“Ted Casablanca” is not striaght, but perhaps his alter ego, the person who actually writes that column, is. See for example, Libby Gelman Waxner, Premiere Magazine.
And if you don’t know who she is look her up.
LOL well that is easy. IAN, how about John Mayer, what is the dirt on him? Did he really make out with Perez or did Perez make that up, is he really bisexual? He never really stays with anyone very long and I heard that his relationship with Jen is a contract for his talk show. What do you say? True or false?
Kate – I read somewhere that most of the men she’s been rumoured to have been dating since leaving Brad are either bi or gay (which is a shame considering her hubby was too!). Plus Ted C always alludes to the fact that hanging around with gay dudes is right up her alley….
rene – it seems not sorry! You’ve not heard that about Brad??? Do you read Ted C’s The Awful Truth at all? He has a blind item on someone he calls “Fake-a-la-Ferocity” who he claims is a functioning heroin/methadone addict with a very handsome boyfriend who he says is bi. It is widely accepted that this character is Angelina and the boyf is obviously Brad. Apparently he had quite a lot of dalliances with men in his youth and someone even suggested that he was a male prostitute to wealthy men when he was struggling to make ends meet in his early career (apparently this is not uncommon). I don’t know if that bit’s true though. Anyway, now that his relationship with Ange has imploded, Ted says his interest in men has been reignited and whereas before he’s never chosen a side now he’s leaning towards men. And apparently he likes black men. There was an incident recently where he was assaulted by a black bouncer, story goes Brad propositioned him and it didn’t go down too well as the man was straight. He obviously didn’t have his gaydar tuned in right that night. Go on to eonline and check out the BI’s for Fake-a-la-Ferocity.
Keane, that was not Brad, the black guy. lol He was already dismissed as it was not him. Ted has not actaully ever said Brad is bisexual, he said Fakeys partner is bisexual and he has not said that is Angelina, although we all suspect it to be her. He is backtracking on Brad. When he was asked about him direct he said he was straight, later he said questionable when grouped with other men, referring to one man being in the group, as to one being hetero, but 3 in that group were a definite bi sexual, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, and Arnie,(thanks Ian) a chambermaid walked in on PN at the Berverly Hills hotel doing a guy years ago, and her niece is still a talking about it. Clint was said to have lived with some guy very early in his career, but have forgotten his name, (hard to believe that one, is that true Ian?) so who knows what the truth really is with any of these guys. Not saying Brad is not, or that he has not experimented, the rumors are out there, just that no one has come forward to prove it that I know of. I think that is why he has never been outed.
Brangelina are not living apart, Not true. That is fake. Another fake insider.
Kate – the thing about the black guy was on another site. Ted C backtracks a lot when the heat is on. Everyone knows Fake-a-la-Ferocity is Ange. Ted C’s comments aren’t always accurate as you know from that group where all but one are rumoured to be gay/bi but he said only one was. I think he’s very restricted in what he can and can’t say and Brange are very powerful in the industry, e don’t want to upset them to much. That’s why Ted writes about them in BI’s but kisses their arses a bit in public. I don’t know about whether Brad is or isn’t bi, I was as uninformed about him as I was about Leo and Justin. But that BI is defo about them.
Keane, wouldn’t it be funny if Ted was straight. LOL of course we know he got married this year to his boyfriend or so he says, but that would really be something yeah?
I know everyone says Fakey is her, but the only reason I question it is this, she has had 2 pregnancies, and I have to wonder if Brad would risk having children like that, with her on a synthetic heroin. He is said to be very controlling and I can’t imgaine he would stand for that. He has always wanted children and to risk it to drugs? There are many actresses on H. The other thing is this, and I know this will not sound nice. The Entertainment Lawyer had a blind not that long ago about another gossip guy who is well known andhe said not Perez, who was pissed off at at star because that star dissed one of his employees so he made us a blind about them and will not let it go. That was right after Angelina dissed Ryan Seacrest last year and they did it again this year, and then she did it to Ted at one of her briefings, would not let him in. EL also said that in the past Ted has listed the answer to the blind as one of the ain’ts. So I am not convinced entirely that Fakey is Angelina, I am not sure she is getting a fair shake on the drugs. She is a fraud, but being on smack pregnant is a serious allegation.
