ReplyDeletewhat!!?? did I miss the HIV singer?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reveals. It made for a great holiday!
come on!!
ReplyDeleteENTY - thanks and thanks for that last reveal, though you had kind of already revealed it before now anyway. Heart-breaking!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th ya'll
Thanks ENT!!!
ReplyDeletegreat job, ENT! thanks for the hard work on this. happy 4th to u buddy!
ReplyDeletei give this one a b-. but thanks for the confirmation. :D
ReplyDeletewho is he saying is british? the hiv+ singer?
ReplyDeleteoh--just saw the P.S. Thought it would be in a full post :)
ReplyDeleteso is it Winehouse...?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Blaaaaake is moving on. Sad.
ReplyDeletecall me clueless: is it Winehouse for sure?
ReplyDeletePoor Wino. Or is Lily Allen?
ReplyDeletewait, didn't the blind say something about the singer being pregnant or something?
ReplyDelete99% sure it is Winehouse, but there is always the Lily Allen factor-she was pregnant then not around that time.
ReplyDeleteOk, someone spill it, spell it out!Amy or Lily? Am I right here?
ReplyDeletei would go and find the original blind but i'm too lazy.
ReplyDeleteI can't find the original blind
ReplyDeletecould someone post enty's blind item on the hiv+ singer?
ReplyDeletethanks.
The "required physical" where she disclosed her status, was for an abortion.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if it was Amy Winehouse, what would this statement mean (I don't follow who she is involved with):
ReplyDelete"During a required physical last week this singer indicated she is HIV+. If you follow the partners and they were not safe, this could lead to some incredible revelations during the next year."
I think that Enty's come as close as he can get to saying it's Winehouse without risking a lawsuit or more publicity than he'd like for the blog. (Can you imagine if we got some of He Who Shall Not Be Named's commenters? And you guys think the Affleck gag is bad!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great 4th of July! If I were a smoker, I'd go have a cigarette now.
wait - what does the link to the holiday mean - is it a british actress/performer who has a tie to "independece day" or something? Why would Enty say it's fitting with the holiday?!?!
ReplyDeleteamerican revolution ring a bell? a little fracas where we kicked out the brits.
ReplyDeleteHere are all the references to the HIV+ singer I could find. The original blind didn't come up, Ent must have taken it down.
ReplyDeletePS: thanks for the Entertainment Ent!
Wow. It is just 59 days and counting until the next mass reveal. Seems like only yesterday I spent my entire New Year holiday sitting in front of the computer for 40 hours straight going through all the blind items. I should start now, but probably won't actually get started until about July 3rd and then cuss and drink and promise myself I am never going to do it again. Oh, and just to let you know, the singer who is HIV+ should be out by then, but if not, well it will be here.
#1 Our HIV+ singer was asked by her local health department who she had sex with so they could be notified. There are some rumors that this list is up for sale.
#1 This whacked out, aging female singer, and I am using the term singer very loosely here, walked up to her ex-boyfriend who was with his current girlfriend. Apparently our singer was a wee bit jealous and a wee bit pissed that her ex was with someone else. She walked straight up to the new girlfriend and asked, "Did he tell you that he's HIV positive?" "I should know, he gave it to me." She then turned and walked away. How is that for a date? Probably the last one.
Courtney Love. I need to make it perfectly clear that as far as I know she only said it as a joke and is NOT HIV+. This is NOT the same singer mentioned in a recent blind item who is HIV+.
#1 During a required physical last week this singer indicated she is HIV+. If you follow the partners and they were not safe, this could lead to some incredible revelations during the next year.
We fought the British for our independance.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ent~! Great job as usual. Happy 4th everyone!!!! I'm off to smoke...
ReplyDelete#1 During a required physical last week this singer indicated she is HIV+. If you follow the partners and they were not safe, this could lead to some incredible revelations during the next year.

If it is Amy and she slept with Pete Doherty as rumored, Kate Moss (and therefore half of England) could have it too. Anyways, thanks for the reveals, Ent!!!! Appreciate it a ton :)
ReplyDeleteNo, i GET that we fought the british, but I mean, is it a clue, ie a song or a film that's related somehow...
ReplyDeleteNo i think he is talking about the girl who shared the same lover with Angelina- it's Kate Winslet, she was in the Holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe part about following the partners pretty much rules out Lily Allen and makes it Amy, I think. Pete Doherty -> Kate Moss, Mark Ronson (I think) and who knows where that leads, Blake -> other inmates...Ent's referred several times to her promiscuity.
ReplyDeleteHe thought it would end up revealing itself before, though. I wonder why he thought that and what happened that it didn't.
Kelli - I think you're right... we're on about the wrong blind... and I think Kate is the right guess too
ReplyDeleteI remember he said somewhere the physical as required due to a pregnancy or abortion, can't find where... we even guessed it was britney because there was a rumour she was pregnant back then. but lily was also!
ReplyDeleteEnt, Thanks for making my cloudy holiday more interesting!
ReplyDeleteIf it is Winehouse, does this mean we'll hear next about Kate Moss?
ReplyDeleteDoherty - connecting the dots?
Not sure I have much sympathy for any of the above, but Kate Moss does have a very young Daughter.
If this is the allusion, it is tragic not for the loss of talent, but for this little girl.
I've been the care-giver and held a beloved sibling as they left this world of ours on the heels of HIV/AIDS - and it is truly, truly a devastating disease.
ooooooo! Color me intrigued by the idea of Kate Winslet sharing the same lover as Angelina Jolie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for anther batch of reveals, Ent! Happy 4th Everyone, have fun and be safe!
Direct links to the blinds in case anyone wants to read the comments:
ReplyDeletePart 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Related Post
oh,I get the Winslet blind, but this 'reveal' confused me.......clarify ENT about which one FOR SURE>>>>>>
ReplyDeleteI give this a D-. Nothing juicy revealed, mostly blinds everyone had guessed or about old/dead people.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but we were promised the HIV+ singer. I'm guessing Wino because it would be a miracle if she wasn't HIV+, not because of that "she's British" clue.
Thank you so so much for all your hard work on today's reveals Enty! I have worked 40 hours in the last 72 (Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be programmers) and I swear I have partially gotten through it by looking forward to today's posts. The reveals, Reader Photos and especially awesome edition of FFF completely lived up to my expectations and were such a sweet reward when I finally got done working today! Love you!
ReplyDeleteENT - thank you very much. the reveals added an extra "spark" to my very enjoyable 4th! be safe everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the reveals Enty.
ReplyDeletethanks, and good night, ent!
ReplyDeletethanks, and good night, ent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Enty, have a lovely holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf it is Kate Winslet for the Angelina Takes A Lover blind, then my prayers have been answered. I've had a crush on her since Titanic. I have a thing for redheads, real or not. I would totally go gay for a night with that!
darnit. i'm confuzzled :(
ReplyDeleteAlso if it is Amy Wino, and goes to Pete, who goes to Kate, she's part of the Nothinghillgate group, Sadie Frost, and Jude Law, Jude Law, Sienna Miller, and zillions of men. Not to mention Kimbo Stewie, and zillions of men over here in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteUnprotected sex = death or illness. How stupid can people be in this day and age?
dbfreak - my baby is a programmer (game developer) code,code,code, must code.....
