Gawker · 05/18/04 08:01PM

Now the moment you've all been waiting for: let's review the three blind items from today's NY Post. Please remove the bandages but don't stare directly into the light since objects are more factual than they appear.

Blind Items: Action Hero Alert

The natives are restless and want their blind item fun so we're here to serve. Three blind items from today's NY Post await your guesses at tip@gawker.com.

Horace Mann and Spence: Sex and Drugs and Rock 'N' Roll

Gawker · 04/19/04 08:44AM

It's like a Larry Clark film out there at New York City's private schools these days. The rumors are that a 13-year-old Horace Mann 8th grader made a porn video for her boyfriend, who promptly put it on the internet. (Schmuck.) Now we hear that the girl's parents may be packing up and moving to Florida. (Have we learned nothing from Paris Hilton? Chill, people.)

Film Critics Gone Wild: Ivy League Edition

Gawker · 04/19/04 08:32AM

We keep hearing this story from all over: New York City film critic goes off to teach at a prestigious school, spends the semester being seduced by a nubile, fun-loving senior, gets drunk at a party, and, at last, off the two go for a consensual romp. (And good for them!) Reportedly, the film critic had already gotten a reputation as a lech on campus — the leer hasn't left his face all spring whenever he gave out his official work email address, which was often. Reportedly, the student has a very entertaining profile on The Facebook, complete with lingerie-clad action shot. But now the news is spreading all over New Haven and Cambridge — if it's true, and the story gets out, the repercussions could be serious. Kids, if you're not going to keep it in your pants on campus, keep your mouths shut! (And don't make weekend trips to New York together, sheesh.) You know we don't like to tease here, so you'll have to forgive us for not naming names in this age-old story of lust on the ivy.

Page Six Family Feud: Here Comes The Judge

Gawker · 04/02/04 11:45AM

I'm telling ya, this feature isn't long for this world. There is a reason gossip columnists invented blind items — it's so they don't get sued, ya know. (I've been to Central Booking and I have no interest in going back, frankly.) But for now, send your guesses — and these are merely guesses, my legal friends — to tips@gawker.com

Page Six Family Feud: Plucky Pop Tarts

Gawker · 04/01/04 10:58AM

Incidentally, our Page Six Family Feud section is going so well that we've begun getting fan mail from lawyers all over town. What do they think they're going to sue us for, anyway — an office full of near-empty liquor bottles?
