Blind Items

It was a teenage weddin’ and the old folks wished ’em well.

1 ) “This Real Housewife is completely delusional. She freaks out over every item and photo that’s published about her, furious that the blogs and magazines don’t “clear them with her first”.

She then has the nerve to contact them and say that she would like to give them an interview. But only if she is given all the questions in advance. And only if she can approve all the photos. And only if she can make her own edits to the copy before the article is published.

they refuse her, she tells them, “You should really reconsider, because I have the power to drive many visitors to your site. I can give them to you… or I can take them away from you.” Of course the media finds her threats completely laughable.

2) “The existence of royal love children is an interesting subject. Although history is littered with examples, only two children fathered by living royals have been officially acknowledged in recent times: Prince Albert of Monaco has admitted that he is the father of Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and Alexandre Coste.

King Albert II of Belgium is reputed to be the father of artist Delphine Boel, although this has not been confirmed. The late Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (father of Queen Beatrix) had two illegitimate daughters, Alicia von Bielefeld and Alexia Grinda-Lejeune, recognised after his death, although rumours persist of more children outside marriage. Some also believe the Duchess of Cornwall, formerly Camilla Parker-Bowles, isdescended from Edward VII through his mistress, Alice Keppel.

Then there are some disputed claimants. Robert Brown, an accountant from Jersey, came forward to say he was Princess Margaret’s secret son with Group Captain Peter Townsend, but failed to convince a judge. Attempts to prove that Prince Philip fathered two children, Max and Louise Boisot, with his childhood pal, Helene Cordet, have come to nothing.

At one stage, there were several putative offspring of the late Duke of Windsor popping up in the UK press. Fanny Cradock, a wild-eyed television cook, even wrote a novel called The Windsor Secret in which Wallis Simpson gave birth to the Duke’s son. To this day, nobody has produced reliable evidence that he ever had any children.

However, the Duke of Windsor apparently did believe that Michael Canfield, the first husband of Jackie Onassis’s sister, Lee Radziwill, was the secret son of his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, who was killed in 1942. What a film the mysterious Mr. Canfield’s life story would make! The bisexual Duke may also have been the father of Raine Spencer, Princess Diana’s stepmother — at least that’s what Raine’s mother, novelist Barbara Cartland, once told respected writer Michael Thornton.

So what about modern royals? Whispers that Diana’s father might have been the late Sir James Goldsmith have been discounted, but there are two recurring rumours concerning secret paternity that I still wonder about and neither concerns Prince Harry, who is definitely the son of Prince Charles and looks more like him and the Queen every day. Diana believed one of the tales about current royal love children to be true — and she knew the secrets of all the world’s royal families. Diana told a friend, who told someone else, who told someone else …who told me.” [The Morton Report]

3) “This is a story that you have heard before, but it’s about an actor that you didn’t know was in trouble. He has a successful career, but he has fallen prey to the partying lifestyle.

It’s now interfering with his work. He shows up late or not at all. He is unprepared at work. He is constantly drunk or hungover. He comes to work unwashed, wearing the same clothes from the night before, reeking of booze and smoke.

When a young star is falling apart, their team faces a difficult decision. Do they confront him and try to get them help? Or do they pretend that nothing is wrong so the star doesn’t get mad at them?

Their was a split opinion among this star’s team. His agents – who were afraid of losing him as a client – chose to do nothing. His publicists – a reputable firm who have worked with him for many years – did the brave thing. They set up an intervention, consisting of the people who love and care about the actor, to try to get him to seek help.

The young actor got wind of the intervention… and promptly fired the publicists. The agent kept his job.

In case you were wondering why no one intervenes when a star is in trouble, this is why. The ones who genuinely care inevitability pay the price.” [Blind Gossip]

4) “This mega Superstar sings, dances and acts. She recently left her husband and is seeing a much younger man. A lot of people are urging her to be careful about her new romance. Her young beau may be after her money. Meanwhile, the mega Superstar husband is having the last laugh cause he knows this guy will break her heart.” [Downfront2]

5) “Oh, the weekend is almost upon us– almost!

And at least we have a reason the kick back and not worry about repenting for our sins.

You see, this star has gotten themselves in a whole lot of trouble and she just doesn’t know how to get out of this mess, as more and more evidence of her unruly and wayward behavior continues to mount up.

In an act that could either be characterized as desperate or delusional, the person in question has even been putting in calls to someone she wronged….and publicly humiliated.

But can her sobs and cries for forgiveness ever really be enough?

And, no, it’s not Kristen Stewart calling Robert Pattinson!” [Celebzter]