ReplyDeleteUgh, hit without mentioning those facial wounds that aren't healing on amy's face as well. Ugh. Did I mention Ugh?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it seems kind of silly to refer to her as "HIV+" now. It's clear she has full blown AIDS, what with the sores and emphysema. Probably when Ent first posted the blind, the degree of her infection wasn't clear yet. It's not surprising - I can't see her ever sticking to the cocktail regimen even to save her own life.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this could be why her family and friends aren't trying harder to get her off drugs? They might as well let her live the rest of her life as she chooses, when the only alternative is to keep her in full lock-down hospitalization, 'cause that's the only way they could keep her under control enough to slow the progression.
Happy 4th of July, everybody! Ent, thank you for some great reveals!
ReplyDeleteBut is it really Wino? Ent seems to imply that the singer is not a great singer - i.e., he uses the term "singer" loosely to describe her...is he saying it that way because Wino is bombing performances? Because otherwise Wino can definitively be called a singer...or am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteENT!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reveals!!! The reader pic extravaganza was my very favorite!!!!!!
Fabulous on a sorta-rainy July 4th when I'm stuck at home because someone's pipe burst into my wall here at the old condo complex!!!
Cheered me up considerably!!!
If the P.S is referring to the Angelina Jolie blind, then here is a borderline conspiracy thought.
ReplyDeleteI went back earlier to the part where Enty says that he would post about the hiv singer. I was almost positive it was Winehouse, but once I read this I began to question myself.
"Oh, and just to let you know, the singer who is HIV+ should be out by then, but if not, well it will be here."
I started thinking that perhaps by him saying that she would be "out" by then, he was referring to something else (ie Lindsay Lohan/Samantha Ronson), and if she isn't it will be here is in reference to the business class blind where he outs her as being with her "girlfriend".
Just a thought.
I don't get the British comment either. Yes, I get it we fought the British and won, what does that have to do with anything? Yes I know Kate Winslet was in the movie the Holiday, but I think he's referring to the hiv+ singer since he promised us a reveal for that. What does wino or lily allen being british and having the hiv have to do with the 4th of july??
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July ENT!! everyone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reveals. It was fun.
I have no idea what your PS meant, but thanks for the fun & all your hard work on the holiday, Ent. Have a great rest-of-the-year.
ReplyDeleteEnt, you have made my day.
ReplyDeleteI first found you shortly before the mass reveals in January, and you have been my homepage ever since.
You have confused the heck out of me with your P.S., but the mystery is part of the fun.
Thanks for taking the time to bring some fun into al of our lives. You are the best!
xoxo
Where is the reveal on the meth-addicted country singer?
ReplyDeleteThanks Enty. Had a great day. You can relax and enjoy your weekend now.
ReplyDeletexo
I appreciate the hard work ENT. I just wished it had been spent on much better reveals. Does no one remember the crazy meth blinds or the germaphobe couple??
ReplyDeleteJust a thought about Amy and the Revolution thing-maybe it's alluding to her not being granted a US visa?
ReplyDeleteI trust Ent.
ReplyDeleteI have a hunch that Ent knows the answer to each and every blind posted, but propriety and legalities may prevent full disclosure.
Thanks for sharing what you can, EL.
I am so stupid!
ReplyDeleteKate Winslet just finished filming Revolutionary Road! DOH.
Holiday and Revolutionary Road. Fits perfectly.
I love this BI.
zandra said... Also if it is Amy Wino, and goes to Pete, who goes to Kate, she's part of the Nothinghillgate group, Sadie Frost, and Jude Law, Jude Law, Sienna Miller, and zillions of men. Not to mention Kimbo Stewie, and zillions of men over here in the U.S.
ReplyDelete...and Sienna has been with P Diddy, which means half the hip hop community is probably HIV+.
HAPPY 4TH YOU HUSKY HUNK OF A MAN!
ReplyDeleteThank you for making this one of the best holidays ever and most importantly for giving us this great site.
YOU ROCK ENTY!!!!
MUAH
lol
Viva La Revolution
ReplyDeletemy fellow Americans
rise up from the collective coma
and take your country back
it's a great nation and it is worth it
PEACE!!!!!
I just want to say that the photo of the Washington Monument backlit by fireworks is so appropriate for a 4th of July that also happens to be FULL FRONTAL FRIDAY.
ReplyDeleteMy glass is raised to the founding fathers!
Man, that Peter Lawford was a freakity freak of a freak...
ReplyDeleteThanks Enty!!
kellysirkus,
ReplyDeletebelieve me,we're trying!
Is the final reveal in reference to the HIV+ singer or to the 2 A-list lesbo actresses? Cuz if it's about the 2 actresses and she's British, it's Kate Winslet, right? Gawd, I would really love that!
ReplyDeleteThis is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!! WTF??? You don't write a blog where you promise to reveal an HIV positive singer and then...you don't. That's just lame, lame like the end of Twin Peaks the series, lame like Speed 2, lame like, I don't know, the worst of Hollywood lame.
ReplyDeleteYes, Amy Winehouse could have HIV, but I see no suggestion here that the PS applies to that, and for the Kate Winslet people, are you saying the PS applies to that blind reveal and then Enty not only dropped the ball but didn't even give a clue?
This whole blog is bullshit, the reveals are stupid and I'm beginning to think Enty is some Inland Empire paralegal who reads too many tabloids.
For shame!!
I want to add for the Peter Lawford gawkers that all the info Enty "revealed" can be found in any major biography of either the Kennedys or Lawford himself. As in published, already, by a major publishing house.
ReplyDeletePhooey.
I want to know the one about the B+ list actor who fell in love with a guy on the set
ReplyDeleteMaybe the PS is a little vague because it applies to BOTH the blinds, Kate Winslet and Amy Winehouse.
ReplyDeleteEnt, despite some of the negative comments, not all of us have forgotten the meaning of gratitude. This is the only blog I've ever come across that goes above and beyond for its readers, a very kind and selfless thing to do. THANK YOU.
Poor Amy Winehouse has destroyed her health, willingly. I'd be VERY surprised if she didn't already have HIV, even if she is not the answer to that blind.
ReplyDeleteI guess I expected too much to think that ENT would reveal any gay blinds. Like he said, he isn't in the business of outing people.
Hey... what about that actress with the famous relationships who had one with a woman on one of her films? Didn't we think that was Renee Zellweger? Maybe that's why she and George are such great buddies but nothing else?
I think if ENT could reveal some of the others, he would. Legalities, as Pandora said above.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I don't know of another gossip blog out there that does reveals of any sort. Ted Casablanca has revealed exactly two blinds in all the years I've been reading his column. So get a grip and be thankful.
Even if Amy Winehouse isn't the intended subject of this BI, there is a reasonably good chance she has HIV anyway, given her lifestyle and the recent health reports (facial sores, lung problems etc). Without sounding negative, I would say it's a lock that she has HIV. :(
ReplyDeleteLet's put this one to bed.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the smut reveals.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have any magic CSI photoimaging talents to see if anything is hidden in the photo above? :)
ENT, you're a lame assed fat ass, a spent piece of used asswipe, a guttersnipe, and a liar. You said you would reveal the HIV positive singer, and you didn't. Now we know that the more interesting blind items ENT posts are phoney and ENT is a FRAUD.
ReplyDeleteENT, stop writing a gossip column, please. It's just too fucking lameo. Since you love to post photos of men's dicks, go ahead and start a homosexual porn website so that you can spill your seed on your computer screen.
What a fucking moron. Waste of a zygote.
Why does ENT say "see you January 1st"? Is he going somewhere and didn't tell us?
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting the ENT did the reveals on the other two blind items that came out the same day (Wednesday, January 30, 2008)as the HIV+ singer one but he didn't spell that one out for us. Guess he miscalculated the news getting out about her.
