Bella Hadid before the surgeries, Sky Ferreira before the heroin, and a blind item I plan on revealing (so start sending in your guesses)!
The first few stories are school related because of this post.
~CELEBRITY ENCOUNTERS~
Michael Phelps
“My sister’s friend had a class with Michael Phelps and he flaked out on their group project and she’s still mad.” - Anonymous
Pentatonix
“I know this girl that went to high school with Scott, Mitch and Kirstin from Pentatonix. They say they were nerds, but this girl said they were popular and well-known around school since they were great singers and won all the teen singing competitions. She also said Scott wasn’t in school much his senior year because he was working on music stuff (and it looks like it payed off!) She and Scott are still in touch so that’s nice.” - Anonymous
Seann William Scott
“Seann William Scott went to my college (Concordia St. Paul, MN). Obviously he went there back in the day and I go there now, but all the old professors talk about how he barely ever showed up and when he did always made derogatory comments about the hispanic and among students and how he would use discussion time in class to bring up whatever he was auditioning for basically to self promo and stroke his ego.” - Anonymous
Aaron Carter
“A return to the Aaron Carter stories - my brother’s girlfriend went to one of his shows ironically and posted a selfie from the audience on Twitter and tagged him for fun - he immediately DMed her and asked her to come backstage. She said no because she has a boyfriend and he kept DMing her all night BEGGING her to come backstage, then telling her where he was and begging her to come meet him. Lmao he’s getting so desperate. Keep in mind she was barely 19 at the time.” - Anonymous
And another Aaron story:
“My friends and I went to an Aaron Carter how a few months ago. The DJ played Backstreet Boys songs before he came on. He quickly took off his shirt and wore a wife-beater the whole show and talked about being newly single. For his encore, he made a point of coming out with his Louis Vuitton monogrammed backpack on. My friends figured it was probably fake.” - Off-Anonymous
Allstar Weekend
“Don’t know if you count the dudes from Allstar Weekend, but we’re from the same neighborhood. I go to school with Nathan and he gets along well with everyone. Cameron (he ~allegedly~ dated Selena Gomez) and I worked the same summer job but at different schools. I’d see him during field trips. He’s dating girl from Echosmith now. One guy told me they got majorly screwed by Disney/Hollywood Records when they left because they never made back their money so they’re still paying it off.” - Anonymous
The Guy From Hayden Panettiere’s Wake Up Call Video
“I met Sebastian Stan the other day while out shopping and he was so so sweet! He stopped and hugged me and my friends and posed for pictures. I sadly didn’t get to see him naked.” - Anonymous
God
“I randomly met Lindsay Lohan yesterday in London. She was walking with her boyfriend and both were total sweethearts, although you could tell he was shy/not used to attention. I asked when will we get to see her again on the big screen and she said she’s working on it. Oh, and she truly looks much better in person, really fresh faced!” - Anonymous
Selena Gomez
“I work for a pretty famous stylist in NYC and I overheard her talking on the phone with the people from W Magazine that were preparing the Selena Gomez cover. My boss and the lady from W kept talking about how Selena is ‘incredibly unphotogenic’ and that she has literally no hair left, and that her budget for hair extensions is extremely high. It made me giggle, since she’s the face of Pantene.” - Anonymous
James Rodriguez
“I know for a fact that James Rodriguez cheats on his wife with a Miss Universe whenever he’s in New York. My friend has mutual friends and met him and the mistress.” - Anonymous
Demi Lovato & Avril Lavigne
“I live in Brazil but I’m American so I’m always back and forth. I was at a popular restaurant here called Fogo De Chao and while I was talking to the waiter, he said Demi Lovato had come in when she was on tour here and was drinking really heavily. I told him she was 'sober,’ and he said she drank a lot. Avril Lavigne had also gone there and wanted to leave through the backdoor when she saw fans.” - Anonymous
Timberdouche
“My friend lives in London and was at the same club as Justin Timberlake. They got really drunk and had sex. Only mentioning it because he’s married and has a kid with Jessica Biel.” - Anonymous
Kim & Kanye
“A few years back (on the Yeezus tour) my ex told me that whenever Kim and Kris traveled with Kanye they were very particular about how their smoothies were made.” - Anonymous
Justin Bieber
“Justin Bieber is basically the slut of Toronto. There’s not one club girl that doesn’t have a story. And apparently if the girl is really pretty, he doesn’t use condoms.” - Anonymous
Ben Affleck
“I met Ben Affleck at the Batman V Superman premiere in NYC and he was by far one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever met. We talked for a couple of minutes before the movie started, which was more than I expected considering he was technically working. My seat was near his and the rest of the cast’s and he waved to me on his way out which I thought was really nice.” - Anonymous
George Clooney
