Sites and Mags like that are are able to make a profit because of discussions like this.

These days blind items are attention whoring ways for bloggers to spread poorly sourced or outright made up rumors without ever being proven false (since they rarely say who the rumor's about). They exist as a game to generate hits from people who think gossip is fun and prefer a salacious story to boring things like logic and truth. Sometimes blind items are planted by "rivals" who want to make somebody look bad, or by the PR team of a would-be star trying to generate discussion of their client. You'd be amazed by the perverse means some of these people try to keep their names out there.
We no longer live in the days where blind items were to protect legit gossip people from lawsuits. Celebs can hardly even sue tabloids for false stories where they're actually named these days! So blind item "standards" have sunk even lower.
The source for this is notorious for ridiculous and generally untrue BS. To the small degree he has connections they're to reputable journalism outlets like Star mag. [please make sure your sarcasm detectors are working] Let's not kid ourselves that just because tabloid monkeys hit on something true every once in a blue moon, that makes them reliable. It doesn't.
Follow the trail here people. This came out after the Post came out with the negative story on Tony's Vegas trip. That reminded gossip lowlifes of his celebrity QB history and the spectacular circumstances of the Jessica breakup, so they conveniently came up with this to pile on that other story. Of course the blind item's meant to make people think of Tony. And, most people will guess the Twilight actress is Ashley Greene because she has a reputation for getting around (I don't know if that's earned). And, it's even juicier because she's been linked to Tony's brother in law. Say it with me: TOO CONVENIENT.
Do I know this blind item to be untrue? Oh that's the game - I mean, we don't know it's untrue so we should accept the possibility that it's true because we shouldn't put athletes on a pedestal. I don't play that game. I consider the source 1st and foremost and I think it's transparent what's going on here. I don't need to prove it's untrue because stuff from these people IS untrue unless proven otherwise.

Cowboys&LakersFan;4375805 said:Chicks dig her music so of course I have to listen to it. There's not that many good artists nowadays all time my favorites are 2Pac and B.I.G.
rkell87;4375807 said:also that chick at the top of the page looks like a young marisa tomei
silverbear;4375870 said:Here's hoping you develop better taste in music as you age... LOL...
Sadly, you do seem to be right about the dearth of good musical artists these days... I like my music a bit less saccharine than what seems to be topping the charts... gimme a blues edge, and dueling guitars, and I'm happy...
silverbear;4375869 said:I can't be attracted to any young girl who wears that much makeup... but on the plus side, you almost always see her in a dress, and that's a plus with me (girls looking and acting feminine)...

kristie;4375887 said:maybe so, but if they did break up, she would write a song about him.
Cowboys&LakersFan;4375889 said:Yeah it would be called Dear Romo. :laugh2:
Cowboys&LakersFan;4375884 said:I know this may sound kind of corny, but Taylor's voice is just beautiful and obviously she is as well. You should try listening her and you'll fall in love with her as I and many guys have.
Cowboys&LakersFan;4375885 said:Taylor is one of those girls that is beautiful with or without makeup.
Probably doesn't. The post makes way too much sense.Gemini Dolly;4375835 said:Very interesting post. Do you work in the media world?

But like they say, where there is smoke there is fire. This is the smoke, .. I guess we will find out about the fire as time goes by.
If this is not true, then somebody needs to be held accountable for dragging Romo's name through this mud.
But if this is true, Romo's life will never be the same.
