our source said the cheating happened in the men's room, but will not comment if the other person involved was male or female. Not John Krasinski." [BuzzFoto]

2. "He is the lead actor of a current television series. He comes across as such a nice normal guy that it is hard to believe he is really odd behind closed doors. He likes it rough. No, not like "spank my butt" rough. More like "use your stiletto heel to step on my privates" rough. He can't get his wife to engage in these activities, but there are several women on the side with four-inch heels at the ready." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This actress/member of band/reality star recently had an operation to restore a good portion of one of her ears. She and her boyfriend got into an argument. He got her in a headlock and pulled all of her earrings out without removing the backs. With makeup and her long hair she can hide it from a distance but up close it is a mess and parts of her ear are a different color than others." [CDaN]

1. "This famous celebrity husband (mostly known for comedy) with a non-famous wife has convinced his spouse that every couple in Hollywood has threesomes. His wife was incredibly reluctant and refused for years, but he's threatened divorced and told her that bringing in another partner into their marriage just comes with the territory when you marry someone famous. Our source says the wife seems really insecure about the marriage and worried that she is going to lose the star, has finally decided to hire a prostitute for his upcoming birthday. Not Steve Carell." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This actor has been fighting off rumors about his sexuality for years. That's why it is curious that he isn't publicly announcing that he is engaged to be married to a very pretty girl. You would think that he would want to shout it from the hill tops, and soak up all the hetero kudos it would bring him. Instead, he's keeping it very quiet. We can only think of three reasons for this. First, that he is not as committed as the engagement implies. Second, that he doesn't want to scare off potential gay partners. Third, that he doesn't want any attention. Wait, scratch that last one. He loves the limelight. We smell disaster all over this one." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Which young urban act filmed themselves on their mobile phones shagging groupies then sat around watching the footage together on their tour bus? They invited one of their crew to join, or at the very least watch, but when he made excuses on account of the fact that he had a wife at home, the boys were incredibly apologetic and told him they didn't mean to disrespect his wife. How sweet." [PopBitch]

1. "He's a movie star, he is married, and he is gay. Out of respect for his wife, though, he only allows a boy in his bed when either one of the couple is traveling. Thoughtful, right? Well, it's rather creepy, because the last couple of guys he has been with bear a strange resemblance to his wife. So is he picking the boys because they resemble his wife, or did he pick his wife because she resembles the kind of boy he likes? Hard to say, but in either case, he has no intention of coming out of the closet any time soon. Oh, and yes, they are practically boys. He likes them young, but is pretty careful about them being of legal age." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This married A list television reality producer has always had a revolving door policy when it comes to the women with whom he has sex. However it seems that he has finally found just one woman he wants to have as his mistress and has cast the others aside. He wants to remain faithful to this mistress who also happens to be a B list reality star who seems to never have a boyfriend that sticks. Now you know why." [CDaN]

3. "This TV actor has been out of work for some time now, occasionally picking up spots here or there. (You might have even seen him in a commercial or two). He recently had a huge movie deal offer where he could play the supporting role of a very big name, but he turned it down because he felt it was beneath him. Not John Lehr." [BuzzFoto]

1. "These Celebrity BFFs are now settled in their lives and careers. Over drinks this last weekend, one of the stars told our source that in the beginning of the friendship, the ladies weren't sure if their budding friendship was something more. So, to test the waters, the two had a little make-out session, and got the urge out of their systems. After the little romp, the two laughed it off and decided their chemistry was strictly platonic. The two have been good buddies every since. Not Jennifer Aniston." [Buzz Foto]

2. "This good-looking and award-winning male actor has always been known as being rather vain. That's why it should come as no surprise that he is asked the director to help him mask his weight gain (he is a good 25-35 pounds heavier than when he first landed the role). He is especially self-conscious about how he appears when filmed from the side. We don't think he looks that bad with the extra weight (he has always been built like a tank), but the wardrobe person has fitted him with a men's compression girdle to help smooth him out. Just don't expect to see him unbuttoning his suit any time soon." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This Twilight star has joked about their big role before to the press, downplaying the appeal of the plot and movie and books. The star revealed to our source that they have now actually read the books and now has become a huge fan! Not Rob Pattinson." [Buzz Foto]