The first thing I thought of was the two bi actresses chasing the same woman as well...I like the Kate Winslet guess too.
ReplyDeleteJan 1 is the next big reveal day.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost positive that the PS, She's British comment is referring to the HIV+ singer, as there were so many requests to reveal that specific BI. It's got to be Amy, as HIV is most easily passed via contaminated blood transfusions or contaminated needles. I am a little alarmed about the uneducated comments speculating that all of the people linked to Amy's chain of contacts being automatically HIV+. There would have to be a whole lot of dirty needle sharing for such a widespread infection. Obviously, it's not entirely out of the question, but not automatic, either.
ReplyDeleteRemember that it's extremely difficult to pass on HIV via standard heterosexual intercourse in Europe, North/South America, and Australia/NZ, and female to male transmission is virtually impossible. If standard heterosexual intercourse were a truly easy route of transmission, we all would have contracted HIV by now.
Happy 4th of July! Thanks for the reveals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ent, for a great day of reveals! I'm in Germany right now, and it helped me celebrate one of my favorite holidays away from home!
ReplyDeleteAs to the PS clue--my thought was, Amy has been locked away n her house by her family, thus losing her independence? I just don't see this being the A-list lovers BI. Wouldn't that go against his policy of not outing people, as someone previously mentioned? Just my 2 cents.
"female to male transmission is virtually impossible"
ReplyDeleteWhich is why Magic Johnson's claims, of catching HIV from a female groupie, highly suspect.
Thanks enty, some of these reveals have been pretty juicy - Ellen Pompeo,fer instance. There's quite a bit of stuff Ent could be sued for.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those unhappy, well, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
@Plot.
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly on point. I know for a fact Magic was closely linked to a male r&b singer who later died from Aids. I don't know the rules about posting full names because this is my first post but his intitals are JS. That r&b singer was best friends with another female r&b singer (no relationship he was gay) and she knows all about it. Her initials are JW.
HIV transmission - much easier where there is a break in the skin. Infection among straights is rising fast, outside of sharing needles. Women are more vunerable during menstruation. Anal is much more common in het sex these days, and that hole is going to tear is you are not careful.
ReplyDeleteDon't let anyone up your bum without a condom and a lot of lube!
Happy safe drunken holiday!
Damn Cajun Cutie, you've just dropped a blind on us! A great one, too! Hm, JS and JW. R&B singers. thinking...thinking...this would be the late 80s, early 90s, right?
ReplyDeleteAnd ms wonderland - no matter what type of sex, female to male transmission is very very low, even lower if men are circumcised.
Magic Johnson was treated like a pariah by fellow NBA players for a while there - and it wasn't because they thought they could be infected by him. And Cookie Johnson has always struck me as a rather peculiar NBA wife.
That said, I have a tremendous respect for Magic. He looks better and better, a really good guy, with each new crop of NBA jerks that tops each other with their general assholery.
He was big in the mid to late 80's with 1 huge hit and some minor ones but he eventually died from liver disease caused by aids in 97.
ReplyDeleteI think I said too much now.
BTW. Cookie knew exactly what kind of guy she was marrying. So my sympathy for her is basically nil. She was aware of all of his flings male and female.
ReplyDeleteA quick google and I know who JS and JW are. Love a mystery. How do you know JW? That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteYes! I know who JS is now.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Amy still has that nasty skin infection from a few months ago. this picture is from today and it looks ok to me (just dirty but hey, it's amy winehouse) http://dlisted.com/node/26962/images/spl38479_001.jpg
ReplyDeleteI remember when they first talked about the impetigo that make up didn't really covered it up.
also, she looks like she has gained some weight.
My uncle is a drummer who has been in the business for about 30 years now. He has drummed for a lot of r&b singers when they do shows for festivals etc. He has drummed for her in some of her shows.
ReplyDeleteJS was in the process of selling everyone out by writing a book. JS and JW were once very close but had a falling out toward the last years of his life. JS had made his rounds in the NBA as well as a couple of actors.
I wish I didn't have his song stuck in my head now.
ReplyDeletethanks for the dish CC.
JS is Jermaine Stewart and JW is Jody Watley
ReplyDeleteEnt, your subtlety is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know you're loving the abuse you're taking from some dear readers you expected you to blow your wad.. so to speak.
I can't believe I stayed glued to the screen all damn day! But it was worth it, and I can't wait for our next date!
And Yes, the singer is Amy Winehouse. Remember the clue he gave us a few weeks about about her terrible complexion: kaposi's sarcoma, a complication of AIDS.
This is a tragedy of course, and we are looking again at a victim of superstardom. A talented young person driven by demons of fame and ego.
And I don't give a whit about whomever kate winslet is sleeping with.. she does seem to have problems with men, so maybe a dear woman friend can ease her problems.
Give us another date to anticipate more goodies, Ent!
CajunCutie - No effin' way?? I totally know who JS is and said big 80's hit is amongst my favorite songs of all time. Kinda ironic though, under the circumstances. DAMN!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally Winehouse; not sure about Winslet. Has she ever tried to lead anyone to think she'd rule out a chick/chick fling? Interesting...
Great Job on the reveals Enty!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see who the young male A-list rising star/"Public Thrust" indulging in boy on boy orgy action was...wishful thinking tho, am sure that'd be a law suit!! I still say Shia Labeouf fits the bill
As for all the EL Blog haters- honestly, step off. This is the best gossip blog out there bar none. The others are glorified PR, personal mouthpieces (though amusing, Dlisted) or tiresome teases. GW'AN WITH YOUR BAD SELF ENTY:-)
(If this double posts, I'll erase one.)
ReplyDeleteP.S. She's British. Kind of fitting if you think about the holiday and all.
I think that this is about the HIV singer, not the Angelina blind. It EL's way of avoiding a lawsuit by being all cryptic and shit.
Fourth of July aka Independence Day. Who's in need of their independence (ie being released from the chokey)? Blaaaaake. Wino wears those Blake hair clips and has said Free Blake. Oh and I think she's British.
First of all, those of you who were rude enough to resort to name-calling should just kindly remove themselves from the site, thank-you-very-much.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I do believe Ent DID reveal the HIV+ singer, just in a way that was not so obvious. At least that's how I took it as soon as I read the PS. He knew he had promised the reveal, but he also stated awhile back that he thought she would be "out" by now, which she apparently is not. And I think it's all too obvious that it is Amy Winehouse, which is a pity.
I think Princess had it right. Blake and her own "being grounded," I thought, was what Ent was alluding to with the "holiday" (Independence Day) comment.
I'm not sure about the whole Kate Winslet, Angie Jo thing, but who knows...
Enjoyed the reveal, Ent. One question:
WHO IS THE PREGNANT SINGER?! Asslee Simpson isn't far enough along, and Brit-Brit doesn't really look pregnant (anymore.) SO, WHO IS IT?!
ENT: Thanks, as always!
ReplyDeleteI wish the newcomers would LURK MORE and look at previous reveals to see what he covered and didn't cover.
Thanks for all the witty and cryptic posts.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that the PS was about the singer. It's obvious now that it's Amy. I think that with her last hospitalization and the "emphysema" but not emphysema reports to the media it's probably pneumocystis carinii which is a common cause of pneumonia in the immunocompromised.
As for the Jermaine Stewart comment -- all that info is readily available at Wikipedia and elsewhere. There is no doubt that Magic Johnson got AIDS from gay sex.
Hope everyone had a Happy 4th and a great weekend. Keep cool.
