This is probably the silliest Idolator blind item poll in an illustrious history of silly-ass blind item polls, especially since male beautifying is no longer so verboten as to be shocking. (I’m even shaving more than once a month now. Up next: ironing my shirts.) Nonetheless we must scratch our heads as we wonder: “Which macho crooner secretly loves manicures and pedicures? The ladies’ man pretends he’s off to the gym whenever he’s going to get pampered.” Admittedly it was the “macho” part that initially threw us, as it 86’s about 95 percent of the XY chromosomes currently clogging Billboard, but we think we’ve come up with a few distinct possibilities and a couple of outliers.

Which Musical Metrosexual Can’t Stop Getting His Nails Done?
Presenting The Most Infuriating Musical Blind Item Of The Year (So Far)
The Idolator braintrust has spent the last twenty minutes scratching our heads over this New York Daily News blind item, and frankly we were just about to give up: “Which distinctively named member of a chart-topping pop group swings both ways? He surprised his male talent escort at a recent Hollywood red-carpet event with an invitation back to his hotel room.” Distinctively named? Like…with multiple umlauts? Or with a “y” in place of an “i”? (Also, what is a “male talent escort”? As Maura said, “I feel like this item is written in some like just-off-English dialect.”) And “chart-topping pop group” does allow us to leave out, uh, Crocus Behemoth and Euronymous from Mayhem. But a chart-topping pop group from what decade? This was next to impossible, but please cast your vote for one of our shot-in-the-dark guesses (or write in one of your own). MORE »
Blind Item Reveals That Some Musicians May Not Be Faithful To Their Spouses
From today’s Gatecrasher: Which velvet-voiced crooner with a famous parent is using his new fame to stock his bed with young lovelies - every time his wife is out of town? MORE »
Can Someone Explain To Us What An “Unlikely Nose Job” Is?
Because it would go a long way toward helping us figure out the subject of this blind item from today’s New York Daily News: Which female singer - who has had the same unlikely nose job as her brother - has a metal brace up her schnoz to keep it from collapsing? MORE »
Which Alt-Country Act Was Discovered With A Coke-Covered Fingernail Up Its Nostril?
Silly Daily News blind items can you teach much of practical use in your everyday life. For instance, this time we learned all sorts of new, MacGyver-esque uses for fake fingernails. Did you know they were strong enough that you can rock out with them? Or that they can also be used for snorting illegal narcotics with alt-country stars? MORE »
Which Country Group Spent The Day After The CMAs With Coke Nose?
Country music is not known for odes to burying your face in a big pile of illegal stimulants. Hence, the following blind item piqued our interest: “At a CMA after party, this award winning group had a drinking contest. Kind of boring huh? Maybe this fact will change your mind. When they were playing quarters, if someone got the quarter in the glass, the other members of the group had to do a line of coke. Kind of surprising considering they aren’t the slimmest bunch of people.” Since when did country stars start having their after parties at MisShapes? So who’s been hiding ten gallons of blow under their hat? MORE »

Which Hip-Hop Family Man Is Knockin’ Boots With Multiple Partners In Public?
We woke up this morning and thought, “You know what we haven’t had for a while? A good blind item poll.” And when we opened the Daily News, we found this: “Which famously un-single hip-hop powerhouse recently had a booty call with three women in a private third-floor room of that very trendy restaurant on Greenwich St.?” (Ah, from the Burger King bathroom to a private room in a trendy restaurant.) But who was this cocksman breaking multiple commandments? MORE »
Which Hip-Hop Star Is Breaking Multiple Commandments?
If there’s one attribute amongst rappers that’s wholly overrated it’s “realness”; at this point I’m really not going to be impressed if I find out that Yung Joc actually sold angel dust out of an ice cream van he painted black, clipping old ladies from the back window with poison darts as he drove by them. So when the New York Post asks “What rapper - and it’s not Diddy - has exaggerated his hardscrabble childhood to help build his reputation?” my first instinct is to say “most of them.” But no, there’s one specifically this gossip page blind item has in mind, thanks to the mention that “his mom wasn’t as bad as he rhymes.” Wait, don’t most rappers love their mamas in an overly maudlin fashion? Who could this be? Surely the identity of this fibbing mother-hater can only be solved by a patented Idolator TGIF/eight-hours-to-the-weekend poll: MORE »
Which Hip-Hop Lady Is Hiding A “Big” Secret?
A juicy if typically vague blind item at Concrete Loop casts doubt on the heterosexuality of yet another female rapper–or, excuse us, “hip-hop lesbian,” which could mean anyone from a journalist to a label gofer, but we’re gonna guess it’s a rapper–who has some very specific requests in bed. This silly “mystery” looks like a job for our comments box pollsters: Which hip-hop honey wants to be your father figure? You can find out a little bit more about this lady and our guesses as to her identity (which, to be fair, include just about every female rapper who’s released an album in the last two years) after the jump: MORE »
Which Pop Starlet Is Doubling As An Adderall Dispenser?
From today’s Rush & Molloy: “What pint-size pop star likes to pop Adderall? She’s even tried to foist the prescription zinger on female friends.” Is the doubled-up use of the word “pop” a hint, or are Rush & Molloy on to another ADD-drug distributor? MORE »
