Blind Items: I Guess, You Guess

I have written about this couple before, but apparently it is getting to the point where some kind of public announcement is coming. I don't remember how I described them in the past, but one is an openly gay male singer and the other is also male and a singer and is in a heterosexual marriage. Apparently, now that our married singer has ended his most recent tour, he is going to file divorce proceedings soon. He and the other singer are tired of living in the shadows and want to bring their relationship out in the open. (CDAN)

The first blind item about this is here. Back then, I guessed any dude who has been in front of a microphone. But for this one, I'm going to go with Clay Aiken & Ruben Studdard, because I really need to see them on a "We're Gay and in Love!" cover of People. Alternate guesses: Kris Allen & Glamberace or Lance Bass & Gavin Rossdale?

This actress who can sing, with a sister in the business, just got out of a really intense emotional relationship with another female costar from a movie. She?s technically not bisexual, but she could have been, for her actress costar that broke her heart by putting the brakes on their affair. (BuzzFoto)

Minnie Driver (her sister's a producer) and Hilary Swank? How could you, Hilary?! Or Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart? How could you, Kristen?! Yeah, I'll go with Kristen since I typed her name with more conviction.

When Boy and Girl 1 were together, Girl 1 had lots and lots of nasty things to say privately about Girl 2, another celebrity. Since Girl 1 and Girl 2 have never run in the same circles (one is known for film, and the other for television), it was unlikely to ever become more than a running joke between our couple that Girl 2 was a ?no-talent? ?slut?. Well, that is, until they split up. His first public hookup after the split? With Girl 2. To say Girl 1 is furious would be an understatement. The tide has turned, and what started out as an amicable break up has now become an all-out private war that includes lots of screaming matches on the phone about how Girl 1 doesn?t want that ?plastic whore? anywhere near their child/ren. For the record, the new relationship is a PR setup. Boy couldn?t care less about Girl 2. He just loves the attention that another relationship brings. And he really, really loves that there is nothing on earth that irritates Girl 1 more. (Blind Gossip)

If you Google "plastic whore" Kim Kardashian comes up on the fourth page, so I'll guess her, Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry?

The cast of this successful ensemble television show is totally falling apart! Star 1 and Star 2 mistakenly thought that they were the biggest and most irreplaceable stars of the show, and demanded pay raises disproportionate to the rest of the cast. Not only did the producers call their bluff, they threatened to write out their characters if they didn?t back down immediately. As of today, Star 1 and Star 2 aren?t backing down, so the producers have ordered rewritten scripts ? including one in which one of their characters is killed off and the other disappears.

Star 1 is already in negotiations for a new job with a rival network (which has infuriated the producers even more), and Star 2 is panicking because they don?t have anything else lined up. To make matters worse, if those two go, Star 3 (who didn?t demand a raise) will likely be leaving because they are sure the show will now flop. At least Star 3 has multiple projects already lined up to distract from some relationship issues. Star 4 has nowhere else to go and has been walking around with eyes red from crying for a week. Star 5 is smart enough to keep their mouth shut because this shake out will likely result in them taking over as the main character? which is something the producers planned all along. (Blind Gossip)

This could be Glee, but Desperate Housewives makes more sense to my ass. #1 Teri Snatcher, #2 Marcia Cross, #3 Eva Longoria, #4 Felicity Huffman and #5 Vanessa Williams? They better watch out before Marc Cherry gets all melodramatic and pulls out his slapping hand again.

Mary J. Blige Dishes On Her 'Crazy' Led Zeppelin Covers

'I've listened to their music since I was a child,' says the R&B diva, who recorded 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love.'

You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.

In early February, reports began circulating that Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven," working with Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her Stronger With Each Tear album, due Monday.

But after she had recorded "Stairway," Blige continued to get the Led out, covering another Zeppelin classic — the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love" — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the Essence Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you'd probably imagine.

"I did Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' — it's crazy," she said. "I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially 'Stairway to Heaven,' and 'Whole Lotta Love' is just fun."

Blige also said she recorded another new song — a "club record" called "I Can't Wait" — for the re-release. And while it's only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon.

"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.
