You know what's good in the summer? A nice glass of rose. You know what's not good in the summer? Red wine with ice cubes in it. I should know. Anyway, I'll tell you what's great in the summer: blind items! After the jump we have a star who stole a modeling contract away from her sister and a popular film director who always keeps his wife lesbianly (not a word) entertained. 1) "Which sexy superstar upset her sibling by muscling in on a huge modeling deal?" [MIrror] 2) "I've heard of the casting couch, but this puts an entirely new twist on it. So you have a director who is an A list director all the way. Award winning? Sure. The thing about this guy though is that his wife is notorious for coming on a set and finding a woman to play with during the shoot. Invariably an extra, or a woman with a small role, she can often find her role expanded to a bigger role if she is especially good to the director's wife over the course of the shoot. The director himself is never involved in any of the hanky panky, but does acquiesce to his wife's demands for her play thing's role." [CDaN] (Kate Capshaw, you minx...)

Everyone is cheating on their lovers these days. People are restless, I guess. Feeling some sort of apocalyptic tug at their insides, perhaps. I mean, after the jump alone we've go two Best Dressed folks stepping out with each other, a television star using his girlfriend as comparison when hitting on other laides, and another fine fellow who was macking backstage at the Teen Choice Awards while his poor girlfriend sat dumbly in the audience. Enjoy/weep for your own ruined (or soon-to-be) relationship. 1) "Which stylish lady on the latest International Best-Dressed List in Vanity Fair is said to be having an affair with a dapper married man who is on the same list a few pages away? 'She doesn't care who she hurts,' sniped one detractor." [P6] 2) "Which posh crooner has been hunting down a sexy northern girl for some hot dates?" [Mirror] 3) "Well this former B list television actor and now hanging by a thread anyway he can C lister must have given up on ever getting his girlfriend back. Either that or she appreciates when her boyfriend hits on women by saying, 'you look just like my ex.'" [CDaN] 4) "This B- film lister is a serial cheater. However, his girlfriend knows this and so goes to great lengths to not let him out of her sight. Well yesterday at the Teen Choice Awards he told her she wasn't allowed to go backstage and so she dutifully sat in the audience while he hit on women left and right and filled up his phone with 'business contacts.'" [CDaN]

Welcome back into the fluorescent, sucked into it screaming like you were, like babies from the womb. Taken from the cool waters of the Atlantic or from the Adirondack chair or from some fuzzy brunch in the West Village. It's working time now, and those fun days are merely ghosts. At least we've got blind items for you, five of 'em. After the jump you can read about a fashionable couple fleeing New York for the left coast, a charitable singing duo, an actor addicted to donating blood, a B/C actress who helps kids, and an actor who may, in fact, not be an asshole. 1) "Which fashionable couple is trying to quash rumors of his infidelities and their possible separation by fleeing NYC to California for the summer?" [NYDN] 2) "This sister singing duo from a foreign country were performing a show in Los Angeles one time and as usual it was completely sold out. Not a huge place, and as a result there were lots of people who were sent away without getting in. Well, there was a group of about ten girls who were not going to go anywhere and they decided they would at least sit outside the place in the hopes they could hear a few notes at least. Well somehow that news made it to the two wingers and they decided to take the entire group of girls and brought them backstage and let them watch the entire show from the the side of the stage. After the show they posed for photos, signed autographs and gave away practically anything that was giveable." [CDaN] 3) "This former A list television actor on a very huge super sized hit network comedy and now someone who is trying to find some other identity other than that character either in television or film makes sure that he gives blood every two months like clockwork. He has been doing this now for almost ten years all with no fanfare or attention." [CDaN] 4) "Wow this actress is the epitome of a B/C lister. Everyone knows her because she has had some great roles on some great television shows and some films. Every time she gets her own series, it doesn't do so well, but she is incredibly well liked. Right now she is filming a remake/sequel to one of my favorite films of all time from the 70's. I'm cheesy that way. Anyway, when she is in LA, she volunteers at an after school program which helps kids with their homework and to give them adult guidance they may not get at home. When she is filming in a different city, she calls around and tries to do the same thing at other schools on a temporary basis." [CDaN] 5) "Is this actor A list? Interesting question. He was an A list action film star and then kept giving it all away. Now he is probably still considered A list by definition, but probably more a B. Well in the past several years, this actor has without any publicity given away about $250,000 to various SPCA charities and other pet organizations. Turns out the guy everyone always thinks is a jerk is actually a pretty nice guy."

