Blind Item #4

This former A list tween actor who has not worked since a huge scandal rocked the show almost a decade ago is still in the business. No, he is not in front or behind the cameras, but he holds "talent searches." His part of the country is known for a lot of the tween shows they film and manufactured singing groups. He likes to find very very poor parents who are out of work or drug addicted with children/tweens who are attractive. He then introduces them to producers of television and music and the exploitation occurs. The parents are happy for the money and stay out of the way. Our former tween actor takes a cut of every connection he makes.
