Royal blind item: "The Gilded Cage"

The foreign born subject of this blind is probably permanent A list, even though many people may not be familiar with who she is.  I'll call her Ms. N.  When she was younger, she had a super bright future.  Not only was she beautiful, but she was genius-level smart.  Ms. N's beauty and intelligence got her on the radar of some powerful people who decided they wanted her to become a part of their family and family business.  She was approached many times with offers to join this family firm, but turned all of them down.  This firm wanted her to join up with them in such a bad way that they even approached Ms. N's family members, hoping that they would also pressure her to agree. Ms. N's father was particularly ruthless in pressuring his daughter to take this offer, since he wanted prestige and wealth for himself.

Eventually these combined campaigns finally convinced Ms. N. to agree to work for this family- and even worse, she was also convinced to marry one of their higher profile members.  This family was able to con Ms. N that this was an incredible offer and made promises of love, wealth, status and other opportunities which were pretty hard to resist.

As is always the case, the public facing image of this family is far different than the reality in private.  By the time Ms. N. realized the truth, it was too late to extricate herself from the situation.  This family exists in a strange bubble with bizarre traditions, many of which are rumored to include cruelty and violence.  Ms. N's spouse, whose public image is that of a devoted husband, is also rumored to be a very volatile man in private. Ms. N is said to have had a lot of problems with her health.  Insiders have whispered rumors for years that these health problems were actually miscarriages-- not caused by infertility but by of physical violence inflicted on Ms. N. from both the husband and other relatives.  If the rumors are true, then this is some really disturbing stuff. As you can imagine, this situation has taken a toll on Ms. N. mentally and physically over the years.  When she threatened to leave and expose this nightmare, the rumor is that her passport was taken away and she was confined to the family home.  Sometimes months would pass before anyone saw her.  When outsiders became concerned, they were told that Ms. N was mentally unstable, which continued for years.

After a long absence, Ms. N has recently surfaced publically again -- and the rumors floating around are that she is about to break away from her awful situation once and for all.  And when it happens, count on it happening in a very public and ugly way.  The reason is because Ms. N is being aided by another foreign born A-list public figure, who I will call Ms. D.   Ms. D is involved in a similar family firm and recently befriended Ms. N., mostly because she noticed telltale signs that Ms. N was in crisis.

There is whispering that Ms. D is helping Ms. N formulate an escape plan.  Ms. D is flamboyant, high profile and well liked by the public. She will have no problem blasting this story out into the public so that Ms. N gets MAXIMUM public sympathy.  And when that happens, those in Ms. N's family organization will be thrown into such chaos that there could be some serious consequences as a result.

At a recent stop out of his home country, this A+ list celebrity was being a prick to some of the people walking him through an exhibit.

Royal blind item: "Didn't offer a ride"

Here’s a scenario to consider:

Let’s say you’re dating a guy and you’re super into each other, and you’ve been staying with him, and he’s really serious about you, the most serious he’s been about anyone. He lives in the same complex with someone he’s very close to. And the person he’s close to has a partner too. You and she don’t know each other well. But since you’ve been staying there, you run into each other one day. And you tell her you’re going shopping and where. She says she’s going shopping too and leaves in the car. You head out on foot. Turns out, she went shopping exactly where you went shopping. And she knew that’s where you were going. But she didn’t offer you a ride.

Is that weird?

Maybe it’s not that weird. But considering who they are, it IS super gossipy.

Royal blind item: "Secrets And Lies"

Photo credit: Gawker.com

This foreign born permanent A list celebrity is also the offspring of permanent A list celebrities. We’ll call him Mr. H. Because of his family ties, his career trajectory is pretty much a slam dunk. The problem is that the Mr H is only in the position he’s in because of his family connections. He is not very talented in his niche and his public likability factor is not that great either. It also doesn’t help that Mr H also suffers from frequent foot-in-mouth-disease and likes to mouth off about stuff in public that he shouldn’t.