1. "Apparently this former B list movie actor and now probably a C, although with close to A name recognition has been scrambling because his beard relationship with his C list movie actress could be sinking quickly. The reason? Our actor thought he was on a private beach when he decided to lay out naked with his boyfriend. The next thing he knew, there were groups of tourists from a nearby hotel walking by and he is scared that someone recognized him and took pictures." [CDaN]

2. "This Hollywood couple's marriage is on the rocks. He may be the more famous of the two, but she has definitely been an important trophy wife for him. Since he still wants to save his marriage, it would be extremely inappropriate for him to be seen dating anyone. So, instead, he has been hiring girls for overnight dates at several thousand dollars a pop. Since he only lasts about five minutes, the girls are making about one thousand dollars a minute. However, they are obliged to stay awake while he whines on for hours about how upset he is that his marriage is falling apart. Does anyone else see the irony here?" [Blind Gossip]

3. "This C list television and movie actress has had quite the ride the past few years. She is probably as famous for one of her past relationships as she is for her acting. Anyway she used to be on a fairly hit cable show until two things happened. The producers of the show got tired of having their B+ list star of the show having sex with her and the star was starting to smoke too much meth with her to the point that nothing was getting done except the pair of them having sex and smoking meth." [CDaN]

1. "Dr. Arnie Klein – Michael Jackson's dermatologist – just did an interview with Harvey Levin of TMZ. One of the topics they discussed was Michael Jackson's peculiar habit of whipping out his privates in front of other people (including children) to pee in a cup so that he wouldn't have to walk down the hallway to the bathroom. Dr. Klein said he didn't think that the habit was all that unusual. Then he told a short story of a female country singer he knew. He said that she told him that when she lived in the country, she would purposely pee in the bed every night just to stay warm. Who might he be talking about?" [Blind Gossip]

2. "Remember when we told you about the wealthy singer who brings in a body-double for a wife, you know, to rub his feet and take care of him for her? Well, we heard that she also brings in a 'sex instructor' who coaches the husband on how to pleasure her correctly. The husband watches as the instructor demonstrates on the singer what's right and what's wrong. Not Christina Aguilera." [BuzzFoto]

3. "Which huge pop star is the subject of a ridiculous whispering campaign claiming he's the subject of an underage sex police investigation?" [PopBitch]

4. "This former B list television actress and now C list movie actress has been single for awhile. Maybe not for long though. At a recent event, our actress was supposed to walk the runway at a fashion show. When her time to walk approached, no one could find her. People were running around looking for her. They finally found her, umm, in her dressing room in the midst of full on sex. When told she needed to be on stage that second, she jumped up, pulled down her dress and walked the runway." [CDaN]

1. "This B/C list Celebrity will announce her upcoming pregnancy soon, but don't be fooled; it's a stunt. Sure, it's legit. There's a real life baby in her belly, but what her boyfriend doesn't know is that she skipped her pills on purpose because she feared an impending breakup. We know there are rumors of his wandering eye, and maybe she thought a child would refocus his vision. Not Ashlee Simpson (although we wouldn't be surprised to hear her make a similar announcement in the upcoming months)." [BuzzFoto]