Thanks Rene – good to have a lover not a hater for a change!!
Yeah Kate anything is possible I guess, I’ve never really understood about the pregnancy thing either. Someone said on another site that she used heroin recreationally, so I assumed they meant she smoked it rather than injecting it – I believe that makes it less addictive. She admitted herself that she turned to heroin atfer a break up with some guy back in the day and it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that she would return to it after her mother died. Especially as her relationship with Bradley seems like such a fucking mess and who else but her bro does she really have to rely on? She doesn’t seem to even have many friends. And if not heroin there has to be something making her so goddam thin. I’ve heard she may have contracted hep c from a tattoo or injecting or she’s anorexic. Who knows really but to be that thin between pregnancies is not a normal state of affairs.
And if Ted C did make it up wouldn’t it be asking for trouble??? Do you think e would really let him make up such a damaging story about somone and run it so often? Its bad enough when you’re printing something about someone that you know is true, but to make up something that bad about America’s most famous couple? Plus if it was found out to be totally false his journalistic cred would be screwed for life, not sure any journo would risk that. Someone commented once that it was Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany (is that his name?), but they’re so low profile why would anyone care?
You do think some people make up blinds, of course they do. With this one, he has never said it was them, ever. How can he get in trouble? Babies born on methodone can be born safe, but they can also be born with major problems. As far as thin, I am as thin as she is and I have had 3 kids. I was down to 99 lbs after my first one only 3 weeks after birth, thyroids. 2nd time vegetarian. no big deal 3rd time, I did not gain much. My veins are like hers too. I am not sticking up for her, because I don’t like her, but just because someone is thin with veins does not mean they are a drug addict lol they just do not have body fat. Could be anything. Stress is a big factor, and this time, she has a pooch. I agree the blind definitely sounds like her and does not fit anyone else, but still, the babies look pretty healthy. Ted said she was doing it all the while she was getting pregnant, and that is a big no no.Sure they could be under the watchful eye of Doc, but would Bradley Pitt put up with that, is he that into her that he would take that risk with his children? If he did, he is the biggest douchebag in Hollywood. I don’t care who he screws, but to take that risk with your kids. No excuse. None. That is pure selfish. I suppose Mickey Brett will tell us the truth.
Jesus Christ, my head is spinning! You girls/boys are truly a living gossip encyclopaedia, this is just insane. You don’t know any of those celebs, and neither do the professional gossip columnists you’re quoting as gospel. How can you fill your whole life with all that useless crap? Pull yourself together and come back to the real world for one minute!
Fan – the real world in your little mind is what PRs construct to give to the press to market their celebs to the general public. If you’d ever worked in the entertaiment industry or knew anything about PR you’d understand that 3/4 of the stories that are given to the press and 3/4 of the things that come out of celebs mouth are utter bullshit made up to conceal things they don’t want you to know and to sell aspects of themselves for their own profit. I worked in the tv industry for many years and can tell you that celebs lie about the following things: how old they are (usually take a good 5yrs off); if they’ve had plastic surgery and what they’ve had done; their sexuality; whether they do drugs or not (they all do, and a lot of media professionals do too); their relationships (sometimes made up to conceal the fact they’re gay, other times lied about to present the image of a happy family when the realitty couldn’t be more different). PR’s are paid an awful lot of money to protect their client’s rep and to market them to the public – what exactly do you think PRs do hon, answer the phone for them now and again? What you get in the press is set up pap shots (which the celeb usually take a sizeable cut from i.e. Brange and TomKat); stories fed to them by PRs and often entirely made up stories created to bury far more damaging ones (e.g. Gordon’s Ramsay’s affair with a woman to cover up the real story of his affair with a Brazilian transexual). If you have no experience of the entertainment or media industries it is incredibly stupid and arrogant to think you know all there is to know about celebs. You know what they want you to know, nothing else. You’re either utterly brain dead or you’re a PR trying to dsicredit the validity of the stories posted on this site.
