Today's Blind Items - The Payoff
This B- list actress/singer/celebrity has cost her parents $1M. That was the amount of the payoff to a tabloid who had photos of the offspring on a bed with another woman making out and half undressed. The offspring was covered in all the right places so the tabloid could have published the photos. Instead they made a deal and this time it was just for cash. No trades. The tabloid needs the money to survive a few more months. I wonder what will happen when the tabloid does finally fold here in a bit. Do the parents have the only copies of the photos? Will they keep paying off tabloids? You know why they are paying off? They don't think their daughter is gay and don't want her to be forced into explaining it later. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is gay. This is not her first time or her first other girlfriend.
Beyonce and Jay Z are paying off tabloids already?
ReplyDeleteB. Hogan
ReplyDeletehaha @Barton!
ReplyDeleteNo clue.
Is this Willow Smith again?
ReplyDeleteLike the willow smith guess - it would have been too easy if they put more detail about parents in blind.
Delete@VIP--(of course) you nailed it!
DeleteI thought Willow too but does she act? Also with both parents being Bi would it be an issue for them?
ReplyDeleteMontana, if Willow emulates either of her parents, she does indeed act. Act straight.
DeleteI was thinking Willow Smith too.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't Willow Smith still a kid? A tabloid isn't gonna publish photos like that of a kid... I hope.
ReplyDeleteWillow had a tongue ring at one point. They said it was fake. More like, they had her remove it.
ReplyDeleteHer Tumblr page was filled with half-naked women but since has changed greatly. Guess her parents finally paid attention to her.
Like mother, like daughter.
Scout Willis?
ReplyDelete@ Zeeky
ReplyDeleteTimes are hard.
Since she was clothed, it wouldn't be considered porn.
Miley? But I would rank her higher....
ReplyDeleteLMFAO @ FSP!!!!
ReplyDeleteWillow is only 12... the wording of "on a bed with another woman" makes it seem like someone older than a tween, no??
Are Will and Jada practicing Scientologists? Not sure of COS stance but maybe that would lead them to buy off pics.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that it says that the offspring was covered in all the right places makes me think it is a minor. Because if it was someone older than 18, the tabloid could just use black bars to cover indecent body parts
ReplyDeleteVictoriaJustice or Zendaya (if she sings)
ReplyDeleteWillow will turn 13 at the end of the month. I think printing pics of a 12 year old is pretty low.
ReplyDeleteOne less tabloid, one less cover of of The K-Trash I have to see while standing inline at Walmart!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand; if the daughter is a "B- list actress/singer/celebrity", why are the parents paying off the tabloid? Wouldn't she have her own money??
ReplyDeleteIf she is under age, then she prolly don't have access to her money.
ReplyDeleteIf the parents are smart or they have a good lawyer advising them the money should be placed in a trust fund for the kid until the kid is legal and give them an allowance un the meantime.
ReplyDeleteEverybody saying Willow understands she is extremely young? And someone would be responsible to turn the child molestor in if they know that person.
If it IS Willow, the blind would make sense because they'd be charged with distributing child pornography if she wasn't covered up. But still, posting photos of a 12-year-old is vile, and I wonder who would honestly be buying the magazine to see that other than pedophiles. And the magazine is...the Enquirer? Or Star?
ReplyDeleteElissa, I think this is a clue to the identity of the person. Someone with parents who run/manage their career.
ReplyDeleteIf you spend any time with middle school kids you know making out on a bed with some clothes off isn't surprising. They are very sexually active these days. It's terrifying. The tabloid would want the shock value of who the patents are, not necessarily the sexuality of the situation.
ReplyDeleteI agree Willow is too young. Someone else.
ReplyDeleteZoe Kravitz anyone?
DeleteZoe Kravitz anyone?
DeleteAlso, she may be with another 13 year old and not a child molestor.
ReplyDeleteAll still wrong though.
What about Asslee Simpson?
ReplyDeleteBella Thorne
ReplyDeleteI want to know what tabloid is in that much trouble.

ReplyDelete@ Count There was a story a little while back that stated Jada makes the children work for their own money.
ReplyDeleteFreya: they work hard for the money....so hard for the money....
DeleteHow about Emma Roberts?