2. "You may already know that this family has one child in trouble. Perhaps it's the result of his famous acting parents constant fighting. Will they ever go their separate ways? He's not the only kid in his family acting out, though. Daddy's little princess is also into the kinds of things that horrify parents – alcohol, drugs, and sex. Yep. All three. It's all pretty hush-hush at this point, but you might see a second surprise hit the press pretty soon." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This A list female country singer was hired to shoot a video of her just talking. She was given the script ahead of time and had cue cards at the ready. She came in the morning after a concert in a nearby town and was put in hair and makeup. A room was especially decorated for her to shoot the video in. The building was cleared for only essential people and the camera started rolling. And rolling. And rolling. Because for all of her posturing and songs of "I am a strong, smart woman" our singer couldn't even read her cue cards right. Also, "uh" is one of the main words in her vocabulary. The crew, ever the professionals, stuck it out waiting for her to get her few lines right. After a few hours, the director called it a day and said they have what they need and proceeds to try to edit those few lines into something passable. He had to use a lot more video of her singing then he thought he would but he made it work." [CDaN]

1. "This B+/A- list closeted television actress from a hit network drama was having drama of her own in the bathroom as her girlfriend was complaining that she felt left out and wanted to meet our actress' friends. Our actress kept her head on a swivel while trying to keep the conversation as quiet as possible. The girlfriend is very, very young and a gorgeous blonde." [CDaN]

2. "Which comedian has a penchant for rent boys? The comic regularly orders £1,000-a-night lads - but is always polite enough to offer them a cup of tea after. Your extra clue: Not many funny men could afford this." [UK Mirror]

3. "This C+/B- list television actress formerly on one of the most interesting shows of all time which is still on the air went around the event asking almost everyone if they had just a little bump of coke she could have to get through the night. Our actress is in the midst of a career transition." [CDaN]

4. "Two Actresses (both who can sing) were competing for a movie role. The movie involves singing and the role has now been filled. We have now heard that the reason one actress was chosen over the other for the upcoming film had little to do with talent. The one with that landed the coveted role has a ‘history' with the director and threatened to reveal some dirt on him if she wasn't cast. Coincidence? We think not. Not Anne Hathaway." [BuzzFoto]

5."Whenever we look at this actress' face, we think "she looks weird". Are her cheeks higher? Did she get her eyes lifted? Are her boobs larger? Is it the frozen Botoxed forehead? The Restylane-pumped lips? Actually, it's all but one of the above. Girl, where are your parents? Are they actually encouraging this? If you feel the necessity to get all this plastic work done while you are still young and pretty, we're expecting that by the time you hit 40, you are going to look like a freak show act. We actually thought you earned jobs because you had talent, but who can focus on your acting when you are starting to look like an alien?" [Blind Gossip]

1. "Two marriages. Two cheats. Two men kicked to the curb. Actually from what I heard the first one may have been literally kicked to the curb. The first marriage involves a celebutard and his B list actress wife on a hit television show. He cheats almost constantly and doesn't care who knows it. He knows that his wife doesn't want to be seen as a failure so he takes advantage of that and keeps on cheating. The second marriage is even easier to guess than the first. Actor and a singer. What you might not know though is that the actor has been to scared to even cross paths with his wife except in the most public of places for fear that she will go off on him physically and verbally. To say that she is going through this event quietly would be very wrong. In fact, just this morning everyone in LaGuardia airport could hear her yelling at him on the phone." [CDaN]

2. "This movie actress has been very vocal to inner circle about her clock ticking. She wants to be a bride and have a baby with her current famous beau, ASAP – not necessarily in that order. One warning to the guy: Don't be a fool. She doesn't really love you. This is all a game to her. She is actually telling friends and family that she thinks you're an idiot – but a moldable, rich, famous, good-looking idiot who brings her more attention than she can get as a solo act. She will date you at the peak of your fame, and will lose you as soon as your star fades. Then again, we don't know why we are warning him about her, when he is almost as bad as her." [Blind Gossip]

3. "When the idea for this show was invented, there were a lot of people who believed in it. They were worried about getting the concept out there, and even more worried that the networks wouldn't think it worth their time to produce it. To get this new show off the ground, the creators did a little ‘creative accounting' to fund the project. They cooked the books a little in order to get the network to pick up on it. Now that this show is a hit, the Production company is scrambling to pay off debts and get things back in order before someone finds out. Not an NBC show." [BuzzFoto]