Mr H’s personal life also has a history of being messy, and a good portion of the mess has been public. You’d have to be living on Mars not to know about it. Anyway, there are several situations involving Mr. H that are not known publicly. These scandals, if made public, would make the prior stuff involving our celebrity look like a day at Disneyland. Mr. H is very nervous right now because of a recent event that may unearth one of these secrets. If one of these particular situations were to become public knowledge, it would cause big problems for Mr H and his career path going forward. Not only could it totally derail those career plans, but also could do some serious damage in his personal life.

But, before we get to that, we need to take a trip in the Wayback Machine for a little history on this guy. As I already wrote, he has some character issues. He’s self centered and at heart, weak and ineffectual. This is mostly due to his upbringing. Mr. H also has a monster ego and sense of righteousness- and a nasty streak a mile wide if he’s challenged. It’s his way or the highway. He’s also had a history of making bad decisions about women, mostly because he vacillates between being weak and then alpha aggressive. Big time Mommy issues. No one can reign this guy in, not even his family members. One of his worst choices was to get involved with a particular woman when he was younger. He moved on from that eventually, but that particular woman lurked in the background of his life for a long time, causing a lot of collateral damage later. Mr H has also had a number of public relationships that did not work out. He eventually did get married- for the wrong reasons- and the marriage was a total disaster that played itself out in the public eye. What made it worse was that Mr. H cheated– a lot. Not only did he cheat publicly, but had other not-publicly known liaisons, including an affair with the hired help. Those around him were horrified about his bad judgment and a good deal of time and energy had to be spent doing damage control around his public image. This stuff had all the makings of an epic rubbish fire.

Now, back to the present day. Mr. H is on pins and needles because of a potentially emerging scandal which would dredge up all the old stories of his past. The scenario he is worried about involves a young woman who we’ll call Miss E. Miss E is a B list celebrity in her own little circle. She and her family have been close to Mr. H and his family for years. What the public doesn’t know is that Mr H had a long term affair with Miss E, starting from when she was barely out of her teens. Miss E harbored fantasies for years about marrying Mr. H. He, of course, strung her along with false promises about where the relationship was going (which was nowhere). The affair went on for a long time before she realized she was just being strung along. The problem is that Mr H could be so charming at times that she just could not say no to him, even though she knew she’d never be anything more than a hookup. Despite her attempts to break free from him, Miss E always went back when he called. One reason was low self esteem. The other was the money he would send her way. Several of her friends know about the couple. They also know that something that happened recently between the pair has the potential to expose their relationship which would make front page news and ruin Mr. H for all time.

Mr. H: Prince Charles
Woman in background: Camilla Parker-Bowles
Wife: Princess Diana

Royal blind item: "The Social Climber"

Photo credit: Gawker.com

This foreign born recently deceased celebrity was once a member of an extremely famous A+ family. To say he was socially ambitious is an understatement. He came by it naturally, since his mother was one of the most ruthless social climbers of her generation. After marrying young and giving birth to our celebrity and his sibling, their mother decided her husband was not ambitious or rich enough — and decided to trade him in for someone with much more wealth and social status, which she did. After marrying up, she also had children with the new, very rich husband. Those “new’ children were always the children she presented to the world– while consigning the older children from the first marriage to the sidelines. (She referred to the first set of kids as “the ugly kids”.) This celebrity’s father was a bit more caring towards his children but also troubled. He was married multiple times, including a marriage to a woman who was decades younger than he was. Coming from this background really affected our celebrity- and as a result, he developed into an extremely calculating, charming, and ambitious social climber himself. This bit of information about his personality traits are no secret, nor is the fact that he was bisexual. He was certainly not shy about sleeping with whichever women (or men) that could further his ambitions, which eventually took him to the very, very top of the societal food chain.

To say our celebrity’s love life was tangled and tragic is an understatement. There are many, many stories about him, but some of the lesser known stories involve the children he fathered out of wedlock. The first child was conceived just before our celebrity married a woman, who was at that time probably one of the most well known women in the world. In fact, this child was born at almost the same time that the wedding took place. What is more sad, is our celebrity would not consent to a paternity test for nearly four decades. The child, (that point now an adult), had heard rumors for years that the man who raised them was not their father biologically. (A DNA test later confirmed this.) What is even more twisted is our celebrity used to regularly visit the child’s family home when they were growing up, and the child did not suspect he was actually their real father until years later. The best part of this story is the circumstance in which this child was supposedly conceived. The pregnancy is said to have been the result of a relationship triangle– a weekend filled with alcohol, poppers and a liaison between our celebrity, a male friend and his compliant wife. The best part is that the male friend (who eventually raised the aforementioned child as their own), was due to play an important role in the wedding of our celebrity– and was forced to cancel at the last minute due to the impending birth of the child.