Lots of HIV misinformation out there, obviously (and unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteWith HIV, the virus is present in all body fluids. High viral concentrations in the blood; much lower concentrations in saliva.
Other than blood to blood transmission via shared needles or blood product transfusion, the mucous membranes are integral to transmission. This is why women are much more susceptible to contracting HIV through unprotected vaginal sex than circumcised men.
If a man is uncircumcised, he is at a much greater risk of contracting HIV through penis/vaginal penetrative sex because the foreskin is essentially mucus membrane and provides an opening for HIV to enter the body.
Oral sex is less risky, in part because saliva also contains anti-viral, anti-bacterial properties which help counteract exposure to HIV if the vaginal or seminal fluids are infected.
However, if someone has a mild case of gingivitis where they could have unnoticeable gum bleeding and mild inflammation, the risks of contracting HIV are greatly increased.
If the oral sex provider is infected, the risk is much lower to the recipient. Again, because of low viral load in the saliva and the infection-killing properties of salvia.
That said, transmission is possible and there are lots of documented cases of HIV infection transmitted by oral sex.
As for the comment about Magic Johnson, don't judge. He could have had a very small, fresh abrasion on his penis before having unprotected vaginal sex. It happens - especially from masturbation without adequate lubricant. That's all it would take for him to become infected. Or unnoticeable bleeding gums and he performed unprotected oral sex.
As others said above, I think the p.s. = we kicked the British out = Amy Winehouse was denied a visa.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I see nothing wrong with deciding the reveal is about Kate Winslet. I have many friends who would be ecstatic if she were into girls! :)
Hey, Sage1 -
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen kaposi's sarcoma? Very different look that what Amy had.
Still, Amy's immune system has been compromised which is allowing infections to take hold. Drug use alone will compromise one's immune system. Still, the girl's been acting out and I wouldn't be surprised if she was postive.
Another comment about Magic and HIV. If you have another STD like Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphillis, etc., your chance of contracting HIV from sex with an infected person increases two to five fold. With all the sex Magic was having with groupies statistically speaking, he would have gotten any other STD before HIV. So it's not completely out of the question for him to get HIV from vaginal intercourse. I mean would it really be a shocker if Magic also had the herp?
ReplyDeleteIf you look closely at the random photos the last couple weeks there were a lot of clues,(at least it seemed to me) of blinds that he probably could not reveal for the mass reveal. I def think he is talking about Winehouse and have no doubt it is her. What more proof do you need. hes been hinting about it already lately and she is in the hospital all the time with strange issues for a 24 year old. Anyway, i love this blog and would not want him to get in trouble because then we would not get anymore scoop. And to the people that say he makes stuff up, he told us about Jamie Lynn Spears way before anyone else even hinted about it. enough said.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have no evidence to the contrary, I doubt Magic Johnson contracted HIV through a woman; the odds of this happening are very low (see below).
ReplyDeletePro players are known for their promiscuity; why is Johnson the ONLY known HIV pro player out of thousands of players who have had many sexual partners? We would be seeing more than just ONE player being infected through hetero sex.
I found this on the web:
In the nation's largest and longest study of heterosexual HIV transmission, UCSF researchers found transmission rates remain extremely low.
The researchers estimate the odds of a an HIV-positive male infecting a female partner in an unprotected sexual encounter is about 9 in 10,000. The chances are even lower for female-to-male infections.
Females are about eight times more likely than males to become infected by their HIV-positive partners, says study principal investigator Nancy Padian, PhD, UCSF assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences.
hey grace,
ReplyDeletethe PR posters basically said that they strongly suspect that magic has dabbled with the men. isiah too.
you are on it, miss lady. :D
I actually had to leave the reveals last night so I could go out with friends... catching up today. Enty , my love, as always you did not disappoint. Ignore the name calling trolls. You know we love, appreciate and respect what you do here everyday! a big Thank You and wet nosiy SMOOCH!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to all the commenters who made this so much fun. It was a pleasure spending the day with you all.
And to the biching trools...SUCK IT!
XOXO
even if transmission rates are low, i would still be freakin if an old boyfriend called and told me he had hiv.
ReplyDeleteThanks again ENTY. Another fun filled reveal. You get me through so many long, boring work days.
ReplyDeleteFirst- thanks for camping in front of the computer for 14 hours yesterday, ENT, to bring us grateful gossip hounds some of the goods you've promised over the last six months. Tons of work went into that, so even if everything wasn't revealed (hey, you're a lawyer- I trust you know what you can say and can't), you still put a tremendous amount of effort into pleasing most of us. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteMoving right along to the comments...
Thanks, Ms. for posting that. So sad that we've really become so blase about HIV over the last 15 years that some people need to be reminded of such basic biological facts. Scary!
for Grace, "The researchers estimate the odds of a an HIV-positive male infecting a female partner in an unprotected sexual encounter is about 9 in 10,000. The chances are even lower for female-to-male infections.
" while true, you have to mulitply that by the number of partners someone has times the number of unprotected encounters. If Magic truly had sex with, what?, 10,000, 20,000 women, that would increase his risk exponentially as risk increases with each exposure. Multiple exposures = increased risk.
Back to the PS thing...I don't know what it refers to, but I like both the possibilities that everyone has guessed.
For HIV+ singer...am I confusing different blinds? I thought the HIV+ singer had some sort of connection with prison in the states, which was why some people guessed lil Kim (though I might be confused by remembering certain guesses by commenters on these blinds- or were we just guessing a prison situation because the health dept. appt. was "mandatory"?). If it was just a general prison connection, I guess that fits Wino after all. Though- wouldn't Blaaaaaaake's health status be somewhat well known since he is in a public facility and his health has been the subject of gossip here and there since he's been incarcerated?
I like the idea of the English Rose being A+ list hot lesbo #2, but I don't think of her being completely opposite of Ange. (Not like a prudish Grey Goose, mind.) They've both been Oscar nominated, well educated, both are moms, both have been in blockbusters. So, Angelina has a French connection and Kate is British...is that enough to qualify as "opposite"? (Unless the opposite one speaks of is the English Channel, ha!) Uh, that Angelina grew up the daughter of a Hollywood star in Hollywood and Kate grew up the daughter of hippies in England? I'm confused. :)
Everyone knew Ange had been w/ girls- that wasn't a secret, so that's not a reveal. The #2 wasn't revealed, but if she really never let on in any way shape or form that she had any sort of inclination toward women, that would make Kate's first major film belie that (Heavenly Creatures). Personally, I wouldn't be
I really believe the P.S. was about the Angelina reveal, not the HIV singer.
ReplyDelete1. Ent didn't say anything about the HIV singer in the reveals, so why would he refer to it with a P.S.?
2. He did reveal the girl-on-girl BI, and many, many posters complained that they wanted more, asking for the second woman's name.
3. The BI stated that the 2nd woman has never given a sign of preferring women.
4. Ent didn't give the second name, but did give us the P.S.
5. 4th of July and the movie "Holiday" - simple!
Great reveals, Ent!
Grace- Thank you very much for posting that. While I was reading through the comments I was hoping someone would point this information out.
ReplyDeletebxrlvr- Ent did say he would reveal the HIV+ singer. And he has done that.
As for the girl on girl blind, he would have put this clue in that reveal. Not here as a p.s at the end. We know what he's talking about and that's what he planned.
Thanks for the reveals!!!
We also know that hetero transmission of HIV is much higher in the very high risk, drug-using community (needle sharing, such as Blaaake might have done) and those with other STDs.
ReplyDeleteI guess I felt I had to point this out because in the past the majority firmly believed that Magic was infected by a woman. Still could have happened, but as we all know, highly suspect.
