"Which recently rehabbed rocker got clean through a week-long induced coma? He couldn't bear to sweat out the booze on his own." [NYDN]
From today's installment of the always-pretty-easy Gatecrasher: "Which singer turned Broadway star is miserable along the Great White Way? Although he privately gripes that he hates the show he's in, he has to ride out his contract." [Gatecrasher]
Ah, the holidays. When the egg nog is flowing, anticipation is high, and the blind items are vague, yet laugh-out-loud delightful. From the Daily Mirror:
"Which clumsy rocker dropped a ciggie on his manhood while belting out a Beatles' song on the loo? He was left in agony and close to tears..."
"Clumsy," indeed! My first thought was one of Oasis' Gallagher brothers because, well, duh, but I surveyed my buddy list for a few other opinions. They're after the jump.

Which aging boy bander has proposed to his NYC waitress girlfriend several times already, and they've known each other 10 days? She keeps saying no.
Surely I can't be the only one who thought that this blind item was actually a rejected treatment for On The Line 2 that somehow made its way to Ben Widdicombe's desk at the Daily News.

"Which powerhouse music producer likes to gear up before long sessions in the studio by watching his favorite kind of big-booty porn?" [NYDN]
The "date Bret Michaels" trainwreck Rock Of Love hasn't even picked its "winner" yet, but VH1 is already getting ready to cast its sequel; this Saturday in Williamsburg, an open call for contestants who are "girls 21+, single and who are looking to win the love of the rock star of their dreams" will take place. According to the casting call, the rock star in question is "someone that makes the girls wild and girls would do anything just to meet this guy, a Tommy Lee type of rocker" who wants "hardcore rocker chicks, tattooed, big hair, drinks beer, rockin body." Hmm, well, that narrows it down while not narrowing it down at all! We've put four guesses after the jump, but feel free to chime in with your own.

Tucked inside Michael Musto's latest laundry list of blind items was this nugget on an ungrateful elder: "What wacky singer flinches when asked if she feels she's influenced a current superstar? (She feels the superstar can't really sing and therefore the question is kinda insulting.)" A current superstar who can't sing? Oh, the humanity. Anyway, our guesses are after the jump, poll-style:

The crack-bingeing star who cleared the Lollapalooza loo so she could fire up her pipe was, in fact, Amy Winehouse. [Gatecrasher]
From today's Gatecrasher: "Which troubled, hard-partying Lollapalooza performer cleared out a bathroom over the weekend in Chicago and then smoked what our spy-in-the-stall swears was a crack pipe?" Hmm! Well, it doesn't seem like there was a Moldy Peaches reunion on the bill, so they're out. Our guesses are after the jump.

This week's edition of the MTV.com column "Bigger Than The Sound" is a curious mea culpa for last week's installment, which was a (kind of funny! and we're not just saying that because it linked to us!) look at the idea of "anti-buzz" and how any press is conceivably good press. That piece isn't on MTV's site anymore, in large part because writer James Montgomery tried to start some anti-buzz by offering wild predictions about why a few artists' next albums would be disappointing. (As Montgomery puts it, "a representative for one of the artists I singled out was unhappy — and made her feelings known to my higher-ups.")From Gatecrasher:
Which rocker-ette, who is attempting a comeback, has a new eating disorder to replace the drugs? Apparently now she will eat only yogurt products.
Is that what's in Ensure, then? These things need to be explained to people whose idea of "healthy" is beer made with actual fruit.
