I have a hard time with the she said he said scenarios that seem to abound these days. Charlie's past is well known, but I kinda agree with Maris... if you were really afraid for your life, would you stay in that house? Really? And she was almost twice the legal limit (here in CA). If her blood alcohol was a high as it was, I'm pretty sure that the story as she tells it would be flawed. And to recant the story the next day? Yeah, sounds like a publicity hound to me.

Looks like the Charlie Sheen spin machine is in full swing. Nevermind that Charlie is accused of holding a knife to Brooke's throat and threatening to kill her, and has himself had multiple drug and alcohol-related arrests - Brooke had a DUI arrest 14 years ago and a cocaine arrest 9 years ago!! How could we possibly believe anything she says? Classic deflection - the same kind of crap he pulled with Denise Richards. Brooke is no saint (neither is Denise), but Charlie's a danger to himself and anyone who comes in contact with him.

I've seen a couple of different reports in recent days that Whitney Houston is back on drugs. I hope it's not true, but then I never got the impression that she was clean in the first place.

Tiger lost another big sponsor -- AT&T. I don't think he learned anything from this. Buh Bye, Tiger. My memory is so short. Was it Leno or Letterman who asked Kanye West what his mother would think of what he did? Tiger, what would your father think?

I think his father wouldn't have a problem with it - he was a noted philanderer himself. I got the impression that Tiger was somewhat estranged from his father at the end of his life largely due to his infidelities.

Colordeagua, it was Leno, the same person who asked Hugh Grant, "What the hell were you thinking?"

I had the impression that Tiger's father was a pretty all 'round "stand up" guy. Guess not. More like father, like son than I knew. Thanks, Merry.

For anyone with free time and and interest in Blind Item reveals, Entertainment Lawyer (Crazy Days and Nights) is revealing one Blind Item every 15 minutes for 12 hours starting at 9:15 a.m. board time. Colossus would kill me if I tried to sit at the computer all day waiting for reveals, but I will check in on them every couple of hours. Reveals

Get your pencils ready to score the Blind Item guesses against the reveals. I'm looking forward to seeing your posts, Goddess.

Before even finishing the Old Hollywood blind item from earlier this week I was convinced that the answer was Jean Harlow. Hope he will reveal on that one, although the allegations are dreadful. Paul Bern's death has never had a satisfactory explanation.

No, that was Lana Turner/her daughter/Johnny Stompanato. The Harlow/Bern situation was that Bern was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in his closet 2 months after he and Harlow married. It was ruled a suicide with a cryptic note from Bern, but basically none of it made sense. Here is the BI I think fits: Old Hollywood BI

Thanks, GAL, for the info. I need to declutter my brain cells this year and get them working again this year.

Jean Harlows husband number two shot himself but I think number three died a ripe old age.

Turns out that BI was Jean Harlow. Some other good reveals, too: Jon Gosselin trying to 'get with' Kim Kardashian, Keith Urban buying a teenager a $500 guitar pedal, Jeremy Piven's 4 toupees (but really who didn't know that?), Levi Johnston having AnnaLynne McCord laugh in his face when he tried to approach her, Carrie Underwood being unable to read a simple script, Anna Paquin paying for someone's dream wedding AND giving her $50K as a wedding gift...Good stuff.

I heard that Fantasia also can't read. I have no clue if that is true.

I believe Fantasia knows how to read now but she didn't when she left high school to have her daughter.

Fantasia was functionally illiterate--she wrote about it in her book (or, rather, her ghostwriter wrote about it in her book). My understanding is that things have changed, though, and I think part of her upcoming reality series is about getting her GED and recording her next CD. The Underwood Blind Item was this: This A list female country singer was hired to shoot a video of her just talking. She was given the script ahead of time and had cue cards at the ready. She came in the morning after a concert in a nearby town and was put in hair and makeup. A room was especially decorated for her to shoot the video in. The building was cleared for only essential people and the camera started rolling. And rolling. And rolling. Because for all of her posturing and songs of "I am a strong, smart woman" our singer couldn't even read her cue cards right. Also, "uh" is one of the main words in her vocabulary. The crew, ever the professionals, stuck it out waiting for her to get her few lines right. After a few hours, the director called it a day and said they have what they need and proceeds to try to edit those few lines into something passable. He had to use a lot more video of her singing then he thought he would but he made it work. So it's not so much that she can't read, but that she couldn't memorize a script or read cue cards.
