Today's Blind Items - The Comeback - Mr. X

There’s been a lot of hush-hush talk about the upcoming season of that historical true crime series. What I know for sure is that it will center on that infamous discotheque and the shady behind the scenes stuff from the two owners of the nightspot and their inner circle. It will be shooting later this year for an air date of next year. As for the cast, no one has been confirmed so far but the singer/nepo baby is a sure lock for the deceased half of the club owners and actors from the producer/creator/showrunner’s past shows are rumored to be making reprisal guest star appearances. But the biggest casting grab is going to be a surprise. Allegedly the producer has sent scripts to the treatment center where the alliterate former talk show host is staying. The role is for fictional radio and TV host/gossip columnist/socialite who is a amalgamation of  Nikki Haskell, Cindy Adams, Rona Barrett, Suzy Knickerbocker and the host herself… and she runs an extortion racket. No word on whether or not the former host has accepted the role, but the role seems tailor made for her. My bigger questions are this: how did the producer know where she’s at [he isn’t the only celeb who has sent her stuff] when her family apparently doesn’t? Is her alleged illness not as severe as we thought, so why are they sending her scripts if she’s having rumored memory problems? So many questions…
