Amanda Knox Verdict Finally Decided
If you haven't been following the Amanda Knox trial, she and boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted of murdering Knox's roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2009 and sentenced to lengthy stays in jail. In 2011, an Italian appeals court overturned their convictions citing lack of evidence, and Knox and Sollecito were set free. In 2013, the case was retried in Italy and their earlier acquittals were overturned, and they each once again received lengthy jail sentences which were never served, because the case was immediately appealed.
The saga has finally come to an end. CNN reports that on Friday, the Italian High Court threw out their convictions once and for all. There will be no further trials on the matter; Knox and Sollecito have finally and permanently been found not guilty. Amanda Knox released the following statement:
"The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of this ordeal. And throughout this ordeal, I have received invaluable support from family, friends and strangers. To them, I say: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness has sustained me. I only wish that I could thank each and every one of you in person."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Why She Is Ignoring His New Wife
Anyone who accuses this actress of doing things just for the publicity probably doesn’t realize that she doesn’t even have a publicist. She has always simply done exactly what she wanted to do.
When she was younger, she used to do a lot of wild and destructivethings, and she was unhappy a lot of the time. Now, she’s calmer and more constructive, and she is much happier. Not perfect, mind you, but genuinely happier. And she is still doing exactly what she wants to do.
There are four things about which she is genuinely passionate: her business, her charitable work, her husband, and her kids. She also has to take care of her health issues. That’s where she puts her time. That’s where she puts her energy. It’s a very full life.
There definitely isn’t any time or room for phony people who want to latch onto her to boost their own profile. She knows that this actor’s marriage is a sham. That’s why she didn’t go to his wedding… and that’s why she’s not going to let his phony new wife use her.

Drew Barrymore recently sat down for an interview with Glamour magazine, where she talked about how her body has changed after having two children. The magazine quotes Barrymore as follows:
"After making two babies, holy cow, does your body do some crazy stuff! It’s hard to stay positive and love yourself. You feel like a kangaroo with a giant pouch; everything’s saggy and weird. But you think about how beautiful it is that you’re able to make children. When I lose sight of that, I exercise, read Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, and spend time with my kids. Then I start to see things that are bigger than myself."

Remember years ago when Roxanne Gorzela accused Mark Salling of forcing her to have sex without a condom, and then when she confronted him later about it, claimed that he assualted her? Well, TMZ reports that the case has finally been resolved. Here's where it gets interesting. A judge has awarded the following in damages to Gorzela:

Past medicals $64,155
Future medicals $666,000
Past non-economic damages $180,000
Future non-economic damages (pain and suffering) $1.8 million

Blind Gossip Blind Item - The Roommate Diaries
Dear Diary,
Now that this famous actor and his wife have split, I am on a mission to leak all sorts of horrible detailsabout the wife to the media. I am trying to paint her as an unfit mother to hurt her chances of gaining custody of the couple’s child/ren. Who am I to do such a thing? Why, I’m The Roommate!
You may be asking yourself why a rich and famous actor and his wife would need/want/have a male roommate living in their house. Well, I’m certainly not here to help pay the rent or participate in that stupid job wheel on the refrigerator!
No, I am here because I am the actor’s BOYFRIEND! I am the person he loves. I am his partner in life. The marriage and the baby were just an arrangement to help him look straight. Unfortunately, he really picked the wrong person to partner with on this sham, and now it’s my job to help him get rid of her as soon as possible.
Well, I’ve got to go and leak a few more nasty anecdotes about her! Until next time, Dear Diary…

The world could be breaking up and they're saying, 'Everything's fine!' Getting older and having kids, you learn how to become less serious about it all. Right now I'm having a very great moment, but it's a moment, and I always think, okay, worst-case scenario: Could I survive in my car? Would this be okay? My friends call it disaster thinking. I like to think of it as realism."

Oh, did I forget to mention that Renner's roommate Griffin Hadley also filed documents with the court painting Pacheco in a bad light? That's right, Renner has a male roommate. The only shocking part of that statement is that it is not his business partner Kristoffer Winters!

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Mad About The Brat Pack
There is a well-known young female celebrity who is very upset about the Vogue “Brat Pack” photo spread! However, she is not mad because her ex is featured in the spread. She is mad because she wasn’t asked to be included!
It actually wasn’t a personal thing. It was a model-y thing. The magazine wanted very lean and lanky celebs who could pass for high-fashion models. That’s the reason our celebrity didn’t make the cut.
By the way, the sibling of one of the Brats did not make the cut for exactly the same reason!

In a recent Q&A with the New York Times, Will Ferrell was asked about the recent racist incident at a University of Oklahoma fraternity. The publication quotes him as follows:
"The incident in Oklahoma, that is a real argument for getting rid of the system altogether, in my opinion, even having been through a fraternity. Because when you break it down, it really is about creating cliques and clubs and being exclusionary. Fraternities were started as academic societies that were supposed to have a philanthropic arm to them. And when it's governed by those kinds of rules, then they're still beneficial. But you've got to be careful."

When I first got to the States, people told me I should think about modeling. So I went to a few agencies, but once they measured my body, they didn't like me anymore. It's about proportion. I have to have everything tailored because I have such a small waist. I'm a 2 or a 0 on the top, and a 6 on the bottom.