ReplyDelete@Jane the blind says the offspring is with another woman, not girl, so she is a molester
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure this is Demi Lovato. She keeps getting in trouble with pics of her and other women/girls based on the blinds I've read.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this fits, but what about Georgia May Jagger and Cara Dewhatsherpickle, they were in the photos yesterday
ReplyDeleteMegan McCain. Oh, if only...
ReplyDeleteHow about either Kendall or Kylie Jenner?
ReplyDeleteRumer Willis.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry the Jenner girls don't sing.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I also thought Demi. she's just kinda old to be having her parents pay off though. She's old enough to do so herself.
ReplyDeleteAmanda Bynes?
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is someone underage, since the pics would never be published anyway, since it would be labeled kiddieporn then and the mag would go under immediately.
ReplyDeleteWillow has the worst hair cut ever.
ReplyDeleteI wish this was Megan McCain
ReplyDeleteshe is insufferable
I doubt it's Demi. I don't think her parents have that kind of money. Also, this comes across as a minor/barely legal kid who's still under parental watch.

ReplyDeleteAs long as no naughty bits are showing, not kiddie porn. Lil bim lez pics would be the sales spike a dying publication would need.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Willow. Enty said another "woman" and did not refer to the person as a tween. If child porn had been part of the blind, he would have exploited it.
ReplyDeleteHow about Clint Eastwood's daughter. Does she sing?
Miley Cyrus? We've all seen her nekkid but not with another woman.
ReplyDeleteI shudder to think that Willow Smith is anywhere near B- list. Also not an actress.
ReplyDeleteDon't think this is willow smith. She's not old enough, but more than that that, I don't think her parents would even worry about the pictures for some reason. This sounds like Bella Thorne to me.
ReplyDeleteParis Hilton. Fits the description.
ReplyDeleteA Willis. They have their mum's penchant for soda stream refills, and their dad's preference for fisting.
ReplyDeleteWarwick!
ReplyDeleteThe impression I get from the blind is that it's the parents who care about their daughter being exposed as gay. Not the daughter, but the parents. So look for conservative/religious parents for whom this would be an issue.
ReplyDeleteNext bit - neither of the parents are described as celebrities, so I think we can exclude accomplished persons like the Pinketts.
So - parents who aren't celebrities themselves, but who really don't want to believe their daughter's gay, and yet who have the bucks to make such a payoff.
Parents: the Simpsons. Daughter: Jessica.
Someone asked which tabloid is in financial trouble. It is probably "National Enquirer" and its parent American Media International. They did a refinancing deal in the last year and there have been cash flow issues for a long time.
ReplyDeleteNobody would be publishing or threatening to publish any photos of Willow partially dressed on a bed making out with anyone. That would be child pornography.
ReplyDeleteTallulah Willis.
ReplyDeleteIf publication of scantily clad under age girls was child pornography, then every retailer with a girl under 18 in a bikini on their website or in their catalog would be up on criminal charges. If their private parts were covered and not being touched, then there would be no problem with publishing the photos.
ReplyDeleteIf the photos were not publishable, then the parents wouldn't have had to pay a dime. Do you think they didn't consult an attorney before forking over a million dollars?
Personally, here in the digital age, I wouldn't believe the parents got the only copies of the pics. Even if there was a penalty written into the sale contract, it is a publication on the brink of bankruptcy. They could publish them as a last ditch cash grab a week before going under.
That brings a tremendous thought. Say the Enquirer or Star was finished, 2 editions left before going under. Would they publish all the stories they buried? Would they throw caution to the wind and tell where all the bodies in Hollywood lie?
It's pretty sad when parents are willing to pay $1 million to prove their offspring isn't gay. Who the f*ck cares? No one who isn't an old fart with one foot in the grave (do the world a favor, ye bigots, and die, already).
ReplyDeleteBeing gay isn't like the plague. Being gay never caused The Dark Ages or The Holocaust. Being an asshole did.
Britney Spears maybe?
ReplyDeleteScratch that guess I'd say Brit Brit is A - liking the Miley guess but don't know that the rating is right? She can't sell anything out on her own but wouldn't she have A+ name recognition?
DeleteNot Willow Smith. She's too young. From the wording I thought the offspring was in her late teens/early twenties. I would've thought Dakota Fanning but she doesn't sing does she?
ReplyDeleteMy guess would've been Demi Lovato but I like the Bella Thorn guesses better.
