For
a gossip writer - or even just a super-keen gossip follower - blind
items (so-called because the story keeps the reader 'blind' about the
identity of the main characters) are like catnip. They are
irresistible, they suck us in, and they get us all worked up, but
usually with no pay-off. We almost never get confirmation of the real

'Toothy Tile,' the young male celebrity who won't come out of the
closet, usually rumored to be Jake Gyllenhaal (sometimes Matthew
McConaughey, tho' since he knocked a chick up that now seems doubtful),
but forever unconfirmed. It's frustrating, because speculation about
these stories is soooo much fun - but ultimately so unsatisfying
because, well, we'll just never know if they're true.