AND we all know so much more about HIV transmission now than even when Magic was infected and came out with the news.
We are all so much better educated.
Why isn't Magic out there in the public regarding HIV education and awareness? Do I naively believe that he would have been one of the strongest advocates for safe sex and HIV prevention?
Flora, that's my point: with multiple exposure to so many different women, why aren't more professional athletes getting infected with HIV, when it's basically only Magic standing alone in this regard? That is, if we are assuming that he was infected by a woman.
ReplyDeleteI mean, didn't Wilt Chamberlain come forward in his autobiography and say that he estimates that he has had sex with 20,000 different women? And he's older than Magic, hence more opportunities for more sex. And he's not infected with HIV.
bxrlvr- Ent did say he would reveal the HIV+ singer. And he has done that.
ReplyDeleteWhere did he Melissa?
Thanks Enty for a great day. Forget the naysayers, you rule!
ReplyDeleteI also read the P.S. as outing Wino, but I think Lily Allen is a very good guess too.
I hope everyone has/had a fantastic weekend!
Thanks for your interesting comments on HIV - it's inspired me to learn more about the subject. So basically, anyone who slept with Amy should be glad if they're circumcised!
ReplyDelete"BTW. Cookie knew exactly what kind of guy she was marrying. So my sympathy for her is basically nil. She was aware of all of his flings male and female."
ReplyDeleteCookie has known Magic since childhood, I think. She knew him through and through by the time they got married.
Why she is a peculiar NBA wife, to me, is that she isn't a PB bunny, or arm candy. Even (supposedly) gay sports figures get themselves a bimbo to make themselves more masculine (hello Jeff Gordon!) Cookie is average, at best. From what I've read about her, she's a smart woman who is using the Magic money very wisely. I don't doubt that she is not only covering for Magic but plays an essential role in the Magic product and charities. They really are partners. Not a bad deal at all!
Nice comment, Plot.
ReplyDeleteA good marriage is based on having a healthy partnership, and apparently Magic was mature enough to marry a life partner, not a bimbo. Too bad we can't say the same for a lot of the athletes out here.
Such as...did you read the article a sports writer (woman) wrote about what happened to her with Kobe's wife, Vanessa? Here it is:
I Got Cussed Out By Kobe Bryant's Wife
"Last night, I got cussed out by Vanessa Bryant. Seriously. At the Lakers game. In front of her kids. In front of the Lakers locker room. It was awesome. She is mad about an article I wrote where I mentioned her. That means one of two things - she either reads the ESPN blog or she has herself on Google alerts. Both are fantastic.
So as I’m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.
“Laura!” she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). “Fuck you! You fucking bitch!”
“Excuse me?” I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there’s not.
Her daughters – ages 5 and 2 – are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.
“Fuck you! How dare you write about me and my daughters and their schedule! You didn’t say you were writing an article! Fuck you! You fucking bitch. You have no journalism ethics! Fuck you! You bitch - ”
I just stare at her. I’ve heard many stories about her from reporters, but this was unbelievable. Two of my friends from the LA Times told me how she cussed out one of them last season, because he said hi to her daughter. “Join the club, this means you’ve arrived,” said one reporter when word spread of my run-in with Vanessa. “She’s insane,” said another. “Everyone knows it.”"
Thanks Ent....
ReplyDeleteP.S. of course its Amy Wino. I probably would be careful with that reveal too due to lawsuits and all.
if you look carefully you can see a beehive on top of the monument!
ReplyDeleteU di bit believe Magic contracted HIV from a woman. I used to teach 'HIV ed awareness' to students and all the research indicates that the likelihood is slim to none, especially based upon his lifestyle. I believe the 'downlow' among athletes and rappers has been around a LOOOOONGGG time and that there are probably more people infected that known. I have lost numerous friends to AIDS and my best friend is a long term survivor (since 1990). The cocktail meds have kept him alive and he has to change them constantly. His partner died 2 years after diagnosis 17 years ago. You just can't always predict. Infected women get quite different types of infections and complications from AIDS/HIV than men do and some women with AIDS are much heavier.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad that people aren't paying attention to HIV infection and there is a resurgence among young people.
Amy's weight issues are probably drug related, but I would have no trouble believing that she and many others in her world have HIV. Sad.....
Good comments, Carrie. The New Yorker had a great article about the "down low" (the DL) lifestyle (they focused on Atlanta) a few years ago. Because of that lifestyle, HIV infection is actually UP in African American women:
ReplyDeletehttp://hometown.aol.com/cheatingsigns/page46.html, by Ruth Houston
"Most Black women are surprised to learn that HIV/AIDS has spread far beyond the boundaries of the gay community. Although we make up about 12% of the population, we now account for approximately 70% of all new AIDS cases. And our husbands and boyfriends are the reason why.
Most Black women who are married or in committed relationships have been lulled into a false sense of security regarding HIV/AIDS. You have probably never even considered that your husband or boyfriend could be a potential source of HIV infection. But the facts speak for themselves. According to CDC studies, 67% of Black women with HIV contracted it, not from drug use, but from heterosexual sex."
terrific reveals, ent! i don't know how you do it, but i thank you! i love the old stories, at least i know the players in those!
ReplyDeletegreat holiday, everybody, the reader photos are exceptional, and most everyone behaved themselves.
i feel like i've just had a huge family meal!
hugs all around!!
xoxoxo
dearest Ent: nice job and at the risk of asking too much, where the hell is my james spader picture? kisses and hugs
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading your reveals, Ent! Haters aside, you have the best gossip blog out there...by far!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I interpreted the p.s. as referring to Ms. Winehouse, most definitely. If so, how very tragic and sad, but certainly not surprising. I'd almost be surprised that an IV drug user of her caliber DIDN'T have HIV/AIDS. And she does have the "look"...What a waste.
Pretty shocking to read some of the ignorant comments on this site re: the rampant transmission in the hetero community, etc. Fact remains it IS difficult to transmit via hetero sex, though obviously not impossible. Glad to see some of ya'll have set everybody straight (no pun intended, lol).
On another note...did anybody have any opinions of the Ted C. blind(s) referring to Angelina J. (Fake a la Ferocity) as being back on Heroin...or needing methadone during her current pg? Normally am not a Ted fan (at all) but I did find that one believable given her past Heroin abuse, withering frame post-Shiloh, and the rumors surrounding. Interesting, anyway.
"Why isn't Magic out there in the public regarding HIV education and awareness? Do I naively believe that he would have been one of the strongest advocates for safe sex and HIV prevention?"
ReplyDeleteWhen Magic first went public with the news he did do a lot of PSAs (well, a lot in my memory, I was barely a teenager) for HIV awareness. I even remember this video he did with a whole bunch of other celebs (though for some reason the only one I remember is Arsenio Hall) that was pretty much made for high schools to show to students.
However, that seemed to be contained to the first few years after his announcement. Then he moved on to doing other endeavors - admirable ones, but no more HIV awareness campaigns. And he never mentioned all the facts that have been stated here. After all, those facts kind of contradict how he says he got it.
That being said the thing that troubles me about pointing out how low HIV transmission rates are for heterosexual sex, is that that is NOT the thing you want to tell a bunch of horny teenagers (and dumb horny adults). It just gives them an excuse not to be safe, IMO.
9 out of 10,000 is still 9 people with HIV. Do you really want to gamble on being one of those nine just because the odds are in your favor and it just "feels better" without a condom and "if you really loved me" you would let him do you without one? But that is not how a lot of kids are going to think. They think they are invincible, and then that information gives them more reason to keep thinking so. Then they end up getting the herp or crabs or a baby. But hey, let's look at the bright side - they didn't get HIV!
