By my mid-20s, I’d begun to suspect that perhaps (and it was a big “perhaps”) blind items weren’t the best use of my time. Even more worrisome, what if they weren’t all true? The implication had always been that because they were anonymous, all the facts must be facts. But, when you’re reporting incriminating gossip, protected from all repercussions, wouldn’t it be easy enough to exaggerate? Or even just lie? I looked back over the archives of my favorite blind-item sources, and estimated that, according to these numbers, nearly everyone in the entertainment industry had a scandalous past, or secret lovechild, or swimming pool of methamphetamine in their backyard. I realized it didn’t add up. As an aside, I’d just like to say that I did actually graduate from college.
