I can't believe this is being given the time of day. 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.