I don't know, there has to be a way to get the correct information out there (misinformation breeds ignorant fear and unfair judgment of certain people) while at the same time emphasizing that you still could catch it, even if the odds aren't as high as you think. We all agree Russian roulette is dumb even though the odds are technically in our favor of not getting that one bullet in the head. So why would you want to play with a potentially loaded gun of STDs, super sperm, and fertile eggs just because odds are in your favor?
/paranoia
Oh, and what grace said - I do have to admit the HIV stats for the Af-Am community (particularly for women) add to my level of paranoia on the issue. Point of view will be affected more when it hits closer to home.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing, when Ent said "if you follow the partners and they were not safe" - I remember now that someone did point out at the time that this could mean drug partners. That very likely covers Pete and Blake. We know Kate does coke but what else does she do? What about the whole Notting Hill Gate set? If Kate uses needles there is a chance they do the same stuff, too.
Now, people were speculating on sex partners - and don't get me wrong, I'm not assuming that ALL of those people shoot up. I'm just considering the fact that a lot of the people branching out from Amy may very well be drug partners too, and this is without speculating on the men who have been rumored or confirmed as bi or gay (which would be...all the men? lol). If the news about Amy was revealed there'd be quite a bit of freaking out in the media once they started playing connect-the-dots no matter which way they look at it.
"The researchers estimate the odds of a an HIV-positive male infecting a female partner in an unprotected sexual encounter is about 9 in 10,000."
ReplyDeleteI used to work for a physician who specialized in treating HIV+ women.
Most of the patients were infected by their husbands. Some husbands were bi/gay, some were messing with random hook-ups with women.
Only one of the patients was infected through drug use.
Now then, here's the kicker. Three of our patients were infected through ONE act of unprotected sex. All three had had one night stands with the same guy (at separate times).
One of the women was a NURSE who definitely should have known better. Not blaming or judging her, but that lapse of judgment in someone who knew the risk... well, it cost the poor thing her life.
The guy knew he was HIV positive and had infected 17 women (that the police were able to track down). Four of those women had already died by the time he was charged and the bastard died a couple of days before his trial was to start. He got off easy.
The murderer had a virulent strain of HIV.
The odds of 9 in 10,000 for infection is meaningless of you're one of the nine. If you'd seen the women in our office, you'd be shocked. Soccer moms, high-level execs...
wilt chamberlain died in 1999 from a heart attack...so let's let this go on his part about HIV/AIDs and to all the haters...get a f....king life
ReplyDelete"I found this on the web" ... "The researchers estimate the odds of a an HIV-positive male infecting a female partner in an unprotected sexual encounter is about 9 in 10,000."
ReplyDeleteThe magic line here is "I found this on the web". Let me break the news to you: most of the new HIV cases now in the world are NOT drug addicts, are NOT gays, but married women in their forties. Any doctor, researcher, whatever, can confirm it. Don't believe in everything you read on the web.
For all you 'HATERS' out there - didn't your mother's ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say - say nothing at all? If you can't be grateful for what you are given, go away.
ReplyDeleteThank you ENT!!! You, and this blog, are AWESOME!!!!!
And by hating on the "haters," what point are you making?
ReplyDeletei wanted to know about the guy that feel in love on set. i also wanted to know about the crystal meth smoking actor, there were two different blinds. one actor acting like a ass smoking crystal out in the open and the other asking the bouncer for a lighter to smoke his meth pipe....i so wanted to know who those people were!

ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone trusting the reveals of someone who said he would reveal something...and didn't? I didn't ask for the BI to be revealed, Enty promised it would be revealed. How can his credibility on anything be intact?
ReplyDeleteOh how little people know about HIV/AIDS...I have seen HETEROSEXUAL men and women with HIV, just because female - male transmission is lower it doesn't mean it will not happen.
ReplyDeleteNot every man infected with HIV is a drug user or gay, it is awful to see such misinformation spread. That 9, in 10, 000 is not a proven fact. How do people think HIV/AIDS has spread through southern Africa at the rate it has?
Honey, Gayla, Ms.: Very excellent points! We should not be lulled into thinking that the general public cannot get HIV.
ReplyDeleteHoney, the thing about 9 in 10,000 is an estimate.
At any rate, the bottom line is -- responsible sex! Get tested! Try to stay monogamous! Don't engage is high-risk sex, drug activity, etc!
Let's take care of our bodies and keep them healthy!!
We're an educated and good-looking (judging by the pics!) bunch.
I have really enjoyed engaging in this type of conversation with you. Sharing knowledge empowers all of us.
@sarah
ReplyDeleteThe blind was revealed slowly and subtly over the last weeks. Was it confirmed-no. But not only is the legality of outing somebodys medical condition an issue, it is kinda a moral one too. For me even though the curiosity was there, I also questioned whether it was right for Enty (or any of us, for that matter) to say flat out xxx has hiv.
I don't fault him at all, an expected for the reveal to be a "read between the lines"
Enty in fact has covered his ass legally with that P.S. Since it does not reference which blind it answers so no one can say he outed Amy, Lilly, Kate Winslet or whomever. Smart I think.
The simple fact of the matter that revealing a celebrities hissy fits or strange/atrocious behavior likely won't get you sued.
ReplyDeleteRevealing a celebrity as HIV+ probably would get you sued.
Most upsetting to me is that revealing one as gay/lesbian is just as bad.
So sad.
Who knocked little Miss Spears up, was it indeed an exec?
ReplyDeleteWho is Minnie Drivers' baby daddy?
Most agree that the total B.I. is Amy Winehouse, but what about Madonna? She is kind of British, having marital problems...
I am jiggy with Winehouse having the HIV as she looks done.
I adore this site, it is my favorite besides Dlisted and I think I have figured out who you are ENTY....
Thank you, Enty, for being amazing throughout the year. These are so damn juicy! :-) You're the best.
ReplyDeletewhat I found in Grace's reference once one scrolled down and read about 2/3=
ReplyDelete"Only two men had become infected by their HIV-positive female partners. In the first infection, both partners reported several instances of post-coital bleeding from the genital area. In the second case, the woman appears to have infected her partner with both HIV and chlamydia within a short period.
'Because there were only two instances of female-to-male transmission, we could not examine risk factors for these events statistically,' Padian says. 'However, the fact that chlamydia was transmitted simultaneously with HIV is striking.'"
So- hetero female to male hiv was rare enough to be statistically insignificant in this study of 300+ people but is still possible as two men contracted hiv vaginally...
And Magic has supported safe sex education, but true, he could be so much more effective as a spokesperson if he actually *spoke* more!
Ms.- powerful words you've spoken today, word, woman!
littlemanwhatnow- yeah, me too! But I bet calling someone a meth freak is libelous. ;p
Plot, I don't know how I missed this the first time, but: (hello Jeff Gordon!)- forfreakin'tastic! That's my laugh of the night!
ReplyDeleteGlad to give you a laugh!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those weirdos who thinks that more men have had homosexual encounters then would ever admit to it. Mix in drugs, booze, lots of money, and the boredom bred from having nothing to do (since everything is handled by minders and maids) and men will do just about anything for a thrill. Horny teenagers/young men with too much time and money on their hands? Oh please.
Vaginal female-to-male transmission is very, very low. I just don't buy it when guys claim it.