1. "This actor has dozens of TV shows and films to his credit. You would think that all that work would have made him the consummate professional. Not really. Instead, it's turned him into a know-it-all about the role of everyone around him. He is constantly interrupting the director and the other actors with tips about how they can make their scene better. Everyone around him gets annoyed, but he is such a big star, they know that it's usually easier to simply accommodate his wishes than to battle him on set.
Perhaps he feels the need to assert himself on the set because things are so out of control on the home front? Surprisingly, his real-life primary relationship doesn't put up with his domineering ways at home. She gets in his face and asserts her own position, usually to her benefit. If they are having a squabble – which is happening a lot lately – he sleeps in the guest room. The couple reportedly hasn't engaged in personal relations in more than two months." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This is the scariest blind I have and I actually first posted it way back in June of 2007...A fairly minor producer died within the past month or so. It wasn't really noteworthy for the most part, but there were three or four very happy actors to see him pass. All of the actors are aging, but not George Burns old or anything. In fact, they are still A list at least by reputation. Could they carry a movie OR television show on their own anymore? Probably not. Are they regularly in movies AND television? Yes. See, back in the day there was a party like you could only have in Hollywood's glory days. Martinis, cigars and lots of beautiful women. Well it turns out that one of the beautiful women didn't go home at the end of the night. There was some incident involving either five or six actors. Two have died. Not knowing what to do, these actors got a studio gofer, now our dead producer and told him to get rid of the body and not tell anyone about it or tell anyone where the body was buried. Throughout the remainder of the producer's life, these actors took care of him, but were always afraid he would spill the secret because he was the only one who knew where the body was buried. No body, no case. Now, they are just worried that something will show up in the estate sale and some person will stumble onto a letter or some other evidence hidden in a desk drawer which will come back to haunt them. Maybe that's why one of the actors offered to buy the house with everything in it at a price that is twice what the place is worth. Still waiting to see if it will be accepted, but there won't be an estate sale yet for sure. The actors think they are being careful and that their true motives are unknown. Not at all the case, but the producer's widow is happy to take their money and be done with it. One hint is they have all been in at least one western. Although it could be on television OR in a movie." [CDaN]

1. "Which Celebrity mom and network TV star with a teenage daughter just walked in to find her underage little girl doing a line with one of her adult co-stars? Not Teri Hatcher." [BuzzFoto]

2. "A few years ago, it seemed this actress was cast in nearly every project. However, after an initial burst of fame, she wasn't very discriminating about which roles she picked. A few bombs later, she fell out of the limelight. Wanting to make a comeback with a strong new look, she cut her long hair into a shorter, more contemporary style. Bad move. She was now too boyish looking to land anything. So she had hair extensions put in using a glue bonding process to return her to a more feminine look. Prior to one audition, she made the mistake of using a hot iron to straighten her hair. During the audition, she ran her fingers through her hair a little too roughly and pulled out a couple of the extensions right in front of the director. She was left standing there with a fistful of hair and a very red face, babbling about how she couldn't understand how this could possibly happen when she paid so much money for the extensions, etc." [BlindGossip]

3. "This past weekend this C list cable reality star who had his own show spoke at an event addressing tattoos, taboos and Jews but he did talk a bit about his TV show as well. As an admittedly non-practicing Jew he was asked if he had any Jewish tattoos. His reply? "I have a dollar sign on my hand." Some in the audience laughed, most did not. Know your audience dude. He recognized how reality TV had changed his life financially for the better and that it opened many doors for him, but he also spent considerable time complaining about the show. He did not enjoy it and never wanted to do subsequent season(s) but was tied to obligations in his contract. He complained about how the producers wanted to make each episode about death. He felt less like an artist and more like he was playing psychiatrist to the customers. He seemed very bitter about the experience." [CDaN]