Hey hey Friday! And, August 1st! As we begin the tumble into autumn, let's try to hold onto some of the breezy, silly things of summer that we so enjoy. Like blind items! After the jump we have a supermodel who followed an actor across the pond and a troubled, druggy thesp. 1) "Which leggy supermodel chased an up-and-coming British actor to New York in a desperate attempt to date him?" [Mirror] 2) "Hey, it's definitely not Ben Affleck, but it is someone who starred with him in a film once. Of course that could be a lot of people so lets narrow it down to B- actor, 95% films, although two great television appearances that come to mind are also part of his resume. He has basically been off the radar the past year. Oh sure, a bit part here and a bit part there, but this actor with the A list facial recognition has spent the better part of the past year in rehab. Not quite the crack smoking in the living room firing off shotguns, but he did manage to abuse just about every drug you can imagine over the past three years. What finally sent him to rehab though was his ex wife's promise to take away visitation rights of their child(ren) if he didn't stop leaving her/him/them unattended so he could both score and use drugs. The drug paraphernalia littering the floor was probably also not good parenting." [CDaN]

Another day, another monster. Well, monster may be a bit harsh. Today we have two blind items, one about a bitchy TV personality who may be British and therefore completely moot, another about two closeted actors who pretend to be in love. What a world we live in. A world full of monsters. 1) "Which sleazy TV personality has a penchant for prostitutes? He gets his overworked PA to ring ahead and book his chosen girl." [Mirror] 2) "A very long time ago I posted about the B list couple (films and television for both with television being their forte) that hated being married to each other, but lived with it because they hated admitting they were wrong in public more. They are the couple who negotiated deals with each other for photos together. They never took many together, but at least it was some. Well now, they can't even stand to take photos together and her girlfriend is getting antsy and wants to take things public. He understands because he also plays for the home team, although not as openly. The problem is his career couldn't take the exposure of an outing while hers could probably use the boost. Oh, they do have (a) child(ren)." [CDaN]

Which day of the week didn't have much by way of blind items, save for a rambling one about B and C list actors and another about British soap operas? Wednesday. I'm gonna go with Wednesday. Enjoy what little we have, after the jump. 1) "I would have to say that this television and film actor is B list by his body of work, but probably C list in name recognition. Everyone who reads the site would know who he is and he definitely has a huge body of work. He really only has one award and it is not one you particularly want to win. Now, me, I would accept anything, but I'm easy. Anyway, our actor is married, with child(ren) and whenever he can get out of town or away from the wife he has someone that he is fairly serious about. She is definitely C list all the way but on a very hit network drama. She is gorgeous and busty and has a very well known beard she has been hanging out with in public. Apparently the couple feels they are safe when they are out of town and so are all over each other. Their most recent foray was slightly south of LA." [CDaN] (Very hit!) 2) "Which soap hunk is despised by colleagues for his unprofessional behaviour on-set?" [Mirror]

Time now for a round of blind item armchair detective. In today's wistful case, brought to us via Twitter user Ronen V, a TV personality is spotted during a vulnerable moment while browsing the affordable Johnson & Johnson-shaped products at a dollar emporium:

I know this is late. I have a perfectly good explanation for why, but I'm sure most of you don't speak Bulgarian and have never been "in the back of a Gypsy van." So that out of the way, let's move on to blind items. We've got a disgraced richie in Greenwich, another businessman with a porno past, a tiny terror, and something about soap operas. Enjoy. I'm going to go dress this wound. 1) "Which formerly wealthy Greenwich, Conn., gent, a victim of the economic malaise, saw the horse he bought for one of his kids get repossessed? When the red-faced dad threatened to call the cops, the repo man said, 'Go ahead. It's our horse.'" [P6] 2) "Which businessman is hiding his past as a pornographer now that his kids are being teased by private-school classmates? The ex-sleaze purveyor hired a team of hackers to flood the 'Net with bogus posts, so now the porno is buried under layers of fluff." [P6] 3) "What designer's grandson was a "tiny terror" at Super Saturday in the Hamptons last weekend? As Lorraine Bracco, Christy Turlington, Kelly Ripa and 1,500 others shopped at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund benefit, 'The kid was a category 5 tornado,' one shocked shopper tells us, 'knocking over clothing and displays.' He then lifted a woman's dress, and, the source adds: 'Neither his mother nor a nanny bothered to intercede. [The mom] didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed.' Finally, after several hours of misdeeds, the child was taken home." [I think that's a blind item?] [NYDN] 4) "This one almost sounds like a soap. So, CBS soap and you have a former star (#1)who broke up with her celebrity boyfriend (#2) for a guy on the show (#3). Well turns out that he was really enjoying her while she was with the other guy but didn't really want her full-time. Then after she did break up with her celebrity boyfriend and was expecting to be swept into her arms, she must have been devastated to learn that another woman on the show (#4) had also left her actor husband (#5) for #3 as well. Got all that?" [CDaN]

