Not that we normally offer the ironclad fact-checking certitude of say, CBS News, but occasionally we take extra delight in passing along a rumor that we can't confirm. We've heard that there is a contestant mutiny afoot on daytime reality self-improvement show Starting Over.

According to the whispers, a security guard, fearing that an intruder was breaking in to the house where the show shoots last week, used some quick-thinking to protect the contestants by quarantining them in the production office...where all the "case files" that contain each person's personality problems—and the producers' nefarious plans for them—are kept. Editors are allegedly hard at work to sanitize the fuck-up for Starting Over's daily broadcast, while the producers try to keep the show's stars from "expressing their anger issues" by bolting. Maybe a little rebellion is exactly what they need.

But like we said, we can't confirm this, so it's probably either a publicity ploy or a silly misunderstanding. Oh, well!