“My friend worked redoing George Clooney’s house and he was so sleazy. He would wander around the house naked every time she was there to do measurements… ew.” - Anonymous
Coop
“My brother’s girlfriend was a huge fan of The O.C. and one year she went on vacation to the town where they filmed the show and she saw the cast at a restaurant and she said most of them were nice but Mischa Barton was a huge bitch and wouldn’t even take a photo with her.” - Anonymous
Emma Watson
“My old driving instructor was friends with someone who worked on the set of the Harry Potter films back in the day, and we went to go and visit set once. He said that Emma Watson was 'the nastiest bitch I’ve ever come across.’ Apparently she constantly chain smokes cigarettes, and she went up to him in the cafeteria and asked: 'What the fuck are you doing sitting in my seat?’” - Anonymous
Darcy Edwards
“I saw Shenae Grimes at my store this one time looking around. She asked for help and I told her about the deals then she rolled her eyes so hard at me (thought was kinda of rude). I mentioned her Degrassi days and then she gave me the dirtiest look. She should be happy I noticed her D-List ass.” - Anonymous
Amanda Bynes
“I study fashion product development at FIDM and while I’m not in her class, I see Amanda Bynes on campus pretty often. Towards the beginning of the term she looked a bit rough but she’s seeming better now. Occasionally people see her muttering to herself but she tries to hide it by talking into her cell phone.” - Anonymous
Dakota Fanning
“Dakota Fanning came into the bar I work a few days ago. She looks like a bloated baby. She got a few drinks and left. Less than great tipper.” - Off-Anonymous
Goop & Meryl
“My friend’s parents used to live in the same building in Tribeca as Meryl Streep and Gwyneth Paltrow. Both of them were rarely actually there, but apparently Gwyneth is super sweet and Meryl is cold and distant. I would’ve thought the other way around.” - Anonymous
TSwift & Tom Hiddleston
“As I’m sure you’re aware, Taylor Swift’s new relationship is a sham. I heard from two people who live in Rhode Island that they saw her bickering at Tom Hiddleston while he just stood there and took it. They didn’t know who he was (why would they?) and they thought he was staff of hers until they saw the beach photos.” - Anonymous
~INSIDE #DIRT~
A source of mine sent in some pre-surgery snaps of Bella Hadid:
She’s giving me Kiki Kannibal vibes in that first picture.
The source also filled me in on the fact that Bella’s had not just one, but two nose jobs - both done by Ashlee Simpson’s savior Dr. Raj Kanodia. The first was done in 2012, the second was done in 2014. And despite some reports stating otherwise, I can confirm she had to get daddy’s approval before going under the knife.
And while we’re on the subject of Before& After, a source who went to high school with Sky Ferreira sent me some cute yearbook pictures from her pre-heroin days:
They said she was a pretty cool person, too:
“I went to high school with Sky Ferreira for two years. She was a really sweet girl - a hipster before it was cool to be a hipster. She left Culver High School in Los Angeles because she was bullied/called homeless because of her 'aesthetic.’ She wasn’t on drugs at the time. Around 2009 she started leaving school a lot for recording, then I think she started doing hard stuff. She was really sweet to me, though. We used to AIM all the time about raves like Monster Massive, she was really into them. Overall, she was a really lowkey girl, not loud, just a calming presence.” - Source
Also, another interesting fact, another one of my source’s classmates is Michael Madsen’s son Christian - I guess that explains why Michael was in Sky’s Obsession video:
And a couple of parting tidbits, Ashley Tisdale’s new makeup line is tanking badly. Someone who works at the company behind the line told me that she hasn’t even hit a thousand sales and it’s been out for at least a month. I don’t know what Ashley expected - she should just go back to singing already. And another piece of gossip that I meant to share ages ago but kept forgetting - after I made my 8th & Ocean post, a crew member from the show reached out to me and spilled on the behind the scenes gossip - plot twist, there was no gossip! Apparently the cast was so insanely “boring” that several production teams tried recutting the same footage over and over again to get something interesting, and my source added that the poor camera guys almost “died of boredom” while shooting. Needless to say, a second season was off the table.
~BLIND ITEM~
Which part-time singer, full-time social climber was trying to keep a low-profile while picking up Plan B at CVS recently? And when I say low-profile, I mean the full “I’m a celebrity, please don’t notice me” uniform of sweats, sunglasses, and a baseball cap. When she finally found what she was looking for, an employee recognized the singer and asked her for a picture. Pretty soon, word spread through the store that she was in their midst and her attempts at keeping a low-profile were totally blown. Eventually, she tossed the Plan B back on the shelf and made a dash for the exit.
This blind I will be revealing, so start sending in your guesses! The first person with the right guess wins (the satisfaction of knowing you won, I’m too cheap for a prize)!
