I watched that Rock Hudson documentary. Did we talk about James Dean being kept by a gay man when we went on the deep dive into his moving to Canada and faking his death?

The actor that plays Spock in the newer movies, Zachary Quinto, is. I know that actor from AHS, I’m pretty doubtful I had any clue he’s the new Spock. I appreciate the attempt. It’s going to bug me trying to figure out who I’m confusing Nimoy with. I only knew he was the new Spock because of The Big Bang Theory and Sheldon's disappointment at getting a cardboard cutout of Zachary Quinto instead of Leonard Nimoy LOL

Our actor was A list. He was a crazy party animal who did a lot of drugs and died because of drugs. Everyone knows about his drug use, but his sexual habits are just now coming to light. He was recently mentioned in a recent scandalous documentary, where a valet revealed that he was into his blood being drawn during sex and transgender prostitutes. He was also friends with this A list singer/musician from the same hometown as the actor, and they would regularly have threesomes with prostitutes and/or groupies he would pick up. To make things more strange, every so often, that crazy writer/author/movie subject would join them on their sex journeys.

This religious organization discovered who leaked information to a radio host for his death pool prediction about the actress who subsequently died a short time later. The organization sent some relatives of the leaker off to a base across the country from their home.

The alliterate one had lunch with the person who decides the replacement for certain very very high profile positions. Coming so close on the heels of an announcement seems more than a coincidence.

Being kept? Like in a the basement? Kept like, you are living off of someone else and presumably you are giving them sex. The expression, a "kept man", makes me think of a younger man/older lady situation being referenced, generally speaking.

Even as recently as two weeks ago, there was an instance of a girlfriend of an actor who had to delete 90% of her social media because of the thins she had written in the past which would cause the actor to have to answer questions about why he was with the girlfriend and would cause her to have to explain all of her racist and homophobic Tweets. I wrote a blind about the social media posts and within 48 hours, they were gone. I also made it clear that the actor didn't really care if she removed them or not. It was his team that made him tell her. I bet they break up in a few weeks.
A celebrity or in some cases like the one above, a significant other will remove horrible posts. That is usually as far as it goes. How many degrees of separation are really necessary? Well, in the case of this A list actor who used to be a superhero, the degrees of separation are numerous. The actor's girlfriend is foreign born. Her team and the actor's team have been going over her social media and removing as many posts as they can. There are so many truly awful posts, that it has taken some time. Her team is doing it to help renew the the show she stars on, even though I think she will bail on it, even if it is renewed. His team is making sure he has deniability and doesn't look like an idiot for dating someone who is clearly awful, at least on social media.
The problem his team is facing, and her team doesn't really care about are all of the replies and @a she did to her friends on all their social media posts. One of her best friends has a social media page that is littered with Nazi references and white nationalist imagery and a host of other horrible things. There are other friends who also have posts, just not as numerous. The actor's team is reaching out to all of the people who own those accounts and asking them to delete posts and replies or make their accounts private. There are dozens of accounts and the actor's team is working nonstop so none of it comes back to him. I wonder if the actor knows or cares.

I didn't think I would be writing this blind item for another year, but one of the guys who was caught up in the death of the former singing actor, got off probation a year early. It was already crazy that a guy facing a decade in jail for possession of child p**n and also distributing it to various local and statewide elected officials and government employees, got zero jail time, but that he gets off probation early too?
He was arrested shortly after the singing actor died. As I have said before, the singing actor had a lot of first time ever seen child p**n and then it showed up on the computer of the guy who just completed his probation. As far as I know, that was the only arrest made that was in any way connected to the singing actor. The guy arrested was using his government computer to send all of this out. None of the people he was sending it to were charged. Zero. Oh, did I mention this guy was in charge of finding good homes for children to be adopted? How many of the children ended up in the homes of celebrities or politicians? Were those same celebrities and politicians on his email distribution list? You know he didn't say anything which is why he had to serve zero jail time. None. The county wanted this closed and people to forget about it and forget about there were people on the other end of those emails and the other end of the server.

This B list mostly television actor was in a three named show that 95% of the time is referred to by fans with its initials. We knew his new girlfriend was nearly two decades younger than the actor. It turns out it is even a bigger age gap and that she is still a teen and not in her early 20's. She is legal, but it is super creepy.

Do you remember when the foreign born actress who quit the hit network show because she thought was above it all, got her younger sibling hooked on drugs and how it was way worse for the younger sibling. Yeah, at least it isn't as bad as this former A- list mostly television actress who did the same thing to her sibling, but now he is dead.

