Which Pop Star Was Blackmailed with Indecent Photographs?
The British courts are blocking her identity, but her blackmailer is headed to jail. This star was dropped as a weight-loss spokesperson, this '80s costars had a romantic reunion, and the return of Coke Mom.
1. "The 'instantly recognisable' celebrity received a series of threatening letters from the blackmailer demanding cash in exchange for 27 images stored on one of two Apple Mac laptops which were taken in a burglary at her London home. The musician, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would have suffered enormous personal distress and humiliation if the photographs had been made public, a court heard. She has taken out a court order banning the media from disclosing her name, age, nationality and whether she is in a relationship or has children. The exact nature of what appeared in the photographs has not been disclosed." [Telegraph]
2. "A well-known weight loss company wanted to hire this multi-hyphenate beauty. She was interested, but her manager ruined the deal by making ridiculous demands of the company. Of course, the manager requested the usual star treatment for his client. Beyond that, though, he absolutely refused to let the company meet or speak with the star before the first photoshoot. He also insisted that the company lie about her starting weight and Photoshop the "Before" photographs of the star so that she would appear less chubby than she actually was. The company refused and dropped her as a spokesperson before the campaign even began." [Blind Gossip]
3. "This couple in an iconic '80s movie (not one of those movies by that guy) got together years after the film to do commentary for the DVD. The reunion was so inspiring that the two ended up having a brief affair (we hear they slept together a grand total of four times). The two have since parted ways, still with good feelings towards one another, but they claim they lived out this relationship years later that they only dreamed about when making the movie."

4. "When we last checked in with Coke Mom she was actually doing better. Well, better has turned into really bad now. At least for one night. Coke Mom went to an event at her child/ren's school last week. It was a combination of talk to the teachers and general kind of meeting. Our actress mom was absolutely blitzed. She could barely utter a sentence, carried around her shoes all night because she could not walk on the heels and whenever she would introduce herself, would add, 'And yes I am her.' I want to make it clear she was not driving that night. Her long suffering husband was." [CDaN]