Dear Keane, I owe you the truth: when I see an actor In a movie, I am not interested in anything else but his talent and performance. In my book, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are just the artists who wonderfully played Louis and Lestat in “Interview with a Vampire”. Aside from that I must confess that PR stuff or gossip stuff is the same sort of “embellished” BS to me. Interviews and anecdotes make me yawn while I’m fascinated by the technical aspects of a movie or the director’s aesthetical choices. Of course I’ve heard a few stories about Mr or Mrs so and so from acquaintances, but I don’t read the tabloids. I came across those celebrity gossip sites by mere chance, today I’m observing this trifling little world with a bewildered curiosity, tomorrow I’ll be far away. Get me? For Christ’s sake don’t bother retorting that I’m a pretentious and snobbish bitch: I already know.
Thank you for asking Karen. Normally I do not answer personal questions on the internet, but since you have been so kind to show an interest, I will. Yes, I do know. My oldest is in heaven. She died when she was two years old from spinal fluid on the brain. My second is married and her and her husband are both attorneys, they live in Pasedena. My son is single and works for Disney, he is graphic design artist and worked his ass off on Walle. I work from home, I have my own business, a consulting firm, which allows me free time when I so choose. My husband also works for a studio, not the same one as my son, which I will not name as he is standing over my shoulder telling me I better not.
Oh, and I choose to support Ian and his website because I liked he book, because he is upfront, because he does not play games, and because there is normally intelligent conversation on here, and it is not really a silly message board, hope you will come to enjoy it as much as I do. Hopes that helps answer your question, and yes, I got pregnant much younger than I should have.
Dear Keane; You said it extremely well. You were in the business. You saw what you saw. And you had to get your point across in a forceful manner, otherwise you wouldn’t be heard. So, well done!
I have known people who were in the business. I lived near Hollywood for a while. I have heard rumors about Bradley for a long time. Same with Tommy. But also about others. Stars the general public would never suspect were gay. There’d be no reason for these people to lie. No agenda on their part.
The gay rumors were around even in the silents era. The public was kept in the dark about their favorite stars. People working in the industry were murdered even back then; and it was covered up. And there have been cases in each decade since then..of cover-ups.
So why would it not go on now? These stars have millions to lose. So they would do practically anything to keep the money rolling in. The love of money and power is alive and well, today.
From what I’ve read on other sites, people do not like being manipulated by whom they feel are fakes!
This is of interest to me, as I’ve not observed it in the past. But we were more naive, then.
One blogger I do not trust, is The Entertainment Lawyer. CDaN. About a year ago, he ran a blind item that got wide attention and furious participation. It was later called the Timmy/Shimmy blind.
Well, it turned out to be untrue. Oh were the posters (some of whom spent many hrs. researching the clues) p’d off!
I was one of them who followed this avidly. I never again visited the site, afterwards.
Ya know, I love reading these comments and this website but, I think it is so sad that we don’t know who these stars really are. If you are gay/bi obviously it is your choice and you should be proud of it !!! Another thing…when blind items are posted…if the author knows for a FACT that it is true…why don’t they just name the person ??? I know, i know…afraid to get sued and black-listed…but if it is true just have some balls and spill it (like Ian does )
@ Karen Shatts – I hope Kate’s answer shamed you into never showing your vile, bullying little face around this site again. Ask a stupid question and you will be shown up, and you most certainly have been. And about being a bitch, well all I can say is that it most certainly takes one to know one.
@ Kate – so sorry to hear about your loss.