There will be no Hugh Grant or Eddie Murphy (technically he was only stopped by police and the prostitute in the car was the one arrested) ones in this list.
#1 - This A list mostly movie actor who is an Oscar winner/nominee has been hiding behind all his friends this year and succeeding. Maybe, things would be different if people started discussing his arrest for exposing himself to others without their consent.
#2 - This foreign born alliterate good guy actor everyone loves because of that television role, once got arrested for beating up a security guard while our actor was drunk.
#3 - This permanent A list athlete legend had a huge, high profile arrest that everyone remembers. What most people don't remember is that police questioned him about his relationship with his girlfriend/future wife because her parents wanted him arrested for statutory rape.
#4 - This actress was A- list. She has been nominated/won Emmy Awards for daytime and nighttime. She was arrested many years ago for DUI. People, may or may not remember that. What people don't know about is that she avoided arrest for drug smuggling by sleeping with the guy who was set to arrest her.
#1 - Brad Pitt
#2 - Joshua Jackson
#3 - Kobe Bryant
#4 - Anne Heche

This singer is permanently A+/A list. One of the true legends of our time and she is still very much alive. Although she is beloved, she is beloved only when we look the other way at one of her most important characters she liked to play. Yes, she is a singer, but yes, she had characters. She doesn't do that any longer, but for many years, she had a variety of characters she would portray. She would dress like them and act like them and live like she imagined they would live. She then, would use that version of her life to create music. The issue that everyone likes to ignore and the one that was probably the most problematic was when she decided to live on and off for many years as a black man. She would never be able to do that now and even then, everyone around her found it strange that she wanted to inhabit this character all the time. This character took over her life. He went to parties and weddings and concerts and the singer almost ceased to exist. This character even is on the cover of one of her albums and I guarantee if you look at the album, you would never know it is the singer. She did this for years, until one by one, her friends finally told her enough and a boyfriend she loved broke up with her because she chose the character over him.

In that "suicide" I wrote about yesterday, everyone questioned how you could have a suicide by gun, but not have a gun next to the body. Miracles miracles, the police now say they did find one that was 30 feet from the body.

This foreign born A- list actor who has a problem waiting until his dates turn 18, hired someone to follow an actress who is barely over the age of 18. Apparently our actor is super possessive and wants to know what she is doing all the time.

Fans have been waiting for this movie for well over a decade. There have been promises made and then promises broken. The movie took so long to make that the original casting decisions were just not possible any longer because the story would not be as believable. I think it would have been fine, but whatever. It has been done. They have cast two new leads and have been shooting for a long time now. This beloved project is being ruined. It is being turned into an abomination of the original. The studio decided in advance that since people have been waiting so long to see the movie, then why not make two of them at once. Split into a two parter before you even know if they like the first. I'm not sure the built in audience is big enough for that kind of move, but again, but whatever. So, now we have two big mistakes that are going to turn off a lot of fans. What if the studio had to call in extra directorial help, because the director wasn't exactly sure to do about shooting this kind of project. Yes, he has experience directing musicals, but, not this whole doing two movies at once thing and where to end the first part and not make it a cliffhanger, and how to add another 45-60 minutes of run time to a project that was already perfect. Plus, to make matters even worse, there is the whole shooting a bunch of film and then looking at it and then realizing most of the costumes look like crap and having to go back and redo the entirety of the costumes and then having to go back and reshoot what they had already done, sometimes with different actors because the others had already wrapped and moved on to other things.

If you thought payola in the streaming services and radio was bad, let me tell you about another form of payola, only this one could get you killed. Research scientists and doctors are always looking for grants. Not only so they have a job for themselves, but often can get funding for a place to live and transportation and if you string enough of them together from some very high end donors, you can live really well. The thing is those big donors all have pet causes, so you have to be able to match yourself with one of their causes and then make sure the big donor sees it. The donor wants to see that you have done the work. You also need to make sure your research fits what the donor wants to see to write the big check. Many times, the donor can be a big business who would like another business to be put out of business. If it can be done with some splashy research, that is scientifically backed and looks plausible, all the better. Then, the one big business can send out press releases talking about why some product is awful and then come in a week later with another press release about where consumers should go to spend their money.
The scientists and doctors need a publication that is willing to publish some really shaky science so the doctors can go to the donors and say look at this. We are published in this magazine that even you know. So, give us a bunch of money. The magazine has been around forever. It started as a magazine that just talked about general easy to digest science stuff for the general public and was sold on newsstands. Over the years, it has become more tailored to the scientific crowd. Most of you know the name of the magazine, especially if you were around when it came out and was sold everywhere. Now, it just takes huge amounts of money from businesses and scientists to publish poorly done research papers that most of the time are inherently flawed, but they make ten times what they ever did when it was just for sale as a regular magazine. I was reminded of it this week when it published a story that made a lot of news and was going to benefit a huge conglomerate of businesses while hurting another. The study makes no sense and would not be accepted anywhere but this magazine. The study got the press though and the payola is going to be worth it.

There is a storied indie rock label that first signed one of the most famous ‘90s rock bands of all time, featuring a famed and gone-too-soon front man. In recent years, one of their rising stars, a bovine-named solo artist, was accused of sexual assault by a former collaborator. The thing is, this was far from the first and multiple accusations were quieted by the label and their lawyer. This was an open secret within the company but the artist was protected because he was signed by the co-president.