Lainey Gossip Blind Item - Actor vs Director
An acclaimed actor. And an acclaimed director. A director with a huge ego, recently made even bigger, and his acclaimed friends are pricks too, so it’s not like there’s anyone around to check his behaviour... until he took it a step too far with someone who has some experience with knocking around douchebags on set.
So it’s been a long shoot. And this is a technically particular director. His exacting demands have made it so that production is taking a long, long time. He berates and belittles the crew, he’s impatient, and he’s often cruel, even unethical in his pursuit to get the “perfect shot”. With the hardware now, he feels even more justified in being as unkind as he wants to be, because in his mind, art is often not compatible with compassion. Compassion was the problem when one of his leads, due to a physical ailment, relied on wardrobe to come up with a solution that would alleviate some of his pain. It was a relief to the actor and, for the most part, it wasn’t a big deal aesthetically, until a long shot was required, at which point the director noticed that an adjustment had been made to help with the actor’s discomfort.
The director went ballistic. He got right up in the actor’s face. They start screaming at each other. They decide to take their argument somewhere private, where they continue to yell at each other. It’s LOUD. It’s ugly. It’s level 15 on intensity. The director won’t forgive, the actor won’t apologise. Everyone can hear. And then…
Silence.
The actor exits. On his own.
The director?
Is found by the crew moments later. On the ground in his tent. One punch.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Five Times In Ten Years
This actor recently broke up with his girlfriend. No surprise there. She was just the latest in a long line of fake “serious girlfriends.” And we are going to give you the scoop on exactly how it works!
“Serious girlfriends” are always models or actresses. They are set up by their respective publicists. If the first few dates go well and they both agree to continue, they go into contract. A minimum of one photo op per month. After the first year or so, their P.R. teams float the rumor that they are getting serious. “They are talking about getting engaged/having children/shopping for rings/looking to buy a house/going to move in together!” That’s the final flurry of publicity. Then, a few months later, they amicably break up.
There was one time that the contract was broken, but even that actress eventually came back around, and the “relationship” was resumed and completed.
This setup works so well that our actor has repeated it five times in the past ten years! Yes, there is a pattern there… and there is no limit to the number of times it will repeat in the future!

Straight James Franco Interviews Gay James Franco
After Shia LaBeouf's heartbeat "art" stunt last week, I didn't think that James Franco would be able to take back his crown so soon, but I think he just did! James Franco recently sat down for an interview with FourTwoNine magazine, in which he interviews himself as "Straight James Franco" talking to "Gay James Franco." The magazine quotes him as follows:
"I like to think that I’m gay in my art and straight in my life. Although, I’m also gay in my life up to the point of intercourse, and then you could say I’m straight. So I guess it depends on how you define gay. If it means whom you have sex with, I guess I’m straight. In the twenties and thirties, they used to define homosexuality by how you acted and not by whom you slept with. Sailors would fuck guys all the time, but as long as they behaved in masculine ways, they weren’t considered gay.
I guess I mean that I like my queer public persona. I like that it’s so hard to define me and that people always have to guess about me. They don’t know what the hell is up with me, and that’s great. Not that I do what I do to confuse people, but as long as they are confused, I get time to play.
Maybe sex with a guy would change things, but I doubt it. Like I said, I’m gay in my art. Or, I should say, queer in my art. And I’m not this way for political reasons, although sometimes it becomes political, like when I voted for same-sex marriage, etc. But what it’s really about is making queer art that destabilizes engrained ways of being, art that challenges hegemonic thinking.
Because it means that I can be a figure for change. I am a figure who can show the straight community that many of their definitions are outdated and boring. And I can also show the gay community that many of the things about themselves that they are giving up to join the straight community are actually valuable and beautiful."

Holly Madison Writing Book About The Mansion
Holly Madison, former main girlfriend to Hugh Hefner, is writing a memoir titled "Down The Rabbit Hole." People quotes the press release as follows:
"What seemed like a fairy tale life inside the Playboy Mansion -- including A-list celebrity parties and her own No. 1-rated television show for four years -- quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. Life inside the notorious Mansion wasn't a dream at all -- and quickly became a nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide.

"I actually went on a bit of a binge. I went pretty crazy. A lot of the stuff I did last year I would never do had I been in my right mind. I could see Paul once every two years and just know there was another human on the planet who's deep like me, who loves like that. When that disappears, you wonder, 'Wait a minute, what do I hold on to?' There was nothing to tether me to this existence: 'Why am I fucking here? And, like, why'd you leave without me?'
I was pushing myself to feel. I felt nothing I could do could make me feel alive, so I just kept pushing myself harder and harder. I was traveling, and I was having sex. And I was just trying to ignore everything that I was feeling. I just woke up [one morning] with a profound respect for living. I stood tall one day, and I said, 'You know what, Michelle? Stop fucking hiding. Go manifest.' And all of a sudden, I picked myself up and started hustling."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Justin Bieber And The Siblings
Justin Bieber and Madonna had several interesting moments on Ellen the other day.
They played a little game called “Never Have I Ever.” The game has Ellen DeGeneres asking a question in the form of a statement about intimate events (Yes, the title and the format are a little confusing). The celebrity then raises a paddle to answer “I Have” or “I Have Never.”
Anyway, during the course of the game, Justin Bieber claims that he has never had phone sex, and Madonna claims that she has had sex with more than two different people in one day.
Another one of the statement/questions that Ellen DeGeneres asked was, “Never have I ever dated someone and their sibling.”
All three celebrities raised their paddles stating, “I Have.”
Since Justin Bieber typically dates other celebrities, which siblings do you think he has dated?
