BLIND ITEM #15


Which CNN personality displayed grace under fire when an attendee collapsed at her book party? A spy says she bent over the fallen attendee, revealing her control top pantyhose, made sure everything was okay and kept right on fielding questions from the crowd.

BLIND ITEM UPDATE


So-
I was talking to a CNN alum yesterday about the third comment on Blind Item# 14. This Peon exclaimed that the comment is a rather tasty bit of gossip because:
A) It isn't commonly known
and
B) One person in this equation is married. To someone else.
Now-I don't know if the gossip or the marital status claim is true.
Do you?
If anyone can clear this up for me, I'd be much obliged. Google has let me down. I hope you Peons can come to the rescue.

BLIND ITEM #14



Which early rising news duo despise each other so much that they can scarcely stand to be in the same shot? This set ain't big enough for them. For a while, the hatred was so palpable that they were only in a 2 shot at the top of the show. But there's a new EP in town. And this sharp shooter is demanding more 2 shots. So the question is, can Butch Cassidy and the Sundunce Kid hide their irritation behind fake smiles? Will there be a shootout on the set? Stay tuned.

BLIND ITEM #13


In light of the Jim Cramer/Jon Stewart battle:
Which former CNNer quit Jim Cramer's CNBC show "Mad Money" a few years ago, citing an "ethical dilemma" with Cramer's brand of cheerleading?
Ah, but no one listens to peons...

BLIND ITEM #12


Which CNN cutie, known more for her hair extensions than her extensive knowledge of news, really loves her breakfast sandwiches? She was wolfing one down when she heard the on air countdown. So she simply shoved the eggy delight inside her jacket, up against her boob.
She delivered the news.
As soon as the camera light went off, she happily retrieved the savory goods from her bosom and resumed munching on her breakfast.

BLIND ITEM #11


A Peon Confidential reader sent in this juicy nugget from Blind Item Rehash:

"WHAT top cable news executive is repeatedly cheating on his wife with younger women? He even recently made a play for one of his on-air babes."

This item originally came from The New York Post. As any devoted reader knows, The New York Post (owned by News Corp, parent company to Fox News Channel) seems to delight in stirring up shit about CNN. Which is why I'm guessing CNN for the cable news element of the item...but who is the executive? And who is the on-air babe?

BLIND ITEM #10


Which southern fried CNN personality had a problem with her "Aunt Flow" and her cash flow? Turns out she wound up asking a tour guide to buy her a tampon while she was stuck in a CNN Center bathroom stall. The tour guide obliged...but was never compensated.
Sure it was only a couple bucks. And I know Elizabeth wasn't there to help you. But friend, couldn't you have been a little sweeter to a minimum wage employee?

BLIND ITEM #9


Which CNN talking head, known more for a winning smile than knowledge of facts and figures, went to the bathroom during the show and forgot to take off their microphone pack.
Consequently, it fell into the toilet.

BLIND ITEM #8


Which former CNN Atlanta VJ, now a Beltway Babe, recently hosted a dinner party in which the i-pod mix revealed a disturbing musical predilection? A Peon Confidential spy says the party ground to a halt when Celine Dion's harrowing "Titanic" song assaulted everyone's ear drums...
Sounds like a sonic BLITZ KRIEG to me!

Which former CNN VJ, who now lives in New York, and whose last name rhymes with button, drank too much last night and woke up this morning on the sofa with a piece of deli meat in one hand and an unknown stain on her Don Ho shirt?

BLIND ITEM #6


Breaking News:

Remember Blind Item #4? The one that was removed by request?
Well the joker in that item is about to pay the piper. Sources say divorce is just around the corner.
No need to suspend disbelief on this one folks. This lonely man is about to get a little bit lonelier...or maybe not. He does like to keep it all in the family.
Just remember-you read it here first.

BLIND ITEM #5


A much-celebrated CNN talking head has a sullen moment Thursday night during commercial break. He admits to being lonely. The crew is stunned, so they start joking around with him to cheer him up...and offer to take him to Scores Gentleman's Club.
This talking head replies, "Scores? What do they have there, whores? I don't like loose women."

The crew assures him there are no whores there, but he could get a lap dance.
But this offer doesn't entice him either. Just before going back on air he makes it clear: he doesn't like lap dances, or loose women...He prefers bisexual women.

GOSSIP ANGUISH


I've been getting some e-mails from people who feel cheated by the removal of yesterday's Blind Item. I picture these people ripping their hair out, pounding their fists on their desks shouting, "WHY? WHY?"
And as those who saw the Blind Item early in the day can verify: really juicy rumors like that are rare. I promise it is the last time such drastic removal of quality CNN dirt will occur. In the future, I will make sure the Blind Items are blind, not just myopic.
In the meantime, note the update in the blind item section.
Is it a random list? You be the judge.

BLIND ITEM #4




BLIND ITEM REMOVED BY REQUEST.







UPDATE: A list of unappetizing things:

1.) Bits of gristle in a Whopper.
2.) The Lone Pube.
3.) Getting too familiar with your wife's sister.

BLIND ITEM #3


Which TV twosome (who share more in common than just a workplace) may not need that alarm clock in the near future? A wake up call indeed...

UPDATE:
Well, that was quick TMZ! The word is out I guess: O'Briens out, Roberts and Chetry in. I did find the TMZ comments section pretty humorous though. One person wrote: "I have been wondering when this would happen...Married couples do not work together on a show."

Which scandal-plagued local news anchor (who claims to be falsely accused) exhibited equally bizarre behavior with male VJs at CNN's Atlanta bureau?
