I Love Blind Items ! #4

[melfreya]

^doesn't everyone knows it by now?

 

[Serenity*Now]

Exactly. I'm surprised that is even a blind.

^doesn't everyone knows it by now?

What a ridiculous "story"- New York Magazine and Gawker have had lots of items about him and his bf on vacation and where they have an apartment; does anyone still care about these things? You'd think it was the 1960s...

This is a probably a long shot, but perhaps #1 could be Jake Gyllennhal and Rashida Jones? I don't know too much about her, but I saw some pictures today of them hanging out and eating together etc.

Those two go way back and have been friends for a long time.

Also, this part is driving me crazy:

Even though he’s not an atheist, he has reported from plenty of foxholes.

It doesn't make any sense as written. The saying is, "There are no atheists in foxholes." The quoted statement from the BI would only make sense if the saying were, "There are only atheists in foxholes," since the 'even though' at the beginning suggests some contradiction between the first and second parts of the sentence that doesn't currently exist. There is no contradiction between (not an atheist) and (reporting from foxholes). [/pedantic]

In conclusion, Dear BI Writers, take your illiterate selves back to 8th grade English, then come back and try again.

LOL at 3. Nice move on the ex gf part. What a loser. God I hope it's not someone I like.

Anyone who's interested in fashion blinds, can y'all help out with this one? I know it's a little off the beaten track from the usual celeb blind but didn't know where else to put it.

darling hipster girl,

your so achingly 'cool' with your shy persona and your 90s style. You buy $2 thrifted havana shirts with pleated lolita skirts and creepers that your mom gave you, and work for Nylon, model for japanese Dazed and your best friends with the new Cory Kennedy. But the reality is your just another girl trying to get rich or blog tryin' and your not f*ing shy, nor are you cool. You have a sh*t blog, and you post sh*tty vintage photos and you make sh*t clothes. Your a moody **** who judges everyone based on how cool they are and your friends are all famous due to your mutual graduation from $$$ college. Hot shot fashion smashion magazines like you because the are equally ******** and only support rich kids like you. Everyone is a style icon if they can afford to wear AW11 prada. Dumbo.
Lastly your now a intern for super duper designer of the moment, wow, i guess you really are the next Anna Wintour. F* YOU F* YOU.

^tavi?

 

[Label Basher]

^^ That just sounds sad and I'm talking about the poster.

Is it that chick who hangs out with BryanBoy. I can't remember her name but she has long brown hair and has hipster written all over her.

 

[Drusilla_]

^ you mean Rumi of fashiontoast? There's the intern thing, though - that doesn't square up. I don't think she went to a super-fancy college either.

BI candidate is probably college-educated, works/has worked for Nylon, and has a blog and possibly some kind of vintage shop/clothing line, and is/has been some kind of intern at a designer's. Sounds like a fashion scenester type more than a model, but given how popular it's become to dress like the 90s, I'm racking my brain to figure out who it could be.

 

[cheepmunk]

I don't even know what to say about that. No, wait, let me try to paraphrase: "Sure, you went to a fabulous college and your family is filthy rich and you get to do whatever you want for a living and you and your friends are considered the cool kids, but you know what? I'm still glad I'm not you because YOU SUCK and your life SUCKS and my life is better than yours. It is, dammit! *sob*"

Honestly, I'm more interested in who might have written it than who it's about.

 

[Drusilla_]

^ me too, the person who wrote it is a model writing an anonymous blog (not a very well-known one though) but she's too difficult to take a guess at so I have to settle for the blind.

 

[Alvedansen]

could someone please direct that person to an english 101 course to help her/him realize that there's a difference between your and you're?
that person just sounds pressed

1.

What popular “American Idol” finalist has a major complex over his acne-scarred complexion? The flamboyant singer, who regularly undergoes hour-long makeup overhauls, is currently consulting with plastic surgeons to cover up his facial flaws.

3.

This A list movie actress who got her start way back in the day on television and then did some more along the way, let it slip the other day that she and her always a B list (for one role in particular) movie actor husband have not had sex in almost five years. It is kind of ironic if you think about it.

4.

Which RH Beverly Hills couple, despite giving off the appearance of being the most in love actually have the most marital issues and none of it began until the show did, which is ironic considering.... Half the time the couple does not even sleep in the same bed together.

5.

Which iconic ’70s rock star is driving his band mates and family crazy with his newly developed germ phobia? The Lysol-spraying, antibacterial-wiping musician won’t even kiss his wife until she first gargles with Listerine!

6.

After doing a recent round of promotions for her new movie, this B List actress had the chance to meet a Michael Jackson impersonator. She believed him to be the real deal. Apparently she doesn’t read or watch the news because she met up with all of her friends and told them she had met Michael. They thought she was making a poor joke, but once they realized she was serious, haven’t stopped laughing since. Our source says they plan to hire an Elvis impersonator for her upcoming birthday!

7.

These two foreign born actors seem to have always been the best of friends. Whether just hanging out or co-starring together, it just seems like where one goes the other follows. Both are critically acclaimed actors and are beloved in art houses. Both of them even look similar to each other.

Whoever writes the dlisted stuff needs to clean up..."Both of them even look similar to each other" - Oh, so it's not just one who is similar to the other then. Hello logic 101.

3. Sarah Jessica Parker? She starred in Sex and the City, which is why it's ironic.

Hee! I didn't even notice that.

These poorly written BIs are just sad. It's not that I think everyone should make perfect sense all the time, but when your job is to write blind items, put in some effort. Why so lazy? These people are being paid actual, honest-to-goodness money to write these things, so they should try to have at least the appearance of standards.

Adam Lambert for #1?

#3 - Apparently Russian mobsters are out in force this week and were also at Paris Fashion Week. They basically threaten every Eastern European model with bodily harm unless the model gives up almost everything they make during the shows. When one A++ list designer was told about the troubling trend, he said, " Why should I care about them? I have a show to do. The show is about my designs and the models are secondary. If one of my models gets hurt, I can find another one in a second."

Horrifying! I do remember reading an interview with Colette Pechekhonova back at the start of her career and she mentioned how paranoid she was about publications printing how much she makes and what contracts she is getting...because apparently her family was being harassed.

 

[amani56]

How terrifying! That blind really makes me sad. I never imagined that this was happening to these girls.

 

[kokobombon]

Wasn´t one of the theories behind Ruslana´s death that the russian mob killed her?