I find it to be the most remarkable of coincidences that within 24 hours of recording the lowest ratings of the bar show in nearly two years and down 30% from the premiere episode a few weeks earlier, that news of an affair involving multiple stars of the show suddenly breaks under the most unlikely of scenarios and circumstances.
If that was not enough, Kneepads, who has not written anything negative about anyone in a decade, suddenly decides to write a detailed story about this affair and what led to the discovery and how and then you realize it really doesn't make any sense. Further, the article just happens to mention that viewers of the show are in luck because all of this drama is being captured for the cameras, so can you please come back and watch the show so it isn't canceled.
Because Kneepads doesn't print bad news without permission, it is remarkable they failed to mention that the female victim in this scenario was herself the other woman when she first got together with the guy now doing the cheating. That doesn't fit into the manipulation they have story boarded for you though, so that was not part of the "leak."

I'll probably watch the Wicked film when it is released on streaming, but I won't go to the theater. Are they really splitting into two movies? That's... excessive. Unless they are adding a lot more from the book, because the book is very dense with plot that isn't in the musical. But it is also much darker.

It seems like this mysterious former government official who worked for the very very secret think tank funded by the rich brothers and the wealthy farmer, knew she was going to be killed on that flight. Apparently, she was upsetting something that should have been left alone and there was no choice left but to kill her. It is one of the reasons she insisted that her family members be allowed to take a different flight. They allowed that as long as she would go willingly, and she did. Pretty remarkable that in the past four decades, only three people have died from what she died from and none of the others were on a private jet. This is despite tens of millions of people in the same exact circumstances over the course of those four decades.

The director (AA) was A+ list. He actually has offspring (BB) that have made it nearly as high on the list. This director was known for his wandering eye. He once made a bet with a man that he could bed what he called the super seven. It was a magazine spread that in later years became famous. He bed them all except one, in fact he eventually married one of the seven (CC) although they both cheated constantly on each other and both had children outside the marriage. The child his wife bore outside the marriage still had the director's last name though. Anyway, one of the seven, by far the most famous (DD) had not had sex with the director and never planned on it. Well, the actress did come to work for the director in a movie and he treated her like crap. The director as usual was blowing through the entire budget on gambling and women and had to borrow some from a mafia guy who did that for the director from time to time. What the actress didn't know was she was put up as a loan bonus for the mafia guy. The actress didn't like it, but she was basically hauled off to a hotel room and raped. Then, it happened again the next day and the day after. As a result, our actress started taking more pills than she normally did and was also calling random men who owed her favors including two of the most powerful men in the world (EE & FF) who thought she was going to tell people things that should not be told. She also slept with this singer/mafia type (GG) who promised to kill the mafia guy that raped the actress. He didn't. But our actress ended up dead shortly after all of this.

Unless they are adding a lot more from the book, because the book is very dense with plot that isn't in the musical. But it is also much darker. I'm kind of thinking it's going to be a mix. I see part one being more like Act One with more book plot being added, like her beginnings and family background, then Part Two also being more like Act Two with more book plot being added. It's been at least a decade since I read the book, so I don't remember much of it, I do remember there being much more detail all around. ETA: I think I'll see part one in theaters as a girls night with my BFF (we've seen the musical twice together), but depending on how it is, wait for part two to stream.

February 6, 2023 This blind is not particularly hard, in fact it is super easy. I think that in light of events and records set last night, that perhaps we need to shine a light one more time on to the record holder, who is without a doubt, music's biggest thief in the last fifty years. There is a not a song that this singer has been given credit for, that she actually did any work on. None. Oh, you might have someone say the singer worked on a harmony or a line change or a word change, but that is just to give cover. Our singer's philosophy is that if she agrees to sing your song, then you are going to give her a songwriting credit. Because if she didn't agree to sing your song, then it would be unproduced and still sitting on your hard drive. Her very very biggest songs are songs that are generally written by one person and then our singer came in an added herself and then wanted a 50% credit. If she wants to add herself to a list of songwriters that is 20 names deep, no one really cares. What about the times our singer straight up stole songs from writers and the writers didn't know they had their works stolen until the song showed up on an album or a single. Sometimes the writer gets a credit and sometimes they don't. Our singer is often taken to court when this happens and often wins because she has a massive purse and the broke songwriters suing her, do not. Is our singer alone in doing this? No. Is she the most blatant? Yes. has she admitted to stealing songs? Yes. Does she care? No. You know why? Because people don't care. They hand her out record number of awards. They do get back at her though. Those professional songwriters who stick up for each other. They will never ever vote for her to get one of the big two awards. That is the one thing they can do. Those two awards are the only ones not messed with by the Academy, so they know if they refuse en masse to vote for her, she will be denied the big awards. Beyonce There has been a lot of talk about her over the years. I remember a lot of talk surrounding the Lemonade album
