Which Forbes Boss Compromised By P.I. Shots Of Mistress?
Klutzy Adam Penenberg, in a boring story about personal privacy for Media Post, gives away a juicy tidbit about one of his former bosses at Forbes. The magazine decided against a probe into the chief executive of Kroll Associates, the private investigators, because of a fear that he might possess photographs of a high-ranking Forbes executive's mistress, and expose the relationship.

Who Is Bear?
"As I have mentioned, the Bear and I were introduced through Sam, perhaps as a means to get me off his (Sam's) back, but I suspect more as a goodwill gesture toward Bear, whom even Sam kissed up to. More »

Name That Childish CNN Anchor
According to her HuffPo bio, "Linda Keenan worked 7 years as a head writer/senior producer for various programs on CNN. Before that, she worked as a writer/producer for Bloomberg TV." Now she's a mommyblogger. Which makes her more than qualified to present a series of amusing blind items about childish behavior by famous television newsanchors. After the jump, we solicit your guesses and present a couple of ours. More »

Which "Big Hollywood Actress" Is A Total Lez?
"WHICH big Hollywood actress is about to come out of the closet?" today's Page Six just asks. "She's been living with her girlfriend in a small town, where all the neighbors know, and the two are now engaged to be married." Is "outing" celebrities inherently trashy? Is it just an excuse to be kind of homophobic while pretending to be interested in "the truth"? Who cares! Here's a poll! More »

Who's The Rehabbing Designer With The Model Connection?
Today's Page Six asks: "WHICH designer who's gone 'round and 'round the revolving rehab door gets his fix from a model—who's been in rehab herself, though for a different problem?" Um, we spent like an hour working on a poll for this but all the answers had poor Marc Jacobs in them so we didn't bother? (Despite this AP photo from the other night, and despite the coverline of this 2002 issue of Women's Day ("Tragic Linda Evangelista In Rehab"), we're pretty sure the god-like Linda Evangelista never actually did.) So?

Who's The Blacked-Out Actor Playing Backseat Tonsil Hockey With Another Dude?
Yesterday's Page Six asks, "WHICH big TV star who dabbles in nightlife enterprise took his drunkeness to the next level? He was spotted sucking face with another guy in his car while hammered." Hmm! "Nightlife enterprise?" Well, we took a stab at it, now it's your turn. More »

Gossips Nail T.V. Hottie As Manhunting Sex Lurker!
In a strange reversal, today Page Six published the answers to a blogger's blind item. And not only does Page Six say that former CNN gay hottie Thomas Roberts is the hot anchor with the nudie sex-seeking Manhunt profile (that's SFW, just shirtless shots), but they describe it as "another embarrassment" for tabloid T.V. show "The Insider" and compare it to "Insider" host Pat O'Brien's sex-partying hard-drinkin' rehab scandal. We are not so scandalized. Near as we can tell, Page Six's Paula Froelich is still a regular correspondent for "The Insider"—(or did they sever ties last Fall? That would make more sense)—despite Page Six's description of it as "a tabloid show known best for its round-the-clock coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's death and featuring carnival-like freaks during sweeps week." But we're loving the new Moral Police outlook for fall over at Page Six! It's so extremely unlikely!

Who's The Hollywood Trio On Drugs?
Today's Page Six wonders: "WHICH Hollywood trio of friends is in trouble? One is on crack, one's on smack, and the other cheats so much on his wife that he single-handedly is supporting several hookers..." We've narrowed it down to a few possible candidates; your input is, of course, mandatory. More »

Is 'Radar' In Trouble Already?
Yesterday the Daily News's resident Aussie-gossie Ben Widdicombe took a break from doing blind items about closeted actors and offered up this little gem: "Which struggling new glossy is so out of money that staffers are having to pay for photos on personal credit cards?" Hmm! The reader who sent this in suggested it was Portfolio, but we're inclined to disbelieve that; for one thing, there's the famous $100 million figure that's been bandied about ad nauseam, and for another, Condé would probably close down first. To be extra fair, we considered all the suspects. More »

Which Manhattan Media Executive Will Reveal His Office Affair?
It's been a while since we've had a guessing game, because lately the only blind items gossip hen Ben Widdicombe's been offering up have been along the lines of "WHICH recently rehabbed cokehead starlet still snorts coke" and that's just boring. But today's is kind of interesting to us because we have no idea who it's about. None. "Which very senior Manhattan media executive looks like he might be about to go public with that office affair everyone has been talking about?" Everyone, eh? Please send us your guesses.

What Male Oscar Winner Is Always Drunk?
Post feminist Andrea Peyser strikes a blow for the sisterhood today, demanding equal effort from celebrity men to join the unholy trinity of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears in the Superstar Retard Public Spectacle Iditarod. The bad boys have settled down—Sean Penn, for instance.Sean boy may have won an Oscar, but he really hit my zenith the day he was arrested for tying up Madonna. But those days are, sadly, in the rear view. Now, Sean is too busy practicing foreign policy with enemies of the state to tie up wifey Robin Wright, or anyone else. Can he be popped for treason? Please?It's a good question, but it sort of blows a hole in our guess for today's Page Six blind item about the constantly drunk Oscar-winner. More »

What Prize-Winning Author's Wife Left Him For A Tycoon?
Apparently, an email is "making the rounds"—we haven't seen it, which makes us suicidally sad!—about a scandal in our literary community. Per Galleycat, in this email "a prize-winning author notifies some of the grad students in his creative writing program that his lovely wife, also a writer, has left him for one of America's most prominent captains of industry—so those students can 'clarify the issues for any of your fellow grad students who ask,' as 'this sort of thing can get wildly distorted pretty quickly.'" Ron Hogan credits this email as more plausible than the Jonathan Galassi-Bill Clegg rumor, which means it must be, like, realer than real! Do you have any guesses? Send 'em in or leave 'em in the comments and we'll run a poll later.
[UPDATE: asked and answered!]
Finally We Get To Run A Blind Item [Galleycat]
"I'm a wire photographer. The socialite has to be someone you can't sell. Any photographer will take a picture of a girl you can sell except Samantha Cole—that's where I draw the line. Berkelhammer doesn't sell and she's super desperate. She'll stand over your shoulder while you write her name to make sure you spell it right."

The Socialite And The Blow Job
Today's Page Six asks a very interesting question: "WHICH 'socialite' who's suffering photo withdrawal since socialiterank.com closed got down on her knees for a party paparazzo? He accepted her favors and then snapped away." Isn't that generous of her! We decided to consider the most obvious candidates; you, of course, will select the one you think is most guilty of giving out party favors. (Separately, you may also consider: Which party paparazzo? Bill Cunningham? (KIDDING.) Patrick McMullan? Urgh.) You might also speculate on who might plant such an item about someone! Also: We have considered that putting the word "socialite" in quotation marks was some sort of code, and have adjusted our guesses accordingly.