@ Fan – the assumptions that people make about others whom they encounter on the internet and don’t know fro Adam I find endlessly hilarious. I’m the last person who would accuse someone of being pretentious or snobbish as that would be a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. I’m an Oxford graduate (English) and I came in the top 10% of my year. I am extremely interested in world and domestic politics, am extremely clued up on it and have often considered becoming an MP. I read gossip sites while watching 3 hours of consecutive news broadcasts on the tv and then finish it off with a bit more news last thing at night. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet I’m pretty bright so I get bored easily, need to do more than one thing at once to keep myself amused, and think and type very fast. I couldn’t live a life without politics and I couldn’t live a life without trivial, pointless gossip either – they’re just two sides of the same coin to me. And now I’m off to cook (another big passion of mine) while I catch up with a little more news. Good luck to you fan.
Well, at least false modesty is not among your flaws, congrats!
I’ve always been deeply disconcerted that in the Anglo-Saxon area, even the most educated people are interested in gossip, whereas they would massively consider that self-degrading in the rest of the world. Is it linked to the influence of puritanism? Being so highbrow, I don’t doubt you’ve got a smart answer.
Sonny babe – its not “self-degrading” hon, just “degrading” is the approprate word. Could I suggest a small course in basic literacy skills? And I wouldn’t waste 2 seconds of my life responding to your quasi-intellectual bullshit questions. Just remember that other people reading your post may be somewhat more educated than you hon, and may know when you’re using the fancy words in the wrong holes. Ciao bella x
Keane sweetheart, you should be more grateful to foreigners for being gracious enough to write as properly as they can in your native language. As I’m still in my learning process (and will certainly always be), I thank you for the vocabulary lesson. However, I’m bitterly disappointed by your lame excuse for not answering my very serious question. Ah well, everyone’s got their own limitations, I guess. With your impressive “intellectual pedigree”, I thought I could, though… But forget it. Tschüss!
Sonny – let me break it down for you a bit more simply if I didn’t make myself quite clear enough in my last post (my inherent British politeness is perhaps getting in the way of clarity) – I can’t be fucked to chat to tossers. Geddit?

I read gossip sites while watching 3 hours of consecutive news broadcasts on the tv and then finish it off with a bit more news last thing at night. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet I’m pretty bright so I get bored easily, need to do more than one thing at once to keep myself amused, and think and type very fast. I couldn’t live a life without politics and I couldn’t live a life without trivial, pointless gossip either – they’re just two sides of the same coin to me. And now I’m off to cook (another big passion of mine) while I catch up with a little more news. Good luck to you fan.

Well, at least false modesty is not among your flaws, congrats!
I’ve always been deeply disconcerted that in the Anglo-Saxon area, even the most educated people are interested in gossip, whereas they would massively consider that self-degrading in the rest of the world. Is it linked to the influence of puritanism? Being so highbrow, I don’t doubt you’ve got a smart answer.
ReplySonny babe – its not “self-degrading” hon, just “degrading” is the approprate word. Could I suggest a small course in basic literacy skills? And I wouldn’t waste 2 seconds of my life responding to your quasi-intellectual bullshit questions. Just remember that other people reading your post may be somewhat more educated than you hon, and may know when you’re using the fancy words in the wrong holes. Ciao bella x

Keane sweetheart, you should be more grateful to foreigners for being gracious enough to write as properly as they can in your native language. As I’m still in my learning process (and will certainly always be), I thank you for the vocabulary lesson. However, I’m bitterly disappointed by your lame excuse for not answering my very serious question. Ah well, everyone’s got their own limitations, I guess. With your impressive “intellectual pedigree”, I thought I could, though… But forget it.
Tschüss!
ReplySonny – let me break it down for you a bit more simply if I didn’t make myself quite clear enough in my last post (my inherent British politeness is perhaps getting in the way of clarity) – I can’t be fucked to chat to tossers. Geddit?
Reply@Keane:
Ya, ya, mein Schatz, whatever you say. Now will you excuse me, I’ve nothing else to add (who said: phew?
) and I hate repeating myself.
ReplySonny – mission accomplished, finally, thank the Lord. Don’t let the door smack you in the head on your way out. A bientot (well, hoepfully not!).

Having the last word doesn’t necessarily mean winning, think of it ;-D