And somehow it's almost August, and we're tired with summer but don't want it to end. Time keeps moving on, and the blind items just keep coming. After the jump we have: an actor searching for coke, a coked-out chick-lit author, a cheating celeb, a "drunken buffoon," and an S&M enthusiast. Happy Monday! 1) "Which mega-actor sends members of his entourage to club doormen looking for blow?" [NDYN] 2) "Which newly minted chick-lit authoress needs to keep her extracurricular activities under better wraps? She was spotted desperately wiping her nose and clicking her jaw during a daytime bash out in the Hamptons last weekend and made no secret of the fact that she was flying high as a kite. " [NYDN] 3) "Which celeb is desperate to keep his girlfriend a secret because he's afraid his string of mistresses will find out and it'll scupper his chances with them?" [Mirror] 4) "Besides being a drunken buffoon, this A list actor has caused quite the stir at one of the gated complexes in which he lives. Seems he is a big fan of long walks at night. The thing is, his walks seem to always call for a break whenever he sees an open window that he can peer through. Doesn't seem to be all about sex. He just likes walking up to open windows and looking in. Neighbors don't appreciate it very much, although so far it has only involved private security and not the cops." [CDaN] 5) "Mild mannered on and off screen, this aging, but not old, former Academy Award winning actor has a favorite haunt. He loves this S&M club. Although his name is on the membership records, when he is at the club or an event he always wears a mask the entire time and has everyone call him Steve. His favorite activities always have to include redheads. Don't know why, just one of his kinks apparently." [CDaN] 6) "This male television A-lister and C+ film lister has a unique game. How many different women he can have sex with in 24 hours? No hookers allowed. Has to be women he picks up. So far his current record is 7. His male co-star with a steady girlfriend keeps track. Oh, and the girlfriend knows and thinks it is hot. Her word, definitely not mine." [CDaN]

Honestly, I don't know what to make of the blind items after the jump. I had a really weird dream last night and I'm still trying to process that. Alls I know is that there are reality stars, athletes, and a mis-matched celebrity couple. Friday!

The heat is breaking. I woke up feeling good this morning. You could take a walk and window shop and enjoy the day in this temperature. Instead we're all glued to a damn computer. Hopefully the three blind items after the jump will help ease the pain. TV stars and reality show people are doing things. That's the gist.

Drinking outdoors is fun. One of the best things about the summer. But drinking vodka while walking around during the day seems kind of depressing. Even so, it seems to be a habit for one lady celebrity. Her tale, plus a drunken reality TV star, a threesome-having couple, and a drugged-out talk show host, after the jump.

People must do things out in the open during the summer, because there are so few blind items these days. I guess it's too hot to do everything under cover of black velvet cloak. Looking forward to winter (not really) when everything is done in sssecret. For now, enjoy a supermodel who likes to chow down on KFC and a story of avianicide.

I saw it. I liked it. But not nearly as much as the four blind items I have for you after the jump. I mean all the greasepaint in all the world can't compete with a "diva" snooping on her new husband's BlackBerry and finding naughty things, a TV star two-timing with models, a scandalous pregnancy, and a reality TV star jeeping with some other lady's basketball star girlfriend.

Thanks for sending in your tips and juicy bits of gossip. Unfortunately, many of the items you've been kind enough to send our way we can't actually publish on the site since the details are impossible to confirm (and/or we'd have about 10 lawyers on us in a heartbeat if we did)! What does that mean for you? Blind items!

Who's got two thumbs and a drinking problem? Oh, no. That's not a blind item. I think that's patently obvious. But I do have two blinds for you after the jump. One that is pretty cryptically about a chaste somebody who is actually not so chaste, the other about a struggling divorcée. Enjoy them after the jump. This guy! Oh, wait. I did that too late, didn't I?

Hey you. Yeah you, the one who's going to read these blind items. Are you excited for a story about gangbangs? Or what about meth? I hope you are. 'Cause that's what you're gonna get.

The long, hard slog through the work week reaches its terrifying zenith this morning, as the computer screen in front of you begins to melt like Dali's clocks and you occasionally skip time and begin to think it's Friday, only to be bleakly reminded of old Woden's day. But chin up, you'll prevail. After the jump we've got yet another gay actor, a British pop band, and a sad tale of a heroic film director to help you putter along toward the inexorable drunken weekend.

As many loyal Defamer readers must know by now, our favorite blind items tend to include three elements: closeted actors, drug-addicted actresses, and those rare but joyous items that include the quote “Do you want to fuck my wife?” And kudos to the NY Daily News for providing us with the gruesomely enjoyable trifecta all in one sordid little piece today:

Another day, another story about cocaine and adultery. That's probably a sampler hanging on Agnes Nixon's wall. Anyway, drugs and sex, sex and drugs. That's what awaits you after the jump.
