Rules Project: Celebrity Blind Items

The "Blind Item" may be the gossip piece that keeps checking out celebrity blogs. It is a piece of gossip about a celebrity that is kept anonymous, at least for a time. Readers can guess about who the celebrity in question is in the comments sections and the name of that celebrity is sometimes revealed at some point in the future.


The writing sometimes makes the "Bind Item" that much more difficult to figure out. And, of course, the writers of this item is not a professional writer.


This comes from the website crazydaysandnights.net.


     Blind Item #6
     The people of this A list diva and everything else in her mind are threatening her ex with a
     restraining order because he won't stop calling and texting everyone around her. He wants more
     money.


To me, the most confusing part of this is the subject. Is it the A list diva, her people. or everything else in her mind. What does this mean? How can everything besides the people in her mind be threatening her ex?

    I agree with you; the subject is confusing. It switches from one separate subject to the next. I also wonder why the weird staggered format? It made the sentences even more confusing.

    Blind items are delicious. Unfortunately, I agree with you -- it is extremely difficult to tell what the writer means by her first sentence.

    There is an A-list Diva, and her people (management?) and everything else in her mind (the voices she hears in her head?) are threatening to bring a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend? Because he wants more money?

    So vague. This writer needs more practice. ;)