Magic and Cookie have been quietly active in AIDS awareness for black women. Maybe because Magic wants to keep his personal life personal, and doesn't want all the
Q&A about how he became HIV+, the largest AIDS charities aren't a good fit for him.
On the Winehouse rumour - if she ever slept with Pete Doperty, let's not forget the rampant suggestion (on this blog and others) that Pete was a rent boy in his younger days. Needles aren't the only way this Brit clique could have been infected (supposedly.)
I'd like to add something about Amy that someone sort of touched on much earlier.
ReplyDeleteA number of months ago Amy was denied a visa to enter the States (for the Grammy's, I think), and her camp put out the word that it was because there were pending drug charges. Maybe it was really because she was HIV+ (had to reveal it for that abortion). Would the government issue a visa to a known sick person with a highly transmissable disease?
If the reveal is the HIV+ singer and it is Winehouse, perhaps ENT thought the news would be out by now because she has been in and out of rehab and under medical care, and that means her health has been thoroughly examined and blood work done. An HIV test would be done on any known drug addict.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he thought she would have OD'd by now. It's a bit surprising she hasn't cacked herself yet.
If it IS Winehouse, I can't imagine how Blaaaaaake has restrained himself from selling the news to some magazine for drug money.
One more thing, then I'll let it go. Promise ;-)
ReplyDeleteFrom several comments posted, it seems like there's a lot of focus on vagina/penis transmission of HIV. How many folks here have had sex WITHOUT engaging in oral sex?
Me? Never. Well, once. And I kicked that guy out of my bed.
Again, more than one way for HIV to be transmitted.
And keep in mind that the study posted here does not break down transmission rates for circumcised versus uncircumcised men.
Uncircumcised men have almost the same level of risk as women.
The HIV rate is rising among youth of all sexual persuasions.
Circumcisions rates have significantly declined since 1970. Use to be that only 20% of North American males were uncircumcised and now it is 35% to 40% of men under age 25 are uncircumcised.
I'm not advocating circumcision (in fact, I'm against it). However, it is important to be aware of it when looking at the statistics.
If Winehouse is the HIV+ singer,...
ReplyDeletea.) Maybe Ent had found out that an announcement was going to be made. Then had to hold on the assumed announcement, especially when Winehouse's family declaredit was emphysema.
b.) I don't think emphysema is communicable, but I doubt the US wouldn't have denied her an entry visa because of that, if that is what she really has. But it's doubtful the US would reveal her HIV status, either.
janele - I was referring to her (possible) HIV+ status, not the "emphysema," which was denied shortly after her father said that's what was ailing her.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't even try to understand the government's reasoning - they just denied Boy George a visa, so he had to cancel his U.S. concerts this summer.
Feebes - Mmmmm, Spader! I don't care how puffy he's gotten lately, he is still the hotness!!!! Ent, where's the frakkin' picture?! ;)
ReplyDelete"The odds of 9 in 10,000 for infection is meaningless if you're one of the nine." That pretty much sums up the point - practice safe sex! And get tested for stds regularly, even if you're in a monogamous relationship. Not only can you not be 100% sure what your partner's doing, but there are some stds (not AIDS!) that can be transmitted through more casual contact.
Loved the reveals and appreciate them! There are a few I knew probably couldn't be but hope we don't forget.
ReplyDelete1-Who is the person the paparazzi caught beating his significant other at the beach house? Same room and almost every night??? I want to know simply so I can steer clear of anything that asshole may do in the future.
2-Who is the woman (actress?) infected with HIV by her unfaithful husband? Again..I want to know because I'd like to do my part to withhold support from a douche like that.
3-There was another BI about a man and his rarely seen wife because the implication was that he beats her. Don't know if it's the same as my #1 request.
If anyone here has any solid ideas, I'd love for you to post them!!! I'm already in BI withdrawel.
i remember hearing that magic's health is remarkable and the trace of the disease is barely detectable in blood tests...i assume he had access to better drugs since his diagnosis...also, i remember a case down in Florida, around 5+ years ago, where a little boy who tested positive since birth, had negative status...i think that so little is known of the disease...as far as the "PS" goes, i think its Wino....i think her appearence alone makes it believable...i also think it is something she will disclose soon because her recent performances have been panned, as well as her shenanigans...i dont like that this seems likely but i think she is going to be another tragedy in the music world...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Carmen -- the best blinds were withheld, perhaps for legal reasons. Yet still -- it's put out there and of course we want to know!
ReplyDeleteI just know that Brendan Fraser is the answer to one of the blinds -- anyone know?
"Not every man infected with HIV is a drug user or gay, it is awful to see such misinformation spread. That 9, in 10, 000 is not a proven fact. How do people think HIV/AIDS has spread through southern Africa at the rate it has?"
ReplyDeleteI would assume that is due to the fact that most men there are uncircumsized. Also, I think it's harder to convince to practice safe sex there.
But reading all the stuff left behind here (and on Wikipedia) has me almost convinced never to have sex again. And to make my husband take random blood tests before he's allowed to even look at me in that way...
Great stuff - thanks for the reveals!!!
There is not one thing here that cannot be found out on your own without a little digging.
ReplyDeleteThis from a supposed Entertainment lawyer who does not even know the sales tax in LA.
Some of this is real, but most it is fake. The really juicy ones are never revealed.
I wonder who is really blind here.
Am I missing something, Jessica? What do you meant Ent does not know the sales tax in LA? Could you provide a link to support that statement?
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by what people think attorneys should know, just because they are attorneys.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a CPA.
I think Jessica meant to imply that Ent does not live in LA. Most residents of a particular city know the sales tax charged on good. In Canada, it is provincial. Ontario has 8% sales tax. Federally, we have 5% general sales tax (GST) except in Alberta and Quebec. I always thought the US operated teh same way. So wouldn't it be California sales tax? Or does LA have their own tax too?
ReplyDeleteIn California we have a base sales tax of 7.25%. Counties can elect to have an additional district tax, and cities within that county can have a different tax rate then their county (this is becoming more and more common). It could be that Ent lives outside of LA or in a neighboring city or county that has a different tax rate.
ReplyDeleteSales tax varies from city to city in California. Certain cities opt to support public transportation or other things through sales tax.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm with Jessica, if the juicy blind items were true, how much trouble could Enty get into by revealing them? And the ones that were revealed, everyone had guessed or the info was in the public domain already (Peter Lawford).
Jessica--we don't want to HAVE to dig. The beauty of this is Enty puts out hints, & we all try to figure it out. Based on other people's comment, sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. I don't know about others, but it is fun to try to speculate who it may be--sometimes we are all so off, sometimes we nail it immediately.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted to dig. I wouldn't be on someone else's blog having fun. I would be spending my days researching--reading biographies, wikipedia, magazines, newspapers, etc.
This is pure entertaiment for most of us. I was totally entertained this weekend. Enty certainluy delivered the goods as promised.
Minneapolis even has two tax rates depending on whether you're downtown or not. And I don't know what either of them are.
ReplyDeleteBrendalove's comment should be posted permanently at the top of CDAN's homepage. Personally, I'm still shocked that Ent felt able to reveal the Keanu item. And the Sinatra one has murder for sex, for god's sake! I really don't get why people are so disappointed. This is the nature of gossip - it's all rumor and innuendo, and it's rare that you get a straight out confirmation. I have to pull out the old chestnut - if you hate it that much, go somewhere else. Remember that for every post you hate, there are people who love it, and we don't want you to scare Ent away from posting everything he can.
