The Awful Truth
I want to give some love to my favorite gossip column. The Awful Truth over at www.eonline.com is written by wordsmith Ted Casablanca and always has the best dish and is probably the most enjoyable to read. Ted has loads of personality and a writing style that takes some getting used to, but when you finally get it, you really feel like you're really reading something juicy. And often times, you are...
Ted seems to always have the best dish that doesn't end up on TMZ or in the tabloids. There are certain things that just can't be written about our beloved celebs without these publications being seriously sued. See, Ted doesn't want to be sued either so he only ever gives just enough information to get his point across and lets you fill in the blanks. For the really dirty dish, he posts blind items, which he calls "Blind Vices," and tells the whole story in detail but doesn't use the star's real name. Still stumped about who he's referring to? Just look at the comments and his gossip-hound readers usually make very informed guesses.
Ted's scoop is almost always spot on...usually after a huge celeb scandal starts to surface Ted will reveal a blind vice he wrote weeks, months or years earlier detailing the dirt. He says recently deceased star, Brittany Murphy was a regular Blind Vice, though he's not revealing which one yet. In light of Murphy's death Ted has reached out to Blind Vice favorite, Morgan Mayhem aka Lindsay Lohan pleading for her to get her act together and it's not the first time he's done it either. He's not heartless....he loves celebs like we do and wants the best for them. Lindsay has even responded to friends and fans concerns posting on her Twitter,
"Wishing everyone a blessed new year in 2010! Everyone get ready for more (but positive-LOHAN MAYHEM!!!!!!!!) Thanks for all of your support!"
Hopefully she'll take heed and get her act together. Some other favorite Blind Vices include Toothy-Tile aka Jake Gyllenhal, who is totally gay and this is no secret to Reese Witherspoon...and Me-Me Dallas and Tobey Yum Yum aka Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas who have done the deed and aren't as innocent as they claim.
Everyday Ted will answer your questions in the "Bitch-Back" which is definitely a must-read for any gossip fan. "Truth, Lies, and Ted" is his hilarious end-of-the-week video wrap up which is too funny to miss. Ted and his crew have been on Christmas break and will finally return tomorrow with what surely deliver some serious celeb shenanigan's over the holidays. Catch up at The Awful Truth.
