What is this "blind item" people keep going on about? It sounds like inside baseball.

There's a bunch of entertainment blogs, of various degrees of validity, that post "blind item" rumors and secrets with the names blurred out.

I always break down the blind items on the gossip blogs like this:

75% is absolute RP fanfic bullshit

15% is a case of someone having an ax to grind; there may be an element of truth, but the truth is twisted to fit an agenda, usually a malign one

10% is true

Those percentages can change based on who is running the gossip blog.

Lainey seems to be the one who has the best reputation as far as these things go, but she's got her own agenda and faves.

The worst reputation Crazy Days and Crazy Nights, which is basically a conspiracy theory hellhole where all of Hollywood is a giant whorehouse that includes a healthy dose of rape and pedophilia (accusations of which are invariably leveled at anyone to the left of Gengis Khan)

Gossip Cop is a blog that tries to "prove" or "disprove" the validity of blind items and their frequent targets by using public resources.

When it comes blind items, it's best to take them with a grain of salt. Occasionally they hit on something true, but most of it is just chaff.