No one is really certain how many lovers (male or female) this celebrity actually had during his lifetime, but what IS known is that he was very popular in gay circles. He was always coy about his links to men, but was not shy about his female conquests, of which there were many. People who knew the celebrity back in the day claim that the real love of his life was a beautiful girl who was from a different race. He was said to be very much in love with this young woman, but she was deemed completely unacceptable by his mother due to her ethnicity and lack of wealth and social standing. Our celebrity dumped this girl shortly before his high profile engagement was announced. She was totally unaware (and devastated to learn) that he had been having a secret relationship with this other very famous woman while seeing her at the same time. Of course, eventually that high profile marriage ended in divorce, but our celebrity’s proclivities did not. He kept a mistress on the side for several decades. It is said that this mistress became depressed after spending the holidays alone one year, and subsequently committed suicide. Our celebrity did eventually get married again, but he was not faithful to the second wife either. That marriage came to an end after it was revealed that he’d fathered yet another child with a different woman on the side. He apparently was never involved with that particular child and never saw them prior to his death. The official cause of this celebrity’s death was given as one illness–but the rumor that has been floating around is that the real underlying cause of death was caused by something else.

Royal blind item: "Selling Your Soul For Teenage Girls"

Photo credit: Gawker.com

Over the past several years, a troubling pattern has begun to emerge in film productions. Many straight to On Demand movies are being made in this Eastern European country solely based on the fact their age of consent is 14. Production companies line up these movies back to back and bring in actors who are known for partying harder than most actors. The next thing you know, the actors are filmed having sex with some 14 year old and are asked to lower their fee to SAG scale rather than the amount originally agreed to. If they don’t agree, then they are threatened with the tapes being exposed.

The owners of the studios in these countries are generally backed by a foreign power who has been their backer for almost 100 years. If any really prominent actors are caught up in their night, they forward the information to certain divisions within that backing country. This has led to multiple former A list actors suddenly becoming front and center spokespeople for the country. They attest to how amazing it is and in return are given special status and recognition by the government with no one the wiser how it came to be.

Actors are not the only prominent people ensnared in this trap. Anyone with a fondness for teen girls who visits one of the countries should know they are going to be recorded with them. It is why a prominent member of the British royal family is such a staunch supporter of a country you wouldn’t think he would like at all. If you are a wealthy businessman doing business with one of these countries, you will be offered one of these 14 year old girls. You think it is legal, which it is, but would the rest of the world see it the same way. Plus, deliberately, other countries in this region raise and lower the age with a great deal of frequency and write the laws so no one understands what they mean except a prosecutor.

One actor who was a nobody when he was filming a sequel and got involved with a 14 year old is now an A- list mostly television actor on a hit network show. A 30 second snippet of his all night sex session with a 14 year old was remotely installed to his hard drive last month. He is freaking out and knows his career will be ruined and that newlywed wife of his will be out the door.

Another actor caught up in all of this was in one of the biggest movies of all time. You all know him even though he has not done much since. He was also in a millionth sequel to something when he got involved with several 14 year old boys. His significant other would leave for sure and no one would ever hire him again, so he has agreed to do multiple appearances in the backer country and to even appear on several episodes of a soap opera there.

This way back in the day A list mostly television actor got caught up with multiple teens when he was shooting one of these sequels and ended up having to sell part of his production company to a silent partner who is controlled by this backer country. The list goes on and on.

Out of my normal range, but apparently this elderly A+ list royal used a mild cold as a great excuse to stay away from several possible threats against her life that intelligence services said were likely. Apparently this all came to light because one royal family member used the absence to garner himself a bunch of publicity. That has not helped his relationship with his older brother who knows the younger brother uses opportunities like this to line his pockets with questionable income.