I don't think it's Wino. For one thing, she's only 24. Enty hinted that the person had a lot of sexual partners in the past, famous I assume, and Wino hasn't slept around that much because she's been married to/with Blaaaaaaake for quite a while. She may have a couple of men in her past, but nobody famous and not enough that there'd be a ton of health warnings issued, which I got the impression was necessary in this case.
ReplyDeletedidn't he pretty much tell us it was Wino already? Each time he posts a picture of her he makes a comment about her health and cryptic messages like that...
ReplyDeleteLissa - yes! :)
ReplyDeleteHe drove me crazy with this, but I think it is the last one with Angelina Jolie when she says "one of them is Angelina Jolie". However, I would think more along the lines of someone else besides Winslet, although she is definitely the biggest A actress in Europe. The other foreign big A Actress is Cate Blanchett from Oz. ...
ReplyDeleteP.S. She's British. Kind of fitting if you think about the holiday and all.

Amy has been promiscuous since she was 15, and being married (for about a year?) has not stopped her sleeping around. She gets off on new partners as a validation. Most of them were/are musicians and media guys - not household names, but band members etc. So for me that part fits Amy perfectly.
You know these people who are moaning about how Ent only reveals what people already know or could find out with a little digging?
ReplyDeleteBullcrap.
I sent Ent a bit of info about an actor a long time ago, back when all this started. He used it in a blind, and I thought it was screamingly obvious who he was talking about. But it was never solved. If you are so clever it should have been easy.
Lissa - I haven't had a chance to read the posts from last week, so I may have missed some stuff. Wino's PR people SEEMED to confirm that she's got early-stage emphysema last week. Is that all a sham? If so, it's pretty interesting that the British tabs aren't all over this possibility. Lord knows they've accused the woman of having everything else, so why not AIDS...
ReplyDeleteI can't remember his exact comment, but one of the pictures he posted said something about her health. It alluded to her being the singer with HIV+. As for the british tabs, I don't really know much about them, but maybe since it is HIV they don't want to touch it. I know I wouldn't if I was a journalist. If you can even call them that over there.
ReplyDeleteFound it...Be sure to read the last sentence especially...
ReplyDelete"Organizers wanted to cancel her, but it seems that Amy wisely had been paid upfront and so they were stuck with her. I hope she enjoyed that payday because she is never going to get another like it. When you don't respect your fans or understand that $2M for 20 minute paydays don't grow on trees, then you deserve whatever you get. If you are so f**ked up in general that you can't even stay somewhat sober for four hours or so then you seriously need to be somewhere else besides a stage. You also better save that money because you are going to need it if all those rumors about your health are true."
Lissa -
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hadn't seen this post. Yeah, it could definitely be Wino.
As for the Brit tabs? They don't give a crap if something is true and they don't give a crap if it's a damaging accusation like AIDS. These buttwipes routinely post videos of celebs doing drugs...and in George Michaels' case they actually filmed the man coming out of the bushes after a late-night tryst in a London park with some guy he picked up there. Funniest shite ever. GM kept screaming, "It's my culture! It's my culture" - referring to the propensity gay men have for having sex with strangers in parks. Apparently that little L.A. arrest years ago taught him nothing.
So yeah, bottom line, if the British tabs had any inkling of these rumors they'd print them in a heartbeat. Especially if it's Wino. They LOVE chronicling that poor junkie's miseries. They act like they want her to get herself together, but they don't. She's money in the bank for them.
I think all the moaning and groaning about the so-called haters is pretty funny. People are getting pretty fired up about nothing.
ReplyDeleteI think there's more complaining about the complainers than actual complaints about the reveals.
sugartwiiiins:
ReplyDeleteso let me see here... i guess you are just complaining about the people complaining about the complainers, right? LOL!!!
i think *that* is pretty funny.
Thanks for all the fun reveals Enty!!! Some of them I was way, way off base about, and some I was right on. Personally I think the final PS is brilliant- I like that it could be interpreted a couple of ways.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!!
I know that people enjoy the guessing aspect of it and that it can be fun, but patting him on the back and saying that he is brave like he was fighting the war in Iraq is just silly.
ReplyDeleteNothing brave was accomplished here. Everyone knows that Keanu is a bloody mess. When he's not drunk, he's high on crystal meth and you can see him passed out in pictures, puking in pictures and his eyes are almost always red.
Who's the HIV singer? Who's the fake singer? Who's the rapist? Who's the wife beater?
i'd really rather know the fake singer/rapist/wife beater/pedo blinds because i'd like to sharpen my bullshit meter. i mean it's a service to society in my eyes. i'm also having a lot of wine and recovering from a family reunion tonight. sorry-hi all! long time lover of this blog & comments, first post.
ReplyDeleteCate Blanchett is Australian
ReplyDeleteIf the British hint is the HIV singer, AND . . .
ReplyDeleteThe HIV singer is NOT Amy Winehouse . . .
What about Joss Stone? Remember that whole Dallas Austin/F*cks for Trax thing saying she sleeps with producers to get recorded?
I don't know much about her, but since Austin dropped names on the guys she slept with, I would imagine there is a roster.
Don't shoot me - I'm just trying to lively up this place =)
I think Jessica and Sarah are really the former posters who left in disgust last time and decided to peek in.
ReplyDeleteactually i'm the one who complained he said he would revea something he didn't, and I'mjust experimenting here with my avatar.
ReplyDeleteRe Africa and HIV transmission:
ReplyDeletea) There's a lot more "down low" sex there than is commonly thought, as the stigma there is even stronger than it is here in the African American community...also, don't underestimate the factor of female-male anal sex in Africa or anywhere else
b) Yes, it's much easier (estimated factor of 5 to 10) for an uncircumcised man to contract HIV, and male circumcision in Sub Saharan Africa is extremely rare.
c) STDs other than HIV are much more prevalent there, and much more likely to go untreated. The ulcers from these STDs provide a more effecient pathway for transmission during conventional sex
d) most importantly, and almost completely overlooked, is what may be the strongest factor in HIV transmission on that continent...and that's the widespread use of unsterilized syringes for antibiotic injections. The only rural health clinic in a 50-mile radius, staffed entirely by one nurse with poor training, is the rule, rather than the exception in Sub Saharan Africa. Receiving an injection from an HIV-infected needle is a 100% efficient way of contracting HIV. That's a lot higher odds than 9/10,000. This is the likely pathway for the lightning speed that HIV spread throughout SSA in the 1980s and 90s.
OK, off my soapbox.
mac, your thoughts about the blind and Lindsay Lohan were very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHey Mooshki, Mr. Spader is the hotness, I so wish he would call me.........super YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteAcetomato777, honestly I did think of Joss Stone as well for a minute there
And given all the kinky movies he's made, I bet he'd be amazing in bed!
ReplyDeleteOMG I know it! Can you imagine? Ohhhhh, shiver me timbers! Of course, I'd have to shave the timbers first, but it would so be worth it
ReplyDeleteThanks Ent! Hope the rest of your weekend was nice, relaxing and 'machine' free.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to Lily Allen.
ReplyDelete...but I suck at the blinds.
On the same day the blind of the actressess was posted, there in the random photos is a pic of Kate Winslet in a...of all things...red dress.
ReplyDeleteI think the PS refers to the Angelina blind, and I'm convinced the other actress is Kate.
Hey VD, what you're saying makes sense, but that would mean that the singer reveal was not honored by ENT, and I just don't believe he'd do that. I don't believe his fans would be prepared to believe that either. ENT is too good to us. Unless, of course, we've all overlooked another reveal within the reveals. Or, the PS has a double reveal, which would be so effen clever. OMG, I need a drink.
