Blind Item #6 - Reader Blind

The sometimes author/ wannabe sidekick to the former A++ lister who is trying again has a son with a name that is the same as another wannabe A++ lister.  They are old friends going back years but there is another reason his son bears his friend's name.  Before he got married, his wife dated the friend/wannabe A++ lister.  They were almost married but his family did not approve.  At one point, she had a pregnancy scare which turned out not be real.  She still has feelings for him as she married the author/sidekick on the rebound and generally thinks he is kind of a dork.
